 Hey guys, it's Nate, aka The Foot Accountant. Welcome back to the channel. Happy Sunday! I hope the weekend has been pretty good for you. We have a video today talking about this winter Wild Cards promo inside of FIFA 22 Ultimate Team because it is really starting to affect the market. Everything content-wise that we have had over these past couple weeks after Black Friday we're used to seeing the market drop in December. But this promo right here is really accelerating that drop and we really are in a market crash scenario right now with a lot of the prices that we are seeing on this game and even the drops that we've seen in the past couple of days. But moreover the drops that we've seen in the past like two weeks. So I want to take a look at the market right now because we have some prices that have been dropping rapidly in the current times, right? Take a look at Gold Mbappe, 1.09 million coins. This guy's under 1.1 mil. He was literally just a couple weeks ago, 1.4 million coins coming out of Black Friday when so many people had coins from opening packs waiting to buy their teams. We saw big-time market inflation, a lot of really meta cards went up and now a lot of these cards are going down. I want to talk about why the market is crashing, what's caused it and is it going to continue because I honestly think with this Winter Wild Cards promo being so good with so much content rolling out every single day, so many things you can go and do whether you're doing daily players, PCs, right? We've got icons that are now in packs with prime icons. We've got the, of course, the swaps objectives for Winter Wild Cards swaps or if you're just using any of these insane cards that are out as the promo team, there's just a lot to do and a ton of great content right now in this game and that is definitely aiding in this market crashing at the moment. I want to take a look at today on Sunday with potential cards that we might, are they going to do a mini-release? Are they not? We don't really know. There's a couple cards that we thought were going to be dropped like Maudridge, Jonathan David, those cards are not out so there's potential for a mini-release since this is a two-week promo and mini-releases have happened on Sundays before. I want to talk about prime icons again that have been added into packs, the daily SPC player that is leaked for today and also the base mid-pack is expiring today and I would be very, very surprised if they did not release another icon upgrade pack today on Sunday. That seems to be like a Sunday type thing to do. So we're going to talk about all of that stuff in today's video but first let's take a look at this market crash right because again we've talked about this promo, how it's been such good content for all parts of the game. Whether you like to grind gameplay, you're running icon swaps, you're running the winter wild card swaps through objectives and SPCs and getting those tokens and stacking those up for the rewards that will be coming out soon. I mean if you do like SPCs, I mean we had the Sau SPC yesterday, 4,000 upvotes, right? This card looks absolutely cracked. I know it's kind of hard to link him but for these kind of stats on a card like this, 95,000 coins is ridiculous. That is two days straight of really good value SPCs with Zaha and now Jabril Sau as a midfielder in the Bundesliga, right? We talked about him, Babu in yesterday's video is that hey if this Sau SPC is really good value just like Zaha and Cornet, the links to Zaha, he's going to go up, right? And that's exactly what happens and Babu card absolutely banged. So I think what you're really going to start to see is over this next week people are going to start to invest in cards that link to these leaked SPC players because they're just going up in price because EA is doing everything in their power right now to kind of crash this market further with how they're running this promo. They're putting out insane SPCs that are making people sell cards to go do SPCs and that is in turn dropping their coin totals on this game and that's why this market really is crashing and that's why we're seeing these price drops in the here and now. Take a look at Mbappe, right? Again, literally just 12 days ago Mbappe was 1.39 million coins, just like literally a week and a half ago. Now this card especially in the last week has dropped from 1.3 mil down to 1.1, dipping under 1.1, 740 on the Xbox. He's gone from 1.02 mil on the Xbox down to 740k. So really, really big drops. Now again, why is this happening, right? It's mostly happening on like the meta gold cards, right? If you take a look at like Gold Christian Ronaldo, 530,000 coins. Gold Conte is 200k. Gold Messi is 320,000 coins. He was 460k just a couple weeks ago, right? Most of this market is what's headed down but there's a lot of out of packs cards and just the whole market is really struggling to keep up in price at the moment because all of these brand new items are coming out and people are