 Hey guys, it's Nate, AKA the Foot Accountant. Welcome back to the channel. What a very weird way to start foot birthday. Team number one yesterday on FIFA 23. We had really good content in some areas and a lot of lackluster content, especially with the cards in packs. I wanna talk about why we had so many few cards in packs yesterday, where the other cards are that are gonna be coming out soon that are a part of this foot birthday promo, and what in the world EA is doing with these stat boosts, right? They're a bit unfortunate, but apart from that, there are some W's, especially the free, basically foot birthday pack that we all get as a part of objectives right now. I wanna take a look at that and more and of course the market. With the market yesterday, a lot of stuff moved upwards, but fodder has gone down and I think there's a great potential to invest this week because one of the pieces of foot birthday content we're gonna be getting every day is gonna bring some demand for those SBC fodder cards. So if you enjoyed the video today, hit the thumbs up on it and of course, subscribe if you are new. Let's start by doing a little bit of a rundown on what happened yesterday on this game. Start it all off with a bit of an L. The Pedri SBC, his cards earlier in this year's FIFA have gotten five star skills, but this one they gave a five star weak foot boost to and they did not roll forward that five star skill upgrade. So we have a four star, five star Pedri, which is making this card one of the reasons why a lot of people are not a fan of it. Well, it also is a decent SBC because if you look at the card, you look at the stats, you look at the format, five star weak foot actually suits this card really, really well because he is a midfielder. So being able to pass with either foot is really good and valuable. The price point is a little bit much too, right? I don't like that there's no five star skills. I don't like that the price point is a bit high. You can see the upvote, downvote situation here. A lot of people are doing this because it is Pedri. It's his best card that he has in the game, but for a mere price of 100,000 coins, you can go get a very similar card, right? Only a plus two upgrade in every stat category except dribbling is a plus one. And then you get the five star skills and the four star weak foot on the team of the year version of Pedri, which is a very fun card that a lot of people like to use. I think this card would be the better weight. Even though it's 100,000 coins and it's tradable, I would think I would go and grab this instead of doing the Pedri SBC. But you can tell that people were doing the Pedri SBC. One of the cards that I held onto has risen up a lot in price. Arajo was 700,000 coins yesterday, 750. And he has up over 100,000 coins. As so are some other Barcelona links. Usman Tambale is a card that I bought yesterday at 520. Sold it a bit too early. He's up about 600,000 coins. So people are doing Pedri. I just think the value is not the best on this SBC, but it's a big name. So people are going ahead and they are doing it. Now, another part of the promo yesterday that was kind of mid, is probably the biggest complaint that basically everybody has is the foot birthday cards that are in packs, guys. The stats just aren't that good, right? They didn't get very big stat boost. We got all excited. We had high expectations for this promo. Thought they were going to up the power curve and they really didn't do it at all. Like guys, this Joao Felix, comparing it to his Winter Wild Cards version that he has, it is barely an upgrade guys. You know he's getting the five star week foot alongside of the card. I tried out this Joao Felix today. I have used this card. I've also used now this card. They feel exactly the same. And why wouldn't they? Plus one shooting, plus one physical, plus one dribbling. Those are the only stats that change, of course with the week foot upgrade on the card as well that you get. It's not worth the, literally this is a 1.1 million coin difference between the Winter Wild Cards and this version for the five star week foot and for the Premier League Chelsea links. It's really overpriced in my opinion. And I think that's just how a lot of people feel about this promo team impacts. There's so few cards. We don't like that. Where's Darwin Nunez? Where is Zanchenko? Two of the arguably most popular cards that could have been in the promo release today that we saw from the leaks are in the mini release man. Like I think that's kind of crazy in its own right. We'll talk about the mini release here in a second. You know it's an L when the icons and the actual promo team are all combined on footbin into one squad because they're always usually separate, right? Foot fantasy, foot fantasy heroes. We have the team of your icons and the team of the year in one team and separate teams, I mean. So this being all in one team, it just feels like a let down because we have so few cards in packs. Now there are some cool cards out here, right? And I like