Hey guys, it's Nate, AKA The Photo Count, and welcome back to the channel. EA just let us on EA FC24 already. We've been looking at ratings, building starter squads, noticing overpowered cards, and all the while wondering how much are some of these cards going to cost. And that's what we're gonna be talking about in today's video. We're gonna be doing some early price predictions for a lot of favorite cards at the start of FC24, cards that you maybe wanna get in your starter squad, or maybe wanna save some coins for it and try to get in your team later on in the first couple of weeks in this game. We're gonna talk about prices in today's video. If you're excited for it, drop a thumbs up and of course, subscribe if you are new. Now, as we take a look at a lot of these prices today, we're gonna be using foot bin, we're gonna be using a lot of different websites, and of course, the EA website as well. But we of course know that prices are always changing, right? If we go back to last year's Lionel Messi card, a lot of cards as we know, don't stand the test of time in terms of gold cards. And we're gonna talk a lot about gold today, right? Cause that's what people can afford and really start to put in their teams at the beginning of the game. These predictions should serve as a good average for the first two to three weeks of the game, guys. We know that prices fluctuate a lot all the time. As you can see, Messi last year started at 100K, went to 300K, and then a month later, he was 70K. So these prices are gonna be for the early on stages as we get on FC24 for the first time. If you're saving for a card or if you're wanting to know how much your starter team player will be, this video is for you today. So let's start off the top by just getting into a bunch of prices. And while we do this, we'll talk about the market a little bit as well. First of all, Val Verde, one of the biggest upgraded cards from last year to this year, going up four overalls in rating. I went to his Inform card from last year cause if we think about it, this card was in team in the week one. It was almost like this is the Val Verde that we started with at the beginning of FIFA 23. And how much was this card back at the beginning of the game? 140,000 coins rising all the way to 200K at his peak is where this Inform Val Verde was at. But with the big upgrade that this Val Verde is even over that Inform card, especially with Real Madrid links and a higher rating. Guys, I think this Val Verde this year, being a holy gang, is gonna end up being 250, 300,000 coins and more expensive than his Inform was last year. I mean, his Inform was up that much. And that's a team of the week one Inform that is very rare, guys. I think this card's gonna be 250K, maybe even a little more than that because it's one of the best midfielders in the game. Now we're gonna look through a lot of prices. We're gonna try to keep it rapid fire, keep it going pretty fast. Messy, obviously a little bit of a downgrade from last year, going from a 91 to a 90. And of course, now being in the MLS, he has a lot worse links for most people. PSG links versus Inter Miami, probably not gonna be as hyped. A lot of people still wanna use him though because he has that striker and center forward position change and some really good play styles on his card. And of course, it's Messy, right? He's gonna have some hype just because of that. Now like we looked at, Messy last year was 300,000 coins. This year, guys, Messy just can't be that expensive. He is going to be cheaper this year in my opinion. And it's gotta be because of the links. But I don't think he's gonna be that cheap. I'm saying Messy's around 200, 250,000 coins, just a slight haircut in price from where Messy was last year. And it's really because of the links. But in reality, I think a lot of the top tier markets gonna end up being a bit more expensive this year. We'll talk about why a little bit later in the video. Now, another Real Madrid player, another midfielder. Maybe you want Jude and Valverde in your midfield. Both of those guys are gonna cost you a pretty penny. Jude last year was actually really cheap. If you take a look at his in-form price, he was like 30,000 coins in October. And his gold card was about 30,000 coins as well in the first couple of weeks of the game. 20, 30K, and then he dropped off crazy in value. But moving to Madrid is everything for this Jude Balingham card. He's gonna be very overpowered in game. Even though his stats don't look that insane, he's gonna be a card that a lot of people wanna get. I'm saying 100 to 150,000 coins for Jude Balingham. He's just got a lot more hype as well. He's been playing really well in real life. And of course, the Real Madrid links. Now, as we look through a few more cards, I want to know down in the comments, who do you guys wanna see? Shout some players, shout some cards you wanna see cause we'll look at a lot of different players throughout this video, but we'll probably do a second video as well where we look at specifically the players you guys comment down below. That'll be more of your requests in that video. Now, let's turn the corner here and do a couple cheaper cards. Starter team players, then maybe you wanna get in your squad in that first week or so. Alan St. Maximum, an interesting one here because he obviously has moved to the Saudi League, but he's still got the five star skills. Four star week, but he's got the trickster plus play style, quick step, technical and flair. He's gonna be a card that a lot of people wanna get, even though he's Saudi League this year. Last year, Alan St. Maximum's card was one of the best starter and left mids in the prem and he hit prices upwards of 40,000 coins in that first week before dropping off a lot. I would have to say that this year for Alan St. Maximum, I'm looking at a price of somewhere around 25,000 coins. Even though he's still five star skills and four star weak foot, he still looks cracked. It's just he's not in the Premier League anymore guys and I think his price is gonna drop off just as fast as it did last year and you see in this graph, he's gonna drop off a lot in a short amount of time. Now, moving down the list, we've got another starter team beast, Mickey Van DeVin from my Tottenham Hotspur Club, 85 pace, 70 on the defense and 80 physical. Now obviously his card last year is not a good comparison for this year's card but I can just tell you right off the bat how this card's price is gonna go. He's gonna be expensive in the first week and he is going to drop off in price incredible amounts. In my opinion, this Van DeVin card probably 20K but again guys, just like that ASM graph we looked at, it's not going to last long. One reason I always tell people to be careful when buying cards for their starter teams is these prices, they just get destroyed as we saw with the ASM and as you basically look at every single gold card graph, there's more promos than ever in FIFA's now. So we get or sorry, EAFC now, right? We're gonna say that a lot of times this year but there's more promo cards than ever. People get gold cards out of their club except for that upper echelon top tier faster than ever. Now let's take a step back up and talk about a very meta card, one of the best left wing players in the Premier League. Marcus Rashford, how much is this card gonna be? You might ask, well Rashford's kind of been on a crazy up and down in the past few ultimate teams. He was 81 rated last year in FIFA 23 but he was 85 rated in FIFA 22 and if you guys remember, I think it was FIFA 