 Hey guys, it's Nate, AKA The Foot Accountant. Welcome back to the channel. We are talking about the next promo that is coming soon supposedly inside of FIVA 22 Ultimate Team that is team of the group stage. Black Friday is past, team of the group stage is supposedly coming soon. So I wanna talk about that promo. We could see a loading screen as early as today. We're gonna look back at it last year and if EA repeat themselves, we will actually see a loading screen today because they dropped one last year on the Wednesday right after the Black Friday promo ended. So I think that's a possibility for today which is why we're talking about it in this video. Talk about the loading screen. Again, last year's team, I wanna look at those cards, just what team of the group stage is and how ones to watches might not actually upgrade for the team of the group stage cards this year. Now speaking of ones to watches, today on Wednesday in the game as well is a big day. Team of the week 11, the hero packs are out if you have not seen those and more ones to watch upgrades are gonna be pushed out today for those wins to watch cards, Messi, Upamecano, Subitzer, Dumfries. There's a long list of cards that are gonna get upgraded today. And again, I mentioned the hero packs if you pre-order the Ultimate Edition of FIFA, like before August, it was a really long time ago. These are now out, right? They were released at midnight UK time on Wednesday in the AM. So I know these aren't as exciting as we thought they were going to be since we've had multiple hero upgrades. I'm saving mine for the stream later today, but that is something that is now out in the game and we'll take a look because it has impacted the market a little bit. But let's talk about team of the group stage because we have card designs, right? We have card designs and I think we even clicked through them quickly yesterday in yesterday's upload, but these are supposedly the card designs that have been added to the code for team of the group stage. Now what is team of the group stage, right? Team of the group stage is basically cards of players that have performed well in the group stages of the European competition, the respective European competitions. Now of course, last year, we just had the Champions League and the Europa League cards this year. We will have the Conference League, of course, included as well. And the reason, again, why I'm talking about this and it seems like it's being leaked very often. A lot of people are talking about this league of team of the group stage. Again, with the cards added to the database, a lot of people are saying that it is confirmed for Friday and a loading screen today would really confirm that and that's why I'm talking about this again in this video. Last year, the Wednesday after Black Friday, they released a loading screen with the team of the group stage card design, which in my opinion, that card design looks definitely better than this one. I like the whole like sphere over the stadium. That just looks pretty sick. I don't know, I feel like these designs year over year, they barely change and I think I like last year's better if I'm being completely honest. But that's besides the point. Look for a loading screen today. There could be potential for that. So again, basically team of the group stage as we look at last year's team, they just put out a promo of boosted cards, of players that have performed well so far in their competition. So some names that are being thrown around, Muhammad Salah, Cristiano Ronaldo. I think Kempembe's name has been thrown around a little bit, Adiyemi, right? There's a ton of names that could be involved in this promo. Last year, this was the team and EA went all out with this squad last year. Bruno Fernandez, Rashford, Holland, Messi, De Bruyne, Diego Carlos, a ton of really meta cards came out of this promo and this promo last year actually dropped the market a little bit because of how packable these players were, how cheap they were and people had just gotten out of Black Friday, they had a lot of coins. So a lot of people like with that extra supply too with all the packs that were opened last year and of course, this year on Black Friday as well, you actually saw the market drop a bit because people sold the cards that they had bought for their teams and they inserted some of these new players from this promo. We'll talk about that a little bit more later on and if you need to really prepare for that, once this promo is maybe confirmed with a loading screen today on Wednesday or maybe not, maybe it'll be a Thursday or whenever this could be. But that's kind of what team of the group stage is. This is a promo that a lot of people look forward to because it's champions league related content. These are not live cards. That's the biggest thing to remember. These are not live cards and that leads me to one very interesting point. We're gonna touch on this very briefly today and probably talk about it a little bit more later on. Somebody by the name of Cristiano Ronaldo was expected to be in team of the group stage because of his performances so far, right? Ronaldo has a once to watch item. Now in previous years, once to watches were upgraded by team of the group stage or team of the knockout stage items, this is back into the FIFA 21 once to watch FAQ and here it says that OTW items upgrade when players receive performance based informs such as team of the week, man of the match, European team of the tournament or hero items, right? That European team of the tournament would be a team of the group stage item. That's the same thing, right? Team of the tournament, team of the group stage, same thing. Now this year, under the FIFA 22 frequently asked questions, it says that once to watch player items will upgrade when a player receives a qualifying performance based inform and then in parentheses, it only says team of the