Hey guys, it's Nate, AKA The Foot Accountant. Welcome back to the channel. In this video, we're gonna be taking a look at some FIFA 22 price predictions for the first couple weeks of the game. What I'm aiming to do here is just give you a ballpark of where I think this player's price will be just so you can plan and get ready and what to expect when you see this card on the FIFA 22 market in the first one to two weeks of the game. These prices are not gonna be day one prices, probably more like day seven prices as we've seen the market move a little bit and as most people are starting to get on the game with early access and such. So these prices are probably not what you're gonna see right away, but this is just kind of like a ballpark area of where I think that player will settle in the first two weeks of them being on the market and inside of the game. Also, I think I'm gonna talk a little bit more about preview packs because I think that's gonna impact this market, especially the lower tier. I think it's gonna make the lower tier cheaper in the beginning of the year this year with more supply. Preview packs just literally brings more supply. It brings more coins to the market in some ways, sometimes, but it's gonna bring more supply and that to me means that the lower tier is gonna go down and that cards are gonna drop off faster than they ever have. So if you're enjoying these videos on the channel, make sure you leave a thumbs up and of course, subscribe if you are new. But I just mentioned the preview packs. I wanna talk to you about why I think those movements are gonna happen. Take a look at Griezmann PTG. No preview packs were out when he was released. He was released as a 95-rated card. Boom, 3.5 million coins. A week later, preview packs are out. 95-rated Firmino, he was 95, I believe, when he was first released, only 2 million coins on the first day, even dropped to 1.3. So that just gives you a glimpse at how much supply could be differentiating from last year to this year for the beginning part of the game. But again, I really think since the preview packs that you're gonna see at the start of this game are not gonna be 1,500, 125K packs, that's really gonna only affect mostly the lower tier market. But let's get into surprise predictions. Let's start off with my boy Hyunmin Sun. Confirm to not be five-star, five-star. Now, last year in FIFA 21, we're gonna be using a lot of FIFA 21 prices and talk about again, how this market's changing this year and that'll give us a ballpark for this year's price. Last year in FIFA 21, Hyunmin Sun was very hyped because he was really good in FIFA 20. He was a center forward card and a lot of people thought he was gonna be the best left mid in the prem. He reached a peak of 350,000 coins early on but then dropped off because Marcus Rashford and five-star skills became more of the meta than the five-star weak foot that Sun had. I think this year, Sun is still going to be around that 300,000 coin range. I feel like the three to 350 range for Sun is still gonna be where he's at because I think a lot of people like to, Sun is gonna be good in FIFA, especially if there are finesse shots that are really good. He's got the finesse shot trait. He's got the five-star weak foot. His rating went up too. So in theory also that would mean that he is more rare. So I'll even up my price range for Sun somewhere between 350 to 400K seems legit for this Hyunmin Sun card. Even though there's Marcus Rashford and so many people are used to the five-star skill meta, I still think that Sun Aldo's gonna be expensive this year because I think stat wise he is the best left mid in the Premier League to start the game. Let's keep rolling though with a lower tier card, Phil Foden, massive upgrade to start this year from a 79 rated last year to an 84 rated this year. Now this one's a bit tricky, right? This one's a bit tricky because it's a big upgrade but this card's gonna be meta regardless. 87 dribbling on this card is a center attacking mid with 84 pace. That is a really good mid to lower mid budget, maybe not even lower mid, mid to mid high actually in terms of price card for a center attacking mid in the Premier League with the English links, the Manchester City links, 87 dribbling. He's gonna have a really high agility balance. I'm kind of comparing this Phil Foden card to Anthony Martial of last year in FIFA 21. Now I don't think he's gonna be as expensive as Martial was, Martial was 160 to 170,000 coins. I think this Phil Foden is gonna be somewhere in the range of like 100 to 125K. I think you will break that 100K range. This would be a card early on that I would really watch because those price ranges for this item might be messed up and you know when price ranges, when cards are extinct and when you know where a card could be on the market price wise, based off of hype, based off of links, this item might be one to keep an eye on for something you could make coins off of early on. But I think he's gonna be over 100,000 coins in that first week and I think that's gonna be kind of his price settling around that 100K range just because of his great links, the hype that he has, the player that he is and all that good stuff. So that's my Phil Foden prediction. Now, let's move on to a lower tier player, all right? We're gonna be jumping through high tier, mid tier, low tier throughout this whole video. 