selling what they used to use to try out these brand new cards and also do a lot of the SBCs that are coming out as well, right? Take a look at like Ruben Diaz. He was 350k. He's now 270. Llorente was like 650. He's now 560. Ronaldo Sanchez was 900,000 coins. He's now 700k. To go along with some of these gold card drops, it's a lot of the out of pack specials as well. This whole market is just being devalued in terms of coins because of all the insane SBCs that have kind of come out since Black Friday, right? We've had the base mid-pack. We've had loads of player SBCs especially this week with the promise of more and that is just draining all the coins out of this market in a market that was very inflated, right? A market that was very inflated because people opened packs during Black Friday and they got a lot of coins. They put a lot of coins on in this game and now we're seeing the other side of that effect which happens almost every single year in December. Last year the team of the group stage promo really sparked a market crash around icon swaps time again. Now this year we have the icon swaps which is pulling people away from their normal grind of rivals and week in league and week in league qualification with their main team and it's pulling them towards objectives where they can get icons and packs and icon upgrade packs, right? So that's pulling some of that gameplay demand away from people building their main squads and doing objectives which is making prices drop on the market as well alongside with everything that is insane about this Winter Wild Cards promo. I honestly think that these prices, they're going to keep dropping, right? You've seen a lot of prices drop on the market and I think it's going to continue. I do think that it is because as of right now people are still talking about what is to come with the team two of the Winter Wild Cards promo. There's leaks even started to circulate about how insane like the second week of this promo is going to be like during Christmas, right? So with that kind of hanging out there and a lot of people, you know, seeing the daily SBCs and seeing the Winter Wild Cards swaps at the moment, I mean people are just in the mood to try new cards because these brand new Winter Wild Cards items that are coming out as well, they're literally upping the power curve because these cards are so good. They have insane upgrades, skill move, weak foot. The pack weight is very high on them so they're cheap and that's really changing this game a lot. It really is and that's why you've really seen this market crash is because there's big time new alternative items that are on the game that people want to go out and use instead of the cards that they have been using for such a long time in this game already, like some of the gold cards that we were talking about. So that's really why you're seeing this market crash. Now again, a guy like Mbappe, he if you take a look at his price right now, he's 1.1 million coins dipping under 1.1 mil. That's a big undercut right there. If we take a look at his price from last year, how far did he drop off last year? How much can we realistically expect him to drop this year if we kind of base it off of last year, which is not the perfect picture, right? But it should give us some sort of general idea. Last year Mbappe was about again, or this year he's 1.38, he's dropped down about 300,000 coins, right? Last year Mbappe was also 1.3, 1.4 million in early December and he dropped all the way down to 855k right before Saturday at the start of Team of the Year, right? So he literally dropped for a whole month in price going down every single week down into the under 900,000 coin range. Now Mbappe this year in my opinion, his card is more OP and more popular and well known and used even than last year's Mbappe card. If I'm being completely honest, this card was of course a beast last year, but I think Neymar this year is like the best gold card in the game. And some people say this is the best card in the game regardless. So, you know, Mbappe this year probably is not going to go to the 800,000 coins that he did. I mean, I definitely though could see Mbappe pre-Team of the year sometime in the next two to three to four weeks going down under a million coins. I really think that he can go under a million coins on PlayStation. I think another 10% drop on a lot of these meta cards on the market is absolutely possible. I mean you think about the increased pack weight that we have had on these cards this year as well and how the whole market generally Conte like last year would have been 500K or 400,000 coins at this point basically and he's 200K flat going down 150K. This card's almost halved in price since Black Friday. Almost halved in price since Black Friday. It's absolutely crazy. And you know, this is even after he had the flashback SBC, which so many people did and still use in their teams. I just think that with the supply this year on the market as well, these