week and man of the match. So in total, it looks like some of these people are gonna be thinking about Ronaldo's gonna upgrade, if Ronaldo gets a 92 rated team of the group stage card, he's not gonna upgrade, that is in fact correct. So be very careful if you start to see some ones to watch as a players, I don't know who else could be in this team. Maybe some people think Hakimi might be in team of the group stage, I don't know. But Ronaldo's card is actually up. He's actually kind of risen up recently. He was higher yesterday, he's 2.11 right now. He was 2 mil on the weekend, rose up to 2.17 and now he's kind of back down just a little bit. But I do not expect this card unless EA forget their own rules that they have made for this year, I don't expect this card to get upgraded if he does get into team of the group stage. So that is just my opinion. Watch out for a loading screen today. If they do show the card design on a loading screen. Again, the reason why I'm making this video in total is because last year on Wednesday, right after Black Friday, they didn't skip a beat. They ended Black Friday kind of like they did yesterday and they went straight into team of the group stage. So that is why I am, I guess, theorizing that that could be the same way this year. So watch out for a loading screen today. We will have to see if that does get dropped in this game or not and then we'll talk about more potentials, more market impact and stuff like that after we see an official loading screen and stuff like that. So speaking of what's going on inside of this game though, there is plenty gonna happen today on Wednesday inside of FIFA. Now first thing is first, Wednesday means team of the weekday. I wanna take a look at a quick team of the week prediction. There's a couple big names in here. A couple of ones to watch cards that might be upgraded as well. Antoine Griezmann is one of those names and so is Anderson Tliska. He's probably not gonna get his wins to watch upgrade for the Anderson Tliska, but another plus two might be coming to this guy because he might have an inform. So that's very interesting. And if you look at this team of the week, there's actually a decent amount of plays in here that could be pretty good. Diogo Jota could be in the team of the week. A Mertens inform is looking very likely. James Madison, Marquinhos second inform is looking likely as well. A Diabi card would be a nice cheap super sub similar to his rule breakers item. Bebu Gundewan is another name has been thrown around and a couple team of the predictions that I've seen as well. So it looks like it could be a decent value team of the week, right? Jota would be a nice card, not very expensive. Marquinhos would probably be somewhere around like the 350, 400,000 coin range, maybe 500K in my opinion, depending on how big of a boost they give him. It's only a plus one of course for an inform. So that would be interesting. And then another Tavernier. Tavernier, this card looks disgusting. This card looks absolutely disgusting. Of course, Tavernier has already gotten the featured team of the week boost for his 84 rated inform. His 84 would go up to an 86 if he would get another team of the week card today. And that would get a lot of people very excited for a Tavernier right back. That would be like the old days of Tavernier being OP. What was that, FIFA 20 Tavernier? Or maybe that was even last year in FIFA 21. I don't even know. I'm gonna look this up as we zoom back out. Cause I zoomed in to look at that team of the week prediction. I want to look at Tavernier because that card literally could be insane. Generations, was it last year? It was, man, I was thinking FIFA 20. It's actually FIFA 21. The Tavernier footies card, the headliners Tavernier. Yeah, that was last year, man. I can't keep my ears straight, but that card was nasty and everybody used it. So I'm very curious to see if this card is in team of the week today, what his stats are. Because you give this guy another plus two and that card would look insane. So just watch out for team of the week 11 today. That is gonna be, of course, dropping live in the game. And also along with team of the week 11 and the ones to watch upgrades like Griezmann and Kaliska, if they actually get actual informs, we have our wins to watch upgrades coming once again. There's a lot of names that are getting upgraded this time, but most notably Hakimi and Mr. Lionel Messi. Of course, all the PSG cards they got their fifth win. So Messi is gonna go to a 95, Hakimi is gonna go to an 86. Ramos is gonna get a plus one and Wijnaldum is gonna get upgraded as well. If you did the Wijnaldum OTW-SBC that was out early on in the year, that is gonna be a card that gets upgraded today as well. You know, I've got a couple of these like Uba Makano, Subitzer, Greelish, a bunch of these cards are getting upgraded today. So since the content has been kinda quiet the past two days, you've seen a couple of these cards rise up at how much is Jack Greelish. He was like 19K yesterday. He's now up to about 22,000 coins. I don't really expect a lot of these cards to stay, like to really go up much after they get the upgrade. Yeah, Uba's 241, it's kinda where he's been. I would honestly expect Uba Makano's getting a plus two. That might be one today that gets kids very, very hyped. This is going to an 86. That card's gonna look really, really good after the wins to watch upgrade today. So keep an eye on him. He might have a bit of a Tamori situation, but I feel like for the most part, a lot of these cards, even like a Dumfries as well, right? Dumfries upgrade might look really good. A lot of these cards, in my opinion, would get sold off after the upgrade. Dumfries is gonna go to an 84. It's gonna have a lot more pace. It's gonna go over 90 physical and get into the 80 defending standpoint. So that's not a bad looking card, but I would just sell into the