79 rated liqueur. This is his confirmed card. It's not in the database yet but 88 pace, 80 defense, 77 physical. Now, this is where the preview pack scenario kind of pulls in here a little bit. This is a card that you would definitely use for the first couple of weeks of FIFA after that or maybe even after the first week or two. This guy's probably not gonna be in your team anymore. Yes, he has great pace but his defending stats are not gonna cut it. So what is gonna happen to his card price? I think a great place to look as a comparable card from last year is the 80 rated Lucas Colostrum. And now of course, Colostrum has a great card this year in FIFA 22 as well but take a look at how much Colostrum was last year. 29,000 coins, basically hit a peak of 30K within that first two week window from when the start of the game came out. I feel like with the 79 rated that liqueur is this year with the preview pack supplying that lower tier market a little bit, this card might hit a high of like 30,000 coins, 35,000 coins in that first week but then after that, he's gonna be dropping off severely. I really think that he's gonna hit a peak kind of here in the first five to 10 days depending on if he's extinct and has price range issues I think he's gonna hit a peak in the first five to 10 day window and then drop off massively just like Colostrum did last year. Now of course, Lacroix has really good links.  Now again, Colostrum has got a beast of a card himself this year. I think this card is gonna probably be around 40,000 coins. I think maybe even Lacroix and Colostrum are both around that 40K range at a peak but I really, really, really feel like they will drop off after that just because of the lower ratings and the preview packs having some impact on that supply this year. So there's an expectation for some of those really cheap but also really meta, sorry, not really cheap but really low rated, really meta center backs to start off the game. Now, let's talk about the big bad man at center back. Everybody hates him from FIFA 21, that is Varan, right? Varan, 86 rated so he's still around the same rating or the exact same rating that he was last year in FIFA 21 but he is now no longer Real Madrid. Positives to this. Positive is he's in the Premier League. That means he gets even better links. Negative is he is no longer a perfect link to Ferlan Mendy, AKA the best left back in the game. People are still gonna figure out ways to link that Mendy card. I can already see it now instead of using this Varan. Well, they're still gonna use a Varan and Mendy. They're just gonna link him with a different midfielder than they did before. So I think this Varan card is gonna be the most expensive center back in the Prem. He's gonna be more expensive than Van Dyke purely off of the FIFA 21 hype. And of course, the links that he has Manchester United and French. Last year, Varan's card was 270 to 300,000 coins in the first two week period, peaking at the end of October at 330K. I think this year, Varan is probably gonna be 400,000 coins. That's, I'm not even kidding. I think this Varan card is gonna be 400,000 coins purely because of the links that he has the GGMU and just how overpowered he's always been a good card. But he was extremely overpowered last year. And again, what do we always say? People start off the new game with what was meta last year.  Last year, Virgil Van Dyke's card was 560,000 coins. Now this is the opposite effect. In FIFA 20, Van Dyke was incredibly overpowered. All of his cards were insane. He was probably the most popular center back. And that was, of course, the year that he had all of his special cards, had a tremendous year for Liverpool and stuff like that. He was very overpriced last year. And you can see his price dropped off a lot. Even though he was still one of the best center backs in the game, his price dropped off a significant amount as people just figured out this Van Dyke card wasn't that great. And guys like that Rafael Varan were much better. Now Van Dyke was 560K last year. I still think that with this Varan being 86 rated, I think that being 500 to 600K, 600K is a little bit too much, I think, for this Varan. I think that's the top tier of the range. But 400 to 450, maybe at some point hitting 500K if he's still incredibly overpowered in game is possible for this Varan. But he's not gonna be cheap. He's gonna be one of the most expensive center backs in the game, for sure. Let's go to the low tier once again. But a incredibly hyped up card. Now this one's gonna be hard to call. It's gonna be very hard to pinpoint this price. But I'm gonna do my best to talk it through. Renato Sanchez. League one has more hype this year than ever. It's Premier League always number one. But then this year, I think League one's number two. The PSG links. There's even plenty of Portuguese links inside of the League one, especially for starter teams. Nuno Menz, the left back for PSG is a nice green link to this Renato Sanchez. There's plenty of options out there. Bomba as a left mid from Leo, right? There's plenty of options to link this Renato Sanchez. And I think that with the overpowered hype that this card was last year, as you guys know, and with the huge boost, I did not realize how big of a boost this guy got. 79 pace plus five pace for Renato Sanchez. Absolutely incredible on this boost from EA Sports. They're riding the hype for sure. But last year, this Renato Sanchez was six to 7,000 coins. Yeah, you're gonna have to times that by 10 this year to get Renato Sanchez's price. I think a great comparison to the start of FIFA 21 last year is my man, Alan St. Maxim. I think that the hype level with this card and the hype level with Renato Sanchez are similar. And this Alan St. Maxim card peaked at about 62 to 63,000 coins. He actually went out of packs because he has an inform. That's why he went up to almost 80K. But I could see Renato Sanchez is 100% 50K plus at the start of the