 Hey guys, it's Nate, A.K.A. The Foot Accountant. Welcome back to the channel. Black Friday is ending today. At least the cards are going out of packs as this pro kind of comes to a close after the crazy weekend. But yesterday was just as crazy with a couple things that happened later on in the day. Yesterday, the content wasn't that crazy. I'm gonna talk about the panic buying that actually happened after there was a quote unquote non-tent day yesterday where not a lot of stuff came out in the game. We were talking about that Black Friday pack. It never was dropped, no preview packs, and really only a very few amount of lightning rounds as well, like there was an 85 plus star pack that was a lightning round. But at least for like 6, 7, 8 p.m. UK, there were no lightning rounds. So that was very interesting. Of course the flash SBCs were done. A couple of things I wanna talk about today are the free pack that is gonna be given out for hero items that if you ordered, they pre-ordered the ultimate edition of the game really early this year for FIFA 22. A lot of people have been looking forward to December 1st to get that free hero unshraidable. Now I know we've already had the hero upgrade pack out multiple times, it's even out in this game right now. That might cause a few market movements which we will talk about in this video today as well, along with the insane market movements that we saw yesterday with the road to the knockout cards because EA actually went out and upgraded some road to the knockout cards on this game which was totally unexpected. And it was weird because they only upgraded the ones that have actually gotten their three wins. So this was only like the first of two technical upgrades that some of these cards are going to get because I guess they're not gonna upgrade the rest of the items until they've actually secured their place in the knockout stages. But that was absolutely a disaster class yesterday because they also messed up some price ranges when they did that. So there's a lot to talk about heading into today on Tuesday as well. We didn't see that Black Friday pack. Could they drop that today? I mean, that's another question mark. It would be weird since the promo is ending, but who knows? So the first thing I wanna talk about though is that hero pack because that is coming tomorrow and I feel like it's kind of sneaking up on a lot of people because a lot of people aren't thinking about heroes right now. They're thinking about Black Friday, the signature signings cards. But if you pre-ordered the FIFA 22 Ultimate Team, like FIFA 22 Ultimate Edition, if you pre-ordered it before, I think it was like in August, one of the pre-order benefits that you got was getting a foot hero player item untradable on December 1st. This was the graphic you can see right here. So again, tomorrow on Wednesday is going to be the day when these foot hero player item, I guess it's gonna be kind of like how they did the ones to watch earlier on this year. Whether it's like, it's kind of like a pack, but it's, you know, like one player in it, that's it. That is what we will be expecting tomorrow on Wednesday. Now how's that gonna impact the market? Well, like we've seen with some other packs like this before, if there is any panic selling on the higher tier end of the cards, right? Ginola, Joe Cole, Robbie Keen, Abedi Pillay, Cordoba, or Dean and Tally. Like those kind of like top five or top six players that are actually worth a decent amount of coins on this game. If there's any panic selling on some of those cards, just like the ones to watch packs, the weight on this is probably not gonna be that good. So if people are selling off some of those cards today or even tomorrow before we get that pack, I think that's a huge opportunity where you could look to pick up on some of that panic on cards like, again, those top six that we mentioned. The ones that people are, you know, most used to using are the highest demand hero cards because, you know, for a lot of these people, myself included, that are gonna be getting this hero item today, it's most likely not going to be showing up as an Abedi Pillay or a Ginola or a Cordoba or a Joe Cole for a lot of people. You know, you're probably gonna see a lot of Yunbergs, Mario Gomez, Mosta Voy, a lot of the lower tier cards, which are like 20K and some of them are actually SPC fodder, like Algebraire 13K, that's literally SPC fodder for an 86 rated card, which is crazy. So I just wanted to talk about this pack a little bit because a lot of people are gonna be getting this pack. Now I don't know how many is a lot. I mean, I know there's a ton of people that pre-ordered the game before December 1st. It's gonna be more of your, I guess, hardcore user base on this game. Not all of the casuals, of course, even got the Ultimate Edition of FIFA or remembered to pre-order it before August 11th, which is really early, like a month, plus two weeks before the game actually comes out. So I still think there's gonna be a lot of these hero packs that will get distributed out, but it's not, in terms of the casual user base, probably not as many, it's not like everybody is getting a free pack tomorrow. So just watch out for some movements because if you do see panic