 Hey guys, it's Nate, AKA The Foot Accountant. Welcome back to the channel. We are gonna tackle a question today that I know a number of you guys have been asking and wanting to know when is the best time to buy Foot Birthday Team 1 cards? Should we be investing in these cards as they are going out of packs tomorrow on Friday? I wanna take a look at the Foot Birthday cards as they dropped yesterday a lot in price because we had lightning rounds. Yes, we had lightning rounds on a Wednesday, which we did talk about the potential of that happening in last night's video, and it did, EA are just going all out with the lightning rounds this week, with the pack supply, they're dropping so many, it's really an emphasis on the cards in packs, right? You also see that by the lack of really hype SBC content. The cards in packs are what they want people to focus on and that's why they're running constant lightning rounds. They're even running lightning rounds right now in the late night times, almost like 2 a.m. UK time at the moment when I'm recording this video and they are running 86 plus star pack lightning rounds. I'm pretty sure if I go in here in the store and look, browse, promo packs, and yeah, we have the 86 plus packs right now. They're probably gonna sell out over the hour right now, even though it's crazy late at night, they didn't drop that many of them and people love those packs. So with those lightning rounds yesterday and with division rivals rewards today with marquee matchup supply hitting the market, I think there is potential for some of these Foot Birthday cards to drop maybe a little bit more and for us to see a bit of a buy window on these cards today or tomorrow. It might be better off waiting until tomorrow to buy some of these and we'll talk about that in today's video as well. Of course, we have to talk about all the crazy, crazy market movements with these road to the final cards after the insane game yesterday between PSG and Real Madrid. You can see I had some bales that I sold before the game right selling into the hype. Then I also had two bales that I saved for after the game just to see whatever happened and of course, Real Madrid had the crazy win. I mean, look at the prices here that I ended up selling Campembe at. 1.58 million coins and 1.56. And now I'm buying Campembe's tonight for 675K. His card has literally dropped more than 50% in price. It's unbelievable to see the prices that we see on the market right now. I love road to the final cards. You can't convince me otherwise. They are the most fun cards to trade with and the most fun cards in this game. I mean, they really are. So we're gonna talk about that part of the market today as well as Thursday content and what we would expect to see on this game today. We don't have a lot of information about foot birthday team too yet. I was expecting more leaks yesterday, to be completely honest, but we will cover the current leaks and situations that we have regarding maybe a promo after foot birthday with some hero moments cards being talked about a little bit right now too. So we'll talk about that as a part of this video. But first, if you do enjoy the videos on the channel, make sure to hit thumbs up and subscribe if you're new. But let's talk foot birthday team number one. Again, with the lightning rounds that we saw yesterday, it's brought supply to the market and that has dropped these cards. Take a look at Odegrad, right? He was 600K when all the way down to 530, rose back up a little bit to about 550 and now he's down to 530 again as they're running these late night lightning rounds. Again, as I mentioned with division rivals supply today and you have the marquee matchups. Honestly, I don't expect to see these cards rise a lot after division rivals rewards. I'm personally not gonna be buying any of these cards. Now the only ones that maybe would be some when you might wanna buy one or two of and stock in your club, I think this Dooku card for 16,000 coins is ridiculously cheap. Five star, weak foot, four star skills with the pace that he has, the body type that he has, five foot seven with a lot of pace, really high agility balance. I just think that this is a card that a lot of people who are gonna run cheap teams are going to wanna use. I know he doesn't have the best links but it's just a really cheap card for a league that doesn't have a ton of right mids, right wings on a really cheap basis that are new and exciting and fresh. I think that card is a pretty good buy throughout this whole weekend. The next couple days before these cards go out of packs I think that's one of my number one buys and I feel like almost anybody can afford it, right? Just buy one of those, put it in a transfer list. He might be 25K in two weeks. That sort of thing could happen with a card like that on this game. But looking at the rest of this team, again, Guerrero. I think there's a lot of potential cards in here that could rise. Nuno Mendes, right? 