hype and take the safe cash because after the wins to watch upgrade, it was hyped for Tamori the first time, but I think, except for Upp Makano and maybe one or two other cards that get upgrades today, I feel like a lot of the hype has kind of not passed for those cards, but how many of those are really gonna get into people's teams right now? Only a few of them, like that Upp Makano, in my opinion, would really move a lot on the market. So just keeping an eye out for that. Of course, those guys getting upgraded today. I've got a few of those I'm gonna sell into the hype. Also, it's a Wednesday, right? What do we normally see on Wednesdays? We usually see a little bit of a market drop, but everything right now on this market is just so high in price, including some of these signature signings players. Yes, I said it correctly. Guys who watch the streams, I keep saying summer signings. It's not, it's signature signings and I said it correctly, we move. Anyways, these cards without any big content yesterday, the only content that we got was the Footchamps upgrade, which by the way, I gotta say a quick word on this before we talk market for a second. I gotta say a quick word. If you have not, I mean, some of you guys might have already done this, the only cards that I would turn into these Footchamps upgrades, especially the 86 plus, it has an 81 overall, a team overall rating. I would not turn anything in above over 83 for these SBCs, because if you think about it, upcoming in Foot Freeze team of the group stage, but specifically like Footmiss, Foot Freeze timeframe, they start including the Foot Champions players as like Foot Champions players slash Inforums and some of the requirements for the SBCs. And this is like very, very EA-like, right? They want you right now to go submit all of your red Footchamps cards to potentially get one of these 86 plus Footchamps items, which is cool and it's fun, right? But especially for the 84, 85 rated cards that would be most useful in an SBC down the line, that's like 13, 14, 15,000 coins that you're submitting instead of putting into a future like Footmiss or Foot Freeze SBC. So if you wanna think that far ahead and you wanna be, I guess, that efficient with your club, that would be one thing that I'd be very careful of is submitting that stuff and getting it out of your club if it's above 83 rated. You know, if it's the 81s, whatever, right? 81s or discard, you probably can get a discard informed from opening like a couple, two player packs or most of us probably have a discard informed or two in the club, right? So honestly, if it's 83 or below, full send those if you want to, but if it's not, I would just say, wait, I really would because in the next couple of weeks we're gonna have more informs that will come on as well, more players that will be added to the player pool and those footchamps upgrades from what we opened yesterday on stream, they're actually terrible. Like we only got one card or two cards that were over like 88 rated and it was like Tony Cruz. The best poll that we had was Gabriel Jesus and informed Barela from early on team of the weeks. Now I know some people got Neymar and stuff, but that was definitely not what most people were getting. So these cards though, again, yesterday with no content I actually picked up a couple Reuben Diaz three content yesterday at like 280 right around there and sold them all at 320 to 325. That was a W, also the Rodrigos that I bought. I was able to offload those at 330. A couple of them I offloaded at break even before content and then this guy has actually gone up. I think he's about 320 right now, but he was 330 at a point yesterday. This one just made the most sense. I was glad that I made that move and I was glad that I bought a couple of 300 and sold at 330. So that was a nice small flip. And a lot of stuff again is just up, right? I just don't know as we take a look at even some gold cards on this game like Ferlan Mendi, right? Everybody's using this card right now because of the LaLiga links with the Benzem SPC that's got everybody hyped right now. I just don't know if there's gonna be a ton of sell off today. I mean, unless a loading screen comes, which it could, very well could be a loading screen today. I just don't feel like a lot of people don't wanna sell their teams. A lot of people are like, man, Black Friday has happened. I've been panicking for the last two weeks about buying a team. When's the best time to buy? I just wanna have my team and relax for a little bit, right? So I don't know if there's gonna be like a normal Wednesday sell off. I think it depends on if there is a loading screen and if EA surprise us with any other sort of content on today's game. But the market is definitely very hyped moment as a lot of these out of packs cards, a lot of these gold cards have just gone up in price because there's no more supply and there's still a lot of demand because we have a lot of coins on this game at the moment. So that creates kind of a two-fold scenario. It does create a very nice market to trade in. As you see, a lot of people have coins and they're trying cards out, but it also makes it very interesting when you're trading because you're like, man, is this card up? Is this card down? Now, right now, Cordova, with this hero pack that has come out, some of these hero cards have actually bounced up in price a little bit, like Cordova was actually just $5.20. As you saw, people maybe opening their hero packs, they didn't get a Cordova or they didn't get an Abeddi Pillay and these cards are actually up a little bit. Abeddi was $6.50 earlier today and right now he's about $6.80. So up a little bit, but honestly, not that much. Dina Talley as well is up like 20,000 coins. Like I'm pretty sure he was $5.60, now he's $5.80. So the hero pack doesn't really have looked to impact the market that much, but it was also released pretty