 Hey guys, it's Nate A.K. The Foot Account, and welcome back to the channel. I guess we're all invited to Ultimate Team's 15th birthday party today, according to EA, but will it be a birthday party worth celebrating, and what even type of birthday party is this? Because we have no leaks, not a lot of news, and a loading screen with a couple of players on it that looked crazy juiced. Is EA gonna bring the juice for this promo today, for the birthday? We gotta talk about that today, SBC's, Evolutions, there is a leak for an Evo. That does look correct, and also how it's gonna all impact the market, and everything that went on this game yesterday. We have a lot to discuss today, and we gotta start it off by talking about, I have coins back again, guys. So if you're excited for Foot Birthday today, drop the thumbs up on the video, and subscribe to the channel if you're new. Let's talk about coins, because yesterday we made two videos, and the second video was all about me getting coinwiped, right? Wrongfully coinwiped, I still do not know what I did wrong, guys. I was able to get in contact with a higher up FC24 employee yesterday, but I was not able to unfortunately get reasonings as to why I was coinwiped. They said that was information that they could not give out, which I do understand to one degree, but also there's a lot of me that wants that information just to help you guys, right? And I think that's still what I'm searching for in this situation is clarity on why these bands are happening so much more this year. But unfortunately, after doing that, trying to ask some questions, trying to get some conversation going, I wasn't able to get too much. And that's just, I think, kind of where we're gonna have to leave it, unfortunately. Now, again, all the stuff that we said in yesterday's video, I still stand by. Be careful what you're trading with, and it sucks to say that you have to be more careful with that sort of thing like, don't buy these cards and sell these cards at a certain price to stay out of the way of the bands, right? But unfortunately, that's gonna probably have to be the way that it is. Now, for some of you guys that are banned still, or coinwiped, and you haven't got your coins back from a point earlier on this year, I was told to mention that this player feedback portal beta would be a very good place to share your feedback, positive and negative, probably mostly negative, right around those situations. If you literally did nothing wrong, which you got coins wiped from your account, specifically in this case that we're talking about, they said that this portal is actually being taken very, very seriously. So if you provide some serious feedback there, it will not fall on deaf ears, and it will have a chance to be, I guess, read and implemented potentially, right? I think they're really trying to take some feedback with that. And I've got that page bookmarked because if you didn't see the tweet, it's from EAFC Direct Communication, and it's a link to go.eafc24pf. So that is the tweet right there and the link inside of it. And yeah, I'm gonna use that. I've got a bookmark so that I can provide some feedback. So yeah, guys, it doesn't sit right with me 100%. I'll be honest, it doesn't sit right with me 100% that I still don't know why I was coinwiped because it was so random and I still feel like I did nothing wrong. I know I did nothing wrong. It was the same way that I trade all the time with this game. But I did get the coins back and it was a lot faster than I thought. So that was nice for sure and I'm happy that I was able to get those back. But I'm still trying to get more information somehow for you guys that don't have that like I did, like getting your coins back as fast. So yeah, the situation is not great. It was never gonna end great, guys. Let's be completely honest. We were never gonna get all the answers probably that we wanted to get. But that is the situation and where it is at right now. Yeah, still trying to figure it all out. But let's move on from that for right now. We're going to continue to talk about that over the next couple of days for sure. But let's move into yesterday's content before we get into ultimate birthday today because that's what we're here for, right? We're here for what's coming out today because it looks pretty hype. But before we do that, let's look at yesterday and talk about a couple of things that actually started the day off pretty well on a Thursday with the brand new season. The packs inside of here are average. The other, you know, stadium themes and the T-Fos. I think I'm going to get annoyed by the T-Fos to be honest because everybody's going to get to level 21 and 23 and have techs. And Anders Vergang is their T-Fos in game. I'm going to be very annoyed by those just personally speaking. But all of the players that are released inside of the season look actually kind of nice. Level 10 Hector Bellerin, five star weak foot, two play style pluses. I know that we have Pedro Poirot right now and he's cracked. But that card looks solid. Weston McKinney, another USA card in the season. Five star skills, high-high work rates for him. That's a pretty cracked looking card as well. He's got anticipate. He's got aerial, very interesting set of play styles. So I'm excited for him. Level 25, you get an 83-20 or an 87-3. I wish this was an 84 times 20 and an 87-4. I think