390,000 coins, a PSG left-back links. A card, we haven't had a PSG left-back special card that has been this usable for the whole entire year. And right, this guy's got the five star skills. Very hyped item. I know that we have a Teo Hernandez in the brand new team of the week. I think that's a card that will rise out of packs. I think Allen is a card that will rise out of packs. He's got the five star week foot, really, really good stats. People love this dude in game. I honestly think that there's a high potential that these cards will hit a low point in the next day or two and then they will rise out of packs. So the question of should we invest, it's not a bad idea because these full birthday cards with the five star week foot and the five star skills boost that these cards have, that's automatic hype because that's something that a lot of other cards don't have in this game and other previous special versions of these cards don't have. Jack Grealish, 100,000 coins. That's kind of crazy to me, right? The other, the only other Grealish card is the ones to watch which is nowhere near this item with 90 paced, 76 physical and the five star week foot. Not saying this card is like insane or anything but for 100,000 coins, I think this is gonna go up out of packs. Now let's talk about buy time, right? I think that today on Thursday with marquee matchups could be a decent buy time for these cards. Even as you're looking at these right now and you're like, man, Nate, Odegard, 500K. Odegard is one that I think would be a really good investment as well but I think a lot of people are gonna want to look at this Odegard item and want to buy him up because he looks really, really cracked and there's so many people excited about this card in this game right now. I mean, honestly, if you see like 500K for this, I think that's a good shot. I don't know if he's gonna get down to 500K or if he's gonna stay in this 520,000 coin range but again, buy time for these cards. Today at marquee matchups with that pack supply, if they do rise a little bit after awards today, I think you'll see them kind of dip right back down. During these promos when they go all out with the packs, like we've seen lightning rounds right now on a random late Wednesday into Thursday morning, I also think there's potential for them to run lightning rounds today on Thursday. They've done it in the past. I think they did it during a team of the year, maybe during winter wildcards. Lightning rounds on a Thursday is not something we haven't seen before. So just kind of keep that in mind. We might see some more supply on these cards from marquee matchups and potentially more lightning rounds today on Thursday as well. So just keep an eye on that. Now also, the one thing that I've been mentioning multiple times throughout this week has been should we be waiting for a team to a foot birthday to also look at a few of these cards for an out of packs investment rise? We really don't have a lot of leaks for foot birthday team too right now at the moment and that was something that I was expecting to see more of yesterday on Wednesday. We don't have any load in screen which we usually don't get a loading screen for a team too. Maybe we'll get one today teasing some of the cards that could be in team two. I would be surprised if we didn't have any more leaks today but I guess I thought we were gonna have some yesterday as well but as of right now there's not a lot of like hype for team two. There's some rumors again from the Thakir, the DiBala. There's even rumors about a Messi. I don't know how true those are but that name is being thrown around. So until we get some concrete leaks on what team two might be, if it sounds like team two is not gonna be that good then I would absolutely look at these cards today with marquee matchups, if they do lightning rounds, keep an eye on those prices today but if team two seems really, really hype and it seems like there might be a lot of good content tomorrow with foot birthday team two then what I would honestly be thinking of doing is waiting to get these cards until tomorrow on Friday and waiting until the content drop even after they go out of packs like for that first hour where team one goes out of packs and team two comes into packs I don't think that's gonna make a whole lot of difference on these cards prices. I really don't think waiting between today on Thursday or tomorrow on Friday as well is gonna change a lot. If Grealish goes down to 100K it is absolute low and then tomorrow on Friday he's like 105,000 coins. That's a 5,000 coin difference. If he goes up to 130 or 140 in the next week you won't care about that 5,000 coin difference in that one week time span where he went up 40,000 coins. You know what I'm trying to say? So I think that the risk is lower than the potential fear of missing out I guess you could say, right? So for a lot of these cards I think I might wait until Friday morning see what happens. People are gonna open their week and week rewards Friday morning as well. So these cards will get a little bit of supply since people get their