game this year. I could honestly see this card being 60, 70, 80,000 coins. If he's 100K, that's a bit crazy to me. I think 100K is a bit crazy. Can I see it? Not really. So it's also gonna be a card that it depends on how good it is in game. But it's again gonna be one of those situations like even you saw with St. Maxim where the low rating really starts to catch up with you in that second to third week of the game. He goes from 80K all the way down to 40K. His price cuts in half in the matter of a week and a half just because of the low rating and the start of the full game being released and people just upgrading over cards like this to something better. So I know Renato is probably more, I guess, game breaking than that Alan St. Maxim. But that's why I'm thinking Renato's gonna be pushing almost 100K range, but probably like 70 to 80K in that ballpark, that's my opinion. Now, we're going back to the high tier. This one we have to talk quickly about, Cristiano Ronaldo. This is the biggest year for Ronaldo and FIFA since FIFA 19, in my opinion. FIFA 19 was when Ronaldo was incredibly overpowered and his card peaked at 2.5 million coins in November. He started off at about 1.8, 1.6 mil, 1.6 on PS, 1.8 on Xbox. Renato starts about the same every year, but this year's gonna be different. Ronaldo usually starts at about 1.6 to 1.8 mil and then he goes up, if he's meta, he goes down if he's not meta. Last year, he went down, started at 1.8, went down to the 1.5s. This year, team change, Manchester United hype, all the links that this brings is Ronaldo card. He's going to be out of packs as a ones to watch. I am saying right now that Ronaldo is going to be about two to 2.5 million coins in that first week, to second week of this game. I really think that Ronaldo is going to be that expensive. The five star skills, the four star weak foot, the Premier League links, just the GGMU hype in general with preview packs, that's going to supply the lower tier market more, but it's going to put more coins in some people's hands and they're going to go after some of those top tier cards that are still so rare. I think it's going to inflate some of those a little bit. I think Ronaldo's going to be the most expensive off the start of the year that he's ever been. I think most people would agree with me on that one because of the Manchester United links and the ones to watch, which will pull his gold card out of packs. That's definitely going to be a huge rise there. Let's talk about the best gold card in the game, in my opinion, Mr. Killian Mbappe. This card is going to be more expensive than ever as well. I'm calling two million coins for Mbappe this year because he was just the man, the glitch, right? That's how he was known. It's last year, the five star skills, the four star weak foot, even more PSG links. The link came together this year. I think this Mbappe is going to be two million coins, at least right after that, maybe even a little bit more. It's going to be a crazy, crazy, crazy. These high tier cards are going to be expensive, man. I can already feel it at the start of the year. So those are two big boys right there with Cristiano Mbappe. Let's take it down a notch back to Eddie Militao. I know we're flying through a lot of these price predictions, but I know a lot of you guys like it. So let's keep moving on. Eddie Militao, 82 rated. It's a boost from last year. Last year it was like what, 30, 40K? Yeah, 36,000 coins is where he peaked, and you can see he absolutely got destroyed later on in price. I think Militao is going to be 50, 60K this year because part of that is because you no longer have Veran to link with Mendy. This is your center back link to Furlan Mendy at the start of the game. Which by the way, Furlan Mendy is going to be a 150,000 coin card. It's just the way that it is. He's the best left back in the game besides Alfonso Davies to start the year. Non-icon, non-foot heroes. I don't know if there's any foot hero left backs, but this Militao has a very increased demand this year because of those links to Mendy, and of course his upgrade in the card just looks cracked. So that's why I'm saying Militao's going to be 50, 60, 70,000 coins somewhere in that range in the first two weeks. Speaking of another Real Madrid man, I think this hazard card still has value, but he is going to be cheaper. Now this is a different scenario. Yes, he links to Furlan Mendy, a little 451 left mid to left back green link, boom. Your chemistry for both of those cards sorted. Last year, that's what people used him for. 88 pace, big drop off this year to only 84 pace. Last year was 150K on average between 170 and 120. I think the hazard this year is going to be around 80,000 coins. Another drop off in price, maybe even 75, maybe even a little bit lower than that. I think this card still looks like a decent mid tier center attacking mid though, if you position change in game and put him to center attacking mid. So I like this hazard card. I still think he's going to be semi-expensive, but the lower rating means he's going to get packed more as well. And then 100% makes me think his price is going to drop off from last year a pretty significant amount. Next, Marcus Rashford. Of course the competitor to Hyunmin Sun with those GGMU links, links to Pogba, links to even Phil Foden with the English links, links to Ronaldo, right? And the five star skills. Only a three star weak foot though. That is going to hurt his price. I think a little bit. I think a little bit. Now last year Rashford flew under the radar from the start. Then of course people began to realize that he was super overpowered and rose up to almost 300,000 coins