 Hey guys, it's Nate, AKA the Foot Accountant. Welcome back to the channel. It's Monday. We need to look at the market on FIFA Ultimate Team for this week and heading into the big promotion of Team of the Season. Talk about a few things regarding what's going on, SBC-wise this week, what's in packs, as well as what we're going to be seeing is with Team of the Season content coming up this week. And probably I would imagine at some point this week we're going to get some more information about Team of the Season regarding the Team of the Season most consistent. You know, EA likes to drop those web pages, those Twitter posts where they have a web page that kind of takes you to EA's website and talks about, all right, this is what's going to happen during Team of the Season. We've seen it already this year with almost every promo. They've had a website page talk about what's going to come during the promo, SBC-wise, in the players and packs as well as the objectives they've all kind of talked about and given us a layout for each promo this year in that manner and in that way. So for this video though, I want to focus on more of the market stuff. We know that Team of the Season is coming and that's going to be the focus and the emphasis of this video. Now obviously we're going to take a look at Footbin because Footbin has all the graphs that we need to decipher what is going on with the market right now. At the time of me recording this, this is actually just like an hour after the game has come back up after being down all weekend and I do believe that it is still, matchmaking is still down. You cannot actually play the game, which a lot of people are mad about. Let me see if I can get into a game right here of rivals. No, matchmaking is still disabled. So this weekend has just been an entire mess of the EA servers and PSN going down as well and just a big time mess with the servers being down, gameplay and matchmaking being disabled that a lot of people, I'm just really fed up over it. I bet it's pushing a lot of people away from the game but it was just ill poor timing with Team of the Season coming up soon but the hype is going to begin to build back up again this week. EA is going to tweet about it more. They're going to post more graphics. They're going to see more pictures, more concepts on Twitter. A lot of people are actually, there is some motivation right now to go get this 100,000 coin pack from the weekly objectives. You see man of the matches that are up high and everything like that. But once the weekend league is done and you're going to start seeing people finish their games, I don't know when they're going to finish them because there's not been a lot of time to play this weekend, you're going to start to see the market go down. Now back over here to flip in and take a look at the Index 100. We saw the market get pretty low last week and it really hasn't gotten that low since. It's actually risen up a good bet. You know, 57 points on Friday. We're up here now at 65 points currently on Sunday evening as I record this video. But I think it's definitely going to get back down to this point in the next week or so. I think you're going to see again a lot of a sell-off in your high tier meta players that rebounded this weekend and a lot of those players rebounded. You got Ronaldo that it was nine, he was actually nine 20. FupinGraf here doesn't show his lowest point. Early in the week he was 920K and actually reached a million at one point Thursday and Friday this weekend. I would imagine that a lot of these cards continue to start to go down and continue going down through the week, starting today on Monday as people finish their games and sell their teams. And you know, it could start now when I'm recording this on Sunday night because people are getting on the game. They can't even play a game. Some people might just be giving up on the weekend league if we don't get another extension. It's all kind of a mess. So there's just a lot of negativity around that right now as well. But market-wise, I think this week is going to be a down, down, down week on the market. Now the interesting thing is going to be towards the end of the week with team of the season most consistent. Now for a lot of cards last year, stuff kept dropping. Obviously if we look on the market, a lot of meta cards, like some team of the years and stuff like that, even like a gold Cristiano Ronaldo, like we looked up on foot bin, a lot of that stuff continued going down when we look at graphs from last year. It continued going down after the team of the season most consistent because a lot of people were aware, this is just the most consistent team of the season and this is not the big time team of the season, Premier League team of the season that everybody is going to get pumped about, going to get hyped about and want to spend all their coins on and build their teams for. But this kind of leads me to talk to you guys about when is the best time to buy your teams. So obviously there's going to be a lot of people that are trying out cards during this team of the season most consistent period and that's basically all that they're going to do. They're going to try out a few cards, maybe do