 Hey guys, it's Nate, aka the Foot Accountant. Welcome back to the channel. Another FIFA 20 trading and investing video for you guys on how to make some coins with some early on investments in FIFA Ultimate Team. Now I know I said in a previous video that I don't, I'm not a huge fan of investing early on, which I am not. I think it's all about the trading, about the flipping, getting things into your club, flipping them for a quick profit and getting out to get those coins as high up as you can. But there is a point in this early FIFA stage where I think that if you can trade up to a certain amount of coins, or if you're putting FIFA points in from the start and have coins already, there are some good investments that you can make. And it's the same every year. And this year it's one of those things where we're taking a look at cards that are going out of packs for ones to watch. Now last year, everybody was onto this method and it still worked. We have to be careful, obviously. We're gonna talk about some of those things. This is a very well-known method, investing in gold cards that are going to get ones to watches. But I still think it's gonna work this year because there are 23 cards that will be in ones to watch. And some of those are bound to be good investments. Obviously it takes some risk. We don't know some of the cards that are gonna be in. So we have to take that into consideration. But this should be like the number one way to invest in early on in the game. It's maybe not the number one way, but it is one of the most popular ways because it works and it's proven. So you guys should be able to make a lot of coins using this. We're gonna start talking about right now. First of all, this is a list of the confirmed ones to watch cards that we have already. Jal Felix, Holler, Mr. Hazard, Mr. Jovic, Wambi Saka, Pepe, Jolington, and the other Hazard, Thorgan Hazard from Dortmund. These are guaranteed cards that we know are going to be ones to watches already. There's probably gonna be some sort of leak that comes out leading up like right before ones to watch as well. It's inevitable it happens, but we're gonna have to have our investments in place beforehand, even before that. So we'll talk about that risk and we'll talk about how these guys' prices are gonna be different than maybe some other possible ones to watch cards that we're gonna look at as well. So I wanna start off as always by looking back at last year at some ones to watch cards. And we're gonna start with that Gretzger. We're gonna look at a few cards here and talk through scenarios. It's gonna be a lot of information. So if you need to pause the video, ask a question down in the comments down below for a special situation or something like that, go ahead and do that. I will be down there answering your guys' questions as I usually am for that kind of stuff. So I wanna talk about Gretzger first. Gretzger was a confirmed ones to watch, if I'm remembering correctly, heading into FIFA 19 once to watch promo. So we knew that Gretzger was gonna get a once to watch card. So that means people right away thought, okay, I'm gonna go invest in that card. So the graphs here start around the EA access time period. A couple days after EA access was out. So these card prices are rising up as you see as foot bin starts. But the main thing I wanna point out here to you guys is the time period where it is the best time to buy these investments as well. I didn't mention that right away. The best time to buy these investments for most of these cards is Tuesday. That gives you a chance to buy in. If you're buying back here on Friday, you're missing out on four days, five days of trading that you can do with that card sitting on your transfer list that you're just waiting five days for that card to go up in price where you could have used those coins to trade and make coins. So I'm not gonna be investing in really anything. Maybe a couple of this card informs a couple of gold cards right away. I'm not gonna be investing heavily or even thinking about doing some investing stuff until the Monday and day after Tuesday. So like Monday night into Tuesday of the pre-orders. So this is people that bought the Ultimate Edition or the Champions Edition. That comes out on Monday the 20th, I don't know what day it is this year. So whatever day it is, 2019 Monday before three days before the game comes out fully. Before the full release of the game. I think it's the 24th this year. Is it the 24th last year as well? That's crazy. I think it's the 24th this year. When the full game comes out. So you see here Tuesday on the 25th. So the day after that rolls out. That's kind of like the best time to buy because the game is rolling out across the world and you have people opening up packs on their pre-order. They start putting in FIFA points. People that didn't play EA access are putting in those FIFA points and they're getting onto the game. It's kind of like the game, people come