Telecommunications is well north of a trillion dollar business globally that provides critical services on which virtually everyone on the planet relies. Dramatic changes are occurring in the sector. And one of the most important dimensions of this change is the underlying infrastructure that powers global telecommunications networks. Telcos have been thawing out, if you will, their frozen infrastructure modernizing. They're opening up, they're disaggregating their infrastructure separating, for example, the control plane from the data plane and adopting open standards. Telco infrastructure is becoming software defined and leading telcos are adopting cloud native microservices to help make developers more productive so they can respond more quickly to market changes. They're embracing technology consumption models and selectively leveraging the cloud where it makes sense. And these changes are being driven by market forces the root of which stemmed from customer demand. So from a customer's perspective, they want services and they want them fast, meaning not only at high speeds, but also they want them now. Customers want the latest, the greatest and they want these services to be reliable and stable with high quality of service levels. And they want them to be highly cost effective. Hello and welcome to this preview of Mobile World Congress 2023. My name is Dave Vellante and at this year's event, theCUBE has a major presence at the show made possible by Dell Technologies and with me to unpack the trends in Telco and look ahead to MWC23 or Dennis Hoffman. He's the senior vice president and general manager of Dell's telecom business and Aaron Chason who was the vice president of telecom and edge solutions marketing at Dell Technologies. Gentlemen, welcome. Thanks so much for spending some time with me. Thank you, Dave. Thanks, glad to be here. So Dennis, let's start with you. Telcos in recent history have been slow to deliver and to monetize new services in a large part because their purpose built infrastructure has been somewhat of a barrier to respond to these market forces. In many ways, this is what makes Telcoms really this market so exciting. So from your perspective, where is the action in this space? Yeah, the action Dave is kind of all over the place. Partly because it's an ecosystem play. You know, I think it's been, as you point out, the disaggregation trend has been going on for a while. The opportunity's been clear, but it has taken a few years to get all of the vendors and all of the components that make up a solution, as well as the operators themselves, to a point where we can start putting this stuff together and actually achieving some of the promise. So, Aaron, for those who might not be as familiar with Dell's activities in this area, you know, here we are just ahead of Mobile World Congress. It's the largest event for Telcoms. What should people know about Dell? What's the key message to this industry? Sure, yeah, I think everybody knows that there's a lot of innovation that's been happening in the industry of late. One of the major trends that we're seeing is that shift from more of a vertically integrated technology stack to more of a disaggregated set of solutions. And that trend has actually created a ton of innovation that's happening across the industry where along technology vendors and providers, the Telcoms themselves. And so one of the things that Dell's really looking to do as Dennis talked about is build out a really strong ecosystem of partners and vendors that we're working closely together to be able to collaborate on new technologies, new capabilities that are solving challenges that the networks are seeing today, be able to create new solutions built on those in order to be able to bring new value to the industry. And then finally, we wanna help both partners as well as our CSP providers activate those changes so that they can bring new solutions to market to be able to serve their customers. And so the key areas that we're really focusing on with our customers is technologies that help modernize the network to be able to capitalize on the value of open architectures and bring price performance to what they're expecting and availability that they're expecting today. And then also partner with the lines of business to be able to take these new capabilities, produce new solutions, and then deliver new value to their customers. Great, thank you, Aaron. So Dennis, you and I have known you for a number of years.  And I love now the fact that you're running a business that you had to go out and analyze and now you gotta make it happen. So how would you describe Dell's strategy in this market? Well, it's really two things and I appreciate the comment. I'm not sure how much of a trend spotter I am, but I certainly enjoy and I think I'm fascinated by what's going on in this industry right now. Our two main thrusts, Dave, are first around trying to catalyze that ecosystem, be a force for pulling together a group of folks, vendors that have been flying in fairly loose formation for a couple of years to deliver the kinds of solutions that move the needle forward and produce the outcomes that our network operator customers can actually buy and consume and deploy and have them be supported. The other thing is there's a couple of very key technology areas that need to be advanced here. This ends up being a much anticipated year in telecom because of the delivery of some open infrastructure solutions that have been being developed for years with the Intel Sapphire Rapids program coming to market. We've, of course, got some purpose-built solutions on top of that for telecommunications networks, some expanded partnerships in the area of multi-cloud infrastructure. And so I would say the second main thrust is we've got to bring some intellectual property to the party. It's not just about pulling the ecosystem