selling, these packs will not be tradable, right? It's gonna be untradable. So especially for a guy like a Robbie Keen, a Betty Pelé, Ginola, or Cordoba, Joe Cole, any of those cards that carry any value on this market, if there's panic selling, that could be a potential opportunity to get involved with a quick flip, right? People sell a Betty Pelé because they think they're gonna pack him, they don't, they go back out and buy him, boom, it's as easy as that. So I would watch out for that movement coming tomorrow on this game, and I wanted to start by just kind of talking about that because I know a lot of you guys are getting that pack as well. So let's talk about yesterday on the market, though, as we head into Tuesday with the end of Black Friday, and just also what's going on with this promo, right? The best of team of the week, team two, and all of the signature signings cards are gonna be out of packs today. They're gonna be out of packs at 6 p.m., they're done. I would expect to see the promo packs basically stop or really quiet down because basically now you're gonna have just team of the week in packs and all the hype for crafting SBCs, doing the player pick upgrade packs, even though these SBCs are still live for a couple days, like two days remaining, two days remaining for a lot of these upgrades, like this is the final, these are the final hours of these packs being legit grindable and actually worth any sort of value. So it's interesting to see some of them go away. Now EA did add this 81 to 87 upgrade pack yesterday, also a repeatable 82 plus. I think besides that there was like an 80 plus or 81 plus triple upgrade that they put out yesterday too, just a very small SBC in the grand scheme of things. So yesterday was kind of a non-tent day and when we saw yesterday at the content drop that there was not a lot going on on the game yesterday. You saw a ton of people were kind of go out and they started panic buying. They started panic buying in the signature signings. I keep messing it up. I keep saying summer signings. I don't know what it is, it's signature signings. Anyways, people went out and they panic bought these cards because they know they're going out of packs today and they thought, man, they're going to be their cheapest in packs. I 100% disagree because these cards are in my opinion are very overpriced. I know the market has a lot of coins but some of the price spikes that we saw yesterday were absolutely mad. This is your rent, take a look at this, right? Fopen doesn't even capture the full moment of this. He was 467,000 coins yesterday on Monday before the content drop. He spiked at 570. This your rent was actually 620,000 coins. He literally went up over 100K in that time span as so many people were like, oh my goodness, these cards are not going to get supplied anymore. There's no more lightning rounds. They didn't drop any lightning rounds yesterday at six, seven, or eight PM UK. So just people went out and they bought these cards because they were afraid that they're going to go up even further out of packs. That makes me like them even less for an out of packs rise. Now, Renato Sanchez is extinct at 750K. Ben Yetter was over a mil and even Ruben Diaz, look at the insane price rise on this card yesterday. He was like 220K before the weakling rewards were distributed, went up to about 280, back down to 260. He actually spiked, it says 300K. He was actually about 320,000 coins at his peak. And then there were, there was actually that 85 plus star lightning round, like I mentioned yesterday, kind of in the later evening UK time. So he went back down to 260 and now he's back up to 290. So there were some fluctuations on these cards yesterday. And if you bought them early around rewards, you made bank, right? If you sold them especially in that right time, I don't think that this your rent card goes back up to 600,000 coins, like I really don't because I think that that card is such a minimal upgrade over his gold card anyway. I think a lot of these guys probably peaked in price yesterday during that panic buy time zone. And if you take a look at some other cards on the market yesterday too, a lot of cards just got panic bought yesterday. And when you look at some of those graphs, take a look at Militow, 515,000 coins. That is crazy. So many people just went out and they bought cards yesterday because the content was lacking, right? Again, we thought that Black Friday pack might be coming. It did not end up getting dropped in this game. Now, could that come today, right? Let's transition to talking about today a little bit. Since Black Friday is ending, there's still upgrade SBCs that are out and some of these SBCs are gonna linger for a few days. Could EA Sports end this promo? And technically after it quote unquote end at 6 p.m. today, also at the same time drop this Black Friday pack. I guess there's still a small chance that it could be dropped. And again, just like we talked about yesterday, the same market movements would apply, right? You would expect to see a little bit of panic selling on some of those ones to watch, roads to the knockouts or the rule breakers cards, and then a potential rebound back after the panic. I just don't know, like it's confusing for them to