after being about 180. I think Rashford this year is going to be over 200K. Again, his rating is still the same in 85. He did lose one pace but he went up and shooting. His card is basically the same as last year. Minus the small details. I think Marcus Rashford this year is going to be more expensive though. It's going to be 200 to 250,000 coins in those first two weeks just because the Manchester United hype again and the five star skills and how people were used to using Rashford last year at the start of the game. Let's drop it down low again for rating and go at 82. Pepe, this card for me looks cracked. This is no more than 20,000 coins and he doesn't go up from there. If he's any more than 20 or 30K, you are selling this card instantly because this card is not going to last at that price range for very long. I really don't think so. I know he's got the Portuguese links which are solid but League of Nuts links, you just can't keep building on a squad with this guy at the center back. You're going to have to upgrade within the first two to three weeks of FIFA. This guy's price is definitely going to drop off when that does happen. So again, 20K max, 30K is pretty crazy for me on this one. Get it out, take the coins, go somewhere else with those coins would be my opinion. But he is going to be expensive right away. Starter Squad B is probably 10 to 20K in the first couple of days and then that's probably going to be his max as a lot of the lower tier cards will be. Even as we looked at Renato Sanchez's card, let me find this one for you. This is how the price graph is going to look for like 80% of cards in FIFA Ultimate Team in the first couple of days. They're going to rise up, they're going to be rare. They're going to get packed though later on after the first few days and drop off a bunch. So that's why again, I'd be very careful with the Gallic Pepe, Vertongan, even Lequan, Klosterman, who will have a little bit more long staying value than maybe Pepe and Vertongan, but they're a little rated, they're going to drop off a lot in price. Last card right here, Marcus Llorente, 86 rated a big boost from last year. And I'm going to look at a different price to kind of compare this card and maybe think about how he could be this year. Marcus Llorente, we look at Gretzka from last year. Basically give this card plus 10 paces. This gold Gretzka from last year at 78 paces. If you give it plus 10 paces, you basically get this card. This card Gretzka last year was like 50, 60,000 coins at the start of the game. This Llorente is even higher rated, 86, so it makes him more rare. I think this Llorente card is going to be 125 to 150,000 coins. I really think that he will be. Last year's 82 card was only 30K, but of course Llorente had a huge year last year. That's why he got the huge upgrade and everybody knows how great his card is in game. So that's why I'm giving this card a massive, massive price prediction at 125 to 150,000 coins. I really feel like that's a pretty accurate range for this card. Now I know there's a ton of cards that I didn't talk about that I didn't cover and we might do another one of these price prediction videos. If you want to see another one, drop it down below in the comments, of course, and tell me which cards that you do want to see. But that was really fun to look through a lot of these and hopefully it gave you some insight on how much these cards might be at the start of FIFA 22 Ultimate Team.

Peace out.


Has Campus Legends unlocked something in me that we didn't think was possible?  You're not that guy pal, trust me. Have I ever been seven and oh? I have played seven consecutive Campus Legends games all with different college teams and I am yet to lose. And I don't plan on today being the day. Welcome back boys, episode number eight of Campus Legends, my favorite game mode. You might be wondering why I'm cranking these out so much. This game mode is limited, which is so lame. I mentioned that before. But on the 27th of September, it just goes away. So I don't know if they want to bring it back or they're going to do more limited game modes. But I want to make sure I play as all my teams before I get out of here. I think I'm going to save the Sooners for absolute last. Cause I know that team is insane. I'm excited to use Kyler, but I'm sure he's the 99 on that. There's a lot of good players there. So right now I'm between the Ducks and it just chose the Longhorns for me cause time ran out. So we're going to Texas Longhorns today. Isn't this the disrespectful thing like horns now?  Yeah. I'm going to go into run and shoot. I've never ran this playbook.  So this could be fun. So for the Longhorns on offense is Vince Young. We knew that Colt McCoy is backup QB, Earl Campbell, Priest Holmes, Ricky Williams. That's an insanely stacked backfield. Oh my God. Roy Williams, Jordan Shipley, Marquise Goodwin, who I'm assuming has a lot of speed. We'll find out. We have Justin Tucker as our kicker. That is a flex. Solid special teams coming out of Texas. And then your Michael Finley, Trey Hopkins, Leonard Davis, Justin. Sam Cosby is a solid left tackle. That's good. Defensively, we got Malcolm Brown, Puna Ford, Charles Omedohu, Tony Brackens, Derek Johnson, outside linebacker, Brian O'Rackpole. So our linebackers are nasty. And we got Kenny Vaccaro, Jordan Hicks, another crazy good linebacker, Quandre Diggs and Earl Thomas. Also I want to give a huge thank you to Geology for sponsoring this video. I talked about Geology earlier this month. They make amazing skincare products. They're effective and they're so simple. My personal favorite thing about Geology is skincare can be really confusing.