together, but those two things together really form the twin thrusts of our strategy. Okay, so as you point out, you're obviously not going to go alone in this market. It's way too broad. There's so many routes to market. Partnerships, obviously, very, very important. So can you share a little bit more about the ecosystem and partners? Maybe give some examples of some of the key partners that you'd be highlighting or working with, maybe at Mobile World Congress or other activities this year? Yeah, absolutely. As Aaron touched on, I'm a visual thinker. The way I think about this thing is a very, very vertical architecture is tipping sideways. It's becoming horizontal. And that all of the layers of that horizontal architecture are really where the partnerships are at. So let's start at the bottom. Silicon, the Silicon ecosystem is very much focused on this market and producing very specific products to enable open, high-performance telecom networks. That's both in the form of host processors as well as accelerators. One layer up, of course, is the stuff that we're known for. Subsystems, compute storage, the hardware infrastructure that forms the foundation for telco clouds. A layer above that, all of the cloud software layer, the virtualization and containerization software and all of the usual suspects there, all of whom are very good partners of ours and we're looking to expand that pretty broadly this year. And then at the top of the layer cake, all of the network functions, all of the VNFs and CNFs that were once kind of the top of proprietary stacks that are now opening up and being delivered as well-formed containers that can run on these clouds. So we're focusing on all of those, if you will, product partnerships. And there is a services wrapper around all of it. The systems integration necessary to make these systems part of a carrier's network, which of course has been running for a long time and needs to be integrated with in a very specific way. And so all of that together kind of forms the ecosystem. All of those are partners and we're really excited about being at the heart of it. Interesting, it's not like we've never seen this movie before, which is just sort of repeating itself in telco. Aaron, you heard my little intro upfront about the need to modernize infrastructure. I wonder if we could touch on another major trend which we're seeing is the cloud. And I'm talking about not only public, but private and hybrid cloud. The public cloud is an opportunity, but it's also a threat for telcos. There's, telcom providers are looking to the public cloud for specific use cases. You think about like bursting for an iPhone launch or whatever, but at the same time, these cloud vendors, they're sort of competing with telcos. They're providing local zones, for example, sometimes trying to do an end run on the telco connectivity services. So, telecom companies, they have to find the right balance between what they own and what they rent. And I wonder if you could add some color to as to what you see in the market and what Dell specifically is doing to support these trends. Yeah, I think the most important thing is what we're seeing as you said is these aren't things that we haven't seen before. And I think that telecom is really going through their own set of cloud transformations. And so, one of the hot topics in the industry now was what is telco cloud and what does that look like going forward? And it's going to be, as you said, a combination of services that they offer, services that they leverage. But at the end of the day, it's going to help them modernize how they deliver telecommunication services to their customers and then provide value added services on top of that. From a Dell perspective, we're really providing the technologies to provide the underpinnings to lay a foundation on which that network can be built, whether that's best of breed servers that are built and designed for the telecom environments. Recently, we announced our InforBlock program in partnering with virtualization providers to be able to provide engineered systems that dramatically simplify how our customers can deploy, manage, and lifecycle manage throughout day two operations, an entire cloud environment. And whether they're using Red Hat, whether they're using Wind River or VMware or other virtualization layers, they can deploy the right virtualization layer at the right part of their network to support the applications they're looking to drive. And Dell is looking to solve how they simplify and manage all of that, both from a hardware as well as a management software perspective. So this is really what Dell's doing to, again, partner with the broader technology community to help make that telco count a reality. Aaron, let's stay here for a second. I'm interested in some of the use cases that you're going after with customers. You got edge infrastructure, remote work, 5G, where security fit, what are the focus areas for Dell? And can we double click on that a little bit? Yeah, I mean, I think there's two main areas of telecommunication industry that we're talking to. One, we've really been talking about the sort of the network buyer. How do they modernize the core, the network edge, the RAN capabilities to deliver traditional telecommunication services and modernize that as they move into 5G and beyond. I think the other side of the business is telecoms are really looking from a line of business perspective to figure out how do they monetize that network and be able to deliver value added services to their enterprise customers on top of these new networks. So you were just touching on a couple of things that are really critical. You know, in the enterprise space, AI and IoT is driving a tremendous amount of innovation out there. And there's a need for being able to support and manage edge compute at scale, be able to provide connectivity like private