week and week rewards so early and we see a team of the week cards start dropping on Friday as well. I would honestly wait on these guys until Friday unless it looks like team two, if there's leaks released unless it looks like team two is not good at all. And some of those names that we thought we're gonna be in are not actually going to be in the team. That's the only thing that I would say maybe you look for today on Thursday with the marquee matchups and stuff like that. Now especially on some of your higher tier and rare cards, again if we do get a DiBala if we get a Fakir or a Firmino, right? A Firmino would be a card that would possibly make this OdaGuard drop a little bit, right? Because if we get a Firmino, it would probably also be five star, five star, get that week foot upgrade and then bang, all of a sudden you have maybe another competition item, another center attacking mid in the Premier League where people would try to use a Firmino and maybe sell their OdaGuard instead. That's the kind of thing and another reason why we maybe wanna wait for team two to get released and to get talked about or leaked before we go in on some of these OdaGuard birthday cards. But again, I do think there's a potential that these cards will rise out of packs just because again the five star skills, the five star week foot, these cards are just really cheap in general. Like look at all these guys that are 20K. Tereya is a great card for 20,000 coins. Guerrero, Ruben Vezo, Bibu, Dila Renzo is an insane price for that kind of stats for a Serie A right back. Doku I think is really, really good as well. Grealish I think is cheap. Even this Cristiano Ronaldo foot birthday, he's up a little bit right now because of rarity. But yesterday this guy was like 4.6 mil, 4.61. He was even down towards almost like dipping almost into 4.5 mil range. I would keep a really close eye on this card too. If he's down in like the 4.5, 4.6 on the PlayStation and on the Xbox it looks like 3.9, under 3.9 is pretty good for him. I would pull the trigger if that's a card that you wanna have in your team for a long while after these go out of packs. Of course team of the season is still like a month, month and a half away. So they will drop at some point. But again, I think these cards are gonna be the hype cards that people wanna use for the next two to three weeks. And I think that could mean a rise out of packs for these items. So just kinda keep that in mind. I know we talked about that a lot. But foot birthday cards have historically done very, very well out of packs because they're hyped. Again, like we just talked about. And people wanna use them because they are very good in game and the boost are pretty solid and the skill move, weak foot upgrade. So that's that. Now we talked a little bit about today's content like marquee matchups and stuff like that. What else could we be seeing today? Of course marquee matchups is something that we would 100% expect to see. Probably another token, SBC. We had the foot 16 SBC yesterday or some way of them giving us a token. We haven't had a party bag. We haven't had an upgrade SBC. We haven't had anything like that. This whole entire week besides some icon upgrades, it's been a really quiet week for the SBC content. Maybe that changes today, maybe. Maybe they give us like an 84 plus player pick or an 85 upgrade, something along those lines. We could see something like that today. A lot of times EA dropped those on Thursdays like they did last week to give you some gamble pack to do right before a new promo is out. They know that they're giving people packs today from division rivals rewards. So people have some extra fodder in the club as well. So maybe today we'll finally get an SBC like that as well. And they've continued every single day with the player SBCs. We had Lanier yesterday, which again, is a decent card but for a lot of people, not that great, not that hype. So I would imagine that we would get another player SBC yet again today on Thursday, not entirely sure who that's gonna be. But we do have a couple leaks related to foot birthday team two and maybe some SBCs coming this weekend. So I do wanna share some of this information with you because this could be a decent card. Again, it doesn't look insane. Foot birthday Cawkelin, club 80, Hullet gang as it is known, five star weak foot, which is actually kind of decent for a card like this. Gonna be able to pass with either foot. His card is, he's kind of gonna be like a BTEC Conte almost if you will. He's got the five, I think he's five, nine or five, seven, so he's a bit of a shorter build, higher agility balance with the boost that he's gonna get. He has actually a pretty nice pace split. So I know 82 pace doesn't look that good, but this card is not bad. If they make this SBC pretty cheap, then there's some hype there for an SBC like this. Although it does say it might be released on the weekend, these stats are a prediction as well. So kind of reminds me of the Etienne Coupu that we had earlier this