onto the game in waves. You have a few people that come on during the web app period. You have another set of people that come on during the EA access period which is shortly after web app. And then you have another wave of people come on during the pre-order access or early access. And then the biggest wave of people comes at the full game release. That's when a lot of the casuals get the game and stuff like that. So the buy opportunity for these ones to watch is during that early access. Not EA access, early access. The pre-order access folks when those people get onto the game. That is a big buy time for a lot of these gold cards because that is shortly before they go out of packs for ones to watch and they get a lot of supply from packs being opened in that timeframe. And that's why you see this dip on Tuesday for Gretzger. And that's kind of the buy time for a lot of these cards. But what I wanna talk about here is Gretzger was known. Gretzger was a guaranteed ones to watch like we know about these cards right here. Joe Felix, Holler, Hazard, Pepe, Jollington, all those guys, he was known about. His price, 37K when the flip and graph starts registering it. He goes up to 43K on Monday, drops back down to 38K which is almost the same price as he was Friday a couple days before. And then he goes back up to 43, 44,000 coins on Friday when the ones to watch would have come out and his gold card would have actually went out of packs. Obviously this was heavily invested in though because it started to actually trickle downwards from there as he was in packs because people invested in this card and they knew that he was getting the ones to watch. They knew that he was gonna be going out of packs and the over-investing was real and this card price basically stayed the same or went down. So I wanna first talk to you guys about this right now. Cards that are guaranteed in this ones to watch, they're probably not going to be the best investments for this time period that I'm talking about. Got like Joe Felix, Holler, Hazard, Jovich, all these guys. The best time to sell those guys, if you wanna invest in those guys that's gonna be like something that you would buy during the web app or EA Access and you would sell right here on this date on the day like the time just before everybody would be getting their pre-order access. When EA Access ends and pre-order access opens up that's when you would wanna sell just before that time period. Kind of like selling into the hype basically for some of these cards are gonna go out of packs and the other sell time could be Thursday. I would say Thursday the day before the once watch promo is probably a safe time to sell into the hype as well. As a lot of people are gonna be investing in this stuff this year. So if you choose to invest in one of these cards, obviously we don't know how cheap they're gonna be. Maybe Joe Felix comes out and he's like, his price cap is 10,000 coins and he's on the market for AK. Obviously he's 80 rated, he's gonna get a lot of supply but that's kind of a situation where, well first of all, if you don't wanna mess with price range updates. We learned that last year with Joe Cancelo, you don't wanna mess with price range updates because EA takes a long time to do that especially early on in the game and it seems like they're just trying to not let us make coins and update price ranges. So I would stay away from something like that if that would happen. But if somebody's just way too low, let's say Pepe is like, maybe he's like 20K. I feel like that would be pretty low for that card considering the hype and the card that is a very, very good card. I would consider that probably too low. Maybe even like 15K to get even lower than that. Even crazier. I would still, if you see those prices during the web app or during EA access, I would still take the money on Monday. You might be able to read by on Tuesday with some hype and sell again on Thursday. But again, for the cards that are guaranteed in, so those cards that we've been looking at, I would be very careful with those cards. The big money comes in cards that are technically not guaranteed but are almost guaranteed. Last year, Fred, I don't know what's up with Flip-In by the way. I need to get some different ad blocker because it's crazy the ads that are on here and what it does to my Chrome web browser. But Fred, last year during the EA access was around 18, 19,000 coins. You can see on Sunday, he had a low of 18,000. Monday, he was 19. When the pre-order stuff came out, he actually kept going up in price, kind of leveled out on Thursday at 23. And then he exploded out of packs as he was a confirmed ones to watch all the way up to 34,000 coins. Now, I think the reason why people were kind of scared with Fred and you saw a little bit of this level off, people sold the card before once the watch came out because they weren't sure if he was gonna actually get it. And he was an 82 rated card at 23,000 