mobility in 4G and 5G, being able to support things like mobile workforces and client capabilities to be able to access these devices that are around all these edge environments of the enterprises. And telecoms are seeing as that as an opportunity for them to not only provide connectivity, but how do they extend their cloud out into these enterprise environments with compute, with connectivity, with client connectivity resources and even also provide protection for those environments as well. So these are areas that Dell is historically very strong at, being able to provide compute, being able to provide connectivity and being able to provide data protection and client services. We're looking to work closely with lines of businesses to be able to develop solutions that they can bring to market in combination with us to be able to serve their end user customers and their enterprises. So those are really the two key areas, not only network buyer, but being able to enable the lines of business to go and capitalize on the services they're developing for their customers. I think that line of business aspect is key. I mean, the telcos have had to sit back and provide the plumbing, cost per bit goes down, data consumption going for the roof, all the over at the top guys have had the field day with the data and the customer relationships. And now it's almost like the revenge of the telcos. Dennis, I wonder if we could talk about the future. What can we expect in the years ahead from Dell if you break out the binoculars a little bit? Yeah, I think you hit it earlier. We've seen the movie before. This has happened in the IT data center. We went from proprietary vertical solutions to horizontal open systems. We went from client server to software defined open hardware cloud native. And the trend is likely to be exactly that in the telecom industry because that's what the operators want. They're not naive to what's happened in the IT data center. They all run very large data centers. And they're trying to get some of the scale economies, some of the agility, the cost of ownership benefits. For the reasons Aaron just discussed, it's clear as you point out, this industry's been really defined by the inability to stop investing and the difficulty to monetize that investment. And I think now everybody's looking at this 5G and frankly, 5G plus 6G and beyond as the opportunity to really go get a chunk of that revenue and enterprise edge is the target. And 5G is touching so many industries and that kind of brings me Aaron to Mobile World Congress. I mean, you look at the floor layout, it's amazing. You got industry 4.0, you've got our traditional industry and telco colliding, there's public policy. So give us a teaser to Mobile World Congress 23. What's on deck at the show from Dell? Yeah, we're really excited about Mobile World Congress.  And it's really the event that the whole industry uses to kick off this coming year. So we're going to be using this obviously to talk to our customers and our partners about what Dell is looking to do and what we're innovating on right now and what we're looking to partner with them around. In the front of the house, we're going to be doing, we're going to be highlighting 13 different solutions and demonstrations to be able to show our customers what we're doing today and show them the use cases and put it into action. So they get to actually look and feel and touch and experience what it is that we're working around. Obviously meetings are important. Everybody knows Mobile World Congress is the place to get those meetings and kick off for the year. So we're going to have a, you know, we're looking at several hundred meetings, hundreds of meetings that we're going to be looking to have across the industry with our customers and partners in the broader community. And of course we've also got technology that's going to be in a variety of different partner spaces as well. So you can come and see us in hall three but we're also going to have technologies all kind of spread all over the floor. And of course there's always the cube.  You're going to be hearing our executives, our partners, our customers talk about, you know, what Dell is doing to innovate in the industry and how we're looking to leverage the broader open ecosystem to be able to transform, you know, the network and what we're looking to do. So that in that space, we're going to be focusing on what we're doing from an ecosystem perspective, our infrastructure focus. We'll be talking about what we're doing to support Tech-O-Cloud transformation. And then finally, as we talked about earlier, how are we helping the lines of business within our telecoms monetize the opportunity? So these are all different things we're really excited to be focusing on and look forward to the event next month. Yeah, it's going to be awesome in Barcelona at the FIRA, as you say, Dell's big presence in hall three, Orange is in there, Deutsche Telecom, Intel's in hall three, VMware's there, Nokia, Vodafone, you got great things to see there. Check that out. And of course the cube, we were super excited to be collaborating with you. We got a great setup. We're in the walkway right between halls four and five right across from the government of Catalonia, who are the host partners for the event. So there's going to be a ton of action there. Guys can't wait to see you there. I really appreciate your time today. Great, thanks. All right, Mobile World Congress, the cubes coverage starts on February 27th, right after the keynotes. So first thing in the morning, East Coast time, we'll be broadcasting as Aaron said, all week Monday through Thursday on the show floor. Check that out at thecube.net, siliconangle.com has all the written coverage and go to dell.com, see what's happening there. Have all the action from the event. Don't miss it. This is Dave Vellante. We'll see you there.