year, but better stats. So hopefully that is something that we see as maybe the SBCs turning around a little bit and they give the stats on these cards. They give them a little bit more of a boost. That's what we can hope for. And that could be part of our content today on Thursday with another player, SBC, most likely dropping on the game today. So that's kind of all the foot birthday market stuff that's going on right now. Yesterday we had the prime, mid or prime player pick, which was actually almost the exact same price as the mid icon player pick, 500 and 79,000 coins. Again, 44% upvote, 56% downvote. It is what it is. SBC fodder didn't really move that much. And now with these late night lighting rounds, it's dropping a little bit again. You see 86 is at 16K, 87s are at 20K, 88s are at 30,000 coins. These were up a little bit yesterday right around the time of the SBC. Now they're down just a little bit because of the supply that has been coming in on the market for some of these cards. Maybe fodder rises a little bit today if people get their rewards, go out and do some SBCs. But again, with the supply that's happening, I don't think it's gonna move that much. We just need better SBC content to see this stuff go up. Could it go a little bit lower? There's potential that it could go a little bit lower today after marquee matchups. Maybe tomorrow morning on Friday and with the pack supply tomorrow. This could be like, if you have some of these cards, maybe you invest some more for hopefully some SBCs that are better next week. Let's be honest, right? It can only get better from what it's been this week. Yes, we've had consistent SBCs, but they've really not been good. Look at these percentage completions, right? 9% upvote on Movedidi, 18% upvote. Of course, Timber was really good and Dombele, 11% upvote. Makedarian was pretty good. So it's just most of these SBCs are missing the mark and not hitting the mark. And that's why you don't see fodder really doing that well this week. Now, let's talk about the market in general because we can't talk about yesterday and what is going on in this game without road to the final cards. Yes, we do have a brand new team of the week that was affected by Lining Grounds. Some of these cards actually went up after that supply. I flipped a bunch of tail Hernandez from like 320 to 370. That was a pretty good flip. But these cards are the cards of the hour right now. Gareth Bale going to a 91 rated card just to show you how the upgrades are gonna work after yesterday's game. This is how it's gonna go. Campembe is no longer alive, no upgrades for him. Gareth Bale is getting a plus two because Real Madrid won their first knockout game since the promo was live. The first game, the first leg of PSG Real Madrid was played before, wrote to the final, started. So Real Madrid won the game and they advanced to the next round. That's a plus two upgrade. And so this Gareth Bale is of course up a ton in price. These price movements, again, as I said, these are the best cards in the game to trade with. Gareth Bale was 250 pre-game. I sold a couple of them here at 250. He went down to 180K after Mbappe scored and it was one nil PSG at halftime. Bale was 180,000 coins. He spiked to 400K after the third Benzema goal when basically they locked in the advantage and going on to the next round and that plus two upgrade. So a huge, it literally was swinging in price like absolutely crazy yesterday. It was mad. A ton of people lost coins on the Gareth Bale card and then also a ton of people made coins. There was so much coin losing and making yesterday on the market with these cards. It's wild, right? So this card is very up because his team won Real Madrid. But then the flip side of this is Kempembe is down horrendous and people are losing millions on this Kempembe card. He's actually up from where he was. I bought a bunch of these under 700K actually about 15, 20 minutes ago and he is rising because the panic selling has kind of ended people that bought these cards to hopefully see them get upgraded and rise. This card is now kind of rebounding from that. And I think that this guy was just getting too cheap, right? Even if this card does not upgrade anymore, he is one of the most hyped and popular centerbacks on the game. Le Qua is like another centerback that is kind of in his realm of hype. Yes, his stats look really good with the 93 pace but Kempembe is just so overpowered in this game. This card being less than that Le Qua for me was like, okay, he's getting to be a little bit cheap on the market in my opinion because people know Kempembe is so freaking good in this game. So he's starting to rebound back. I still think he's going to go probably somewhere around the range of like almost 800K. I think he could get back to that price. So just kind of keep a watch on this Kempembe but he was again at one point, literally I bought a Kempembe at 1399. I bought two of them yesterday. After Mbappe scored, he went from 1.39 all the way to 1.58, 1.6 basically. And then of course