21 where he had these informed cards and he was so insane. His card went up so much in those first couple of weeks and in FIFA 22 his card started off really expensive. He was all the way up to about 174,000 coins. Now after being 81 rated last year, he's back to 85, five stress skills, 90 pace, a big time upgrade and also he's one of the only cards with the play style plus power shot on his base item. That's gonna give him another sort of rarity that could make him a little bit more expensive. I'm going with 150 to maybe 75,000 coins in those first couple of weeks. Now again guys, you're like, wait, Nate, I thought you said cards were gonna be a bit more expensive. That's the same that he was two years ago. Here's the thing with Rashford, he's only 85 rated which when a card is 85 rated that really means they're gonna get packed a lot more than say somebody who's 91 rated like Erling Holland and again, we're talking about prices potentially being a little bit more expensive this year guys and the reason I think that might be the case is we have got so many new women's players added into the game. We have so many players in general in packs this year and of course not all those players are super crazy meta. I just think that it's gonna end up making the top tier upper echelon of players, maybe some heroes, maybe some icons and of course at the start of the game guys like Mbappe, guys like Holland and some of these insane players a little bit more expensive because they're gonna be more separated from what's not meta and what is meta and if there's more cards in packs too that could mean higher quick sale values and just more coins that people are making back from opening packs which could inflate the market on that top tier. Again, new market this year with all the players that are coming in, it's a combined market again it's gonna be a whole whirlwind of craziness on this market as it always is and we're gonna be figuring it out as we go of course but that's just kind of my preeminent take right now on some of these top tier cards and I've got a similar valuation on Erling Holland higher in price than last year. Now everybody remembers Erling Holland last year right for his crazy rise to the meta being very lengthy focused in those first couple of weeks. Erling Holland was 30K on the web app and went all the way to 400,000 coins at his peak price around that like second, third week of the game maybe right around that first week in league and then of course he dropped off crazy amounts after that but that was a crazy rise for this Erling Holland card. Now guys this year Erling Holland's 91 rated people know how overpowered he is he's got some crazy play styles as well acrobatic quick step power header it's really gonna depend on the lengthy meta is lengthy going to be very usable is heading going to be overpowered or is his acrobatic trait like in real life gonna make him super overpowered in the game I still think he's the best prime striker in the game so he's gonna be expensive because of that and it's Erling Holland guys I think he might hit a new all time high price for his gold card in ultimate team this year I'm saying 500,000 coins for the gold Holland card this year in this game I think it's very possible and I think he's gonna be meta I just can't see a game that EA is gonna make where this guy is not super meta especially at the beginning of the game with these kind of stats that he's got and he's 91 rated so he's more rare so that's kind of what I'm thinking there now this is where it gets interesting right and as we just mentioned a lot of these women's players coming into the game we've got more players than ever in ultimate team and this right here in my opinion is the basically behind Nbappe the second best card that's a gold in the game no icons, no heroes considered this is the second best gold card in the game guys five star, five star Puteas and how do we even compare this to like how much will we even guess to think how much this card will be on the market right well we have to think through a few things we've got the Barcelona links so if you link Puteas to you know I almost said Usman Nemele he's not at Barcelona anymore but if you link Puteas to like let's say Lewandowski both Barcelona players even though one place for the women's team and one place for the men's team they get chemistry and that's gonna help a lot of these big club players that play on the women's side of the club this Puteas card with the play styles that she has which is a ton of them and the five star, five star and the stats that she has the only really comparable card that I can think of with the Barcelona links and everything else would be like old Messi cards guys and old Messi cards were you know almost a million coins I know the markets back then were different every year is different on the market but for a 91 rated card I can't imagine that there is only gonna be one gold card in Bape over a million coins I think this Puteas card might be or will be one to 1.1 million coins in the first couple of weeks just because of the rarity because of the links and because of five foot eight with those stats is like high medium work rates but it's insane man that is a disgusting card gonna be so so good in game as a center attacking mid so that's where I'm thinking for the Puteas card now a couple other women's players Devinia another five star, five star really insane looking card definitely gonna be a bit cheaper here I went back and forth on this one guys I was thinking this could this card could be 500k this card could be like 250k it all comes down to how much people are going to use the NWSL in my opinion because Brazil links yeah pretty solid NWSL links there's only a handful of players that are really that meta I still think though this card's probably gonna be around three to 400,000 coins just because of the five five and Brazilian now one more women's player that I wanna look at right here because this one like I said before has the club links that will matter imagine putting Sam Kerr and your team within cuncu right that is a link they would both get chemistry to each other because of the Chelsea links everybody used this card or they gave out one of these cards I think from what I heard rumors of the beta and people were using Sam Kerr a lot and they were saying that she is very good with the finesse shot I think she has finesse shot she does, play style finesse shot rapid, quick step and then of course power header so an all around good striker with technically primarily links with the club so I think that Sam Kerr card's also gonna be pretty expensive 400,000 coins because she's 90 rated as well guys and again that just means rarity for sure now I had to throw this one in for fun how much is this Oshawa card gonna be because everybody's talking about this striker right here with 90 finishing 91 pace 90 like the bad stat it's composure okay that's the let down 92 strength as well what? okay that's crazy man I mean I have to say 85 rated card I definitely think she is gonna get packed a good amount more than other ones like Sam Kerr but this card's gonna have so much hype I could see 150 to 200,000 coins which would honestly be comparable to the range of Marcus Rashford in terms of price but those stats are crazy it's all gonna come down to how these players play in game but those stats look absolutely crazy so like what else can you say now we look at a lot of prices but what I wanna do now is do a rapid fire we're gonna look through a bunch of different cards in a short amount