 Hey guys, it's Nate, AKA The Foot Accountant. Welcome back to the channel. We have a new promo to talk about. I'm gonna back out so I can show you that loading screen one more time. But it is the new, what is rumored to be called, what if, promo. So, we have a new car design. We have two car designs here. One, as you'll see on the left, has the up arrows not bolded in with color. And the right card has the arrows bolded in. If I could see the loading screen, EA, thank you. So we have the arrows like an upgraded card on the right with a lot of question marks. Interesting car design, right? I'm really curious to see how an actual player with stats and a dynamic image looks on that card. But we do have a couple little tidbits of information that we might be thinking, it might be, I guess, a leak or something that we could be learning already about this new promo and what it is going to be. But this has a lot of impacts on the market and I think it will change things even for today on Thursday as we have rewards. We have a sick team of the week that we need to talk about as well. And also, how does this affect the market today on Thursday into tomorrow on Friday? Road to the finals, again, moving big day today on Thursday with Europa League games happening. Big time upgrades on road to the final cards coming Friday night with also some Europa League. There's some interesting things going on with Europa League with the actual draw. And I'm gonna talk about that in a separate video because I feel like that needs another bit of its own time to be talked about. But I wanna talk about specifically this promo that's coming, right? And especially some of the quote unquote leaks that we do have. Now, what we know right now is, or from what we supposedly know, this has been going around on Twitter, it's all hearsay. Again, I don't like to put a lot of weight on this hearsay, but this stuff seems to be pretty concrete. And honestly, it does. There's a lot of people saying this is true. We'll find out more information today on Thursday probably with a loading screen with players on it and be able to decipher a little bit more information from that loading screen. But this is the tweet and this is the conversation on Twitter that everybody is talking about. It is from King Langpart. I'm gonna drop the link to this tweet in the description if you wanna check it out. But these new items, the what if promo, are live cards similar to headliners. And instead of like wins in a row, it's based on objectives. Like a team scoring a certain amount of goals in five games with the attackers and midfielders getting boosted stats or clean sheets for goalkeepers and defenders getting boosted stats. That's very indifferent. That is very different and that is very interesting. That's a totally different live item. Again, I think all of us in FIFA can agree on the fact that we like live items. Live items are fun, the potential to upgrade. It makes for honestly very profitable market movements. You can trade with the cards a lot, watch them move. I mean, just take a look at some of these headliners that fluctuate up and down all the time based on cards that get in to the team of the week or get upgraded, cards that weren't expected to get in or cards that were expected to get in that didn't and have now rebounded back like this Holland card was down to 625, now he's back up to 660. But what headliners does is it's all about wins and that is what seems to be the difference with these new cards. It's gonna be based on actual team performance not just with a win draw or a loss stat. It's gonna be with in-game stats which is crazy. Now I have a couple preliminary thoughts when I start to see stuff like this because if we're getting more live cards, people go crazy for live cards. People drop everything and run for live cards because they have that potential to get upgraded, right? Think about how crazy high in price the road to the final players get. Think about how crazy high in price the headliners get when they get between their second win all to their third win, then to their fourth, then they get that upgrade. The market movements and just the demand for cards to upgrade inside of the game themselves is crazy. It always has been crazy and it always will be crazy in FIFA and this is another version of a live item. And the only problem I have with this is we're almost getting to the point where EA seems like maybe trying to confuse their audience about how these cards upgrade. You already have people that think team of the knockout stage cards are live cards or team of the tournament items. A lot of people think that these cards upgrade which actually, as we all know, they do not. These cards do not upgrade, right? The Champions League cards, this is just a boosted card because they played well in the group stage. This, the road to the final item, does upgrade. So now we have another type of live item on the game. We got road to the finals. We've got ones to watch. We've got headliners. And now we have a brand new upgradeable item called these brand new what if, right? What kind of promo name is that anyway? That's kind of, it's interesting and it's different. But since we are, we have been starved of a promo for the last week or so. People are ready for stuff to be in packs again. People are ready, right? You've been grinding objectives