that they're cheap. Emerson, 110,000 coins, right? A lot of people like this because it's a Brazilian linking Premier League right back with five star skills. Thomas Muller with the five star skills as well. I think this card is disgustingly cheap. Thomas Muller is gonna be a pretty solid card in FIFA. I know for a 91 rated having no stat on the card that is 91 looks a bit disappointing. So that's a bit of an L La Fonte, five star, five star is cool. Jibril, so if you need a budget, Bundesliga center mid, this is your guy. He's gonna be really insane in game for a really, really cheap price. But other than that, a lot of us are just disappointed with the upgrades and that actually goes for the icons as well. This is the one that everybody's pointing at from a prime icon to the foot birthday icon for Cantona plus two passing plus one physical. That's the only change that he got from his prime card and of course the five star week foot boost. And it's a difference of 3.5 million coins, 3.7 million coins right now between the foot birthday and his prime card. So it's crazy just how it worked out yesterday. That was the biggest disappointment were the cards in packs. And there was a lot of supply though. Still people opened a lot of packs yesterday. I mean, I even opened a good amount of packs yesterday just to try to pack something cool. The 10 coin pack that was in the store was really the best value pack that they had dropped yesterday. I opened some 83 doubles. I opened a bunch of other, opened the 83 times 10s I had saved up from the end of the foot fantasy promo even got really nothing good except for Chukwaze. But I saved my last 82 times 20s for the mini release. I felt it wasn't just worth opening more packs because especially right now there's not that much to craft and we're going to be getting stuff to craft here in the coming future. So that's something to look forward to and we'll talk about that. But putting all the kind of negative stuff aside the best part about this promo is the objectives guys. And the objectives EA has knocked it out of the park. Started off yesterday, they released this foot birthday party objective early. You've got one, two, three foot birthday players inside of its objective alongside of an out of positions Maldini and then a base Maldini loan icon card. And basically it's very similar to what we've had last week at the footballers objective, right? It's kind of like you work your way through the objective and then at the end you get a reward but you get some good stuff along the way too. We get this 87 Alice Andrini with five star skills, four star weak foot. That's a W card for an objective card. You get this Lin guard who also has the five star weak foot not the skills but four star five star for Lin guard. It's not an amazing card, right? But it's a fun one, right? And it's for pretty easy, right? Place seven squad battles matches with the two different cards in your team. You get some packs and you get some tokens along the way as well, right? There's a token that's available inside of here. We now have 13 tokens released. So again, some player picks, some packs in here like 84 times three and 85 times five. And then at the very end you get an 86 plus road to the final foot fantasy or foot birthday team one pack. That was one of the new packs that was added to the code yesterday. You have two weeks to do this so there's not a huge hurry. But the objectives for this promo looking really good with this one. Now also what we had yesterday was the play two style plus. Well, before I get there let's talk about the foot birthday daily login. We love daily login SBCs because EA has been making these very cheap this year. This is also incredible. And they know that we're going to need fodder throughout this entire week because of the daily player SBCs that are gonna be dropping. Look at this guys. I mean, the daily login upgrade is one bronze player. Every single day that you turn in we're gonna have to keep up with this because it's only out for 14 days. And there are 12 completions that you have to get to get to the very end to get a five times 85 and to get all the other packs inside of this which are some pretty good ones. A lone push gas, a swaps token. You have to get all the way to 10 completions to get a swaps token. There's also I think another token. Yeah, another token here on seven days. And then another token at four days. So make sure you start this off and get it completed. Make it part of your daily routine if you will. Maybe every time you watch the video if you haven't do it, go and check. Make sure you've done the daily login upgrade. So that's a W. And then this is where EA gave out the free foot birthday team one player pack. This is the play two style plus objective. The way you get this objective unlocked and the way you get it done is you have to complete the play two style objective, right? We got, we know this, but this is how EA went out and did it yesterday. So I finished up all of my squad battles games with the