Geology, thank you for sponsoring as always. And guys, enjoy the rest of the video. All right, this is actually definitely a squad. So Brian O'Rackpo is our 95 overall. I can't see his stats, but I know he's gonna be a beast. I'm definitely gonna try and blitz him every play. And uh-oh, I'm manned up on a corner here. And you know what? We got to the QB, didn't even matter. I'm excited to use Brian O'Rackpo, bro. Blade for the Panthers, right? Retired in, like, 2016. I'm basing my knowledge off of Mad Mobile. That was a sketchy pass, Kelly. I don't know what you're trying there, bud. All right, let's blitz O'Rackpo. I feel like he's gonna be fast and just really scary. Play action, run it, run play action. Run it, O'Rackpo, let's go! Exactly what I was thinking. Damn, he looks like a savage. Wow, and he's punting? Really though? You sure you don't wanna fake that? Quandre digs on the return. We're gonna give him a shot. Okay. Okay, okay, Quandre digs. Not bad. I kind of figured this. We got 99 overall Vince Young with 93 speed, 94 Excel.  Roy Williams, Finley, Earl Campbell, Ricky Williams, and Marquis Covenalius, 89 speed. That's surprising. Jermico Finley, though, our tight end has 90. It does speak with Jermico Finley if we want, I guess. I mean, it's honestly so OP how fast these quarterbacks are in this. Even without a scape artist, I could literally just do this every play. I could also throw a beam.  I did not see Ed Reid. Stupid. There was so much open and I got zero yards. I'm doing the exact same thing though. Let's block Earl Campbell this time. See what he goes for. Oh, I'll just take off. Get through. Ooh, I just tried trucking Denzel Perryman. That was bold. Zone alert bubble. Let's see if it's there. Oh, it's gonna be there, is it? Nope.  Let's go with an option. This is so sketchy and definitely not to play on fourth and four, but let's just hope he bites, you know? He bites? Wait, I didn't hold A. Are you sure about that? That was about the worst start I could have had.  All right, let's see what he goes with here. I'm expecting him to have a little bit of a better drive. Oh, he just downed himself. Let's lock it in. Oh, Derek Thomas, let's see it, my guy. All right, same exact thing, play action. He's looking at underneath. Don't.  I deserve to lose.  I deserve for my first loss to be right now. All right, he's doing it. Oh no, it's not play action. And we, you just, dude, you just let him up into the, my goal right now is for that to be his only touch down. Bro, what are you doing? Yeah, let's take this out. Oh, I see daylight. I see, wait, what's he doing? Was he pulling off? I swear he was pulling off. I didn't want that touchdown if he was gonna pull off. This man was a bona fide scrub. Let's earn this touchdown, boys. An insane, look at this play. Shipley is gonna run a motion and then a dig. And then Williams has an option round. It is kind of weird. Whoop! I messed it up at the end, but at the start it was really cool. Wow, this is a weird, weird playbook. I really think I could hit Jermica Finley. Jermica Finley needs redemption more than anyone I've ever known. Oh, toss it. Let's go, Kimmel! Oh, my God. This is the weirdest game I've had in a long time. That was so trash. All right, we gotta go for two. It's the law. I don't think I've ever kicked a PAT in this game mode. We're gonna look right across the middle. Wait, we might not need to. A, wide open. They're fighting over it, but Shipley really wanted a reception, so he took it, I guess. Are you in Hail Mary?  Okay, that's the correct read for sure. Get on him! Get on him! Get on him! Let's go! A rack post stopped it. Wait, wait, what? He must have reached for it. Let's see if we can bait him to throw it to Y. Ooh! All right, we're in man coverage and I'm gonna double up here. That's been double up! Ooh, get it out of here. Let's go. Good work, boys. Third and 10. Could get a big stop right here, boys. Play action again. Uh-oh, A is open. Does he see it? He does not. He throws to the contested man. I think I need to start hitting the SWAT button. I'm locking this up with O'Meila who clamps. We gotta get the momentum on our side. Let's make it to Vince Young's show, baby. Ooh, damn it. I was just about to get that off. If that blitz comes through again, we can get to the outside of it, I think. Yup, exactly. And we can definitely just outrun Hendricks. Oh my God, animation. Jermico Finley! He's at 90 speed, baby. Ooh, we're gonna do a little takeoff. We'll take off action, Vince Young. Get a block from Campbell. Get a block. Oh, Vince Young's still going. Let's see if that corner routes open. Could be nasty. Williams, keep going. Keep going, buddy! Vince Young is nice, though. Wow, these two boys are gonna clutch because he's missed both now and I'm about to have both if I can lock this one up. He shouldn't know I'm... Oh, I'm gonna de-glue us. He does not have a good user. Huge blitz on the play-action. Get to him. Don't shoot there.  Kill me this time! Let's go! I'm calling a timeout. I wanna score. Is this that play-action thing again? Damn, I should have blitzed again.  Oh! Kenny Vokoro! I can score again. Surprise, motherfucker. We need to go deep. Come on, bro. Come on! I am 8-0. I can't count that. I gotta play one more game, boys. Hey, we're versus Oregon. One of the only teams we've never played against or ever even seen. Let's start this one off better than last time. Let's make the easy pass here to Jermico Finley. We're gonna no huddle into the half-back dive and then we're gonna scramble right after this. Yup, get through it. Earl Campbell! Look at that.  Maybe you're 16. Now we hit him with a play-action.  Ooh, right side blitz too. Uh-oh. Oh, can I throw that?  There's a lot I could do here. Just gonna deek out. Ooh, what a block! Jermico Finley just laid out a wide receiver. All right, we're looking for the laser down the middle. Ooh, it was honestly there. I'm gonna deek him again. Oh no, he made the play. Although he's user-delining now so I think I should be able to hit Jermico Finley right over the top. Yup. What a catch.  If unless he switches out, I'm gonna do the exact same thing here. Exact same thing. First in gold, Jermico Finley. Three receptions, 40 yards. Hey, nice speed tight end. I gotta use it. That's my little Darren Waller out there, you know? All right, let's run Bunch and let's sledge Jermico Finley do what he does best, yeah? Little playmaker to be shipwrecked, let's go! Dude, I wonder what my percentage of touchdowns is. I swear to God, I score on like 90% of possessions in this game. Which notice, everybody, I'm not saying it's that impressive, but I am impressed in my play. I just need to bring this over to Wheel of Mind. Can we really be in business? Easy, too. And hold the line is activated so Earl Campbell's gonna get lots of touches. And you know, I can sub Ricky Williams in too, if I want. Uh-oh, I'm usuring. Oh, hat-back slip screen. Great play call. What did I just do? I'm gonna try and scramble this. You gotta go, quit, bro. I'm serious, you gotta go. I just stop and go to you behind the line of scrimmage.  