this week. I need to start grinding icon swaps myself or you've been grinding like a future star academy stuff. Maybe you've been grinding bronze pack method to try to get these icon packs and stuff like that. It's all been a big grind or people have even stepped away from the game in this past week just because they would rather do other things than play FIFA when it's kind of quiet. So whatever this promo is, if it is indeed related to live items that are upgraded based off of objectives and not just wins, I think that's really cool. I just want to say though that I think it's getting a bit confusing for some people with these cards. Now, I honestly also want to know what you guys think of this car design. It's different, right? Purple and black. I'm interested. I'm interested to see how a car looks on here and hopefully we have, I mean, this has potential, right? Live promos. Think about headliners in the past couple of years. It's been a pretty good promo overall. You think about once to watch it, it is what it is. You think about road to the final. Always a pretty cool promo. So live items in FIFA always stand out. They always are different because they have that upgrade potential and that makes people want to go after them a lot. Whether it's SBCs, whether it's objective, people grind the objectives for those cards because they have more potential to get upgraded and to be a higher rating later on in the year. So all I'm saying is with the stuff that comes out this weekend, it could be a pretty high promo. It really could be a pretty special promo this weekend depending on what some of those objectives are, how quickly players will attain them and the player selection. Now, I was joking about this in the stream earlier today. We think that one person is due for a special card and each of the past two years, Neymar has got a center attacking mid special card in a promo around this time of the year, right? Carnival in FIFA 19, Headliners in FIFA 20. It's about time for our center attacking mid position change, another maybe even live version if it's a what if version of Neymar in FIFA. So I think Neymar is somebody who we're hoping can get one of those special cards. Guys that won't use that Neymar will hope for another special card for him. But with the potential of more live items coming to the market and with what's going on in the game right now and with all the other stuff that could come out Friday, could be a big Friday, right? We still think possibly winter upgrades, right? You know, they've added some of those new cards in. We've got icon moments cards that if you go over here to like the news section, they're promoing here only 34 icons were added last week, probably another 33 or maybe the rest of the 66 will be added this Friday. So expect more icon movements on the market. It's gonna be a pretty busy Friday. Honestly, it really is new promo, more icon moments, most likely, maybe winter upgrades, we will see about that. But since it's gonna be a big Friday, it's gonna impact the market a lot. We'll talk about it more in depth tomorrow when we also learn a little bit more about this promo, maybe through a loading screen. But when it comes to today with rewards, we have obviously a banging team of the week. This is one of the best team of the weeks, whether you look at it from just a top down perspective of how we have some big heavy hitters in this team of the week with Christiane Ronaldo and Marcus Rashford. Or if you take a look at it for an SBC fodder or maybe even like a value team of the week. There's a lot of these cards that, Bernardo Silva, right? He's got a couple of informs now. He's got a freeze card, nice. This hand Danovish card is making other, he's finally another inform or special card for a Serie A goalkeeper. And of course Rashford, dude, this card is literally one upgrade away. I don't even want to know if Rashford gets a team of the season this year, if they do the boost, right? That Rashford team of the season card is going to be ridiculous if they do that, which I think EA will definitely sauce it up since he's already gotten multiple informs. But pretty solid team of the week this week. Of course, if you're opening your red picks, good luck. And of course with Ronaldo and Rashford in there, Bernardo Silva, you're hoping for the best. But of course today with rewards, you expect to see some of these guys drop. Now I even mentioned to some people getting in on some of these team of the week cards before rewards, because today at the rewards timeframe, I feel like it's going to be a mad dash. A lot of people have seen how much rewards have or informs have gone up out of packs in the past couple of weeks, like the Sebastian Holler card, 23,000 coins. You know, I wouldn't really invest at this price. And it might be a kind of tough timeframe where this team of the week could possibly get over invested in when it comes to the fodder cards, just because you're going to have so many people who are looking to see and invest in these cards for more SBCs that will be upcoming. So just be careful. I think a lot of people today at rewards might start investing in this stuff. So just be careful with that. But on the other meta cards like hand damage, Ronaldo, Rashford, Bernardo Silva, maybe even Alberto a little bit, you'll probably see them drop a little bit of rewards and then