of time maybe like five to 10 or something like that and just roll off some prices really fast cause I wanna look through a lot of cards for you guys cause I know a lot of cards you have questions about Christian Ronaldo big downgrade, right? His card last year wasn't even that expensive compared to Ronaldo cards always used to be like a million 1.5, 2 million coins even back when he was on the UVA this card for me this year is probably gonna be around the same price as Messi to 250,000 coins and it's probably just because it's Ronaldo, right? Saudi League links yeah, they're okay and that's really all to this but he does have the Power Shot playstyle plus so and it's Ronaldo with the five star skills and the four star weak foot so he's got that going for him I'm staying 200k for Ronaldo and 86 rated fodder Ronaldo I mean, man we're gonna have some of these cards hitting fodder prices so fast it's gonna be ridiculous but 91 ready killing Mbappe guys I got a prediction here gold card only one it's gonna be over two million coins I'm saying two to 2.2 mil for Mbappe in that first two weeks window because with the way this card got upgraded 78 physical which is only a plus two but once again I'll highlight it plus 11 jumping from his card last year he's got 90 shooting now he's five star four star he's got the quick step playstyle plus he's gonna be so fast because he also has the rapid playstyle as well and Travella this card's gonna be the most broken card in the game once again, 100% and I'm saying over two mil last year he was about 1.7 I'm saying two to 2.2 mil in the first couple of weekends now again this is a card that might have a little bit longer of a rise on the market his price may take a couple weeks to reach its max like here with Mbappe last year it did hit a 1.7 mil max in that first weekend but then he was back up to about 1.5 before he just slowly tailed off for the rest of the game as it kind of always goes so Mbappe two mil though for me this year let's move on Musa Diabi maybe a card a lot of you guys are eyeing for a starter card I'm looking at Diabi to be one of the best middle tier Prem right wings I'm saying about 75 to 85,000 coins for this card he's just gonna be flat out pace and he's a step above some of those other like starter wing players so that's why I'm gonna say about 75K for him also a transfer now moving on again Soboslaya another starter like a true starter team player I think this card's gonna be a really good budget player I'm saying 20,000 coins he has got a four star four star he's medium medium which isn't the best and his balance isn't that good but for an 82 rated and he's probably gonna be 20K for like the first week or two and then drop off to like 10,000 coins he's got a ton of play styles guys which I think will benefit him a lot he's got really solid stats around the rest of his card I'm saying 15 to 20K for Soboslaya which is a W Colomani the Bundesliga striker that is in the middle budget that a lot of people are going to want to get kind of compare Colomani to what Timo Werner used to be right Timo Werner was always like the one pacey striker that was in the Bundesliga I know Timo Werner is back in the Bundesliga now but I think this Colomani card is gonna be 50K because of the French links and because he just looks really cracked how much is what's Werner look like 91 pace, 80 shooting so definitely Colomani is better and Werner's three star skills four star week foot Colomani is four four so I think that gives the edge to Colo for sure maybe it will bump that price up for him just a little bit as a French striker let's say like 60K for Colomani somewhere right around that range but that obviously won't last for too long now here's an interesting one Robert Lewandowski he is actually after a two assist one goal performance he is on a shortlist to be in team of the week one and this is where we have questions once again how much will Gold Lewandowski be? Well last year he did have a once to watch card which definitely messed with his price for his Gold card a little bit and made him a bit extra rare but he wasn't that expensive he's like 40,000 coins in the first month of the game this year I think it all comes down to the meta he's mostly lengthy again like he was last year if he's got an inform though this Gold card maybe impacts it might not be that's gonna be one of the craziest things we're gonna have to figure out but I will say this 100% if we have an inform Lewandowski that is in packs to start the year like let's say it's something like this Lewandowski let's say he's 92 rated this year as well gets a plus one or a plus two that's gonna be a card that you will wanna keep your eye on in the early stages as a team of the week one investment with the Barca links that'll be a card that could be very good if the lengthy meta is still somewhat there or if this is a usable card which I'm sure it's gonna be in the early game watch out for a Lewandowski inform because that could be a cracked investment there but I'm saying for an inform Lewandowski I don't even know maybe like 200,000 coins to 50 and then maybe rising just because team week one is always rare to like three to 400,000 coins that sort of thing could happen so that's all the prices we're gonna look at today guys of course there are so many players starter team players, women's players added in players like Gavardi how much is Gavardi all gonna be to me 10, 15K in that first week and then he's gonna drop off and be fodder that sort of thing if you want me to look over any specific players in another video drop them down below but I do wanna say really quick we have a little bit more news all right, we have a little bit more news Foot Sheriff is starting to tweet out evolutions guys and this is just to really keep you guys up to date with what's going on as we move into FC 24 he is saying that we are gonna be getting some news for evolutions today on Sunday so watch out for that but he's mentioning that evolutions are gonna be kinda have like two different sections you can do a paid one that probably gets you a bigger upgrade like it shows you're an 85 rated Luis Muriel if you pay 50K and then another one that it's free that you can just grind through the objectives and then it's an 83 rated which I mean why did I think I not think about this before why am I not surprised by this that was my response to this tweet when I first saw it like man if this is how they're gonna keep evolutions behind like a paywall with FIFA points and coins like that's a bit disappointing at least you have an option to grind it without having to spend coins but that was one of the exciting things about evolutions was just play to upgrade and now there's a kind of a level up aspect to it where you had to like buy the card to then play the games to upgrade it right that's almost what it feels like here where you're paying coins or FIFA points to get yourself a bigger upgrade I don't know I don't like that so look for more news on that today looks like he's gonna be tweeting out some more leaks and then also a couple of these car designs we already knew but my goodness that team of the year nominee car design that is different and that is insane I really like that car design Premier League Player of the Months Bundesliga those look dope as well very simplistic but also not changed from previous years league one looks solid Serie A looks okay La Liga actually had the biggest change from last year if you look up La Liga's card from FIFA 23 that looks a lot different and then this objective card is another one that is very, very simple we've seen the flashback already that is on the pitch notes that EA updated but that team of the year nominee card for me was like what there's no gold in there man usually team of the year is like gold and stuff so I don't know that still looks crazy but that is a little bit different from in previous years so guys one day closer to get on FC 24 I'm excited let me know down in the comments what cards you want me to look at and I will see you guys in another video tomorrow it's been Nathan with account and catch you guys later peace out