So the first part of this problem asks us to calculate the solubility of silver one bromide and water. So silver one bromide. So what's the first thing we're going to do? Yeah, always, right at the equation. So silver one bromide, if you don't know it, you know. Now, OK, so a g plus aqueous plus dr minus aqueous, OK? So remember, it asks for the solubility. You could do the ice table if you wanted to, but it's easy enough to just do it this way. So everybody OK with me doing that? So if you look, this is s, this is s, right? So it's going to be s squared there. So s squared is going to equal 5.0 times 10 to the negative 13. And then you can take the square root of both sides here. So we're going to say s equals 5.0 times 10 to the negative 13 square root of the square root. If I answer the solubility of silver one bromide and water, it's going to be 7.1 times 10 to the negative 7 or moles per liter, whatever you like to say. OK, is everybody OK with doing one like that? This, again, is a rehash of one that we've done before. So probably an easier problem.


Hey guys, it's Nate, AKA The Foot Accountant. Welcome back to the channel. We have a new promotion that is coming out in the next couple of days of FIFA Ultimate Team. It's coming out on Wednesday, and I wanna sit down with you guys today and talk about this promotion, what could be happening, how we can prepare for it, and what it could do to the market. Now there's gonna be a lot of information in this video. It's probably gonna, I'm probably gonna have some subsequent videos coming up after this because there's just a ton of information about this promo, because there's a ton going on in this promo, and there's a lot of market movements as well. So today we're gonna take kind of the 10,000 foot level approach. We're just gonna skim over some things and just basically outline what this promo is. So this is the loading screen that came up today. I just checked it is not on FIFA right at this moment when I'm recording. So there is a loading screen though. Footies, FIFA 19. This is the, they've always used like a pink color. This is kind of the usual color with footies which is no different this year. So that is what the promo colors will be if you're interested in that. The card design will probably have some sort of pink and yellow in it, I'm guessing from the way that this looks. But let's get looking at last year's footies and talk about stuff that happens every year with footies. So the biggest thing about footies is the SBCs and the re-release of special cards back into packs. So I wanna talk about those two things first and we'll look at some of the other details. Basically, what is an EA promo without packs, right? They're gonna put special cards back into packs. You see it here, best of packs. This was a major hit last year at the end of the year. They put a lot of the special cards back into packs. And as you can see the promotion last year ran from July 18th to August 15th. So footies lasts a good while. It's a three, four week promotion depending on how much they wanna stretch it out. This year, it's a decently long promotion because of those player SBCs that we'll also talk about in a second. But the highlight is probably the best of packs. So you have some of the best, you'll basically have the re-release of special cards in packs during that timeframe. So like last year, the first week of footies we had Scream, Once to Watch Summer, Path to Glory and European team in the tournament. The second week we had Foot Birthday, Tots, Once to Watch Winter, Path to Glory Spring. And then it got good. After that, they put in the best of campaign which was the best version of every player in the game. Now, I wanna talk about this a little bit because we're gonna have to kinda see how they do the best of packs this year. If they do upfront heavy, like if they do this the whole time, I don't know how that'll work, but I think they're gonna do it structured kinda like this last year. They'll put a couple of the teams in for the first two weeks or so and after that they might throw in the best of each player. And that's the most hype part of footies because basically you search anybody in the game, let's say you wanna search Paul Pogba. So there's so many special cards that are out in the game and that's one area why I'm kind of curious to see how they do it this year because so many more special cards are in the game this year. You've had so many more promos this year that there are just a lot more special cards. If they do best of again, it's gonna be so, you're gonna have a different type of flair, almost every pack because in gold cards are gonna be extinct because there's gonna be so many special cards in packs. That's why they had