late. So we'll see into this morning, as this video is released, how that could impact the market a bit more. I wouldn't expect anything crazy. I wouldn't expect these guys' prices to drop a lot at all. Maybe some of you are more lower tier ones, have a few dips in price, maybe like Utenberg, most of the voice stuff like that. If people had them tradable, but I feel like most people don't just, aren't just buying those players because they're, yes, they're new, but they've been out in the game and ready for like two months and people have tried them because they're so cheap. So I don't feel like there's a ton of hype around these cards unless you just packed one of these big boys from your hero upgrade. So I'm excited to open mine. I just don't want to duplicate, right? Please, no duplicate of Betty Palais. Ginola would be fantastic. Of course, that would slot right into the squad as it should everybody's team. But of course, that is the game that everybody's playing today. What will you get in your hero upgrade? So we'll kind of keep a watch for that. And again, will we see that market drop today? I just don't feel like it's gonna be that drastic of one. It's gonna be continually a good day to trade, right? Just pick a couple of these special cards that you see moving around in price a lot. Like Phil Foden is one that I actually haven't traded with yet. But this guy's price moves a lot. Last night, he was like 320K, 325K on some undercut snipes. Right now he's 345, 343. This guy was 355, almost 360 at one point yesterday. So if I could snag one of these Phil Foden's at like a 320 tonight, I know that I'm probably gonna be able to get later into today on Wednesday, probably be able to get somewhere around like 350 or 360. One example is I bought a Rutiger at 346. I think is what I bought him at. And I believe right now he's about, he's almost 370, right? So these out of pack special cards that have just continually crept up in price and icons as well. Icons have been great on fluctuations right now. Again, just because people have coins and they're out and they're using cards. That's a little update on the team. At the moment, I did buy a couple things. Actually just bought some position change and chem styles. It's a very attacking team at the moment. I'm still waiting to get the defense sorted. Veron is decent, but I missed my boy Fellaini in there. I got to play a couple more games to get my division rivals rewards set. But what I was really trying to show you is my transfer targets and this Desi E. This Desi E bounces between like 830 and 890 all the time. So if you snag like an 820 undercut, like I didn't on this card, you can usually sell it around 880. That's like, you know, around 20K profit per card. But if you're looking for a place to trade, the icons and the out of pack specials are great. Just again, it's all about looking at the graphs and finding the cards that people want to buy, buying them on the low, selling them on the high of a fluctuation. And I do feel like after rivals rewards tomorrow, you'll probably see a decent kick up in the market still as people will get some coins from playing with these new teams that they all bought and they might try to go out and upgrade a few of those players in their squad with some new found coins after rivals. So that's going to be very interesting. I also feel like that since, like myself included, since we just came out of a big problem with a ton of things in packs, especially if there is a loading screen today, one of the things I would watch out for would be people saving packs. I think people saving packs is going to create a lot of supply. If there actually is a promo on Friday, I think that's what some, something is a lot of people are going to be saving packs throughout the rest of this week. Since we just came from a problem with a ton of things were in packs, like I just got this 100K pack from Objectives and I'm not opening this until there's something in packs. Like right now, all we have is a team of the week. I'm going to be waiting. So just keeping out for that. If you're included in that, I think it's a smart move to do so. But I just feel like there's not going to be a ton of packs open since people, it feels like the game is quieted down a bit right now since there's nothing crazy in packs like there was. So it's going to be a very interesting Wednesday on this game. New team of the week, potential loading screen, the hero packs being opened up and of course some people are still in here grinding 75 plus player picks, crafting SBCs. That's why you've seen some of the fodder, so to speak. The signature signings players go up like Jimenez, Edwards, 50K for these cards. Wow, they have actually flown. These cards have actually flown because people are still doing with the fodder in their club, 50K for these cards as they've just bombed up in price because there's Kailini, Gelson, Martins, Benzema that are still out in this game that require those items. So GGs, if you got any of those because those are definitely, definitely going up in price like crazy right now at the moment. But up is just how this whole market is right now. Everything is up, everything is high, everything is overpriced or maybe not overpriced as a word. Some things are overpriced but a lot of things are just inflated. So we'll see if any of that changes today with the loading screen. I wouldn't expect any crazy panic selling with a loading screen or anything like that. It would just kind of tell us what we kind of expect is there is going to be a new promo coming on this Friday. So hopefully that promo is team of group stage. Hopefully we get some confirmation on that today but that is the video for today boys. If you did enjoy it, smash the thumbs up on it, comment down below if you have any questions and subscribe if you're new. It's been Nate the Photocown, I will catch you guys later. Peace, out.