We will start with the review of commas. Last time you had all received a table like this. It was given beforehand so that you could study at home because all this is difficult to understand at one stroke. I hope you have gone through this table. We will just go through again and see if you see the logic the first column is type of elements and their rank. That comma will always come between two elements. It will come between two words or between two clauses. So, if those elements are of equal rank then the first half of the table applies and if they are of unequal rank then the lower half of the table applies. So, we start with equal rank and whether it is unconditional or conditional. So, this is unconditional that is syntactic. Syntax is the structure of language which is independent of the meaning. It is independent of content. So, these uses of commas in the first three big boxes are unconditional is regardless of what is the content. If the type of content is like this we have to use it. So, first is by convention between two or more elements. So, first is name and title. So, Professor Isaac who was Dr. Fartek's teacher comma PhD will visit because name and title have to be separated by a comma. Then next address in address you have different elements you have say bidding them name of bidding then name of road name of the locality name of the town all these have to be separated to indicate that they are different categories of words. So, crescent comma IIT comma Pawai comma Mumbai 76 between the name of the town and the local postal code or if you have pin code there is no punctuation used. Similarly, within pin code there is no punctuation the six digits you have to write sequentially. Then geographical names crescent is in Mumbai comma India then dates August 15 1947. Now, if you why do we give a comma here after 15 because otherwise 15 and 1947 could get mixed you could read it either way, but there is no comma between August and 15 because one is a number the other is a alpha. So, it is obvious that they do not belong together, but the counter example no comma is 5 January 2013. So, if you alternate alpha and numeric then you do not have to give comma. So, with this version of date you do not need commas anywhere and we write 5 January 2013 not 5th January. If we are referring to the date in some sentence that it was January the 5th then we use 5th otherwise while writing a date we just write plain the number what is called the cardinal number that is 1 2 3 etcetera and 5th is an ordinal it shows order in a series. Then numbers we have to separate long numbers by punctuation. So, that reading becomes easier. So, the first style is 91 lakh 23456 this is Indian style that is after the first 1000 we give commas after every 2 because we have lakh crore etcetera. But international style is after every 3 digits because you go in 1000 million billion etcetera. Now, here it is given that telephone number should be broken up with hyphens because this is not one long 10 digit or 12 digit number. Actually numbers refer to different things it is not a number at all though it looks like a number. So, we give area code 022 hyphen 2576 which is the exchange code hyphen 7909 7900 which is the local code within the exchange. So, even while writing mobile numbers people write any which way. So, mobile numbers are 10 digits they should be written as 2 3 and 5 digit. The first 2 digits refer to the operator whether it is air tail reliance or anything. The second 3 digits is the exchange code of the operator and last 5 digits is your telephone number within that exchange. So, mobile number should also always be written like this with hyphenation it is easier to understand and it is difficult to get confused with this. Then next is the reference type is coordinating conjunctions. This comes exactly between 2 equal elements. The first one could come between 2 or more elements. So, these coordinating conjunctions you know from English language and but or not or so and yet. Now, all these examples are given the coordinating conjunction is joining 2 clauses over here. So, after the first clause which has its own meaning you put a comma to indicate that the clause has ended and before the coordinating conjunction is the comma comes and after coordinating conjunction the next clause comes. So, buy now and pay later with no comma buy now pay later the and is understood or sequence is understood. So, for short sentences sometimes you do not need a coordinating conjunction if the meaning is understood. So, this is all between when the equal elements are clauses for each for each coordinating conjunctions you have examples here. Then the third type is called serial comma that is when you have a long list of equal elements which are phrases or words. Many people tend to write this and with the what is called open punctuation. There is a tendency to avoid all punctuation. What is the difference between this and this? Is there a difference in meaning right and A has nothing to do with them. What is relationship between A and B or A and C is not clear from the comma only it says A is a separate element, but A could be standing alone. But the lower one what is the meaning? How are they related? This is equivalent to A and B and C. This comma before the and indicates that all previous commas are to be replaced by and. So, this is a short form with three elements you can write the comma twice. If you had ten elements you can try to write the and ten times. So, this one signals that whatever is the coordinating conjunction same is applicable to the whole previous series. So, if this is R then all these are R it is A or B or C. This is a short form for that that is why this comma should not be missed. This comma in UK is called the Oxford comma, because Oxford University recommended this originally. In US it is called the Harvard comma and generically it is called the serial comma between three and more elements. So, always make sure that you do not miss this comma with any coordinating conjunction. Then next we come to the conditional or semantic elements where the meaning is important. So, first is this is a bit tricky to understand.  