when Real Madrid started scoring, he went down more than 50% in price which was ridiculous to see but that's how it goes with these Real to the final cards. Now also Manchester City couldn't score a goal yesterday against the team they scored five in in the first leg. So Mara's is only getting a plus one and similarly with the Mane card, if you guys remember, right? Interbeat Liverpool in the second leg and Mane dropped off a lot in price. Mara's had almost the exact same thing happen. Now they didn't lose, they drew but instead of getting a plus two, this card is now only getting a plus one. So he was like 1.05 mil, 1.045 is where I sold nine yesterday I think and now he's down to 900K because he's gonna get a plus one but not the plus two that people were hoping that he would get from the game yesterday. Now there's one more game from yesterday that is actually giving us a very peculiar upgrade. This Denayer, Jason Denayer road to the final. This was the first game that Leone played because they got like the buy from the way that the Europa League works. It's like seeded this year. They were not in the playoffs to get into the knockout stages. So this was their first game against Porto and they won the game. That's the only upgrade that this Denayer is getting since they won the game, he is getting a plus one but since Denayer is an 84 rated card, he actually gets a plus two boost, right? It's the same thing that we always see when a card is 84 rated and gets an inform, they get an 86 rated informed. So a plus one boost for an 84 rated card is actually a plus two and that is why this Denayer is gonna turn into an 86 most likely Friday night when I think they would upgrade these cards after this week's sets of games. I really hope that they don't wait until next week to do it. I hope they do it this week. We'll have to see of course, to see what they do because of course next week we have some more games in Champions League, Europa League and all that good stuff. So they might wait to do it until next week. That would be an L if they do but as early as Friday night, this Denayer could get upgraded and he is up big. He's like 140,000 coins after being 90K because people see this card after a plus two and like, oh my goodness, that is cracked which it is statistically that card looks really, really good. So that's kind of how all the road to the final cards are moving on the market at this moment. And you know, some of these other ones have dropped off because of the craziness of all that happened yesterday with Campembe and Bale and some of these cards too. Again, a lot of people seem to not realize that these cards are not live. These are road to the knockouts and I know it's confusing and this is honestly EA's fault to blame here but this Rodrigo went from 150K to 230. He's not getting upgraded because this was a card that only got upgraded for the group stages, not the knockout stages. So again, I actually went out on the market and bought some Marquinhos. I bought some Marquinhos right here. Yeah, right around this price at like 580 to 590 because this dude yesterday was 750,000 coins and he dropped all the way down to 590. Now a part of this drop could be the fact that Campembe dropped so much in price so people might be selling this Marquinhos to go use Campembe because they can now afford him. Maybe that's the case, a little bit involved in there but those road to the knockout cards are not upgraded. There's a big difference. So just in case you were unaware, road to the knockouts, we've already reached the knockouts, right? So those cards like Bernardo Silva, Fakir, no longer live but a lot of people yesterday thought that they were and that's why you saw the movements in price that you did. Now man, I keep watching this Campembe and this dude, I know it's rare, late at night time heading into today on Thursday but this dude is getting very rare, 740, 738, 739. You see this card rising up. Actually he's up like 60K from where he was so we're in the profit very nicely on Campembe at the moment. I'm probably gonna wait on that a little bit more into today. Also last night I bought some Manes and the 145 range because this guy, yeah look how rare this guy is, bro. People are gonna wake up today, buy him back up. I think he's gonna be close to 1.6 million as you can see. I think a lot of people agree with me. You see this as a trader right here buying the card, listing it up without playing any games. Another one right there listed for six hours overnight and you can see some of these 1.58 in here. Yeah, so this Manet card dropped off. Renato Sanchez was down. It's like a lot of those live items dropped off yesterday on the market because of all the craziness that was happening and everything that was moving on. It was just wild. Yesterday was just an absolutely crazy day for these cards on the market. So the market's still in a very healthy place though, right? I know that there's been a lot of coin losses on these road to the final cards but with all the pack supply that