coins. Yes, he's hyped up, but he's 82 rated and he's 23K. That is a high price for such a low rated card on the game with that high of a pack wake. And that's another thing that scares me about a guy like Joe Felix, a guy like Joe Wellington, even a guy kind of like Wambi Saka is they're low rated. Yes, they're gonna have some hype. Yes, people are very hyped about those cards. People love United, people love Arsenal, people love Joe Felix. He's been tearing it up. But still, the pack weight in FIFA is a big, big determinant of how high these cards rise. And we're gonna see that in a couple later cards. So a guy that I could see being comparable to Mr. Fred this year would be 10 guy and Don Bailey, 81 rated cards. So he's still low, but he's got the hype. He's French, a lot of French, really good starter teams that you can make this year. And he's got the skills. He's got four star skills, three star weak foot, medium, medium work rates, which is okay, but he's got great dribbling statistics, good stamina, good passing. His finishing is not that good at 59, but he's gonna be a great box-to-box midfielder. And this is a card that a lot of people are hyped about because he is a cheap beast, well, cheap. So if you see this in Don Bailey cards somewhere in the game, early on in the EA access range, you see that pre-order time period kickoff. And he's down here at like 15K. If he's like 15,000 coins, I think that's a steal of a buy for that card. I think he could very easily go up to 25 or 30K out of packs. But I think a lot of people are expecting him to get a once-to-watch, but I see it's a similar situation as Fred from last year. So that's one to keep an eye on. And of course, you're assuming some risk when you invest in these cards. Obviously, they're not guaranteed a once-to-watch. If he does not get a once-to-watch, you're gonna see a lot of panic selling happen from that card. You're probably gonna lose some coins because people are gonna be investing in him with you. And they're gonna be all selling once they realize that he's not getting a once-to-watch. Next person I wanna look at is Ried Márez. Another once-to-watch that was known about before FIFA 19 came out. This was a guaranteed once-to-watch that we knew about. And look what happens with his price. From the EA access and web app time period, he goes swooping up to 51,000 coins on the day of the pre-order release. And he never, 59,000 coins. And he never reaches that point again. He goes out of packs on Friday, 56K. The panic selling and the over-investing sell-off ensues and he drops back down. And this is how you're gonna be able to tell if a card is super-duper over-invested in just because of their amount of rise. Márez is an 85-rated card. Yes, it's a good card. Five-star skills, four-star weak foot, not a lot of right wings in the Premier League, just a few, a few ones up there. And he was a good middle-tier range card. But you see him go from 30,000 coins. Iron Váin Márez for 30K during earlier EA access before flipping graphs or registering. And I sold it right at 50K, because I knew that, okay, this man just went from 30,000 coins to 50K. He's an 85-rated card in the Premier League. There are plenty of other options for people to use. He's a guaranteed once-to-watch. Take the money on those types of cards. If you see this type of rise, the card almost doubled in a matter of over the weekend. From Friday to Monday, he goes to 59K from 38K. And he was even lower than that before that, as I was explaining. That's a situation where you just have to realize that the card has gone up so much. If you had a couple Márez in your transfer list, if you invested early, that's where you gotta sell. Or if you're in this situation here on Tuesday where you see he was 59K, today he's dropped to 53, but you're like, man, he was 38K just a couple days ago. I don't know if I can invest in that card. And I would say you're correct in not wanting to invest in a card like that. So that's something I want you guys to be very careful of with this too, is just knowing which of these cards have already risen so much already that they are over-hyped and that they are going to be over-invested in, because that's the biggest issue with this type of investing early on in FIFA. You're gonna have to combat the over-investing because a lot of people are gonna be doing this because they know it's good and easy and it's a great way to invest early on in this game. So that's what I wanted to talk about with Mr. Ríad Márez. Now, the biggest mover, yes, this is the biggest mover in terms of percentages from gold cards that went out of packs during Ones to Watch. Nine Golan, he was not confirmed and you're gonna see a trend here. The ones that are not confirmed that aren't confirmed beforehand. So not these guys, Hazard Jovic, none of these guys. The guys that are not confirmed are the guys that shoot up the most because people, when it's confirmed, we know they're getting the Ones to