He beams one up. He's gotta quit now. We're gonna pass it backwards. Thank you for picking that up, Kenny Piccaro. I like Vince Young a lot. Dude, these scramble QBs are just so OP. I could throw a lot here, and he knows it. I'm getting stuck here with this. Yep, you had to, bro. I'm sorry, but you had to. 10, and it was it. I can't go for a third one and risk losing. Both of those games were awesome, and I got that Vince Young highlight, and that's all I needed. All right, boys, two teams remain. The Oklahoma Sooners and the Oregon Ducks. I think I'm going with the Ducks next episode. I won't even rip that out right now because I'm playing so good. I love you, boys. I will see you in the ninth episode of Campus Legends and then the finale. I'm thinking about doing a video where I have to win with every team all in one video. It might be a long-ass video, but I might try it. I love you guys.  I'll see you next video. Peace.


Today I will be announcing Commander Murray Betz, Clee as the Commander of the Internal Affairs Division. You know there's been a lot of conversation as it relates to what internal fur does and how they do it and how effective they are. I will tell you that I think Murray Betz, she and I have spent a lot of time together. She clearly understands the importance of quality investigations, selecting the right team, the right investigators that understand the importance of being fact-finders, understand the importance of having investigations that are thorough and that are complete and coming to conclusions that are consistent with the outcome of the various incidents that occur. So I'm elated again that Murray Betz is going to be the commander of that unit and she will be empowered to select the supervisors that will be part of that unit and I will tell you that each of those supervisors with rare exceptions would have prior experiences as investigators and I think that will also help enhance the quality of the investigations.


Welcome everyone and thanks for attending this session. I'm Harris and I work as a researcher at Zardings. Some of you may not know about Zardings, so I will quickly introduce my company. Zardings is the inventor of FPGA which goes along with other hardware technologies such as general purpose CPUs, GPUs and ASICs. Typically FPGAs are used for performance and energy efficiency. I have been involved with the different Hyperledger projects for the last two years and more specifically I have been working on fabric and looking into different and scalability issues. So I will give an introduction of the performance and scale workgroup at Hyperledger and then I will introduce some of our work and how we are trying to tackle some of these accessibility problems. So if you have any questions along the way you can post it in the Q&A tab on the right-hand side and I will leave a few minutes at the end to answer those questions. So PSWG is basically the performance and scalability workgroup, a forum at Hyperledger to look into these performance and scalability issues. The group is not tied to any one particular project and it is supposed to look into all the different projects under Hyperledger but most of the work has been done on fabric because the most popular Hyperledger project. So in terms of the goals, the group started with two main focuses. One was on performance evaluation. For example, the idea there was to look into different type of metrics that can be used to compare different blocks and platforms and different projects under Hyperledger. And early on the PSWG group published a wide paper on metrics. In the same context, PSWG was also involved with some of the early work on Hyperledger. Caliper, which is the tool now mostly used for benchmarking different Hyperledger projects. Focus on performance improvements and the scalability in blocks and deployments. The goal here was to gather ideas from different groups to see what kind of performance bottlenecks exist in these Hyperledger projects and how they can be scaled. And typically the scaling involves either scaling up, which is vertical scaling where you cannot add more resources in a single load of a network or you can scale out another term which is called horizontal scaling where you can add more nodes into the network to improve its performance. So in this context, I had been attending PSWG meetings on and off but recently I got actively involved in the group and now I'm leading this new effort to revive the group, to revamp the group and have more focus on scalability issues, especially from people who are using these Hyperledger projects and deploying them in real-world scenarios. So I would like to talk a little bit more about scalability in blockchains. So when we look at proof-of-concept project and we want to move it into a real-world deployment we would like to improve upon a few different performance metrics. For example, in a proof-of-concept I might have two organizations but in a real-world deployment I might want to add five organizations. What that means is that we would have more transactions generated in the network and hence the nodes in the network should be capable of handling that much workload and should have better or increased transactions per second throughput. Likewise, in a production environment we might want to gather much more data compared to a proof-of-concept which means the transactions could have much larger size which means that the blocks would be larger. And again, the network should be capable of efficiently transferring larger blocks around the nodes and process them efficiently. So if we look at these four different performance metrics and we want to improve them we have to look at both individual nodes of the network as well as scale out the network by adding more nodes in the network and looking at the network traffic and how that could be handled in a better way. So at Xilinx we believe that if we want to improve this metrics and go beyond what is available by software-only implementations which are available nowadays we need to bring in newer hardware technology not only give better compute resources but also give better network resources. We are going to look more because of this in what kind of work we have been doing at scalability. So coming back to PSWG the group had been dormant for a while and then we recently started to revamp it and in the past two months we have tried to initiate two different