cards getting packed so more heavily than they haven't ever in years past. I do think they are going to see this market continue to fall out of packs cards and the impacts gold cards. So that's just kind of an outlook for you guys. Now some items are going to have fluctuations because if there are live cards like these numbers up items or you know, road to the knockouts, which technically should not be, they're not rising anymore based off of upgrades, right? Because these cards are not getting upgraded anymore. But some of these cards are even stupid expensive. Like finally, Frankie DeYoung is getting down to a price where he belongs 515K after still being way too expensive. These cards are not upgrading anymore. I saw these cards move when they released the draw for the knockout rounds a couple weeks ago, like Rodrigo went up in price after Real Madrid's initial draw and then on the redraw he went down. These cards are not affected anymore, right? These are literally just informed items, basically no more upgrades to these cards. They've gotten all their upgrades. So, but again, in general, I do think you're going to see the market continue to drop over the next two to three to four weeks until we get to that team of the year timeframe, which is again like Black Friday where people expect the market to pick up afterwards. So, as we head through this week and with the Winter Wild Cards promo, especially today on Sunday, right? Let's talk a little bit about today on Sunday. If we have another base mid icon, SBC today, I really just think that that's going to drop the market even further. You're going to see people selling cards to go out and do this SBC, because right now, SBC fodder is low. SBC fodder is still very, very cheap. If we take a look at some of the prices, 86s are still like 11,000, 12,000 coins, 88s are like six and a half, or sorry, not 88s, 85s are six and a half K, 88s are 23,000 coins a piece. If they re-release this SBC, it's going to be only 360,000 coins to do again. This could drop the market like it did last week, because that's a pretty affordable SBC and they're still releasing daily, literally daily player SBCs. We have Zaha and now Sao. Now supposedly today's SBC on Sunday is going to be this guy, Mr. Pandev, a striker in the Serie A, does not have the best links. Kind of a similar scenario to like Jabril Sao from yesterday, but like look at this card, right? Supposedly he's four star, four star. Now again, these are league stats. These are not confirmed. These stats could be incorrect, but so far the leaks for the players themselves have been spot on. So I would imagine this SBC is very cheap and that looks like a pretty interesting card. So if that's like less than honestly like 75,000 coins, that's going to be a card that some people just go on and do because it looks cracked. So if we continue to have content like this, the good value stuff, that's just going to pull this market down even lower. So that's kind of how I feel about the market at this stage. Now I feel like if you have a team, I don't necessarily think you have to panic sell everything. Like some cards like Akimi, if you bought Akimi last week for like 30,000 coins, you know, literally this past week 30,000 coins, now he's 23K. Like at what price do you say, okay, I'm just going to leave that in my team and not worry about it anymore because I can go out and make 20 or 30,000 coins trading in the next couple of days if I put my mind to it and, you know, make up that loss, you know, if you think of it that way. So I think the biggest drop offs that you could continue to see in the next two to three weeks would still be on your out of pack special cards. We're really watching the freeze ice or the versus ice cards because these guys are going to have that big compensation supply that it's going to come in. It has not dropped yet, but that's going to be soon. And once that happens, those prices I think are going to drop a decent amount. These versus fire cards are still pretty popular. Their prices are still up. But you know, Valverde 714 that is down. I think you're going to see these cards, Kunde 266 that is down. I think you still will see these kind of slide down with the rest of the market. So I guess that's just a bit of a warning. I think the market is going to drop down a little bit further next couple of weeks. So whatever that means for you, do you feel like you need to sell cards? Or if you just don't care and you want to hold them because the cards are so cheap already, that's kind of like a personal decision. But that's just kind of my mindset and how I expect things to go over the next couple of weeks in this game since we are in an SBC based and SBC focused promo at the moment. Now speaking of Winter Wild Cards, again, today on Sunday, let's talk a little bit more. We mentioned the icon upgrade SBC that could potentially be coming. There were a few cards that were leaked, right? Mulderich, Jonathan David, those were two of the