Edison, Motherwake, all those other cards. I got mounts, I got the pack. I unlocked the play two style objective and boom, you get a foot birthday team one player pack. Now I'm tempted to open it right now in the video, but I'm gonna save it because the mini release I think would be packable from this pack. And when the mini release is dropped in the game, there's some very interesting details about it that we kind of know about, but now knowing the players that might be in it, I'm definitely gonna save that pack to give myself at least a shot at packing somebody pretty cool. So the objectives are a W and I think the SBCs have potential to be a W too guys because again, as you can see here, it says daily player SBCs. They're gonna be bringing out icons. They're gonna be bringing out player SBCs every single day. This is a two week promo. So I'm really excited for that and we'll talk about fodder here in a bit. The only thing with SBCs that I'm really not sure about is where are the leaks at least for our swaps rewards. We knew we weren't gonna get the actual swaps SBCs in the game until Monday. EA said that to us, but I mean, where are the leaks? Like I would, I'm just shocked that we don't have any news and information besides about those 85 times 10 and a foot birthday team one pack for three tokens. I'm shocked we have no other news and info about what is coming out during foot birthday swaps. Hopefully EA is gonna tell us more. Hopefully we do get some leaks pretty soon. So that's kind of a content roundup from everything that happened yesterday. Let me know your thoughts down in the comments what you think about this team one foot birthday. If you packed anybody sick yesterday, I know a lot of people were packing these cards. Let's talk about the market, right? Because I was able to make a good amount of coins yesterday. I sold it too early on a lot of cards because since the content was kind of seen as an L day, you saw a lot of the market go up. And also with these foot birthdays, a lot of these cards have gone up as well, right? In the first couple of hours, Bernardo Silva was down to 900,000 coins flat. I was literally staring at one on stream. He was 900K, I barely had enough coins to buy him and I didn't and I was trying to get one for cheaper on bid and then all of a sudden, boom, he went up to like a million coins literally within three or four minutes time. Very, very rare card. So you saw some nice rises just as we predicted. Cards were their lowest in the first couple of hours yesterday, not all of them, but most of them, right? Marquinhos was 700, he was just up, he's kind of back down again. Joao Felix, I bought at 1.37, tried him out for a few games, sold him at 1.5 and he's now up even further to 1.6. And with the icon specifically, Puskas was 4.1, Mateus is seven mil right now, really rare card. He was all the way down at five million coins. So I think just a rarity spike is happening there with that card, but most of this team is pretty cheap. I mean, every single player in the squad, apart from Felix, Marquinhos and Bernardo Silva are all around 100,000 coins or cheaper. I mean, I know there's only nine cards in packs, so our full birthday cards at least. So that's kind of a bummer. The icons are pretty expensive, but it's nice to have Kuman, Rui Costa and Rush as some cheaper options out there as well. All of these cards will drop today in price 100%. All right, they're going to drop down some more today. I still believe this Felix card is massively overpriced. The icons may not drop as much, but a lot of people opened packs yesterday. When we got on and we saw all of these prices in the first hour yesterday after content, it was evident that people were opening a lot of packs. Even though the promo to us seemed not that great, I think people were just thinking that full birthday was going to be so hyped. They saw a couple of the players and I think a lot of people, myself included, were like, man, I've stayed in packs for so long and I've been waiting to open packs to have a real promo where cards were in packs. And with the icons, it maybe was worth opening packs, but I think some more people even continue to stay further because we've got a mini-release and just these cards didn't look that great. So I do expect all of the full birthdays and some of the icons to dip down in price a bit more today, even though they already are pretty cheap. There could be a couple of fluctuations this morning. A couple of them could go up a little bit. I think Emerson maybe is one who people will wake up today on Saturday and say, you know what? I kind of maybe want to go try this guy out. He is right now 115K. He was down to 100,000 coins earlier. I could see this card ending up around like 75 or 80K though, later on this week for sure, because you know what? Prices usually don't withstand their day one kind of threshold. But for the rest of the market, since the content was seen as kind of an L day, for the most part, a lot of prices actually went up. Remember when Mudrik was 