to kinda break up the weeks as you see here because they have SBCs out at the same time and if they take all of these, if they do best of during that week, gold cards are gonna get very expensive because if you think about it, so many of these gold cards have special items but best of, that means you would see this Pogba back into packs. I mean, you can think of any random player in the game, Pulisic, he's actually in packs with a man-of-the-match item right now that is a center mid version so we'll look at that one. I think it is his best version of a card if I'm correct. It is not 82 rated, interesting. That is not his best version. He has a UCL live card that's 84, I believe, right? Yeah, oh, he has the Carnival that is 88. So even this Pulisic card, this Carnival version would be back in packs for that promo when they do best of. So you would have special cards all over the place and then they released upgrade packs at the same time. So you could just smash upgrade packs and you would just get random special cards during that time which was freaking sick. There's a ton of great pack openings that happened during that time but there is a lot of special cards that get re-released back into packs so that's one thing that I wanna note about is that you're gonna see a lot of price drops around some of those cards, especially Team of the Season, Foot Birthday, any of those past special cards. This is kind of the promo at the end of the year where card prices really take a nosedive into the end of the year. Now this is another big part of Footies, the themed cards and this is on a voting basis. So last year, this was one of the first SBCs that came out and there was, you basically voted on position. So your favorite CM or CDM, two or three days I think, to, you did an SBC, there were three separate SBCs for each of these players. You did an SBC and that was your vote. So you voted for one of these players and whoever won, we can actually look this up right now. We'll go to FIFA 18 players and we'll sort by Footies, Footies winners. Maybe not. Festival of Football, where are these Footies cards at? They gotta be in here somewhere, right? Am I just missing this? Footies, Footies, Footies, Footies, Gold, Team of the Year Footmiss. I can't find them, but there are Footies cards in here. Where the heck are these Footies cards? Like Lozano. Let's go Leagues, AirDivision. He's in here somewhere, man. I know he is. Footies. Here's a Footies card for ya. So like last year, Lozano was in. Lozano, Lozano, Lozano, where was he at? There he is. So he was in this voting. Here's a different position change. So this was his card that you did the SBC and you voted on. This was the card that he got for winning Footies. So they basically just boosted his card to the best overall rating that he possibly got. And people freaking loved this card last year in FIFA. It was ridiculous how good this card was. But that's what's gonna happen again this year. So they'll do it by position if they follow last year. So last year at Centerback, you had Veran, Baye, and Monalas. Some of those popular Centerbacks last year in Foot. They get a special card.  And it's cool that we get to vote on that. But those are also some cards that get into people's end games. So also along with Footies, is the re-release of special SBCs. You can see here Footmas Van Dyke was re-released. Often these SBCs are released at a lower price than what they were when they originally came out. You had a Footmas Van Dyke. Just a regular SBC for a pack, Foot-09. The Zaha Player of the Month card. Aguero Player of the Month card. There's lots on Abrahamovich Footmas. And then also you have some 81 plus double guarantees. 82 plus guarantee. Who left the dogs out? That was from a Ultimate Screen SBC, I believe. Or it was either that or in Chinese Lunar New Year, because that might have been the year of the dog last year, I forget. Onto Herrera Footmas. You see all these SBCs are just re-released different types and versions from other promos. And they also put out End of Anerikars last year. They had Dorasi. We had Karak. We had Buffon and Iniesta. In the prior years before that, we had Philip Lam. That's the really big one. We had Javi Alonso. I think we actually had Gerard as well at a point. I could be wrong with that. I could be very wrong with that. But we had a lot of cool Flashback SBCs, or End of Anerikars SBCs. We've seen some of them this year, but there's always kind of a boost of them at the end of the year. So that's kind of what we have to look for during Footies. There also were reward packs. So based on how many days you have played, I forget what the time frame was. But it's again, it's like how many days that you have played the game