 Hey guys, it's Nate, AKA The Foot Accountant. Welcome back to the channel. I wanna talk to you guys through some things that just happened to FIFA Ultimate Team. That is the headliner upgrades. We got our first headliner upgrades with the consecutive wins in a row on FIFA Ultimate Teams. We wanna take you guys through this really quick and talk about it because it just happened not too long ago. Just happened overnight for a lot of you guys in the UK. And I wanna talk about this and how it all went down so that we know for next time, of course, when more cards get there for in a row and talk about this timeline of events as well. So first things first, just a little bit ago, when I realized that something might be happening, Footwatch, at Footwatch on Twitter, they have access to the code so they see like new packs that are out of the game, new card designs and new SBC code. This new card design was released into the game at like 2 AM UK-ish just a few minutes ago, which is basically the headliner's card design with up at the very top, if you can see it over there right here, I can just highlight it instead of trying to point up in the air. Yeah, I'll just do that right there. This thing right here is like the meter that they showed for consecutive wins in a row and they have got that four wins in a row, Liverpool has, so the Wynaldum and the Salah got upgraded tonight. Now I wanna take a look at something else as well and that is one of my tweets from earlier today. The Salah card and the Wynaldum card, I can show you guys these cards right over here right now. But I tweeted out earlier today, talking about these cards and their inability for EA to upgrade them in the correct timeframe. Supposedly these cards were supposed to get upgraded within 48 hours of their fourth consecutive win. They did not in fact get upgraded in that timeframe. It actually was somewhere around like 50, 52 hours instead of it actually being, actually it was more than that, 54 hours instead of 48. So EA was late on that one. But now it makes sense, we've got the card design and the code, the upgrades are here, all right, whatever it is. And I wanna look at the upgrades really quick and actually look and see how much they upgraded these cards. So as you can see, Salah's 97 pace, 91 shot, 90 passing, 93 dribbling, 50 defense and 80 physical. If we go over here to my tweet from earlier today with the old stats, we got plus one pace, plus one shooting, plus two passing, plus one dribble, plus two defense and plus one physical. And Wynaldum got the exact same upgrade. So Salah's going from 93 to 94, Wynaldum's going from an 87 to an 88. He got the exact same upgrade in all of the same stat categories. So we got plus one everywhere, except for plus two passing and plus two defense. But you would think that the upgrades might be a little bit different because Salah is a attacking right wing, right mid player. And Wynaldum is box to box or holding midfielder, but that's not the case. They did the upgrades the exact same. And that kind of makes me curious, are they gonna do that in the future as well when they upgrade these cards more? Are they gonna basically use the exact same upgrades in the future as well? I doubt they will, but that's just kind of the way that they chose this time to do things. So Salah right now is chilling at just under 2.1 mil where he kind of has been. He hasn't really moved that much. He hasn't really gone up, he hasn't really gone down. And again, I think part of that is just having market knowledge right now. And me seeing this card here, this card with the 2.051 mil bid has been here for over an hour and a half. So if somebody listed at three hours and somebody bid it up to 2.051, so I have not seen a card listed lower than that because that's kind of holding his price up at the moment. His card just got upgraded. A lot of you guys in the UK that watched this video are asleep when the upgrade time actually happened. And so I'm not seeing a lot of panic selling and not seeing, I'm not seeing people list this card up because they're done with it by any means. There's just not a lot of people on the game at this time to see this upgrade and to react. But what is gonna happen with these guys' prices? First of all, I think Wynallum is overpriced in my opinion. I'm gonna have to go check his price right now on the market because he is gonna be harder to compare price on based on what I had on my transfer target. So let's go check Wynallum's price. He was like, you know, 670, 680 right when the upgrade dropped and now he's dropping just a smidge. Like 660,000 coins at the moment. I would expect this card to continue to drop because it got the plus one upgrade, right? I think a lot of this card's price and a lot of the reason why he's already 600K is because he had that plus four, the wins, the plus one for getting the four wins in a row. He had that upgrade built into his price already. And I talked about this when these cards first came out into packs is that I thought these cards were going to get lower after they got their four consecutive wins and after the upgrade actually came out, which I think that's gonna be the case with Wynallum. 