big names that were a part of the initial promo drop that we did not see. Now, of course, these guys do not have cards right now at the moment for this promo, but we will be potentially seeing a mini release today. It's not guaranteed. It's not confirmed by any means. But if they were going to release a Mulderich, Jonathan David, or there's like one other card, I think they have not released yet, then it would probably be today unless those cards are not actually going to come out at all. So keep an eye out for a mini release. Again, today also keep out for that icon upgrade SBC and the pandev SBC. It's a combination of all of those things right now that make this market very interesting. Now, tonight, I'm looking at a few of these cards again. Last night, these Winter Wild Cards, they exploded, right? Pogba went from 1.55 mil all the way up to 1.7. Right now, he is chilling in the low 1.3s. 1.348 is what this Pogba was. You know, these cards are very interesting to look at because they have a very high pack weight and a lot of the cheap ones are very cheap. But also, you have a lot of cards in here that are very meta that so many people want to go out and try for their squads and try for their team. So like this Pogba dropping off as much as he's dropped off. I mean, it's kind of crazy to me that he's sitting here at 1.35. If I could snag one of these like close to 1.3, I might try to flip it into tomorrow on Sunday because or today on Sunday because that's just, that's a really low price. Fabinho yesterday went from 500,000 coins all the way up to like 600, almost 700,000 coins. I believe right now he is again in that low 500 range. We've got squad battle rewards today, which I do think is going to bring some supply to the market. So I'd be very careful if you're trying to trade with these cards, you're going to have a bit of supply through squad battles because a lot of people did play that game mode this last week with the icon swap objectives out there. So there's going to be a little bit extra supply than normal in my opinion on some of these cards. But again, you think about a guy like Paul Pogba. I mean, how many people are actually going to pack a Paul Pogba from squad battle rewards, right? Probably not that many. So that's why we're keeping a close eye on a few of these cards for a potential rise into today on Sunday. And they're they're just that popular that the people want to try them out and people want to put them into their team. So we're going to keep an eye on that. Also, we had some the first batch technically the first batch of the prime icons added to the game. Now I've been watching a few of these prices that haven't bought any or sold any. But as you can see, these guys move a ton, right? Stoich cob was 2 million coins. Now it's got a bid at 1.5. This Baggio, right? You have a million coins open bid there. I saw him so for 1.1. So trading with these cards right now, like, man, Javi 1.28. I thought that was pretty cheap. I thought that this Balak at like 1.35, I feel like this is even kind of cheap for a day one price. These cards are going to be, you know, kind of crazy fluctuators on the market since they're very, very rare. Rooney, I watched Rooney sell at 2.5 mil right now. He's sitting at 2 mil. These cards are going to be very expensive early on. I do think they're going to drop off more, you know, as their impacts longer as they get supplied some more. But that does not mean that if you want to take some risk and trade with a few of these cards, you're going to be able to make some good flips on them. You really are going to be able to flip them and make profits because they're just very rare and people want to get their hands on them and try them out, right? This Roberto Carlos selling at 2.35 mil for the prime Carlos card. This is a Don selling at 11.4 mil for his new prime item. So again, if you did not see it, it's on a loading screen right now too. But these are some of the icons right now that have primes out and available in the game. It's definitely not every single one. As you can see, it says it's batch one, right? We don't have Ronaldinho in here. We don't have Rude Hullet. We don't have Maradona. So there's definitely some cards in here that are not included as prime icons that will drop later on. But if you're on like companion app and the web app as well, I believe you can't search for them. So what I've been doing is going icons, chemistry style, basic, minimum by now like 400,000 coins. So if you're having trouble like searching these from your app, since there's a lot of lightning rounds and a lot of people are packing these icons for the first time, you can search them under the basic filter. And you can see here, right, we have an Essian 3.4 mil for Essian. Nah, he's actually 2.8, right? Or Eusebio. Eusebio prime 9.5 million coins. Over Mars prime 650k. He's an icon swap. So that's kind of interesting. Rui cost us prime card, bird camps prime card. So if you're having some issues