So, this accurate detailed analysis means it is accurate analysis and detailed analysis. Both these are applicable individually to analysis you can hide one and still the meaning is complete. The meaning is taken together, but if you wanted to say inaccurate detailed analysis versus accurate detailed analysis where detailed analysis is common, but you are further modifying it by whether it is accurate or inaccurate. Then you do not have to give comma. So, if you are saying say white metal cup then it is a white cup and a metal cup, but if you want to say white metal cup versus black metal cup then you do not have to give a comma. So, technically we so this analysis is a noun and what is detailed an adjective what is accurate is also an adjective. If I remove this now what is this this is not looking at the noun directly adverb correct. So, adverb normally we learn that adverb is what modifies the verb, but adverb can modify another adjective or adverb can modify another adverb. So, to indicate that this is adverb or adjective the commas or the purpose and the meaning can change. So, I think remaining things we would not go through if you have any difficulty any time we can discuss. So, now we will go through some theory of written language and second assignment is distributed know after that we will do the second assignment. Now, over the last three classes when we started and when we asked whether anybody is interested in proofreading no hand went up may be one reason was you did not know what proofreading was. So, you intuitively know, but you may not be knowing that that is the technical word for it. But now after three sessions you might have realized that though it is not obvious proofreading matters. So, why is it that when it comes to spoken communication or for public speaking all hands went up everybody wants to a public speaker, but nobody wants to be a good writer it seems. So, this is because we tend to think that spoken language and written language are inter convertible. And if you learn good speech you will automatically learn good writing that is what we presume. We assume that writing is just for notating externally. So, that we do not have to memorize things otherwise it is just notated speech that is how we come to believe. But if we see how we learn spoken and written language from 0 to 1 year of age a child only produces indistinct sounds normally. It will produce some sounds, but there is no meaning or logic to it and they are not sounds of language, but the child is listening all the time. Only thing is it cannot express itself it cannot produce the sounds it does not have the motor ability to do that. Approximately at one year the child will speak its first word and you must have experience in your family. Whenever a child speaks its first word there is kind of celebration because then the child really start becoming a human being. What distinguishes human beings from animals that animals do not have language. So, the child starts acquiring language and then the child picks up very fast. Just by listening you do not have to teach the child you have to allow it to be around you. It will listen to the adults and it will figure out whole structure of the language. You do not we do not teach grammar to children, we do not teach pronunciation. They will pick up depending on what the surrounding people are doing. Between 1 to 3 years of age child has mastered the complete structure of the language. Even if adults make mistake in speaking it accounts for those mistakes and it derives the structure of the language. Its vocabulary may be limited or its knowledge may be limited, but it actually has full command of language at the age of 3. And you must have experience with children that even complex thought they will try to express and they will try to understand. And this is normally your mother tongue. You must have a doctor protect insisting that why mother tongue is important. This is like your operating system because your next language will be built on this. If this itself is not proper your second third language also will not be proper. This is why mother tongue is important. So, all this happens without any school, without any teacher, without any exams, without any technique. This normally happens in home. We take this for granted, but unless this is done the child is not ready for school. Schools get a child ready made which we do not realize. The brain learns to recognize patterns in sounds during the first year. After that the brain can hear sounds, but it cannot recognize patterns. This is a time window for the brain. Say you must have read that nowadays there is insistence that you should get your child check whether its hearing is proper. And the word deaf mute. Person who is deaf from early age is always mute. It can produce sounds but it cannot speak. Even if by some operation you restore the physical hearing it will only hear noises. It cannot recognize patterns. That window is only within the first year where you can recognize the patterns and classify them as sounds of language. So, first the child acquire that then it acquire the structure of the language. And then nowadays children start reading writing early, but the conventional age is 6 years when you enter first standard. So, the schools get the child ready. It already has knowledge of the language. And what the school does is only teach written language. What we call literate starts after this. For this also there is a slot may be up to 12, 15 years of age. If somebody does not become literate within that it is very difficult to pick up literacy later on even if the person is intelligent. So, school education is really the key to literacy. If that is missed out in school you cannot make up. Adult education which everybody is trying to promote that people who have missed out. It is extremely difficult. They can only learn a few words and if you see they are handwriting is like children. They do not pick up the skills. It is only in early age that we can pick up the skills. So, after this you must have remembered your childhood that from first standard onwards how step by step you have to made up first simple sentences that then complex sentences, then complex thoughts, paragraphs, story writing, letter writing etcetera. So, written language has to be acquired step by step. So, we are born to speak and here it is nature's gift. But we are not born to write. If left to ourselves we will never learn written language. So, it is not just writing is a reflection of speech. It is a different medium altogether. So, what is the difference between now written language many people learn technically they can write using the script and we tend to think that everybody is equal. They can write. Written language itself has two parts. One is you can call colloquial or natural and second is you can call systematic or refined. In India this was called prakrit and this was called sanskrit. Prakrit literally means natural that is you do not make any special it is like eating natural foods you do not process. Sanskrit means processed literally it means refined or processed. So, now there is no sanskrit left even abroad. Their classical languages are gone. Latin Greek nobody studies Latin Greek to become a scholar. So, now the prakrits which were English, German etcetera have taken over the role of classical languages. In Greek they had to have they had this was demotic Greek there is demos means people and this was called heretic Greek that is language of the priests. So, in any society you will find there are always two levels of language. Now there is apparently only one level. So, we tend to think that everybody is literate, but now also there is a refined level which now is called edited English. And what we are trying to achieve is that we have natural English, we are trying to achieve competence in edited English. So, edited English is used in academia in all publications, in commercial publications, in industry, government, any organization, any formal communication has to be in edited English. And since you will be associated with all these organizations whether you are in government, academia, industry, social work whatever you will be communicating in writing should be in edited English. Then you will belong to the class which is of equals and you will be taken seriously. So, first is you have to master your own language and then why suppose you can write correctly, then why learn proofediting if you can write correct the first time around. Because you will be handling tens or hundreds of other people who will not be as refined as you otherwise they would not be working for you. So, and you cannot write everything yourself, you will expect them to write, you will expect them to produce reports etcetera and you will have to go through them. So, you will have to know proofediting etcetera to guide them to improve their language. It is not only for your even if you achieve perfection for yourself, you will need to guide other people who are working for you. So, that they improve their command of language. So, like any art, like you have pop music for which you do not need any training, you have some natural musical sense from that you can make out it a simple rhythm, simple melodies. Against this there is classical music. So, pop music is a natural taste because we have natural attraction for music, but classical music is an acquired taste.  