rebound a little after, just with general demand and hype because of those team of the week packs for elite plus finishers. But one thing I do think is going to happen with the market today, is I think people are going to start saving packs because people have been saving packs and that is just kind of a, that's just kind of a thing that people have been doing in the past couple of weeks as there's no promo cards and packs and EA has kind of trained us to think in this way. And of course, people who are trying to, you know, get the best value out of their packs as they possibly can, are waiting to open packs down until there's actually promo cards out in the game. And since we haven't had promo cards and packs for a hot second, I do think that you will see a lot of people hold their packs today, which means usually a lot of people might not be buying some of their teams either. So we're definitely keeping an eye out on the market for some, maybe less than desirable rises for a Thursday flip. If I'm looking at cars today, some of these have already bounced back up. Harvey Barnes was like 430K today. We shouted him on stream. And I think people realize that that was a pretty good buy and they bought him all the way up to 460K. Other couple of cards like that too, I still think that there will be cards that rise this week. I do think there will be cards that rise up a little bit today, but I feel like this promo, this weekend with stuff coming, could be a very, very interesting time for the market in general, not just in terms of like the meta cards, but in terms for SBC fodder. Since it's very, very high, would EA start off with day one, not having that hype of an SBC so they could drop the fodder prices a bit or if they just keep fodder high and keep draining coins from people's clubs when they put out big-time SBC players and requiring a lot for that, but also people are willing to pay that high price so they're overspending on fodder. But I do think that there's a predominant portion of the market this weekend that could drop off even more. We've seen some drop-offs if we take a look at, maybe some gold cards, right? Let's take a look at Golden Bop, 928,000 coins right now. Yes, if a Neymar card would come out, that might be some of the people would be interested in, but you take a look at this Rise Post team of the year, right? Right before team of the year, down to 830K, rising up to almost a million coins, not quite, but again, we are in that part of the year where a lot of new cards are coming out, people are gonna be selling their gold cards and the demand is just gonna start outweighing the supply in the second half of the year and I do think you're gonna see some of these gold cards just start to dip down. You've already started to see it on Ronaldo. Of course, he's been affected by his flashback SBC in the recent weeks, people having that card and they don't really need the striker one. So, all I'm saying is, I just feel that this promo this weekend has potential to impact the market as a whole and you might see some of these card prices, even some of the future stars that are brand new, right? These are brand new cards. Some of the future stars from team two have bounced up out of packs. Excuse me, a really decent amount. This David card's up like 40,000 coins. Ruben Diaz was 275 at one point. You know, Tapsoba was 600K, Antony was 570. So, you've seen some nice rises on a lot of these cards and I wonder if people are gonna be quick to sell cards that they have in this game because still, if you look at the game as a whole right now, after future stars two, people's entire clubs were left broke. They were left broke and if people really aren't on the game or they're grinding icon swaps, maybe they're getting a couple packs here or there. Maybe they're doing some of the daily SBCs or whatever, but I'm just worried that people right now still have very broke clubs. They don't have a lot of players in their clubs. They don't have fodder and honestly they don't have coins because a lot of people rinsed coins into upgrade packs trying to pack big time cards during future stars in the last couple of weeks. So, I am a bit worried about the market. I still feel like we can drop down a little bit more with the stuff that is going on and with the potential for these live cards because again, I want to really, really preface this. If the potential upgrades for these what if cards are semi easy to get and if it's brand new, it's a totally different way of thinking about live upgrades in FIFA, people are going to be all about it. They're going to want to get involved. They're going to want to know and they're going to want to just try out those new players, especially if the player selection is sick, if the other content objective-wise and SBC-wise is sick, the potential here is pretty crazy. The potential here is very high for an awesome promo and for a lot of market movements because of that stuff that would come out. So, you know, right now we have a lot of road to the final market movements that are going on because these are live items where the competitions are in swing. We've got cards that are fluctuating up crazy amounts. Today on Thursday, we're going to have a big Twitch livestream during the actual games going on, trading with some of these cards live on stream. This Rafael Varan, when it is