searching for these items, Maldini 6 mil, 5.9. Wow, that's kind of crazy. Zambrata. So that's kind of how you can do that. But these cards, honestly, if you want to risk it, it's a big time risk with these, since they're very rare. But people are probably going to wake up today on Sunday and try a few of these cards out, right? That's why I'm at least tempted to maybe try to flip one of these as, you know, there is going to be some lightning rounds, most likely, but you'll probably, if you find the right card and you find the ones that are the most hyped, the ones that are the most popular that people want to try out, like this Javi card looks so much better than his other versions. So this one's sitting here at like 1.32. If somebody were listening at 1.2 mil, I'm pretty sure I've seen Javi sell at 1.28. I would get very interested, you know, at like a 1.2 mil on that card. Stoichkopf, I believe, he's like a bit at 1.5, 1.9 flat on that listing. So if I saw like a 1.6 on Stoichkopf, I'd get interested. You know, it's all about finding an undercut on somebody who packs a card and is like, man, how much is this worth right now on the market? How much can I undercut to actually get the sale? So that's kind of influencing icons a lot. The market's moving a lot on those. But if you're not really wanting to get really risky, just be careful with that. Now some of your baby icons did rise up. I think some of these rises on these base icons, though, were a bit premature. I do think they're a bit premature because some people just saw that the cards went out of packs. So they literally just went to the market and bought some of those icons right away. And I just don't think that's a smart move because there's a lot of stuff to happen on the market still like this week and to next week before I would really, you know, say, okay, maybe it's a good time to buy some base icons for your team. I really don't think that's going to be a specific buy time on those cards until we get more towards the team of the year timeframe, which we are still about a month away from team of the year. It seems right. So that's kind of my thoughts and my opinion on the base icons at the moment that have gone out of packs. So just some added thoughts in there. But yeah, today's going to be a very interesting Sunday. These Winter Wild card items, whether we get a mini release today or not, since there is continual insane SPC content planned for later on this week, I would be very careful with these cards. I would not be holding them long term. If you're going to try to flip, try to trade with any of these items, make sure it's a quick flip, make sure it's a short trade. And if you have any of them in your team for this weekend as well, make sure you're not holding on to them for too long, because I do think that these cards, since they do have a high pack weight, they're going to get packed throughout this week. We're going to have more SPCs and stuff like that. And it sounds like we're going to have an insane team two of this promo as well. So I would just be very careful holding on to these cards, especially since they're so early into their time being in packs. I feel like there's more supply coming later on this week in this game. So that's kind of the video for today, boys. Again, I know we talked about like the market, the market crash and stuff at the beginning. It's a legit market crash. It just hasn't got the publicity of a legit market crash right away, because the crash wasn't like an insane one day drop. It's kind of just been the past couple of days, stuff has really started to down drop down in price, just due to people focusing on other areas than just their team. And there's icon swaps and all the other avenues of gameplay and things in this game right now that can take your attention. People are focusing on that sort of stuff, and not necessarily buying the best team possible that they could buy for a weekend league type of thing. Wow, this Campbell was 700k and now he's listed at one mil, right? Crazy. That's how these icons fluctuate. They go up and down crazy amounts in price, and that can create potential for some big time flips. So I do think the market's going to continue to drop down, though I really do think that it will. And that's just honestly, because a lot of people are excited about all these SBCs that are coming out and the content is so good on this game. And if people are losing coins, they got to sell some cards to go get involved with SBC. So that's my thoughts on the current market. I'm hoping we get a mini release today. I want to see that Marjorich. I really do. And hopefully the Panda at SBC. And I do think that we might get another icon upgrade today. So keep an eye out for that. That could be a big day of Sunday content if you have a 22. So if you enjoyed this video, smash thumbs up on it, comment down below if you have any questions, and subscribe if you're new. It's been Nathan with Accountant. I'll catch you guys later. Peace.