Similarly, edited English is an acquired skill, you cannot just be literate and become a proficient in that. You have to build it up and you can you have to go on building up. Like last time when we were reviewing reviewing the proofediting assignment somebody pointed out that the happen should have been after L or before L. So, a given answer which turned out to be correct that if the word is to be broken at the end of a line and if the word consists of many parts like suffix and the root, then it should be broken at that. If there is no obvious division of the word, then it should be broken on the syllable that is unspoken. But first priority is for the structure of the word. The structure should not be broken. So, this gives a theory that why it takes so long and why we have to take so much effort to learn edited English. So, already that is why we have done some measurements and we will see that throughout this course when the assignments build up. You will realize that with the symbol that you know and the experience that you have. You will keep on improving, you will see that you will find more and more errors and you will learn to read to find errors. And then when you write your assignments etcetera or reports their quality will improve. That is a real payoff. Finally, the real outcome of this course should be that your writing should improve by the time you finish your chemtech or PhD. What your final work is should be if you people read that they should find it easy to read and they should admire you. So, this is only a start we have just launched you on the journey. So, now I think we will take up assignment to you can correct it and then we will immediately show you the master also. It is only one and a half page. This is the previous assignments you must have wondered because they were all artificial. This one is natural. This is actually somebody's draft which we have taken as it is and given to you and this is how the matter will come to you. This is the level at which the matter will come to you. So, go ahead we will have say about 10 minutes and if we get time we will go through the model solution.


Hey guys, it's Nate, A.K. The Foot Account, and welcome back to the channel. What a crazy Friday we had yesterday with day one of foot what if team number two. We'll talk about all the stuff that happened, the crazy panic selling that there was. Talk about this team two and what it means, what we learned from yesterday, and also a couple of quote unquote leaks that we also learned about with the stuff going forward, right? We had the combination of two for one packs being released into the pack code as well as a guaranteed what if player SBC pack being added to the code as well. And that was what caused a lot of panic yesterday. And then EA messed up like lightning rounds yesterday. And honestly, just right now on this game, it feels like there is not a lot of hype. The promo team is not that good. And of course, I feel like we are on thin ice right now with this game. We're on thin ice in terms of this market is just not very alive. There's not a lot of hype. So I want to today talk about why this market is kind of bleeding the way that it is right now. What this means and honestly why this kind of happens every year around this point and what the whole two for one packs could do. I don't know if they're coming out today or if they guaranteed what if player SBC is coming out today but since those SBCs are in the code that's kind of hanging over our heads. And that is impacting the market 100%. Now here you see this is the code that was released yesterday on Friday right before the promo drop. And there was tons and tons of panic specifically on the what if players from team. Number one, this in Babu's 343, which by the way, I think this card is so cheap right now because nobody can find it on the game because it is not searchable under the what if feature. I think that is playing a large part into why this card is so cheap. But this guy was 380K, dropped down in the panic to 335, went back to 370 and is now chilling in the 330s, 340s once again going back down. Most of the other what if cards rebounded back up though. Le Meleu still is pretty low, Marcelo guaranteed the upgrade pretty cheap. A lot of these cards, as you can tell by their graphs, we'll take a look at Yovish for example. I mean, this guy got panic sold so much early on Friday morning with the announcement of that code. It was announced about right here, he was 132. He went down to about 110 actually right so I'm at and has now bounced back to about 130. So right now kind of the hype on FIFA honestly is these live cards. A lot of these guys are playing games today on Saturday. So we're gonna 100% if I could type in correctly. Sofa score. We're gonna 100% need to watch Burnley Arsenal, right? There's live cards playing inside of that game today. Sevilla of course, you know, all of these Hoffa and I'm with the Genduzzi. You've got a big game with Borussia Dortmund and Bayern Munich, right? We have some live cards on the line there as well. There's no Feyenoord plays, so for Leroy Faire, there's some games today on Saturday with some what if cards that will 100% have to keep an eye on. But this was really the cause of all of that panic yesterday. Now, the entire market was honestly panic sold. If we take a look at some of these cards as well, our popular golds, Mbappe and Neymar, Cristiano Ronaldo were down so much. This Mbappe went from 800,000 coins yesterday, 809, 820, all the way down to 727, rebounded back to almost 800K and is now chilling. But this is still significantly lower than what he was. So I think right now a lot of people have sold some stuff and just the way the market is right now on FIFA, nobody is like hyped up to try cards except for some of the new icon moments and possibly heading into next week with live cards and road to the finals. Like the only thing that I would be messing around with, the only thing that seemed to be hyped up by people or people are interested in right now in FIFA is live cards, whether that's road to the finals or these what if cards and icon moments. Because icon moments, the ones they released today had some pretty big juice on the boost. Kaka's card was like plus six pace, looks incredible, right? There's a lot of these moments cards. Owen got a five star week foot upgrade. So a lot of people were trying him out and we just had a very interesting day on Friday. And again, the SBC fodder is so high and I wanna also