down to 1.915, he was 2 million coins today when twice actually, when Real Madrid got the red card, or sorry, when Atalanta got the red card and they went down to 10 men, this Varan went to 2 mil, they didn't score until the 80-something minute and then he went back up to 2 mil. Same thing with like Ed and Hazard went up a lot, Gabriel J. Zuz went up a lot. Those cards are guaranteed upgrades on Friday night. We'll talk a bit about that again in the second video but I wonder if these brand new cards coming out will take a little bit of the hype off of these road to the finals. Maybe a little bit of these road to the final cards might lose their hype just for a quick second. So we'll talk about that a little bit tomorrow, of course, if you see like any selling on these cards headed into the weekend, that could be a major, major place where you could get involved. Now, Cancelo was down to 500K, it's like 4.95. He's back up to 5.19. A lot of people are investing in these cards. So I'm just gonna say, watch out for those cards this weekend. All depends on how hyped the promo is and how cool the cards are and what the upgrades and stuff is going on as to how the market reacts. And if there's panic selling and if there's crazy drop offs and if people are selling cards to go get these new ones or whatever, just wanna keep an eye out for that and just be mindful of what else is going on in the game at the moment. Now, one thing that we always talk about being a constant on this market and a constant in FIFA are icons, right? Icons are the smooth and steady. Now, of course, they still fluctuate but with mids out of packs, with baby icons out of packs and of course, icons being able to link together so many different types of squad, link ups with the chemistry that they have, they always maintain that value. Icons are gonna be an interesting watch this week too because of more prime icon moments coming out. You might see more drop off and more sell off headed into that Friday time frame. So if you have an icon moments card, I'm actually really curious to see it. I haven't watched a lot of these moments in price to be honest with you yet but a lot of them have seemingly dropped off. So Kari has actually kind of held this price pretty well. He was a 2.2 max price range but some of these guys have really, really dropped off and I just wanna say watch those fluctuations and watch those prices as we head into another day of brand new icon being released. I feel like you will see sell off on prime icons especially that haven't had moments cards yet. We'll talk a little bit about that tomorrow again with the Friday promo video but yeah, I just think that this weekend could be crazy because everybody is just chomping at the bit for a new promo. There's gonna be a lot of safe packs. That's gonna affect the market. Packs that people won't be opening for rewards. Shoot, I got silver one rewards, I did two or I don't even know what my rank and division rivals is or what I'm gonna finish at. Rank three rewards. I don't think it's worth me grinding to rank two. No, it's definitely not. Anyways, my rewards that are probably not that good, I might as well save them, right? And that's what a lot of people are gonna do. We'll talk about that and how it's gonna affect the market of course. But people are just ready for a new promo and when people, this is a scary combination right now. People are just yearning for a new promo, they're ready, they're chomping at the bit for new promo cards and something to do and then EA drops a brand new bombshell on us and they say, hey, here's these brand new cards, new ways to get upgraded. If that is the case, those two things collide could be a pretty crazy weekend, right? A lot of market movements, maybe some sell off, maybe some explosions, who knows? We're really gonna have to wait and see what this promo is all about. But that's why there's hype, right? That's why there's hype and that's why some of the stuff is pretty cool and that's why EA continue to release what I think is new and fresh content, right? The showdown SBCs this year, all the crazy objectives that we've had and some of the new stuff that they've done. Some people are saying that this promo might replace shape shifters or like the combination of rule breakers and foot freeze, replace shape shifters and then this is the new promo, kind of like how they used rule breakers to replace screen and foot freeze to replace foot mis. This might be the new promo that kind of replaces in a sense, shape shifter. So we will have to see if that is the case, really hoping for some information tomorrow from EA, maybe on a loading screen. I think that would be almost guaranteed. I think even on that tweet, the guy mentioned that player news would be coming tomorrow and I don't know if that's like a leak from him or if that's something on the menus but get buckled in, get ready to go because it seems like it's gonna be a pretty dope weekend and after a weekend where EA did not deliver with icon swaps and icon moments coming out, hopefully they can deliver this weekend and see that potential to do so and drop some sick content on this Friday. But if you enjoyed this video, smash the thumbs up on it, comment down below if you have any questions and subscribe if you're new. It's been Nathan Foot Account and I will catch you guys later. Peace out.
