 Hey guys, it's Nate, AKA The Foot Accountant. Welcome back to the channel. We need to have a talk about the transfer market on FIFA 20 and how low it is right now. It is Sunday. Weekendly sell off is in full swing. Actually, as you can tell by this graph, I'm recording this on Saturday evening, basically like midnight UK time on Saturday into Sunday. And the market is very, very low. If we actually look at the daily graph, according to the index 100, this is the lowest point that the market has been on the average for the day since the beginning of FIFA. This is literally the lowest point of the market so far. And a lot of people are wondering, and they're curious, why is the market this low? As you can see, a lot of stuff peaked on Wednesday and then actually went down to Thursday and Friday and as the weekend league happened and went on, a lot of people are selling their teams right now. That's kind of what's happening. Little weekend league sell off action. With the market already being somewhere where it didn't rise up before. And that's what I wanna look at some cards today and kind of talk about. What's kind of going on with the market because a lot of people wanna know why are these cards not rising? What is keeping the market low? And are these cards ever gonna rise? Or are these the prices that we're gonna see? And are these the prices that we're gonna be dealing with in this part of FIFA? I'm here to tell you today that the prices are definitely gonna rise. But I just don't think that anybody has coins right now. And you're probably wondering why would nobody have coins? Well, EA has played this promotion very, very smart. They've been putting out SBCs that are very affordable for people to do. Basically, since the beginning of the game, almost every SBC that we've gotten has been very doable. Joseph Martinez has been like the most, what you could call overpriced SBC. Everything else has been pretty doable. Team Upuki being around what, like 25K, 11 Dotskies around 100K, 120K, maybe 150K, depending on his fluctuations. But I feel like that SBC is decently worth it for the card that you get. And then these Once-to-Watch Prom as SBC. This one's like 20K. Both of these are like 60K of these combined SBCs. And people are suckers for Once-to-Watch cards because they have that opportunity to be upgraded through the rest of the year. So people have done these SBCs. People have gone and done the advanced SBCs as well. They added the National Pride SBC this year, which is disgracefully expensive. Like it's like what? It's like 120,000 coins over here in Fupin. Yeah, it is over here. It's 121,000 coins to do this SBC on Fupin, which is pretty expensive. I mean, thinking about the packs that you get back, you're paying 55K to get a rare players pack, 21K to get a 15K pack. This SBC is literally not worth it unless you're spending less than 40K for the entire thing. In my opinion, but people are getting sucked in. They do SBCs like this because they get packs and they're willing to do anything for packs. So people would probably spend, if you're doing all these SBCs, over 200,000 coins on SBCs. And for the average FIFA player, that's a lot of coins at this state of the game. So that's why I think you're seeing the market in a still a relatively low state. And that's why you're not seeing a lot of card prices rise. But what is gonna make that change is more rewards continuing coming on the market, less SBCs as the ones to watch promo ends. And of course, just people being able to grind the game, people using objectives to get cards that they're using to then play more games, people building their teams wanting to play the game more and stuff like that. So again, the rewards are the thing that are gonna drive this market continually up because when people don't have coins, they either have to open packs, they have to trade, or they have to get rewards from playing the game. And the most common ways are just gonna be opening packs and doing rewards. EA did drop promo packs today. They've been putting 15K packs in the store every once in a while. They did again today. And people are opening these from what I hear. People open these packs of the coins. Sometimes the 15Ks actually aren't even that bad. That's what I hear. So that could help the market out a little bit as well. But the ones to watch promo runs through Monday. That's when these SBCs expire. I think it's like Monday at six PM UK. That's when the ones to watch cards will go out of packs as well. Yeah, you see these two SBCs expire in one day, 17 hours. So I think you should see through this next week. We said it last week. We said last week, yeah, the market's gonna be rising throughout this week. It should be flying with rewards. But what we didn't realize was that last week, nobody had coins in here. The market was the highest on Wednesday because people were scared to sell anything or to buy anything because they thought that that, obviously we had the SBCs come out and pushed some of the gold cards up for the UCL market matchups. So that caused some rise in the SBC fodder, like the Byron players, the Barça players, the Spurs players, not rising stuff up there. And we had some ones to watch move as well, which moved cards in the midweek. But now those things are gone. The UCL hype is kinda gone with the gold, the UCL rare cards. We don't know what's gonna happen with those just yet. And the market continues to go down because people are selling their teams this weekend. So what is that allowing for us to see right now? An opportunity to buy a lot of different things. So you know the market is getting too low when you see things like out-of-pack team of the week cards dropping below what they were when they were in packs. The young is 170,000 coins right now. That is very low for him. Mertens 399, Aria is 25K. Team of the week won, Serge Aria, who was 30,000 coins on Thursday. The graph's gone now. The daily graph on Thursday showed him at 31 to 32K almost all day. He's now down back to 25 and a little bit below that, which is what he was almost in packs. 