talk about the potential for these two for one packs and what it could do for the market. So again, let's talk about this for a second. What are the two for one packs? Now the last year what they did, they dropped these packs last year literally on this date last year. Now I'm not saying they're gonna do it today, I honestly don't think they are gonna do it today because of some other stuff that we saw on Twitter today. Yesterday, we thought it was gonna come out on the promo on Friday, but it didn't. It's looking like according to Twitter that it is gonna be coming out next Friday with the return of the foot player days promo from FIFA 20, which I want to click on right here if I could find it. FIFA 20 foot player days. I think it's this one right here maybe. Foot player days, FIFA 20, yeah. So last year they had this, they dropped the Konami Bowl based man of the match items. They had two for one packs and coin discount packs, tiered engagement rewards, prime icons and draft, extra week and league player picks, and icon swaps three. Now imagine we are on icon swaps two right now with only nine tokens available. Last year at the same date we were on icon swaps three. So that just gives you a sense of how much of an L icon swaps have been this year in total. Anyways, but last year they released the same kind of thing at this time. Kind of an early March, they released these buy one get one free packs. And again how it works is, let's say you purchase a pack here with coins or FIFA points in the store, right? If it's two for one, it'll say jumbo rare players packs two for one. You'll open the pack just like normal and inside of it, you'll have a full regular pack. Inside of it you'll have basically one of those like pack tokens that we'll say here, you click on this and you redeem it for another pack of the same value. That's how a two for one pack works. Now also they'll have half price packs. So basically if you have 25K and 45K packs sitting here, you will have packs for 22,500 coins and you will have packs for 12,500 coins sitting here and the FIFA points will be the same but the coins will be half the price and it'll be the same pack. So that's how like the buy one get one free or two for one also known as same thing and then coin discount packs, that's how they work. But the issue with those packs is is that if people were contemplating putting on FIFA points, I mean literally what more of a reason do you need? You have a promo team in packs. People on FIFA have just spent their entire clubs worth on SBC fodder as this stuff is dropping out today with the lightning round supply. It's just gonna keep going down especially if we get more and more supply. If they do two for one packs like this stuff is gonna get destroyed honestly because the supply is gonna be insane on the fodder and on everything that is in packs when two for one packs come out because people start opening packs with coins and that is very risky, right? Because they say, hey, 100,000 coins, I get two packs for this. Let me see if I can make my money back. But of course, you know when EA do that, the pack weight is still sold very low that you never really ever come out on top and it just drains the market of coins. People open packs to try to get cards. Now if fodder was this expensive and they dropped two for ones, then I would say sure. But honestly, I think that this makes sense for EA to wait to drop the player days promo until next week when fodder has maybe dropped off a little bit more throughout this next week before next Friday so that people don't make as many coins when they spam these packs if they were to set them out next Friday. So that's why there was a lot of panic selling yesterday on Friday is because the potential for a market crash even more so even after we've had so many coins that have been drained off the market through the icon player pick SBCs, through player pick packs in general, even more coins would be taken off this game if they would drop a two for one packs on this game. Now of course, you think about a guaranteed what if player SBC because some of these new what if items are in packs and of course, instead of a party bag, it looks like we might be getting this guaranteed what if SBC, which to be honest with you is not that bad. Now this retry was that I'm kind of interested right now because this guy was very, he was like 1.7 mil earlier today. How much supply does he have to 1.6? He really has no supply. So some of these cards are probably gonna bounce around but I think you might see some people that will sell these cards ahead into 6 p.m. today on Saturday because they will be thinking that guaranteed what if player SBC pack could be dropping. Now I don't think I would expect that to come until at least Sunday, the second day of a promo, EA releasing a guaranteed player pack from the team that is in packs and the team one. I don't think you would see that sort of a sort of thing happen right away but I guess it is possible that they could do something along those lines in this game. But I think that'll be more like a Sunday or Monday type timeframe but I think today you'll see panic selling on the brand new what if cards and some of the team one what if cards as well. You'll probably see some selling there on both sides but again if we take a look at this team from team number two like look at just look at how much these players cost and that tells you why there's not a lot of hype. Literally everybody in this entire team is under 300,000 coins except for the three attackers at the top with Charleston, Mertens and Morales and literally everybody else is under 300K. Like these cards, yes they are kind of cool we really haven't seen too many of them except for Mbabu and Marcelo get upgraded yet. Now we do have one, two, three, four only four defenders this time around. Pereya, Pepe and Regulan only four defenders right? The rest are midfielders or attackers so it's all about the goals for these teams and the clean sheets for Spurs, Porto and Lesser City. So we're definitely gonna have to keep an eye on those games but even when these cards get upgraded like we saw with Mbabu there's just not a lot of hype in this game right now because everybody has exhausted their clubs they've exhausted their coins and this is honestly we were talking about this like two weeks ago but this is honestly like a time of the year where people literally quit playing this game because they have no more fodder they have nothing else in their clubs to do or to I guess do anything in the game with. So that is kind of very interesting to see that happen right now. So EA is gonna have to try to revive it at some point this week with something. Of course we got the player of the month Messi that came out yesterday as well and that SBC price just keeps dropping because EA with the juice on this SBC I was number one surprised they made this a center forward card I thought they were gonna make it a right wing because usually for player of the month they always use the base card position but EA went out and made it a center forward they gave it a 96 pace card and since they juiced the stats made it a 96 this SBC is coming in right around two million coins SBC fodder is gonna continue to drop this SBC is gonna be cheaper right? If you are anybody and this is what I was telling my stream earlier today if you are somebody who wants to do any SBCs right now and it's out for a while like Messi is out for 30 days the mid prime player pick is still out for five more days some of these other icon SBCs like Nedved