we have seen, you know, people have coins on this game right now. People have SBC fodder and they're just waiting for content to get involved that they want to do stuff with and we just haven't had that much of it in the past couple of days. So I really don't expect anything crazy unless we have some wild, wild leaks for foot birthday team too. I feel like a lot of these cards are gonna stay, you know, not stagnant but they're gonna stay at healthy prices and I don't think you're gonna see anything drop off tremendously unless we have some really, really big leaks. And that would be like the only thing in my opinion that would make a lot of these cards drop off in price. So if you're confident trading today with the rewards market, a lot of these special cards fluctuate in price. Wow, Goretzka 318, what's up with this? Yeah, okay, that's an undercut but, you know, this Goretzka, you could probably buy him right now and sell him tomorrow for rewards at like 350. He was 358 yesterday, dropped down a little bit with all the stuff that was going on. So, you know, that would be the stuff that I'd be looking for on the market right now is trading and flipping with some of these out of pack special cards. This is a lot, 1.06, he's down a little bit. I'm pretty sure yesterday he was 1.14. Yeah, 1.1s. He was down to almost a million coins flat. So, you know, cards like this, you're gonna be able to continue to trade since the content has been slow. That's just gonna create more opportunities for market movements, cause people are gonna be going out and trying cards that are on the market. They're not gonna be going and doing SBCs or draining their club of coins from doing other stuff because the focus is on the cards on the market. And again, the focus is also on this weekend and full birthday team too. Is the team gonna be cracked? What kind of content are we gonna see? The swap rewards are finally gonna come out this Friday as well. If you've been collecting these tokens, we'll be able to turn those in on Friday in this game. So, that's gonna be the video for today boys. I know we talked a lot about market. If you have any questions, make sure you drop them down below in the comments. But hopefully we learned a little bit more about full birthday team too today. Maybe a loading screen, I wouldn't expect it, but there's a little bit of potential. I suppose if EA wanna tease some cards if we don't have anything crazy leaked. Oh, last thing, I have to talk about this. I didn't talk about the hero moment stuff that I said it was gonna do really fast at the end. I know this video's maybe getting a bit long. But this is not for a promo that is gonna be this Friday, I believe. This is gonna be for an upcoming promo. We have leaks that hero moments have been added. Some upgrades and they can finally be good cards. That Foot Captains promo that we talked about a couple weeks ago sounds like this is kind of being continued with some of these leaks. And this is really interesting for this leak here. He says Milito, who is, of course, a hero card in the Serie A, it says Milito hero moments will probably be La Liga. I got told his moments is for when he was on Zaragoza, which was in La Liga at the time. So that just gives us the thought process that some of these cards that are hero items like Ginola, you see here, right here, Ginola might get a hero moments card from his days in the Premier League with Spurs, right? Imagine a Ginola moments hero item that is like, instead of Lee Gunn, instead of its, imagine it's Premier League, right? Imagine some of that stuff for some of these cards. That'd be pretty cracked, pretty cool for some of these hero cards to get upgrades. That's the biggest thing. Heroes need to be upgraded. We need these new versions of these cards, especially as we're at icon moments stage now with the icons. These heroes need to get upgraded as well because they are falling behind the curve just a little bit on this game in my opinion as well. So crazy, crazy market movements to talk about right now. A lot of foot birthday stuff. We will see what EA does today on Thursday with lightning rounds, with the supply, with the content. And if we have leaks about foot birthday team too, we'll be talking about those live on stream. Make sure you check that link down below in the description. So it was a crazy day on the market. We did make a lot of coins. It feels good. I know a lot of people lost coins as well. Don't give up. If you did, it was gonna be good. There's gonna be bad. It comes and goes. Valleys and peaks, right? That's keep moving through the market. Don't get demotivated if that was you. Look for more profit opportunities because there's a lot of them out there right now with the focus being on not a lot of content for SBCs and a lot of stuff on the market. So that's the video for today, boys. If you did enjoy, smash the thumbs up on it. Comment down below if you have any questions and subscribe if you're new. It's been Nathan Ford Account. And I'll catch you guys later. Peace.