some SBCs and possibly invest. A lot of people will be investing during a team of the season most consistent which is actually a pretty good idea because some of those lower tier team of the season cards will get to almost discard and we saw last year they were required in almost every SBC that gave out a guaranteed TOTS player and we're definitely going to look into that this year as well because I think that is a very feasible and a very possible option again. So we'll look into investing in those later in the week as we talk through some things. But this week is basically just a week to get your coins liquid. If you're going to trade, do some quick ins and outs. Of course, the flipping is the best way. I say this all the time but the flipping is the best way to make coins during the week and I always talk about man of the match cards as well. I'm a broken record talking about man of the match cards but these cards have extra demand right now because of the weekly objective, the domestic man of the match cards because people are doing everything that they can to get packs for team this season and here's another way to do it. Weekly objective, you complete all of these weekly objectives, you get 100K pack and I believe, yeah, here's the one, you know, it's this one. Score five goals using domestic man of the match players in squad battles on a minimum professional difficulty to earn a mega pack. So you get a mega pack from this, you get 100K pack from this, premium goal players pack. I mean, they put some decent packs in here and it's making people interested in going and doing that SBC or excuse me, doing those daily objectives. So that's what keeps the demand on the man of the match cards. Thursday flipping, we're gonna kind of have to keep that in mind as well. Is that going to be a good thing to do this week? I'm not sure. We're gonna have to be careful with that. I'm not sure how many people we'll be buying headed into community team this season and then Friday it's gonna be interesting as well to see what actually comes out with the start of team this season. Are they gonna release upgrade packs the first day? Are they gonna release upgrade SBCs to get a guaranteed team this season player the first day or are they just gonna put it in the team in packs and stuff like that? So that's what I'm really interested to see this week. Just get more information on team this season as we go throughout the week. Now obviously, SBC wise in the store today we get this Mena, Mena, SBC. Very nice card super sub. It's pretty cheap, you know, 83 rated squad and an inform. Those are team of the season, ESC stats. So that is a nice card if you wanna do it. If you're a fan of the League of MX, definitely get that card and do it. It looks like a pretty solid super sub as well and just to try them out. I mean, you can do a lot more wrong for 30,000 coins. And then if you're looking for Van Dyke, you know what, I'm gonna check this out because I'm interested to see where his price has gone. I know that the SBC for Antonio Valencia has made his price go up some because Valencia is about 225K. I think that will drop but it has caused some of the high rated golds to go up in price. They go over here to Fupin, young player of the year, young player of the year. So Van Dyke is about the same at 1.03 mil, 1.09 on PS, and then 1.1 for Sterling and 1.2 for Sterling on PS. So again, if you're looking to do Valencia or if you're looking to do Van Dyke still, if you're waiting for the absolute lowest point for these cards, Van Dyke will still be available when team of the season most consistent actually starts. And so will Valencia. So we could see a lot of packs being open at that time. Some people might just give in and open some of their stage packs. Other people might hit some lightning rounds to just get more coins before team of the season actually comes. The big leagues. So we could see a drop in the price of these SBC. So if you're waiting to do Valencia, if you've got the loan version from Weekly Objectives or if you've done the loan version of VVD and you wanna do the big time version, the real version, that's an option for you guys as well as to wait until later in the week to get that kind of stuff. Well, this is just gonna be one of those weeks where me being a little bit more cautious, I wanna kind of take a step back. Don't wanna get too involved with investing. I'll do the quick flip trading, but I have the most coins that I've ever had. I don't wanna do anything too risky in a market that's gonna be trending down to risk them that much. And we haven't really started to see that sell off yet on the market just because of how the things have worked this weekend with nobody being able to get on the game. But in the next 24 hours or so, I do believe into this week, you're gonna see the market drop off more, especially as they announce more things for a team this season. But one other thing that I wanna talk about this week that you guys should 100% start doing is starting to plan. Planning is a huge point of team this season and we're gonna release more planning videos this week on the channel talking about investments and especially investments around team building. Wow, that