Watch. So more and more people invest in those cards and it creates over-investing. Not with these guys that are not confirmed. Obviously it's a risk, but you can kind of take a calculated risk because you know, okay, Nine Golan, he's in a Serie A for FIFA 19, he was in the Serie A, he was on Inter Milan and you know, okay, how many good Serie A midfielders are there, like Cams, Center Mids or CDMs? You kind of look, you have Matuiti, you have a couple other guys in there, but you're like, okay, this is a very all-rounded, well-rounded card. He fits the meta of this game. He's been good in years past. People know who this guy is. He gets a Ones to Watch card, you know he transferred, you're thinking, okay, this is a possible Ones to Watch situation. He goes from 78,000 coins on Friday, rises up into Monday, right before the pre-order access people get on the game, dips down to 92K on Tuesday and look where he goes out of packs. 145,000 coins is where this card goes to out of packs. That's just ridiculous because people were not, I don't think many people were expecting Nine Golan to get a card. I remember talking to people last year at the beginning of the year, they bought like one Nine Golan but they bought more Allicens, they bought more Edderson's, they bought guys like that. Edderson obviously didn't get in, Allison did but a guy like Nine Golan, people didn't invest a lot in him because he was too expensive but that's why you see this rise stay continued and it's a little bit later. So he went out of packs here on Friday and he stayed high. You know, he stayed at 140,000 coins because this was a card that a lot of people wanted to use in their teams. The gold card and people realized that with this card being out of packs, he lost, you have to think about it this way too. Some of these Ones to Watch cards stay higher because yes, the market gains more coins and people are playing week in week and getting rewards but also that card lost a week of time in packs where a lot of other cards were in packs and if it's a very good card, people are willing to pay that extra price for it. That's why you see this Nine Golan card go from 78,000 coins even lower than that in the early EA access stages up to 144,000 coins. So how can you find cards like that this year? Part of the key to why Nine Golan went up so much was because he was in 85 rated. He has low pack weight compared to some of those 81s and 82s and he's very popular, good linking and he's very meta. So we're gonna start looking at some FIFA 20 players where we can talk about some of this stuff and look at some guys this year that I'm interested in and talk about some of the guys that are included and wants to watch. Wambi Saka again, I wanna revisit this. Wambi Saka is 79 rated. A lot of people are probably gonna wanna invest in this card. Four star skills, like what? English, right back, Manchester United. Well, we know what happened last year with a Manchester United player. So I would expect Wambi Saka to be, somebody that a lot of people invest in this year. I would think that his graph would be close to Gretzgrim but he's guaranteed. So I think also that he's gonna be similar to our friend Mares right here. Mares went down a lot. There's gonna be a lot of people that are gonna buy a lot of Wambi Saka expecting him to continue to go up in price. I would take the safe way out with this guy, all right? I would take the safe way out with Wambi Saka. If you're investing in him during the EA access stages, I would sell before we get the supply of this card on the market on this Monday or three days before the early access, pre-order access, I would sell the day before then leading up to that period just to get him out and take your safe coins, whatever he has risen to then. Then just kinda watch his price. If he dips down a ton on Tuesday, maybe people realize that he was overpriced and a lot of supply came out of the market. That would almost make me scared too realizing how much supply came out of the market then but you can just kinda monitor his price. Maybe you can pick up a couple on Tuesday and sell them on Thursday before he would go out of packs for once to watch but since he is a guaranteed card, I am a bit skeptical about Wambi Saka. I like Endon Bailey a lot more but it really depends on how much his price rises from this point of when the graph comes into play here, we're looking at Fred again as our example. This is Fred from FIFA 19. It all depends on how cheap Endon Bailey is during EA access and how much he climbs up to the top here before that first day. So like Monday or Tuesday when we're looking to buy these cards, when the pre-order access is out and people are opening packs, pushing supply onto the market. If his price is like 19K and then by Monday it's 30K, steer clear, stay away. An 81 rated card at 30,000 coins. Yes, he's meta. Yes, he's Premier League but don't even touch that, please. Don't even touch that, all right? Yes, he might go