add a pack like that into the code if they're not gonna drop it today. I mean, it didn't make sense for them not to drop it as a part of the Black Friday promo. So that's what's a little bit confusing to me. If we do see that in the next couple of days, maybe that's what EA is waiting for, like the promo to end, and then they're gonna say they're gonna end it with a bang. I don't know. I'm really confused on why that did not drop. Maybe it's not gonna ever drop at all. And that was just something to kind of scare us in the code, but I kind of hope it's not because that would be an interesting pack. A lot of people will do it and it would cause a lot of market movement. So I'm kind of interested to see if that drops today. Now, one of the other things that's being talked about, before we talk about the whole road to the knockout stuff, there's a new card design. There's a new card design that has been added into the code and actually it's in the game right now. As you take a look right here, it looks very, very similar to the road to the knockouts card design. It's basically that same little like, the lines that are on the inside of the card are like inverted. A lot of people are wondering if this is going to be either a man of the match item or if it's going to be team of the group stage because we have some other card designs that have been added as well. This is the only one that shows up in the game. It's called special item and usually when you see this added, it means that there's a card coming. So maybe we could have a player SBC today that is a special item and if these are actual man of the match cards, then that would be very interesting. We might have a conference leading man of the match item drop today that's potential, right? But there have been supposedly some other cards added to the code. This is a very popular picture that is floating around right now with team of the group stage being the label. Of course, the Champions League design, the Europa League design and then the Conference League design. The only thing that's interesting about this is that this Europa League one has like the border around it and these other ones do not. So I really don't know. I don't want to nail these down and say that I think these are actually team of the group stage because I really could feel like these might be man of the match items and it might just be that this one that was officially tweeted out yesterday is like a legit man of the match. We're gonna get like a man of the match SBC or something from games that were last week. I don't know, right? It's just theory at this point but team of the group stage is potentially the promo that we would expect to see this Friday as we start to look ahead to the end of the week in terms of what could be happening later on as well. So that's kind of what's going on with that. Now, we got to talk about this road to the knockouts nonsense because this is actually, it's losing people millions and this is a really, really big problem because EA messed up bad with these cars. Now, I've actually bought some of these again because as we talked about on the live stream yesterday these cards got really, really low and a lot of people were investing in them because of the price range issues that they had. Let's just start from the top, right? So they went out and they upgraded some of these cards. Rodrigo got a plus two from an 84 to an 86 and all of the cars that got upgraded, let me just show you in here because this kind of explains it perfectly. The only cars that got upgraded were the ones that had three out of three wins. And technically, if you go through this list and look on foot bin, the only teams that have won three out of three so far inside of the Champions League, Europa League, or Conference League, it's only Champions League teams, right? Liverpool, Bayern, City, Chelsea, and there's one more, oh, Inter, Real Madrid, there's a couple more actually. So all the cars that got upgraded yesterday, you can see them in here. They got their three out of three win upgrades. So they got their plus one or plus two, whatever it was. Rodrigo with a nice plus two upgrade. The issue happened though, is when these cards got upgraded, I believe it was around, it was like eight or nine, it was like nine or nine 30 p.m. UK time yesterday, which was like four o'clock Eastern time. What EA did was, when they upgraded these cards, they also messed with the price ranges for whatever reason, like Vidal's price range was like 150,000 coins or something like that. I didn't even know what it was yesterday, pre-update. And all of a sudden, Vidal's price range was down at 16K. Like they basically put these cards down to minimum. And this lost people millions of coins yesterday. Cause take a look at this. One of my buds, Chattie, in the FIFA community, he had some Vidal cards that were on his trade list that he just clicked relist all, right? For all the cards that he had, he clicked relist all. And of course it relisted those Vidal cards at whatever, you know, at 16,000 coins because whatever he had them, you know, let's say he was listening at 80K, obviously they're not able to be listed there. So it lists him at his max price, which was 16,000 coins. And so he just lost a bunch