 Hey guys, it's Nate, aka the Foot Accountant. Welcome back to the channel. I want to raise a question today because Team of the Season starts in just a short couple of days. But do we actually need to be saving our packs for longer than just this Friday? Will live Team of the Season cards be the promo to open for or not? I want to answer that question today and talk through some things as we get closer and closer to the start of Team of the Season and actually being able to open these packs that we have been saving. But before we do that we have to talk about the big Evo that dropped yesterday. It's making one SPC from a couple months ago look absolutely insane. Confirmed red picks on the loading screen you just saw and the icon player pick refresh today on a Wednesday. If you're excited for the video drop a thumbs up on it and subscribe if you're new. Let's get into things from yesterday. It was a pretty quiet day yesterday especially on the SPC front guys. It's just one more day until Team of the Season can get here. Let's be completely honest. We did have the 88 plus campaign mix upgrade refreshed. They didn't change anything about it this time. It is the exact same SPC, a one of four 88 plus exact same requirements. EA just hits the F5 on that SPC and this SPC right now is 8% upvoted for good reason. I'm proud of the community for not wanting to do this SPC right before Team of the Season GG's. That's really all that there is in SPC's besides the daily login refresh. All the SPC's like the 83 times 10 refreshing and stuff like that. That was it in that part of the game yesterday. Now it starts to get good when we go to evolutions though because this is the full back evolution that we talked about and was leaked yesterday. But guess who doesn't fit? Erlen Mendy. Erlen Mendy went from 2k to extinct or almost 10,000 coins on the market and then is now back down to 2 to 3,000 coins because he did not fit the evo. But the evo that we got was actually pretty good guys and this is a crazy evo for a couple of things. First of all, yes I know it's paid and it's 100,000 coins but the cards that you can get out of this I think are well worth it if you have a couple of the top tier upper echelon players. Especially some of the insane left backs like this Zingchenko right here. Now let's take a look at the evo really fast. The pace boost is good. The dribbling defending physical boost and passing boost on the card is very good. It is a great boost for a left back. Also it gives the right back position and it gives my favorite play style in defense anticipate and also gives a 5 star weak foot and jockey plus. This is a really really good evo guys. Now it's kind of like a really good evo but you kind of have to have the right player for it. I will honestly say that. I do have like a Ben Sabine evo that's in my club. When I look at this card though I don't think okay yeah he could play center back but it doesn't look like a card that I'm gonna use a lot. Yes he goes to 5 star weak foot. Yes he gets the anticipate play style which we absolutely love but with those stats for me it just doesn't cut it. Now for some of you guys who kept a couple of lucky cards around in the club potentially from winter wild cards there is one player that has become very popular in this evolution. If you held on to winter wild cards Kai Havertz. His left back card here goes mental in this evolution. He stays with the whipped pass plus but he gains the right back positioning so he's left mid left back right back and look at those stats. Those are insane stats. He gets the 5 star weak foot boost as well so he can play on either side for sure. The only downside is the work rates guys. You look at the play styles. He has 6 different play styles with anticipate being very important in size of pass and then of course has jockey and whipped pass plus. A lot of players that used this Havertz earlier on in December in January when he was still pretty good liked his attacking capabilities because of the whipped pass plus to put in those crosses and his other passing play styles right. Well now he has a little bit more defending to him 89 defending with that boost 88 physicality with 99 jumping 94 stamina. This is a really really good left back like this is one of the SBCs turned into an evolution that makes I don't know I just think that it makes cards from earlier on in the game feel so much more fun and makes it like wow thanks EA I did this card two three months ago I've had it in my club unused for the last month or two I held on to it because I like the card and now I have the ability to upgrade it once again. I love that about specific evos not all evos are this good in that in that way and this one is now he's the number one most popular player in this but Kama Vinga if you have the Kama Vinga fire card which unfortunately now is extinct on the market as everybody goes and tries to buy him to put into the evo he looks really cracked as well with aerial plus jockey plus and of course the left back the right back positions 93 pace high 80s everywhere else almost on the card. I mean he has nine play styles guys and two play style pluses that's absolutely crazy I mean petite fits it there's a couple of other good combo evos in here as well this is an evo to honestly just kind of store away if you're not having somebody in your club right now that you want to do straight away because this could be a really good evolution to chain in the future next couple of days maybe the next couple of weeks because it is out I think for 20 days usually when evos drop yeah you have to unlock it within 20 days so might be one to keep around just in case something else drops or you're able to pack maybe one of the good informs that fit into this like Ona Batie or Basha Basha is a very very popular card who fits this evo as well if you were never able to use a version of Basha and there was a lot of hype for her earlier on in the year now you have an opportunity to do so through that evo so I'll stop yapping about the evo because you know not everybody's invested or