up a little bit more but not much because that's way, way inflated. Sell into the hype on a situation like that but if you see him down here like 10 to 15K during EA access and the web app access maybe he goes up to almost 20K on this Monday time period right here but then on Tuesday he drops back down to like 15. He drops down a couple thousand coins then you take some action, you buy a couple of them, put them on your transfer list and he might just be 30,000 coins or 25K maybe when he goes out of packs or even on Thursday before he would go out of packs if you feel like there's a lot of people investing in that card which I think there would be taking the safe money ahead of time and just getting it out. That's one thing that I wanna mention right now too with the mindset of early on FIFA you don't wanna get super duper risky early on in FIFA with an investment like this because you don't have coins to fall back on. If you dump, let's say you have 200,000 coins and you dump 100K into endon balay so let's say you buy five, that's probably not 100K but you put half your coins in endon balay you have five of them, maybe you have like 150,000 coins and you put whatever 75K into endon balay and endon balay goes from that price range of like 15 to 17K and he drops down to 10K and you're losing 5,000 coins a card that's a big L to take in early on FIFA so early on in FIFA when you're in the profit and you're in the good money and if endon balay goes from 15K to 27K get them out, seriously take the money that's doubling the money on your card even if he goes from 15 to 23K that's solid money, get out, take the money and continue to use those coins to trade into flip those cards and continually to make coins because it's not the best idea to be super duper risky early on in the game, yes you want to make coins and you have to take risks to make coins but taking a huge risk like that is just not a smart move early on in the game with a card like this because of the pack weight that's the thing that I'm scared about here these low rated guys are so hit or miss because of the pack weight you really have to depend on a lot of hype now, moving into more high rated player I think this guy is flying under the radar big time this year I know he did not transfer to a major club Real Batiste is not a major major club but he came from Lyon, he's French and he's in La Liga if this man gets a once to watch card I see him being so similar to 9-Golan going from a pretty respectable price 9-Golan would be probably more inflated than his Fakir card would be this Fakir card, he's French and he is in La Liga think about how many other French La Liga cards that you could link him with that could make some sick hybrids you got Usman Dembele, right wing from Barcelona you have Griezmann you have Faran Langlet so many French guys in La Liga that need a center mid counterpart to link him to this is the guy to do it with this is basically if you're doing like a hybrid squad this is a guy for La Liga that you're gonna get a lot of links from this year and if he gets a once to watch card if you see this card at like 10,000 coins during EA access periods or again during that time frame when all the packs are opened after when the pre-order people come onto the game that wave essentially that's a screaming buy to me 10,000 coins for an 84 rated Fakir card now in La Liga obviously he's not guaranteed a once to watch but I think once to watch could be very La Liga heavy this year you have a couple guys from Real Madrid already confirmed I think you're gonna have two guys in Griezmann and De Young from Barcelona confirmed and I think Fakir could be another person that gets into here and of course with Jal Felix as well I think we could have six guys from La Liga now that's almost too much in my mind but La Liga could have a huge presence and wants to watch this year if Fakir gets in I think he could be a massive, massive investment if you don't think he's gonna get in maybe you sell him a hype anyway he's gonna be a very usable card if he is like 10,000 coins it all depends on his price early on in FIFA we'll be monitoring that and talking about all these cards that are possible once to watches as we get closer to that date but just monitor his price and if he is at a point where it looks investable we'll definitely talk about it and make some moves last one I wanna talk about is Schultz Dortmund already has one guaranteed wants to watch player in Thorgan Hazard 82 rated right wing card from the Bundesliga Brandt is also another possible wants to watch but you know I think the Schultz card could pull it off and the thing that could be big about Schultz is the fact that he is a left back in the Bundesliga he at his main competition he is the, he's top tier left back in the Bundesliga you have David Alba who is gonna be overpriced and his stats aren't very good for the price that you're gonna pay for this card this Schultz card probably is gonna be