700,000 coins below 700,000 coins in the past couple of days? He is up big, 780K. A lot of the market, with the content being the way that it was, just kind of rose back up to values and to levels that it was at. I mean, even some cards are going higher than what they were before we had that pretty sizable market crash last week. And we're just kind of like shocked because this is not at all what we expected from foot birthday. Kulabali is 600K, 590. Right now, this guy was 530,000 coins yesterday. If you listened, we shouted some Premier League defenders. I think that was a really good place to buy yesterday. And that card went up a lot. I saw some Van Dyke special card. This one went up a good amount. The Raphael Varan had a good fluctuation yesterday. 1.3, he was under 1.2 earlier. So really good fluctuations on a lot of the Premier League cards. And just the whole market in general was a really good place to trade yesterday. A lot of cards went up. Ginova is another one. He was 1.15, I think now he's in the 1.2s. If I'm being correct here, yeah, 1.24, 1.25 for Ginova. So the market rose up very nicely yesterday, because the content was viewed as not that great. Now one part of the market, like we mentioned, right? Daily player SBCs, I'm gonna focus on that a lot because there are some leaks. And daily player SBCs always gets us hyped and it also makes fodder move in FIFA. And that's where I wanna talk about, if you're like, Nate, what can I do with my coins right now? This is the number one most popular investment and for good reason. Look at this, man. Fodder price is back down where they should be. 83s under 2,000 coins, it's a glorious side. Get some of these guys on bids if you can. Some people were getting them on bid during the lightning rounds yesterday at like 1,000 coins. Yesterday we mentioned it in the video was gonna be another really great time to get some fodder and that was the absolute case. But these cards at like 1.5K are great. 84s in the 3.7 range are good. 85s at 10K, sure, why not? Stock a couple. I just think that with all the SBCs that could be coming out this week, fodder across the entire board right now looks very investable or at least for a club stock because we're gonna get a lot of SBCs, player SBCs, right? As mentioned on the EA website, actually it doesn't mention it here. I don't think daily player SBCs are a part of this, but we're gonna have icon upgrade packs, potentially some party bags, right? It's a birthday, right? Party bags. The objective that they dropped yesterday was literally called let's get this party started or something like that or foot birthday party. Party bags are definitely something that could be coming during this promo as well. The only rating of fodder that I would not buy right now and this kind of tells the story as to what went down in the game yesterday, 91s, 91s are exploding after content yesterday and here's why. People opened packs yesterday and they're like, man, what SBCs am I gonna be rinsing into right now? Because yeah, we have a couple SBCs that are out. We have Mbappe, we have a Cruyff, we have Pedri. There's an 88 rated squad in Pedri and think about it, if you're opening an 82 times 20, 83 doubles, you're probably packing some 86s and 85s and 84s. Well, if you're gonna figure out an 88 rated squad, you're gonna have to buy some 91s and some 90s. So I think people went out and crafted Pedri and Mbappe, Cruyff and players like that and some of the other icon SBCs that are in this game right now, that's why 91s are going up. That's why I like them as a good investment and all high rated fodder as a good investment for potential SBCs still coming in this week. So I like fodder as an investment across the board. Just get on some bids, get on some snipes and prepare to see fodder probably rise up a decent amount here in the next week as people will be wanting to do a lot of SBCs because speaking of these daily player SBCs, we do have some leaks, right? And that's what I wanna talk about next, kind of to move forward into what's upcoming. Ozil, a lot of people have been talking about Ozil recently because he announced his retirement. We're like, oh, end of an era Ozil. Well, EA said, hold that, we're gonna do a foot birthday Ozil. This is a leak at least. And Ozil had a foot birthday card in FIFA 20 and FIFA 21. I've mentioned it before in the past, some of you guys probably know that. I really, really enjoyed that card. Also with Podolski back in FIFA 21, it was an incredible card. So hopefully we get a five star, five star, five star Ozil foot birthday SBC later on this week. That is one of the biggest leaks that we have right now at the moment for a foot birthday player. Foot share has him as an objective or an SBC. I would imagine that since a daily player SBCs, this is going to be an SBC. Colossanek, it's getting an SBC as well. We're a little confused here because he just had one like a month ago as a part of the showdown series promo. But it looks like EA said, hey, he didn't get upgraded so we can