of FIFA in a certain amount of time and you get a pack based on that session. FIFA 17 Footies was special cards and SBCs. It was a lot less hype than last year with Footies. Obviously what made last year very hype with Footies was the Festival of Football cards. Those aren't in the game this year. So that's kind of a week less of packs, to be honest here. But there's still gonna be a lot of hype because they're re-releasing team the season cards. And actually in FIFA 17, they released a team of the year cards. Now I don't actually remember that myself, but they released a team of the year cards in FIFA 17. And that's another possibility for this year as well. So if you're somebody who has been wanting one of these cards, like I really want Cristiano Ronaldo for my team. And there's probably some cards in my team that I'm going to lose coins on. My current team is this team right here. I'm probably gonna lose some coins on this team because I bought Neymar this week for 4.7. 4.729. He's selling it like 5-2 right now. I bought Mbappe for 3.4. He's selling for like 3.7 right now.  But again, it's the end of the game. If you're somebody who is scared to lose a lot of coins, if you really wanna sell your team and you wanna have your coins liquid for this promo, you could go ahead and do that because I think prices are gonna drop. This is the end of the year where people really just say eff it. You thought team this season was a time where people went broke on packs. This Footies promotion is another last-ditch effort where more people just say eff it and they close out the year of FIFA with their teams and stuff and complete SPCs that they put out and do upgrade packs. So there will definitely be a point where I probably sell a couple of players and that's why I'm waiting to buy Cristiano Ronaldo because I don't wanna buy that card and be broke. But if you really wanna get ready for this promo, try to sell your players, actually I would sell them today on Saturday because this promo is gonna be starting on Wednesday, depending on what they do if they start the promo with a bang, you might be stuck with some losses. Now I don't know how much I'm really gonna sell of my team. This year the market really loves to panic sell but imagine a lot of these cards coming back into packs.  So that's one thing that I wanna make known to you guys as well. I do see probably a decent amount of prices going down from this, like icons, you know, team of the years, team of the seasons, especially they put team of the years back into packs. We're really not gonna know what effects this has on the market fully until we see what they're gonna do with footies. I'm probably not gonna sell anybody in my team. I just probably won't buy that Ronaldo card just yet that I want. I will probably keep Neymar and Abape even though it will pay me to lose, you know, a lot of coins in those cards by the end of the year but it's okay. It's the end of the year, I'm building a team, I have a team that I want. So that's kind of cool. You have to think of it about that way as well. This is the time of the year not to be worried about losing coins. It's about having fun with those coins that you've made all year and there's gonna be plenty of opportunities to make coins as well from these SBCs. One thing that I wanted to point out as a part of FIFA 19 and maybe one way where we can kind of start to look to invest in this stuff is I'm not a guy who likes to go on a sign on 83s or 84s or other high rated golds but there's gonna be a lot of SBCs during this promo and if they have best of packs or best of stuff in packs or even other special cards in packs and there's a lot of SBCs going on, flashback SBCs and best of SBCs, you're gonna see a lot of these SBC cards especially the ones that are out of packs go crazy high because people need cards for Ken and to do SBCs. So if you're a guy that likes to go on a sign on 83s pick an 83 that has a special card and you could probably go on a sign on it for really cheap. Look at its card price, you could probably go on a sign on that and make a good amount of coins on that because there's gonna be some SBCs that do come out during footies. One thing I do want to talk about, the price of some of these informs is outrageous. 80 rated informs, you have to pay 25K for. 82 rated informs, 30K, this is a nice undercut right there. 