who is now still a million coins I would keep waiting on these because if we do get those two for one packs especially for like Nedved and for Messi that's gonna drop fodder a lot so I would 100% expect these SBCs to get cheaper if you can wait like a week or two weeks in max to start crafting them to start saving up some fodder from rewards and stuff to do them for cheaper I would 100% recommend that because still SBC fodder is crazy, crazy, crazy high in terms of what it normally is so again if you're looking for stuff to trade with this weekend look at these brand new what if cards like this with Charleston he's 1.4 he's now 1.47 this is probably gonna bounce up today Diada is one of the most popular players from this team too purely because of his pace Ricardo Pereira right back kinda replaces Cancelo if you wanna try him out Morales looks cool Regulan and Talvin and right you look at the rest of his team Merton's okay and just not very, very hype honestly the prime icon moments were one of the most hype things that happened yesterday and then of course EA didn't release lightning rounds or they had like glitched packs for a while so that was a mess but yeah today on Saturday it's just the theme of this market right now to expect panic selling people are literally panic selling at any drop of the hat that they can because there's just not a lot to do and any potential content that could be dropping of course when it is put out in the code like it was yesterday there's always people that are gonna panic sell for that and this market just seems continually to be on strings so I would honestly expect some prices to drop into the day today on Saturday as some people maybe are expecting the two for one packs today I don't know how likely that is again of course with the Twitter stuff that we saw but people are probably gonna be you know putting some thought into that and thinking that that SBC court could come or the guaranteed what if player SBC so I do think you will see a bit of panic today now one area of the market I wanna kind of touch on is road to the finals because those are live cards especially especially champions they wrote to the finals because there will be upgrades coming to the Champions League cards next Friday that are road to the finals now the Europa League ones again they have to move on to the next leg so there won't be any upgrades next week for Europa League cards only four players from Champions League games on Tuesday and Wednesday from the 9th and the 10th so Dortmund, Sevilla, Juventus, Porto and then Liverpool, Leipzig, PSG, Barcelona from those teams and those games there will be upgrades so of course we could have our boy Brandt and Akonji upgraded again of course Juventus and Porto that's more like SBCs but then you have Liverpool with Salah and Wijnaldum you've got of course PSG with Draxler and Acardi Barcelona with Griezmann potentially getting upgraded this next Friday so road to the final cards will be a 100% watch if it's a card that has a game and I would still I know a lot of people have lost coins did I just sell Messi? Wow, I lost coins with this Messi today I'm losing coins right now man because this market is very, very tough to trade in so I'm just kind of refocusing and trying to think about spots where people actually want to spend their coins I'm on 2.7 to 2.8 mil at the moment as you can see this with Trollison was really, really expensive earlier today I'm low key trying to find one of these tonight about 1.4, if I can find one at 1.4 I will buy it and try to flip it into the morning because I think this guy is going to be like 1.6 again kind of where he was we'll see about that but a lot of these what ifs really aren't bouncing around that much from where they were just because there's not too much hype with them you can get on open bids as well open bids are great because there's less people on the market last night when I was actually on stream I watched a record breaker Van Dyke go for 724,000 coins on an open bid so if you do have some coins and you want to make some out there try to get on the open bids because there's less eyes on the game that means just less bidding less people paying attention to the market with a drive to make coins so that's definitely one of the things you can do I'm going to be watching Primike on moments prices 100% I love trading with these cards and people that are on high budgets in this game are trying out some of the new cards so that is an area where I do think you can see some fluctuation and some demand this weekend still just because of these brand new cards they're juiced up stats and people have a desire to try on them because some of these Icon moments upgrades are very, very nice EA GG's with those they look fun that's honestly one of the most fun things that we saw from the promo this weekend but I do think you will see some panic selling this weekend especially today and as we look towards the weekend we sell out we'll talk about that a little bit tomorrow but road to the final live items and still some of these what if cards I would keep an eye on I'm not too much in the investing and fodder type stuff but if there were to be a guaranteed what if SBC today I think you would see some of the fodder go up for sure I don't know how much how expensive that kind of SBC would be but still you're 83s and you're 84s if you want to do a club stock at the very least some of these cards don't look too bad right now right if you mean you've got Douglas Costa who's like 8.8K but when big time SBCs come out I mean this guy goes upwards of like 15,000 coins in the heat of the moment so you can see Douglas Costa when he gets to about 8 to 9K he usually then shoots up to 13 at some point and right now he's back at the 8 to 9K range so some of your good SBC links are getting kind of low again so this could be something to keep an eye on for 83s and 84s since they are pretty low on the market right now and I do think that if they release a guaranteed what if SBC they could do like an 83 or 84 rated squad with an informer too and that could be basically like the perfectly priced SBC to make people try to gamble but then of course as well try to pack one of these big what if cards because it's all about SBCs right now in this game and if EA are doing a great job of taking coins off the market making that like the sole focus of what people want to do so that's the video for today boys I know a lot of you guys are losing coins and that makes you not very hyped to play this game or to even try to trade but I do want to try to continue to bring the best content possible in terms of the market just analyzing it and of course explaining why things are down where they are at and what these new pack codes what these new packs could do to the game because it could be a disaster if they were to release those today but it looks like we're not expecting them yet we'll probably see a pretty heavy week in the sell off hopefully we can see some what if movements some goals scored today on Saturday from teams that have got multiple goals scored already like of course Dortmund will be heavily watching them because of their game today on Saturday of course Arsenal versus Burnley if Burnley can put a few goals past or sorry if Arsenal can put a few goals past Burnley today we might have an Odegaard upgrade so that's the video for your Saturday boys if you did enjoy it smash a thumbs up comment down below if you have any questions and subscribe if you're new it's been Nate the Photocount and I will catch you guys later peace