660K, I wouldn't be surprised if this card drops down to somewhere around like the 600K range. That would be kind of my fearless forecast for that card. I do think it's possible that those go price range. The card kind of goes back down to 600K-ish because he doesn't get his informs as often as some of these other guys do since he's like a holding midfielder. He does have a special, couple other specials from this year, but it's just not as common as a guy like Salah, right? So somebody bought that Wynallum for 671, which is interesting because he has ones at 660, but it is what it is. Salah's price is different to me, man, because this is arguably one of the best or the best. This is the best right wing, except for Bernardo Silva's SBC card. This is the best right wing in the prem, and I would venture to say that, you know, this is probably better than Bernardo's card, just in like a statistical way with the pace, with the shooting probably, the pace for sure. But it's Salah, right? And he's one of the best wingers in the prem. This is basically the best right wing and I think it's gonna remain expensive because of that. Now he does have the potential to get into this week's team of the week as well. That's gonna keep this card's price inflated. I don't see Salah dropping because he's such a premier player in this game. He is the top of the line, Premier League right wing, right mid in this game. And he's still a live item and he's got that possibility for an inform this week. So if you have Salah or you want to get him, let's talk about this. Salah right now is 2.05. He was 1.8 or something earlier this week because people kind of had forgotten about this during the Future Stars Madness earlier on Friday. And he's supposed to get in team of the week or he could be getting into team of the week. What does that mean for this card? I think it's gonna stay high. I actually do think if he doesn't get in team of the week, that would be like the best time to maybe get back in on this card if you wanted for your team. Obviously cards like this could drop if a mid icon SBC comes, but right now in everything that we do, we're just kind of assuming that there's a little bit of risk for that SBC coming in the future. But if you want to Salah, I do think his price is gonna rise up a little bit and you might be crazy. It's like, Nate, why is his price gonna rise up? He's already really, really expensive. I just think he's the best one out there and I don't feel like there's gonna be a lot of people that would panic sell this card after he gets a plus one. Would he go back under two million coins if he doesn't get in team of the week? I think it's possible. I do think some people bought this card up because they wanted to try to maybe trade with it a little bit or buy one and try to flip it after he gets a team of the week because a lot of people saw this card as a 93 this weekend with the potential to be a 95 come Wednesday with team of the week. So if that does happen, I think he'll go up. He probably could go up to like 2.5 million coins, 2.4, 2.5 somewhere in there. But that's a risk that if you don't think he's gonna get into the team of the week, you probably should not take if you bought this card for an investment. But if you bought this card first week, man, this card was 1.2, 1.3 million coins and like when the lighting rounds came out there were more headliners. So some of these cards have exploded a ton for more than a first word. So that's the move on the upgrades. Those are my opinions on those upgrades for the new headliner cards. Now we do have a few headliners that are getting kinda close to winning three games in a row and you can see it in their prices too, man. This is kinda what I was talking about. Like Lewandowski, I think they've got three wins in a row. I think Porto is a couple wins in a row and I'm not entirely sure. There's some good graphics out there on Twitter. I haven't found any in myself yet but there are some graphics out there on Twitter that kinda tell you where players are at in terms of their wins. I think Orsic they've got a win or two in a row. Actually Dortmund have got three wins in a row as well. So Delaney is up a decent amount. I think Royce is up a decent amount as well. That is just due to the fact that they could be getting upgraded here really, really soon. So watch out for some of these upgrades. There's more league games coming this weekend. So that's gonna be something to keep our eyes on to keep a watch out for because we do know that these cards will get upgraded now. Supposedly they were supposed to have some sort of like a shine. I thought these cards were supposed to have some kind of like a shine around them or like a glow but I'm not really seeing much of a glow man because you can kinda see like the normal glare on the card, right? For Rodrigo, you can kinda see that going through his stats. It's the same thing on these guys' cards. So I don't see much of a glow on these cards in my opinion. It looks kinda the same to me. Maybe I need to go add another headliner to my transfer targets that might not have the upgrade yet. So like let's go look at Royce. Maybe if I add these two cards back to back then you'll be able to see that these cards are different. Let me find a Royce really quick and see if that is the case. Let me add that to my transfer targets. Back out and then compare these cards side by side. Is there a difference between Royce and Sala? I don't see one at all. These guys