somewhere around like the 10 to 15k range if I had to guess Rusillian would be in there as well maybe a smidge higher but the Schultz card plays great in the demo when I've used him he's gonna be German, great links to a guy like Gretzgera to a guy like Havertz who's very popular Brandt has a good card and he's gonna be great for Bundesliga squads Bundesliga triangles on the left side so I see this guy as maybe a sleeper pick maybe he's less than 10,000 coins and then you can pounce on that card and sell him and make some money on that because that's the huge thing with these wants to watch cards that are low rated yes they have the hype he's gonna have the hype as a left back but it all depends on if he gets that wants to watch card and that's the gambling and the guessing game with all this so again I wanna go over some of the time periods again looking at some of these older graphs again we're gonna look at Fred for this one obviously you see that the prices are gonna rise let's go with this one right here prices are gonna rise up into Monday or the day before the pre-order release like right here pre-order FIFA 20 the day before the pre-order release you're gonna see the prices rising up into that point then they're probably gonna take a dip on the next day because a lot of people are coming out of the game in opening packs that's the pre-order release again that's the ultimate that's the optimal time to invest in some of these cards because in my opinion you shouldn't be doing much investing before that maybe buy a card or two throw it in your transfer list because you got a stupid deal on it in one of the first two days of early access or web app but other than that I think the most economical time to invest is even after they've risen up a little bit to be honest some of these cards will be higher than what they were during EA access earlier on but you're knowing and you're realizing that more people are coming onto the game there's more demand for that card there's more hype for that card and that card could rise up in price and that Tuesday is a first batch of supply you can buy on Tuesday you can sell on Thursday it's a great quick turnaround with some of those cards that are gonna be super hyped up you can buy Tuesday, Monday night and then buy Monday night or Tuesday and then sell on Thursday into the hype or continue you can hold your balls as some people say in the trading community you can hold your balls and hold your cards and hope that he rises as he goes out of packs now that would be a better situation for some of the higher cards like we saw with nine goal on as an 85 rated he has less supply but he's also gonna have more demand as we go another week in FIFA Ultimate Team as people continue to get coins from trading from playing games and from rewards so again you're looking at buy times during the pre-order period and you're looking to sell times right before once to watch or holding your balls and selling a couple days after once to watch probably on that Sunday as people are building their teams or continuing to play and getting stuff like that now obviously this is a very big method of investing this is a very long video I wanted to make it long and I wanted to make it very specific for you guys because this is a method of investing that a lot of people are gonna be into and I wanted to prepare you guys for it I'm gonna be investing in some of these cards I wanted to show you the risk I wanted to show you the possible reward and I wanted to show you and just talk about everything that could come along with some of these early investments in FIFA 20 Ultimate Team we'll have another video talking about this a little bit later once to watch investing as we get closer to that day and probably after the EA access is out we'll be looking at some prices and seeing what cards are going to be good to invest in one last thing I'm gonna mention to you guys just do some Google searching look at this is transfermarket.us transfermarket.us and it has a listing of all of the biggest transfers that happened over the summer obviously there's plenty of guys that could get into once to watch that I didn't mention before Lucas Hernandez, Cenerback, Tobayrn, Philip Coutinho Tobayrn, Delict, to Juve, Eckhardy to PSG, Romulo Lukaku to Enter, stuff like that educate yourself with some of the possibilities of cards that could just even make it into once to watch there's a plethora of them this year there's a huge field, a lot of hype players and a lot of cool cards that we could see get once to watches this year of course you guys might have questions drop them down below I will be down there answering them and we'll be talking about this in future videos and on my streams check out my other links in the description as well if you enjoyed the video smash a thumbs up on it I would greatly appreciate it and of course subscribe to the channel if you are new it's been Nate the Foot Accountant catch you guys later peace out