release another one, right? And it looks like that's what they're going to do. And if his card looked pretty good then, if they're gonna give him another SBC, especially with an upgrade this time, we're talking maybe an 89 Colossanek, like the EA releasing the upgraded Colossanek SBC just later on pretending that he got an upgrade, right? Sort of thing. So this could be a nice center back, links to the Alexa Sanchez, nice links in the league one as well. And a pretty good looking card in terms of physicality, in terms of defense and the pace. So watch out for a Colossanek SBC soon. And then we've seen these other cards. We saw Joe Sulu as an objective card yesterday, pretty decent card there as well. And the Sasi, another French center back added to come as a foot birthday player SBC as well. So we don't really know what order these are gonna be dropped in, when they're gonna be dropped. The only SBC that we really feel like might be coming today, at least in my opinion, would be Rivaldo. Since this was the second leaked SBC that we had, I would really think that Rivaldo could be dropped today. It also could be tomorrow and Sunday, maybe even Monday. But Rivaldo is an SBC that a lot of people are excited for and they are looking forward to now again, just not to get your hopes up too high. But I don't know if Rivaldo is gonna have 90 paced or is gonna look as good as this leak has him. Because again, we've seen the upgrades that they have been given these foot birthday icons and they're not that fantastic. So be careful, dreaming that Rivaldo is gonna be super insane. But hopefully EA do the business here and release a really, really cool card. Another reason why fodder could be going up. Now, let's talk about those three cards that are in the mini-release, according to Fletcherif, Darwin Nunez, Kokei, and Zenchenko. He says, are coming in the mini-release. And he also mentions that twin mini-release concept, right? EA actually provided some clarification on what that is going to mean. Twin upgrades, mini-release, there are going to be two versions of the same player impacts at the same time. Now, if I'm remembering correctly, I know we've had the Fire and Ice promo. I know we've had a couple of different promos where they've had two different versions of the same player, but not impacts at the same time. This is gonna be crazy. There's gonna be two versions of Darwin impacts at the same time. Two versions of Kokei, two versions of Zenchenko. One with five-star skills, one with a five-star weak foot. And it also says here in the FAQ that the versions, you'll be able to tell that it's a twin upgrade because it's gonna have this little symbol right here, this little, I don't even know what you would call that, symbol above the overall of the player card. So you can just imagine like foot birthday Bernardo Silva. Imagine that is Darwin Nunez with a little symbol on the top of the card, maybe up here at the very top. So that is very interesting. I don't know if the mini-release is going to be today on Saturday or tomorrow on Sunday, but two cards impacts at the same time. I'm guessing same stats as well, just with different five-star weak foot or five-star skill move boosts. So that's cool. I like the concept, but that's another reason to save your packs. Honestly, if you're doing a foot birthday team one pack, or if you've got an 82 times 20 like I have, that's why I am kind of saving my packs at the moment because I would rather wait to try to pack one of those really cool cards because why not? I kind of hope the mini-release is today on Saturday, but most often mini-releases are on Sundays. It could be either or, but we're gonna keep an eye out for that even the next couple of days as well. So the market's really healthy right now. It's gonna be a good day to trade on out-of-pack specials, find some fluctuations, get out there, make some coins if you'd like to, and get invested in the fodder if that's something you wanna do as well, or at least stock your club to get ready for some potential price rises. I've got a lot of fodder right here, as you can see, some 90s, 89s, 88s. I've got a lot of stuff and a lot of stuff in the club. So that's gonna be the video. Again, let me know down below in the comments what you think about the promo yesterday. There are a lot of store packs that are out. We'll probably see some more of those today as well. The big store pack was the 10-coin pack. I don't know if that's gonna come back. I think that was a one-time and done. And then there's a lot of these like 375K pack. The pack weight for these cards is decent. Really it is. If we're being honest, an 86 plus star pack, 20% of a foot birthday player. Another reason why I think some of those lower tier ones are so cheap. But we expect to see those prices dropping up today anyway since it is a Saturday. But if you enjoyed the video today, smash thumbs up on the comment below if you have any questions, and subscribe if you're new. It's been Nate the Photocount, and I'll see you guys later. Peace out.