literally look the same. So I don't know what EA and FAQs were talking about. These cards getting like a blur image around them or whatever it was gonna be called but I don't really see it right now at the moment but the main thing is they get upgraded a little bit late but it is what it is. So GGs, DEA, there's those. I would expect more in the future. Now I wanna talk about, take a moment here and talk about the SBCs that we got today as well. We got 81 plus double upgrade packs and 83 plus guarantee upgrade packs in today's game as well that was the content for today. That was basically all that they dropped. It just wasn't a ton of content on Monday which is, I think we got upgrade SBCs either on Monday or Tuesday last week during headliners. So it looks like they're kinda copying, pasting the same upgrade SBC schedule and I think also what we can learn from these SBCs is last week the upgrade SBCs came out and they expired on Tuesday and that got a lot of us thinking we're like, hey, this might be the day that this promo stops when the promo is ending for headliners and that ended up being correct and these cards again, or these SBCs again are said to expire 6 p.m. UK on Tuesday of next week. So my guess is that this Tuesday, 6 p.m. UK a week from today basically is when we will see the end of the Future Stars promo. So it looks like it's another one of those like week and a half promo type things. I don't know why EA thinks that this is like the best way to do the promos instead of doing like two full weeks or just kind of cramming it into one week for whatever reason they are going to, it looks like to me, do a full week for week one and then kind of like a half a week for week two. So again, a lot of these Future Stars cards have dropped off a bit in price if we take a look at these on foot bin. A lot of these guys have dropped off and that's just due to the end of the week in league not as much demand for them and people, I think people really aren't focused on these cards that much. Maybe they tried them over the weekend. They did that. But then on Friday, we also got all these new objectives to go out and do. So people are grinding the icon swaps. People are grinding the odegaard objective. So I think that's partially part of the reason why these cards have dropped in price. And you know, I mean, these are good cards, right? But I think that people are waiting for that second set as well to possibly be a pretty big set. And that's why you're seeing their prices not really hold that much at the moment. The only one that's really holding well is Kabak because there's not very many center backs in the Bundesliga. This is gonna be a very interesting card to watch throughout the weeks after this promo. Kind of similar to the Scream, St. Jude's Day because that card has stayed high in price and you can tell it fluctuates a lot because there's a lot of demand for special Bundesliga center backs. We don't have a lot of them in this game. But again, if you're somebody who wants to buy one of these cards this week for your team, I might advise you to wait until they actually go out of packs. We see what the second set is. The buy time for these guys might be actually like a Saturday night or Sunday timeframe of next week when the next set of cards is in. We'll just see what happens. See what the second set looks like and watch these card prices over rewards. If they put out more SBCs this week, they put out tradeable packs. That would be bringing supply for these cards onto the game and could drop their prices. So I would just keep an eye on these cards. Any one of them, man. I mean, I bought Martinelli for 650K and sold them for 720K earlier this weekend. I think he was actually lower towards 500K earlier today and he's kind of bounced back up a little bit. But a lot of these cards are low and I would just kind of continue to monitor them throughout the week this week. Now I want to talk about the upgrade SBCs again, just really quick here at the end. Give me a little bit of a shorter vid today. Not as much content from EA, so not as much to talk about. But these SBCs right here and a lot of people are asking me, what should I do with these? If I want to grind these SBCs, how do I grind them? Well, it just kind of depends on how much work and how much time you can put in and your coin amount. You could technically take these SBCs right here and get to these by doing the bronze pack method, grinding the bronze packs, selling the stuff that sells for bronze pack method and opening a bunch of those. Maybe opening like, I don't know, 20, 30, 40,000 coins worth of bronze pack method packs, selling what sells and then chucking everything else in the club, rinsing those non-rare bronzes that don't sell, rinsing those into the silver upgrades or bronze upgrade right here. You get two silver players packs. Some of these guys that are in this Future Stars team, actually a decent amount of them, have silver base cards. That means you could pack them from the silver, the bronze upgrade, two silver players packs. Since their base card is a silver, that means you could pack them from that silver pack. So from there, you upgrade those. All your silver players that are untradeable, you chuck them into the silver upgrade, you get three common rare golds and you can chuck those common rare golds into