25,000 coins up here while he was in packs. Maybe a little bit of over-investing. I don't think it's over-investing with this card. I just think it's people using this card in Weekend League and they're selling their Weekend League teams to get those coins back in their club to do stuff this week. So if you're somebody who has a lot of coins, obviously you see me over here sitting on 100K. I'm not doing a lot of investing. I am doing all trading. A lot of center backs, a lot of defenders. I've been flipping a lot of this in Diddy cards. Some of the ones to watch is today. A couple of just lazy cells that I've been doing and a lot of flipping of midfielders, defenders, and of course listing stuff for lazy buyers as well. Position change and chemistry style trading is how I am making my coins right now. FIFA picked up a couple of ones to watch. Sarabia's after his game today, when his price started to go back down. That's a possible place that you could look as well because I think he's gonna get informed this week. Let me check in on his price really quick. I bought mine for 25K. What's he at right now? All right, so is that one just an undercut or? Yeah, so Sarabia's about 26K. So he's kind of still chilling in that same area. He was at 32K in the hype for his SBC or when the, not SBC. When he scored those goals, IRL. So that's something that you could watch as well. But all in all, we look at so many things on the market. So much of this stuff is low. Benzema at 110K is a little bit low. I think this DeYoung card is disgracefully low at 170,000. You can see here that he was 170K last week while he was in packs. Rose a bit above that. I mean, I remember seeing this card almost at 200K. But he has the ones to watch, so you had to kind of factor that into mine too. But even Team of the Week two is very low and since this market is low, it's causing Team of the Week three, which is in packs right now, it's causing this Team of the Week to be very cheap as well. I'm honestly still appalled that this Inditi card on PlayStation 4 is around 50,000 coins. 50K for this card. He is the second best center defensive mid in the Premier League. This Inditi card behind Kante, it is Inditi. And honestly, Inditi is not that much worse than Kante. Yes, you heard me say it. He does lack a little bit of passing stats, but his passing is very solid. This is a very, very good CDM in FIFA. And the fact that his Inform is 55K, I could easily see in a couple of weeks, maybe this market is gonna rise slower than what we thought it would in compared to years past. But maybe in a couple of weeks, we see this card at 70,000 coins. I don't think that's too crazy of a number to think. So if you're somebody that's got over 300 to 400,000 coins sitting in your bank balance right now, and maybe if you're liquid right now and you're thinking about picking up some Inform investments, this might be somebody that you look at. He's Premier League. People are looking to upgrade their Premier League squads. They're always looking forward to doing that. But this could be a great card to do that with right now in FIFA. I think this card is a fantastic investment for around under 55K on PlayStation. I would like to get one into my club at some point. On this weekend as well, because I think that's gonna be the low point for a lot of these cards. I do think you're gonna see prices start to rise throughout the week as people are playing games. People will get squad battle rewards Sunday night. And if they don't release any big SBCs throughout the rest of this week, which I don't think they will, maybe something on Monday or Tuesday, they did throw a flashback SBC out last year. So that's a possibility. I mean, they could do something with that this year. I don't know what the plans are for that. But I do think the SBCs should slow down and that's gonna help people out on this game a lot. It's gonna help people out a lot when they're able to actually have the coins to do something instead of feeling like they have to go do an SBC. Because I feel like that's where people are getting trapped and that's why the market is down. But since the market is down, if you guys do have coins, if you're losing on some of your week in league investments, you might take this as an opportunity to say, hey, the market is really low. I'm seeing a lot of stuff that is down right now. Maybe I should take the small loss and some of the stuff that I bought for week in league flips that never really panned out. I have some cards like that for myself. Malinkovich Savage, I bought him at like 9,000 coins. I think he's now under 9K. I might take a little bit of the loss so that I can get extra 100,000 coins in my club for investing. Spending 100,000 coins maybe on this Golovin card instead of keeping those Malinkovich Savages on my transfer list, there's probably a higher return on investment on this Golovin card than on those cards on my transfer list with the Malinkovich Savage. So since the market is very low right now, somebody said doorbell, like you just heard that. Since the market is very low right now, a lot of these cards are maintaining a low price because people just don't have coins to buy them. And that's why they're low, which gives us a great opportunity to pick them up. The informs I think you should pick up this weekend, but the rewards coming Sunday night, I think is gonna push the market up through into this week. And again, Thursday, I think you're gonna see a big push. As you know, this weekend with rewards or this weekend with foot champions, a lot of casual players probably weren't able to qualify for foot champions. So this Thursday's weekend league rewards probably won't