is low, 5.5 mil for Mr. Ronaldo. That's what I like to see. Come on, get down there, son. Come on. Oh my goodness, yes, Ramos is low as well. All right, some of these team years are getting lower and I like that a lot. I like that a lot because that makes me think about building teams and planning those teams out and that's what I wanted to point out to you guys right now. Start to think about and build up and put together teams that you want to have. Well, you know, a lot of people wanna build teams. I mean, look at this Black Friday squad that I have. A lot of people want to build teams. Wow, this is an old squad. Anyways, I'm getting distracted from my own point. A lot of people are wanting to build teams during this team this season promo. They've got their coins liquid. They've got plenty of things that they wanna do on this game and build a team is one of them and you know, I'm in that same boat as well. I need to make a concept squad this week of, okay, what players do I want in my team that is my end game team? And that's what you guys should really do this week is start to plan that stuff out and then start to get familiar with those cards prices. Now for me, I know that I wanna have team of your name art left wing in my final end game team during the team this season as well as the right wing and bop a team of the year card only if the player of the year version is not a higher rated card. So I wanna have these two guys on my team. So I'm gonna make a concept squad with both of those guys and it start to dream up my team and then start to get to know their prices and watch them drop throughout the week and then start to monitor those prices and just get familiar with them and then kind of get the knowledge with those prices and you can start formulating a pattern and a decision to when you wanna buy your team because planning is a huge part of when you're wanting to build a team. So many people go and panic buy teams on Fridays when promos come out they panic sell them before the promo and they buy them back a few hours later after the promo comes out. So again, if you start to play in your end game team whatever that may look like for you with icons with team of the year cards with doing an icon moments, SBC and watching the gold market to see where the gold player prices go. That's one thing as well that you wanna keep a careful watch on. A lot of these icons are just crazy, crazy low because there's just not a lot of demand for them as people can do the SBCs for a lot cheaper 1.3 million there for Luis Figo, pretty cheap card. But yeah, make sure you're planning this week. That's the biggest thing early on in the week take some time, take an hour or so or spend some time planning out what you want your squad to look like. What you want your end game team to look like so that you can get familiar with those prices and know what players you wanna watch in the final weeks here which is such a big team building part of the year. Now my preview videos already where we've looked at the market you've seen that there's a lot of good investments and things go up during team season because people build teams. Same thing's gonna happen this year people are gonna be building teams even after the start of Premier League Tots. So this week is when we kinda watch the market go low and then next week as we see the market heading into team this season, Premier League if they continue with the same order as always doing Premier League first that's when we're gonna be looking to buy a lot of our cards because there's gonna be some hype from the Community Tots and then the Premier League Tots is gonna be upcoming and that's where we're gonna see a lot of the hype and more selling of some cards and we'll be able to make some investments as well during that period. We'll talk about more of that stuff coming later this week we're gonna talk about when to buy your teams when to hopefully you've sold your team honestly your big mega team buying teams I think it's a very important point and I wanna focus on that here in the next week or so because I wanna buy a team as well and we're gonna talk about upgrade packs, investments, gold investments, SBCs that are still out here in the store as well and tons of other stuff related to team this season but for this week on the market I'm thinking another downturn kind of similar to what we saw a couple weeks ago I don't think it'll be this drastic though you know see here we went from 80 points on Wednesday to 65 on Saturday with the start of the team the knockout stage promotion I don't think we're gonna see that drastic of a drop but I do think by the middle of this week maybe Wednesday or Thursday we'll see the market back down here around 57 points with a lot of the higher rated stuff going back down to where it was at this low point and then it's gonna continue to go lower next week and that's gonna be the fun time where we look at buying teams and a lot of stuff like that so if you have any questions drop them down below I'm pretty open to answering questions down there as always like the videos if you enjoyed them and subscribe to the channel if you are new it's been Nate, The Foot Accountant catch you guys later, peace out