threads in the group. The first thread is around performance evaluation and thanks to the technical working group in China they have done a bit of work quite a bit of work on a Hyperledger Fabric performance evaluation and exploration and they have produced two different tools called Tape and Probe. The Tape tool is very much like Hyperledger Caliper but it's lightweight and can generate much higher transaction send rates and can better stress test a network. The Probe tool on the other hand is an exploration tool where you can kind of explore how the performance of a network behaves based on different parameters for example different block sizes or creation of a block etc. Then the second thread we have been working on Myself and my colleagues at Zalynx so we have been looking into how we can bring in newer hardware acceleration technology and remove some of these performance bottlenecks in permission blockchains and how we can use hardware accelerators to achieve performance and scalability beyond what is currently available from software only solutions. So let me go into a little bit of more details of our work. So we started a project named blockchain machine at Zalynx and the aim was to look into permission blockchains and see what kind of bottlenecks appear in permission blockchains. If you look at public blockchains like Bitcoin and Ethereum we can see that they are already using specialized hardware. For example, Bitcoin is dominated by ASICs, Ethereum is dominated by GPUs and they use these ASICs and GPUs to have much higher rates. This is necessary for faster proof of work with consensus mechanism. But when we look at permission blockchains the consensus mechanism does not use proof of work which means that the bottleneck now shifts from consensus to the validation nodes and the validation nodes share quite a lot of core operations for example, cryptographic operations and accesses from data holes, the global state of the network and these operations are the most popular information blockchains under Hyperledger umbrella. We looked at a lot of different operations which are done inside the validation node or a validator peer network. What you can see here on the graph on the right-hand side is that the ECDSA signature verifications are the most time-consuming operation. There are other operations for example, computation of hashes based on SHA-256 and accesses from database which becomes a big bottleneck in Hyperledger Fabric validation process. What we saw was that can we scale up a validator peer in Hyperledger Fabric using specialized hardware which is implemented on FPGAs. Then we can accelerate or execute these bottleneck operations directly on the hardware. With that in mind, we came up with this modified validator peer in Hyperledger Fabric. Here is shown in this figure on the right-hand side. We split the operation in two parts. The part on the right-hand side with green is all the operations which involve some kind of verification of the block or validation of the transactions or the endorsements and then reading from database, applying some concurrency checks, etc. All of these operations are actually executed on a hardware accelerator. Then the software, the CPUs, they still run the standard Fabric software but they skip all these verification and validation operations and wait for the results of the validation from the hardware. As soon as the validation results from the hardware are available, we are merged with the block and the block is committed to the CPU just like any other Fabric peer. What this helps us to do is that we can actually accelerate and with much better performance the validation operations of the bottlenecks while we keep the non-bottleneck operations still on the CPU side. Now let's look at the performance which we have from the setup. If we exclude the ledger commit part which is basically run on the software side either with the hardware accelerator or without the hardware accelerator, we were able to see observe a 17 times improvement in block validation latency and we were able to actually reach up to 95,000 transactions per second as the commit of the validator peer. And what I would like to mention here is that if you look at Visa payment system these systems are supposed to be able to process transactions per second in the peak. So what we are really trying to show here is that if we bring in hardware acceleration hardware, specialized hardware technology into permissioned block genes we can break the software only barrier and then we can actually have a much better scalability in permissioned block genes. So if you're interested in more details about this work we recently put out a paper on archive the link is embedded here you can go to that link and read the paper and the details. We also just started a new labs project called this is not readily usable at the moment but we will be putting out a lot of a lot more content into this wrapper in the coming weeks. So you can actually add yourself to the list of the repos so you can get all the updates and when it's ready to use you can actually use it. So coming back to G we have a couple of plans for the next few months so definitely organize some deep dive talks around the tools from technical working group China to talk more about performance evaluation and exploration for different block genes and then we're also going to have some deep dive talks on blockchain machine from which is what I just briefly described to you but more importantly what we are really looking for is to collaborate with other groups under hyper ledger or other industrial partners who have actually deployed these hyper ledger projects in real world scenarios and we would like to really know from them what kind of scalability issues they are facing and whether some of this newer hardware acceleration technology can be used to address those issues which could not be addressed in just software only solutions. So please join us we have monthly meetings I have the link here for the meetings as well and if you want to know more about our work and you want to reach out to me directly I have also provided my contact details here as well so with that I will stop here and see if you guys have any questions okay so any questions in the Q&A tab but if you do have any questions you can post them even though that the session is supposed to end now but if you don't leave the session I can still answer your questions here in the chat so I'll wait another minute and if there are no questions then I will end this session okay so I guess there are no questions so thank you everyone for your time and coming to this session and again as I said if you're really interested in our work please join us at PSG Thank you very much for your time.