of coins, right? Because of that occurrence right there. Like some other cards that were, you know, messed up. Gravenburg was 15K. Rodrigo was like 30,000 coins. Werner was 350. I actually bought a Robertson on Snipe at 200K from somebody that relisted this card when EA messed up the price range. And I just sold it like an hour ago for 245. So I technically made some profit off of that. And a lot of people are profiting off this mistake from EA Sports. It's just crazy that they lost people so many coins. If you were on the other end of this and you had these cards and you just relisted them, you lost coins because EA messed with these price ranges when they updated the cards, which sucks big time and it's a huge issue. Now, some of these cards have come back down since they got the upgrade and since they upgraded the price ranges. I think it took about like three or four hours for them to upgrade these price ranges. So they are back to normal now. You don't have to worry about not listing your road to the knockouts cards. But I actually had a blunder of my own. I bought a Timo Werner at 930K. I just went to go compare price like this. I went to go boom. I went to go, you know, here and compare price and the game lagged on me and I pressed X and I listed that card on the transfer market instead of actually comparing the price. So unfortunately, you know, when you're watching this video, maybe you'll have seen this card go through, but I'm kind of just living on the edge here seeing what my Timo Werner goes for. I think right now his cheapest on the market is like 980 or something like that is when I checked. So if somebody were to bid this up or if he were to get rare in the next hour, I'm kind of bummed, man, because I was really looking to sell this card for a million coins, he's still about like 970, 980. So I don't know, hopefully that gets bid up a little bit and hopefully there's some competition, but it's late night. So I hope that it just doesn't die and like somebody buys it for 850. That would be a big loss of coins and very unfortunate, but I'm not too happy with EA Sports on that one either. But you know, a couple of these cards I got upgraded. I'm really liking Rodrigo. I think that some of these will still rise a bit into today on Tuesday, just because there's not a lot to do. Besides the upgrade packs going away, I feel like people have kind of got their fill. And yesterday, of course, with this being part of the crazy news with everything that went on and, you know, some of these cards getting some pretty sizable upgrades, I'm kind of taking a gamble and taking a chance here that I think people are going to wake up today and want to try these cards out. Rodrigo is 305 and there's one page to 320. If I can snag one of these at 300K again, I'm going to do it because I think people have already bought this card up. Rodrigo is like 250 during Black Friday when Benzema dropped, he went up to like 280, 290. And now that he's gotten the plus two, even more people might want to use him with their Benzema that they maybe have gotten from the flashback card. So I picked up, I think I got three of these right around 300K a piece. So yeah, four of them, I got like 301, 300. So those are kind of my buy prices on those. I'm really hoping this Rodrigo would maybe shoot back up a little bit to maybe like, I don't know, 330 or 340 this morning on Tuesday. And I would be able to take the cash there. That would be a tremendous flip. You know, I see that there's a lot listed here overnight, but I mean, there could be a lot of demand because of the links that he has with the Benzema right now and people have coins and they're obviously going out and looking and trying cards out. So hopefully I can get some Rodrigo sales. The only thing that worries me is that a lot of people who sniped these cards yesterday, I know a ton of people that snipe the dolls. I'm worried that the UK wakes up today and they start listing these guys that they sniped. You take a look at some of these like, dude, these are all, these are all traders right here. These are all people that snipe these of the dolls. You can see zero games played for the current club, which to me, it's somebody who has bought this card to trade it and to flip it. So when you look at Rodrigo's cards or like Sane even, Sane went back down to 300,000 coins after the whole price range update happened. And I missed that buy opportunity. He's back up to 340, right? So the rare cards, the ones that people actually want to use are the ones that have bounced up. So, you know, just kind of watch out for that fluctuation today. Yeah, but I'm really, really curious to see what happens today on Tuesday as well. With the Black Friday promo ending, is EA gonna like say, ha, ha, this is one last, one last Black Friday SBC and drop that Black Friday pack or are we gonna get some sort of special item in packs today? Or is that just like kind of a mistake from EA having this special item that shows up here in the inside the transfer market search. Usually when you see something like this, it means that there's gonna be something that is coming. So I'm really not too sure on that. But again, if there are leagues where if there are, you know, people saying that that is