interested in those but that's a very very good evo guys for the price and the upgrades that you get now let's talk about UCL madness for a hot second because we had two crazy games yesterday with PSG and Dortmund coming out on top so upgrades confirmed the first upgrades of these next few of this of this last quarter final round I guess have been confirmed it is PSG and it is Dortmund headed on to the semifinals and that means that Nicholas Suley and Donoruma will be getting plus one inform upgrades there are no play style pluses added yet we are still at this point of the competition where they just qualified for the semifinals which means plus one inform upgrade this Friday the other games today those players will be playing for a plus one upgrade as well crazy price fluctuations guys Pedri was 1.4 million basically max price and now he's down I believe under 500k he's 420,000 coins because Bartha lost yesterday so also what that means is we got a big upgrade on the way guys for Mukiella I did Mukiella yesterday right before the content drop to have some skin in the game and I'm so glad that I did this card is going to get a plus two because of PSG winning the game and he's going to go to a 91 rated card this 92 rated version that also is tweeting out here is the version that will likely be able to be acquired through the showdown boost evo when Mukiella gets his plus two you put him into that showdown boost evo to get that extra plus one that is a disgusting looking card PSG French links that's a right back that a lot of people are going to use he's going to have the with the whipped pass plus as well what are his uh what are his play styles I don't even remember is it like whip pass plus and um jockey no it's rapid that's going to be an insane card so that's going to be a wild card uh he probably won't be upgraded for the next couple of days you know how EA is with the showdowns they like to take their sweet time when it's the most annoying so that's one thing to be looking out for in the next couple of days in the coming days right according to ea sports let's look at the loading screen the last piece or a bit of information from yesterday kind of confirms what we already knew that champs rewards are changing on friday guys i guess we actually won't know the champs rewards and when they're changing until content on friday because that is what the loading screen counts down to usually when they update stuff we see it on thursdays but since champs is starting later on this friday that is maybe the reason why it says on the loading screen counting down until friday so that's kind of a round up of yesterday of what is going on let's talk about the meat of the video today guys the pack saving and really the question that i want to pose as we get closer and closer to team of the season and we're all probably getting a little bit uh impatient ready to try to pack these team of the season cards with packs saved up my pack snatch now was up to 25 packs saved all very high quality packs i'm not saving any player picks as i've mentioned um 85 plus 84 plus a lot of 83 tens the 86 threes back here 87 fours again we're gonna have even more um division arrivals rewards in the next day tomorrow to add to that stash as well the question is when do we need to start opening our packs or do we actually need to save for a little bit longer i want to kind of dive in a little bit to what i think this tots live promo might look like just because of kind of the vibes i'm getting from the leagues guys live tots cards sound fun and it's a lot of hype and there's going to be hype for these cards that come into the game on friday but what we've kind of mentioned already i think is going to be different about these cards is they're going to be a little bit lower rated because they are live they have the potential to grow and get upgraded based on the club's performance that they represent right but does that mean it will actually be worth opening your packs for with so many players being leaked and again in this tweet from asy foot trader who's leaking all these cards said there will be at least 11 more players with so many cards in packs guys i can already kind of see it these cards are going to be very packable especially the lower tier you know maybe some of the lower rated players like jedi robinson this buyer card hink upy maybe maybe john mcgin lofty's cheek besak vasquez i don't know what all the ratings are going to be i'm just guessing that the pack weight on the middle to lower tier is going to be super duper high and what it's going to do and what ea is going to try to do is to get us to open all of our packs in this first weekend because it's the first version of tots cards that come out everybody right now is just ready for tots they're saving packs they're ready to see team of the season blues be in these packs right i think the play though is guys to be careful with how many packs we open straight away if the pack weights very high for these live tots cards it's going to make everybody want to open their packs because the fun of packing team of the season cards is the pack weight that usually is higher than most other promos because you're packing really great cards during the regular leagues in the regular weeks of team of the season right i think they're going to start off with these cards being very highly packable to let us think that that's how it's going to be for the rest of team in the season but when we actually get the higher rated and boosted cards the real team of the season players in the next couple of weeks after this i think the pack weights not going to be as good but still people are going to want to pack them and that's where ea is going to get people to open up all their safe packs for this and then once we get to prem tots la liga tots league one bundes league a siria people are going to have a lot less packs because they've already opened right we see this almost every single year with the community team of the season ea release community tots first so many people open up their saved up packs and then