83 rated informs, 40K. Informs are disgracefully high right now. I think EA is gonna do something about that. I think EA is gonna do something about that. I think they're gonna do a repeatable team of the weak guaranteed SBC that's gonna lower a lot of the prices especially if they make it cheap on some of these cards and that's another reason why I do think if you're somebody who likes to invest in gold cards, I mean, this might be a time to do it, start stocking up on your 83s. For the rest of us, just do a club stock. Honestly, just do a club stock, go on to the transfer market, look through the cheapest list of 83s. All right, so Balotelli is one of the cheapest 83s. That's a good position, good nationality. How much is Mario Balotelli? Is he a thousand coins right now? Wow, that's a good deal. A thousand coins for a Balotelli 83 rated card. Send them to the club, there you go. I'm ready to do some SBCs during footies, stuff like that. That's how you can prepare for footies. I would not advise buying in forms. I would, one thing that I would advise doing is going through foot bin and looking at some of these other special cards, Scream Team, Ones to Watch, Heroes, the UCL cards, the UCL Live cards. During this promo is where we usually see a lot of weird requirements for SBCs. They're gonna bring out all the different card types. They're gonna require Man of the Matches. They're gonna require, you know, maybe some UCL Rares, maybe a Scream Team player, a Man of the Match, I already said that. They're gonna pull out all the stops during this promo on what to require for SBCs. So be looking at for some of these cards that could be discard, maybe even like a really cheap, there's not really cheap foot birthday or carnival options. But a Man of the Match option, or especially like a Champions League Man of the Match option, what if we sort by like the cheapest Man of the Match? What do we see here? We have some, you know, you wanna look at some higher rated ones. Jefferson Farfan, he's a center attacking mid, 84 rated Man of the Match card, actually has some in game value and he's 16K. That could be a decent shout for an investment, you know? Pick a higher rated Man of the Match card, even just Joaquin Correa, you're paying 2K more, 18K per card. He's a striker, he gets better links for SBCs. This could be a decent investment opportunity in the coming days. Watch some of these prices. I know it's not discard, but it's close. His discard, you see there is 15K. So he's close to discard. Just maybe stock some of your club with a few of items like that. For these SBCs that they bring out, they're gonna require some weird stuff. So again, this promo is all about the re-release of special cards back into Pax, the themed footies cards that we will vote on. And of course, the best of SBCs. So this is kind of a promo where we just have fun and we send Pax and we, you know, there's definitely gonna be opportunities to trade during this promo. And a lot of that is gonna be based around SBCs.  Like if you see this Cristiano Ronaldo once-to-watch card gets re-released back into Pax like that first day. The first day of footies they release summer once-to-watch is back into Pax. That's probably gonna lower the price of his team of the year and his team of the season because when you have a card that's underneath those, takes such of a price hit. Like this card right now is at like three, eight, three, nine. You see this card down at three million coins flat because we're gonna say, wow, I don't have to pay seven mil for one of these to get this card for three mil. You're gonna see the cards underneath them drop a little bit and probably those higher ones drop as well. So there's gonna be some falling prices. Don't be scared. There's gonna be rebounds as well. Thursday flipping is still gonna work great during this promo depending on what cards come back out into Pax. And it's also interesting that this promo starts on a Wednesday. I find that pretty interesting myself. They're starting it on a Wednesday in the middle of the week. So if they're gonna put cards back into Pax this week, think about this. This weekend that you're playing for right now, not only are you playing for these new rewards with the Tots cards that aren't showing up right now at the moment, but you're also playing for whatever comes into Pax on a Wednesday with the start of this promotion. So that's something to think about as well. If they do release best of Pax from the start, your weekend like this weekend could be pretty important to the rewards that you get next week might motivate you a little bit more to play some week league this weekend. So that's a lot about footies. It's kind of a 10,000 foot range. We talked about some investing. We talked about what the promo is all about. And of course, footies is gonna be pretty fun. It's the last send of the year with some cards back in Pax. Hopefully EA structures it similar as to how they have done in the past two years. That would be awesome if we had the best of stuff going on with all of that. So if you enjoyed the video, smash the thumbs up on it.