gonna be dropping today, then I would just keep an eye out for panic selling pre-6 PM. So this is Werner went on bid for 9.15. Boys, I might be, I'm gonna watch this Werner too. This one that's on bid at 9.01. I really might be screwed here. The only, the best opportunity that I have here is that somebody would somehow think or like that my coin would be like a coin transfer and then like they'd bid up my team over to like 1.2 million coins, that'd be crazy. But I'll keep you guys updated and it's probably gonna end up being a bit of a loss which is unfortunate. But shout out to EA Sports. We did make some coins yesterday and we also packed some good stuff from Upgrade Packs. I crafted a base icon upgrade and that was an L. I ended up getting a Veron. But I mean, I literally spent 100,000 coins on 75 plus player picks plus a little bit of fodder in the club and I got this Veron. So I mean, it was really a really good craft. It just was unfortunate we didn't get a better pack pull from it. Again, there's my upgraded Bernardo Silva, which is a GG. So I still gotta figure the team out, right? Still gotta figure the team out because a lot of the stuff that I was hoping to buy for this is actually up. Like I was looking to buy Marquinhos for my team and now Marquinhos' gold card is up. Marquinhos' second or his first inform is up right now almost back to 200K because again, this is another card that people started to buy up even though he's expected to be in team of the week tomorrow. I don't know, man, it's kind of crazy times. This market has so many coins at the moment that people are just buying cards and trying things out which makes it really great to trade in for the quick flips, right? When you see any sort of panic, there's a lot of coins there for people that are still trying to go out and try that card. So you see a lot of items fluctuating. You see that I've traded the baby Ronaldinho twice in the past two days. I bought Suarez last night at like 420, 430 sold those at 460 to 470. So I'm still going to be watching out on the market for movements. But I'm kind of watching this Rodrigo today. I've kind of got all my eggs in one basket with this card hoping that he rises up a bit this morning and that hopefully too many people or hopefully not too many people are like trying to sell this card after they sniped him yesterday. How many of these do we have here? Actually a lot of these, okay, there's a couple of them that are like people that are trading and stuff like that. But once those get out of the way and people take their coins, I really feel like this could go to like 330 or 340 for a quick second because he's very rare. He got upgraded to be instead of in the 80 pace or sorry, in the 90, he got from 88 dribbling to 90. He went from 78 passing to 80. So this card just looks a lot more appealing to the eye and he's kind of all the rage right now with the Benzema Lynx and the Benzema hype. So hopefully that rises up a bit more for me today. That's probably something I'm going to be looking to get out though before 6 p.m. And then since the upgrade packs are going to be done we got to put in a shift and make some coins. We've probably spent about, I don't know, 300,000 coins on upgrade packs. So the coin total is down just a little bit. But I've also gotten like a million coins worth of fodder in the club from just a nice club stock and a couple extras in the transfer list. And then also I have still some of these like RTTK cards. Like I bought Tabsoba at 43, DUP at like 29, 27. So I'm kind of waiting for those in this next week as well. And as you can see, I got some fodder for decent prices up here. I got Keynes at like 41, 42. This Navas for 27s, Thirling at 23. Why not buy Navas? I don't know what I was doing with that. 27k, it's a bit high for him anyways. I did a club stock on some of this stuff. I still have two of Keynes as well that I kind of work in with back here and just some of the fodder cards that I have right now in my transfer list. So that's kind of the update, right? Yesterday was not what we expected at all. Maybe today they're going to bring the hype. Maybe they won't. We will have to see it's all up to EA but these cards are going out of packs. The hype is ending for the summer stars, for the upgrade pack grind, for all that sort of stuff. I guess good luck if you're still grinding your games. I'm not going to end up getting this one done. I haven't played a single game since Black Friday started with the busy weekend. So I'm probably not going to get this objective done and dusted. But if you have any more games to play here or if you want to quit out in a friendly against somebody in like a friendly mode, you get a buddy to do this. You get an easy 25 wins from that. Take you a little bit. But you get yourself a couple mega packs and a 25K. So that's worth it as well. If you did not notice that last second objective you may be able to complete today. So that's the video for today, boys. Absolutely craziness on the market yesterday but not in any terms how we expect it to be. So if you enjoyed the video, smash the thumbs up on it. Comment down below if you have any questions and subscribe if you do. It's been Nate for Foot Accounting. I'll catch you guys later. Peace out.