they're left with not as many packs for prem tots the week after an ea makes bank on the lightning rounds right i think the lesson that we can learn here is maybe we wait and see really how good the pack weight is and how i'm guess hyped we are individually it might have to be a question you have to answer for yourself when we get to friday when we see how packable these cards are impacts the live tots cards and we see the boost on the cards how high rated they are as well then we might need to make a decision and say okay i'm going to open my packs now or i'm going to open some now and save some for later i am definitely going to be saving some for later guys because nothing hits different than the real team in the seasons some people might even start calling these live tots cards fraud blues or fraud tots cards right because yes they are a team in the seasons but if they are going to be super packable even though they're live kind of compared to like the fantasy promo right those lower tier fantasy cards we packed julie p so many times or maybe you packed poletano so many times in his first release right they were very very packable i feel like the live tots team is going to be that same way but then the second week when the real tots cards come out they're going to be higher rated more boosted up i think they're going to be a little bit less packable but that's going to kind of give us a good start to team in the season and make people feel like they can pack these tots cards and it's going to make a lot of people open too many packs this first week so that's kind of what i wanted to bring up today especially with some of the new pack code that has been released there's some pretty crazy packs that have been put out guys packs that we don't have access to right now like 87 times four is probably one of the best packs that i have in my store at the moment packs that have just been added to the code they could be related to the new season that is coming they could be related to the new footchamps rewards they could be store packs i don't think they're store packs they seem too small to be in the store but in 87 five and 88 three and 88 five and an 87 times three my guess straight off of reading this is probably new season packs they're going to come out with the new season next week that's just my guess notice it also doesn't say anything about them being untradable which i can imagine if ea is putting a pack in the code like this it could either come out as tradable or untradable but that's the type of pack that you want to be opening during team of the season so wherever those are i want to be there whether it's footchamps whether it's the season rewards that looks really really good to me and the other thing that is interesting from these added packs to the code we have an 85 times 20 and we have an 81 plus team of the week player pack which says contains one team of the week player rated 81 or higher from weeks one to 30 guys this might be this one does not say untradable i know we have the untradable team of week sbc that has been in the game for a long time could this be the first ever tradable team of the week pack of fc 24 because they have not dropped any tradable team of week packs yet this year or sbcs could this be it because today is wednesday right and last week on wednesday we had what ea told us was the final team of the week of the year is this the way that ea is going to keep requiring team of the weeks and sbcs but also keep them supplied on the market so their prices don't go crazy is this going to be a pack that gets dropped in an sbc i doubt it would be in the store but maybe is an sbc or somewhere else that is tradable that's a question that i have at this moment i don't know if it's going to be dropped today i could see it being dropped today i could also see it being dropped later on that's just something i wanted to point out to you guys and because of this news team of the weeks are dropping they are now 20 000 coins per card it's because also there's not a whole lot of demand for them and investors are starting to sell as well as they're still getting supplied because that's the only thing that's in packs right now is team of the week card so that's one thing i wanted to put a kind of just a warning honestly out for you guys i've been lazy selling some of my team of the weeks they're still selling for like 25 000 coins which i will take um but i do believe the prices could go lower unless we get something today that requires team of the weeks that's an sbc the people actually want to do last but not least this we 80 plus players pack i don't know what that is we 80 plus it's kind of funny uh we've already had 80 times fives in the game there's literally one through the daily play i think that we get every single day so i don't know what's up with the special name for a pack that we've had for a long time but that was edited to code yesterday as well now those big packs that we just talked about let's go back to this for a second the 87 583 and stuff like that as we always see during team of the season we see high rated fodder drop because the tats cards bring a lot more high rated in and push that market down the markets already pushed down so far on these cards could they go lower though i really think that they could i think i'd really be careful with 92s if i had a 92 like 92s are 62k for the cheapest one it's katoto and linaker um and you have vialli and kane at 93 and prince which who is great for sbcs at 94 rated i think i would specifically be careful with some of my 92s and 93s um just because the ones that even you think might be used in game a little bit right now they're going to end up dropping lower and they're going to be fodder because there's going to be more a lot more 90 91 92 rated team of the season cards that's going to be like that lower fodder base of the team of the season squads those are going to be on the market like crazy so i'd probably look to sell any of those that you have in the higher rated department i still don't love high rated fodder at the