be a big search of coins on the market like we thought it was gonna be last week. It probably is gonna be another slow rise again this next weekend, but we can look to last week and see what stuff rose a lot, what meta cards rose a lot. And I would expect to see some of that same stuff rising in this weekend. Of course, more informs on the market. But this is, I just wanna kind of bring you guys like a state of the market video, I guess, because as we looked out on the index 100, as we looked at on foot bin and in the game, stuff is just low, all right? Stuff is just low and it's just kind of too low. People are gonna get coins this game. It seems like it's gonna take longer this year because EA are kind of nickel in diamonds with SBCs. I said that in yesterday's video and I really feel like it's true right now as well. People just can't stay away from SBCs. And when SBCs come out that are pretty cheap, the 20 to 50K range for SBC, so many people feel like they can afford that and they can get that card in their club, like the Promes or like the Levandosky. I've seen a lot of people with play of the month Levandosky, so I think this week is gonna be another rise in the market. It's gonna take some time, especially EA is gonna keep, I think EA is gonna keep putting out these small SBCs like they have been doing this week. It just seems like it's what they're trying to do. They're trying to keep this market lower. They don't want it to explode just yet and they want to make it a slow gradual climb. So I think that's what they're trying to do and I think they're honestly succeeding in that so far. So GG foot economists, if that's what you're trying to do with this market right now, a slow rise instead of the big boom like we had last year for the first week in league. But again, as more people spend time on the game, more people play games, cards are going to rise in price. So if you feel like you're losing money on your team and you bought it what you thought was the cheapest price or your investments aren't going up, don't panic, okay? Don't panic. We know this game. We know the people on this game. People will begin to get more coins in the next coming weeks, all right? So if you got a team, I'm kinda rocking it. I bought a couple of guys from my team. We packed the Soco, we packed Martial and Tradeable. I bought Nabri as you see there. So I'm finishing N-Dombele. I'm gonna put him in the middle and the team is gonna be set for me. Obviously I need to work on upgrading the defense, but yeah, the teams are coming together and everybody else is playing FIFA like that too. Their teams are coming together as well but I just think at the moment a lot of people don't have coins because they're getting sucked in to SBCs to get packs or to get those untradable ones to watch players and hopefully this week in FIFA we don't have as many of those SBCs so that stuff could rise. But again, right now the market is very low. Weekend league sell-off is in full swing and I kinda wanted to just bring this video to you guys talking about what I see on the market in terms of the low and the low tier cards. I mean, we can look at the cheapest by rating tab. We're gonna probably have more SBCs coming in the future. You're gonna start hearing people talk about the second coming, the second month of Premier League player of the month. That's gonna be coming soon. So that's gonna be something to watch out for as well. Another SBC that people could possibly drain their coins into. But again, the market seems low and I kinda just covered it for you guys why I think it is gonna be low but have faith it's gonna rise, okay? It's gonna rise. People will buy their cards on this game. It's still a great time to be flipping, icon flipping, flipping with those chemistry styles and with the position changes because people are still building squads. Once to watchers are very fun to flip with. A lot of them this year are very active in terms of possibility to get in forms. So even though we're not having a lot of just overall rise in the market or the market is still low overall, these once to watch cards still move a lot and provide an opportunity to make coins. Same with once to watches or same with icons, my bad. Same with icons as well. Both of those types of cards, once to watchers obviously are very easy for a lower budget, icons for higher budgets but those two areas are still fluctuating a lot because icons are still very rare at this point in time and once to watchers have all the hype of being new in the game and connected to IRL performances. So if there's nothing at all that you think you can trade with, look at those once to watch cards. We do have international games this week. So make sure that if you're investing in once to watches as they go out of packs, make sure you look and see, do those players play for the international squads and we might cover some of that this week in a video on the channel. I wanna cover icon flipping as well this week because I'm getting to a point where I can start to do that myself. I've been off to a slow start this year but we're really picking it up today. I've sold all these 35 items on the transfer list have been sold today. So we've been doing a lot of selling today, a lot of trading, made definitely probably 100K at least today using about 100 to 200,000 coins at the most to buy players and sell players. So it feels good to be making coins again and even though the market is low people are still buying players, all right? People are still buying players and I think you're gonna see that market rise up a little bit this week, a little bit at the end of the week again, kind of like jump up in little increments and then I think it's really just gonna take two weeks for this market to fly. We'll see what happens with SBCs and stuff and people able to get coins in the game through rewards and stuff like that.