the gold upgrade, I think, which gives you two rare gold players because this SBC right here requires 11 rares, right? So it's kind of hard to grind this from, yeah, you need 11 rares. It's kind of hard to grind this from all the way from the bottom up to start with the bronze packs, but it is possible. If you wanna open bronze packs and put those extras into the bronze upgrades to get the silver packs, you could find yourself having a chance at packing a Future Star because some of these base cards are silvers. That's not the most efficient way or time-savvy way to do it. If you have a lot of coins, I would just go by the rares. I don't think that rare players are really inflated that much for these SBCs. They were inflated during Team of the Year, but that's just a totally different story. Team of the Year cards are just a totally different ballgame compared to these. So let me check and see if Premier League rares, are they still basically this card? It looks like Premier League rares are still like 750 coins from what I'm seeing because these cards are still here at 750 with no bids on them. So it looks like you can get rares for pretty cheap. Another way we could check is doing this right here. See if they have any bids on them. Yeah, these guys, 650 bids. I'm actually gonna chuck a few of these in the club right now, just a club stock. And I'm gonna be doing some of these. SBCs myself, so I'm gonna chuck these to someone at Discard, man, 650 coins, not 650K. 650 coins is what you can get these cards for right now in bid. So they're basically just almost Discard, easy to get. Chuck them in your club, do a couple SBCs if you want. That's gonna be my plan. And then what you can do from there is then you have the option to possibly do SBCs cheaper from the squad building challenge section. If you're grinding these upgrade packs, this is what I would do. However you're getting these packs, if you're opening the 81 plus double upgrade, with the players that are 81 and 82 rated, the 81s you maybe can throw back into the 81 plus to continue to report rares in that SBC, but the 82s and maybe a couple 81s, throw into this 83 plus. That's what I would throw a few of those into this 83 plus. I know it's only one player, but you're getting a chance at an 83 plus rated player which is gonna help you out for a lot of other SBCs. All it takes is for you to get an 86 or an 87 out of that 83 plus. And you're well on your way to one of the SBCs for like an Alfonso Davies, right? Because I think this card, a lot of people are gonna end up doing this SBC. It'll be one of the first that they try to craft from doing these upgrade packs. So that's one of my thoughts on that because how long is that SBC out for? How long is that SBC out for? It is out for one day, 15 hours. So not a terrible long time, but it's out for a while. And then people will be crafting like this Western McKinney. People will probably craft him, but then play the months as well. Werner, Alexander Arnold, and then Ben Yetter. I think a lot of people will kind of, they're kind of chipping their way, chipping their way away at Ben Yetter's SBC, trying to get him done at some point here pretty soon as well. So that's what I would say. If you had the 82s, I would chuck the 82s into this SBC to get yourself a guaranteed 83 plus. Hopefully get a walk out from that pack. But I'm gonna be grinding some of these 81 plus packs on the streams and stuff like that this week as we do. I'm gonna try to get a Future Stars card, man, because last year I packed Vinicius and I would so love to pack Rodrigo this game. Kind of like, he's kind of like the Vinicius this year, right, Rodrigo's card. So if we get ourselves a Future Star Rodrigo, that'd be nasty. I would honestly rather have like, I don't know who I'd have, man. Maybe Mason Mount. That'd be a sweet card to have. Tonali as well. Aaron's would fit my team. You know, any Future Stars card, other than like Diabi. Other than Diabi would like fit the squad really good. So I'm gonna take my chance at a few of these SBCs, not spend a ton of coins on them because you know, you can waste a lot of coins on SBCs and my squad is, can't see it. That's my backup squad. But the squad's looking okay. So those are my thoughts for today's upgrades with these new, the headliner plus four upgrades or plus one upgrades for four games in a row. And then also talking about the new SBCs today. I do expect another player SBC today on Tuesday. I would expect a flashback or another Future Stars SBC. That's kind of what I would expect from EA Sports today in terms of content. So I'm glad that we club stocked really quick. I'm glad we club stocked these high rated golds on Saturday night, right? Because these guys are inflated now. The 86s are at 16K, the 85s are at 10. So these guys are all up a little bit. So I'm glad that we stocked earlier and took the safe route there. So GGs, if you guys did that, I would still keep holding onto those. I'm not going to be selling those just yet. I think we have more SBCs to come into this weekend. So if we did a club stock on anything higher rated, hold onto those and don't sell them just yet. Monitor their prices over the next couple of days and we'll see what other content comes out in this game of FIFA 20 Ultimate Team. If you enjoyed the video today, smash thumbs up on it.