Hey there friends, thanks for checking in today. We're looking at a new revolver offered by Rock Island Armory called the AL 3.1. It's a 357 magnum and beautiful stainless steel that carries six rounds in the cylinder This is a first look review of this revolver now You may know Rock Island to have the M 200 and the M 206 revolvers They have a couple models of each there are 38 special revolvers on the budget end of things this one is Very different. It's large. It's a powerhouse and it's got some weight behind it And it's chambered 357 magnum that is new for Rock Island They have a whole new Revolver line coming out and this is the first one I'm going to feature and It's impressive now a point of reference would be the Ruger SP 101 or a Smith & Wesson k-frame with a two-inch barrel It's it's pretty heavy-duty. It does have a full-size grip there. It's all rubber It's got a little different texture to it slight finger bumps But I think it will do the trick for taming some of that recoil that the 357 Magnum offers fully shrouded two-inch barrel All right, and you can see that the ejector is shrouded with the under lug there and the front sight is pinned in It's a ramped up black front sight that's pinned in right there and a tunneled rear sight That is fixed. All right, so we're looking at a standard I should say yeah standard revolver, you know a lot of people with their carry revolvers they have that type of setup and They certainly don't complain about it the trigger pull the double action is pretty standard probably 12 pounds right there but the website calls the single action trigger between four and Six and a half pounds now It's not on the website yet But I did get a spec sheet and it's saying between four and six and a half pounds I am measuring this right at four pounds and that is what we're looking at not quite a Feather trigger you put a little bit of pressure on there, but a very light trigger that is Pretty darn nice once you get that aligned you're just going to tap that trigger and It's going to fire now it does have a transfer bar safety in there. All right, that'll help with You know dry if you happen to drop the revolver should not fire on you Okay, so it hits that transfer bar that hits that firing pin and sets off that round push forward and Release the cylinder here. We're looking at the forcing cone into the two inch barrel and over here we can see the timing hand the bolt stop and the yoke Pretty nice setup, but I think that stainless steel is looking pretty beautiful and Then you know, it's a powerhouse. It just it feels strong and very well built And that's what we'd expect for a 357 Magnum. Now. Let's get it on the scale here It's weighing in at one pound 14 and three quarters ounces if we move that to just ounces We're looking at 30 and three quarters ounces. So you're not looking at a lightweight gun A lot of revolver fans out there and we're getting used to those cylinders to carry six rounds Which is nice and that's an advantage that this has over the Ruger sp-101 that carries five rounds and then here we have 34 and a quarter ounces loaded with 158 grain full metal jacket 357 Magnum and just for Point of reference, you know six rounds of 357 Magnum's weighing in at three and a quarter ounces So here it is very different, you know rock island armor is stepping away from the 38 special Revolvers and they're getting into some heavy-duty models like this. I think revolver fans are going to be happy now You're wondering How much is that? Well the MSRP right now is 749 if you're familiar with rock island, you'll know that the MSRP and the actual gunstore price differentiates quite a bit, you know the the the MSRP and what it's actually sold for is Quite a bit different quite a bit cheaper. I'm not sure what the Gunstores will be selling this for but I think revolver fans are going to like it And I can't wait to get this to the range and check it out and show you guys Everything that it's capable of by all There are everything that I can see right now. It is built extremely well. This will be available it's projected to be available in January of 2020 and you'll be seeing people review this, you know, especially around shot show and times like that But this is a first look of this new revolver From Rock Island Armory and I think revolver fans are going to like this be on the lookout for a range review Shortly if you like videos like this, please subscribe and share. I always appreciate thumbs up button Thanks for watching and you guys be safe