moment if you invest in fodder and you're seeing prices go up not a terrible time to sell ahead of the weekend with live tots just because i can see ea running a lot of lightning rounds tradable ones they've been running a lot of lightning rounds in the last couple of promos i mean guys they keep running lightning rounds right now with only team of the weak cards in packs shameless they're running uh promo pack lightning rounds i mean they're technically oh they still are no they're not out right now this isn't the global limit packs but they even dropped some of the global limit packs yesterday like crazy i don't know who's opening those but i guess if they release in them and somebody is if they keep those lightning rounds up and going for team of the season that's going to make the high rated fodder and probably a lot of the fodder in general continue to drop so last chance for fodder to rise up a little bit today before it probably drops tomorrow at division rivals rewards however there probably is not going to be that many people opening the rewards tomorrow at division rivals because of of course team of the season pack save being in full swing but i just wanted to mention fodder for a second and the situation that is going on there now last thing let's talk about wednesday today what's happening on a wednesday today on this game on core icon pick is refreshing right that's a nsbc that refreshes almost every single wednesday the sunday icon or hero pick refreshes every wednesday and this one's going to refresh here today i'm steering clear man i i got me a ham done yesterday so i'm just kind of more so putting my higher rated cards into exchanges more than anything else especially because there's only a couple days left of these exchanges fingers crossed that they do come back and return and get refreshed i think they will but you know you never know right you never know what the a sports so i'm kind of putting some higher ratings into that hitting some more player picks and still making sure i get all of my 83 times 10s done each and every day that i want to get done but if you want to hit an icon pick it is going to refresh today and likewise the daily refresh of all of the sbc's right make sure you hit your daily gold upgrades make sure you hit your 83 times 10s the 82 times 11 which is a little bit of an iq test but i'm still stacking it because you know why not that's a pack i'll probably open uh during live team of the season just because like the technically you'd have the best chance any of the e-fix packs guys i think i'm going to open those during live thoughts they're intradable and they're not league specific they're just top five league specific and in this promo team you see there's a lot of the top five league cars so i feel like the e-fix packs to kind of go back to our earlier point might be good to open during live thoughts and then any specific packs that we get for like Premier League La Liga Bundesliga maybe down the line those would be good to save for the actual team of the season week for the league that gets released that's just kind of a shout from me and something i thought about doing but i'm going to do this again before it expires i got to get that cooked up for that 85 rated squad but that's refreshing once more time today and other than that guys i mean it could be another quiet wednesday to be honest that we had a pretty crazy day yesterday maybe a player sbc maybe an upgrade pack they said we're getting something daily in the upgrade pack department really today is going to be a last day to get your rivals games in those last rewards before team of the season starts and technically the last rewards i believe as well before they refresh them next week with the new season one thing i will point out is if you want to try to save xp for the new season when it starts if you're already level 40 do not claim your weekly objectives xp it's going to refresh today or tomorrow sorry tomorrow don't claim it because that's how people can sometimes get a little bit of xp carried forward into the new season if you do not claim that for like the whole next week it's a bit annoying but it can get you some extra xp and again no team of the week coming today guys team of the week is going out of packs team week 30 the best of team of the week will stay in packs so the ambape the board mati viney karchawi right on this part of the loading screen they will stay but team of the week 30 will be going out of packs phoden cold polymer right out of packs and that will be the end of team of the weeks in fc 24 so we'll see if ea surprises us with anything today watch out for some pre content weeks of course and uh yeah market-wise i'm not buying like pretty much anything at the moment some quick flips only some lazy listing i'm just some fodder type cards only just because the market right now is pretty cooked and there are some fluctuations but i just don't feel like it's worth trading right now i'm just kind of sitting back taking a quick break right before we get into the start of team of the season so let me know down in the comments when you think you're going to be opening your packs what league of team the season you're most excited for maybe influencing when you're going to open your packs and uh any thoughts you have right now in the waiting times till we actually get to team of the season real quick i forgot about a couple things of news sbcs we actually could see soon probably between thursday and friday garasi has won bundesliga player the month that was leaked foot chef said he's going to come as an sbc in the coming days so if you're a bundesliga stuttgart fan there you go and then also the league one player the month is zagrova so he's going to be getting a player the month sbc in uh the next couple of days as well for the league one so zagrova and garasi player the months up and coming that's the info that i have for that guys i will see you in the twitch stream today that link is down below in the description catch you guys there it's been nath for account so you guys there peace out