that would have upped the ante for level 25 just a little bit more. Level 30, there's two versions of Insignia. If you're like, Nate, what's the difference? One has got five star skills and a four star weak foot. The other one has got a five star weak foot and four star skills. I have a feeling EA did this last year. Remember the Darwin Nunez, we looked at it earlier on this week. There might be more of that coming out this week with like the two different versions of the same player. One with the five star weak foot, one with the five star skills. This guy actually could be cracked with five star skills. I don't know, maybe it's just me, but five star skills makes the dribbling just feel so much better. He's got technical plus and rapid. Very good ball control dribbling play styles for this card. He's going to be pretty nuts in game, especially because how short he is. So watch out for that at level 30. I'm going to take the skills version for sure. At level 35, you get a guaranteed foot birthday pack, which I'm not taking. I'm taking the 85 times 10 for sure. And then level 40 gives us our first icon player pick of the year that does not include base cards. So this will probably be out as an SBC in the next couple of weeks first before you get it here at level 40. But that's cool. There's no choice there. It's just that's what you get. I'm not going to complain about that for sure. Now also an objective is yesterday. You maybe have seen this Kolo Mani card that's floating around. How do you get to it? And first of all, what is this card? A striker with power shot plus aerial plus, but also anticipate plus whipped pass press proven. This card is all over the place. He's either going to be like really bad or he's going to be cracked. Imagine a striker with anticipate plus better tackles, but also press proven as a striker. Like this is going to be a really interesting card guys. So this objective is also very interesting. And the way that you get it done, you have to get level 10, 20 and then 30 and use those players. McKenney, Insignet and Bellerin play games with those cards to get yourself unlocked this Kolo Mani. So it might be worth doing if you just put them in your team later on during the season and finish this card off and get the card. You do get some XP as well, 500 XP per station. I guess you call it per objective and then you also get a pack as well. So that's cool. That Kolo Mani card is very interesting. So honestly a W season, but that wasn't even the best part. The biggest part of the season yesterday that was updated was division rivals rewards guys. These are absolutely insane. There are a lot of people who are saying that they are even going to go for go this far to say I am not going to play footchamps just so that I can prioritize rivals first. Take a look at this option two for the untradables is always the way to go at this stage of the year unless you really need coins. Division one reward upgrade for winning seven games to 100 K's to 45 K packs to rare gold pack for rare gold packs and look at all these packs. That is eight packs and then you get an 85 times for two of them and that's an 85 times eight right there and an 87 times two, which basically is an 87 times four and then you get your quality points and XP. That are those are insane packs. That is a lot of packs and a lot of higher rated guaranteed packs for yes, it is a higher division. But even if you go down here to like where I'm at division for division five is usually where I'm at right. You get a two mega packs to prime gold players packs to 85 times threes to 84 times fours. That's really good. That is very good for division rivals. A huge boost there in terms of the rewards you can get and it makes that weekly grind worth it. It's going to be sweaty because people are going to now be trying to progress towards the top of those divisions to try to get the best rewards possible. But I like that they actually gave us something to play for in rivals, which we've been complaining about the entire year to have that. We had nothing to play for and we actually had something to play for. So I'm not going to complain about that because that is cool. I am definitely going to be playing some more rivals in the next week and seeing how those rewards pay out because those are pretty cracked. Now, let's go to the SPC is really fast. Our showdown SPC from yesterday is all about Bastoni and I know that Bajorno just came out and a lot of people did that fantasy FC card and that one is a very good card, very good budget price card. 100,000 coins at SPC is expired, but great center back. He was this Bastoni also has potential to be very good. He's got anticipate plus slide tackle plus aerial good play styles. Even the passing play styles are pretty good, but it's this is honestly a comparison. I'm going to draw to the Felix SPC that was out a couple days ago. Felix is very hyped for his play style plus and his body type, right? He's got technical and just the unique body type that he has. Bastoni also has unique body type and they are very heavily favored to win this game. I know they're playing Napoli. It's not an easy game, but Inter are killing it in the Serie A. They are now out of the Champions League, but they are killing it in the Serie A. And this Bastoni card, if he, if they win this game and he goes to a 91 and then you evil him to a 92, this could be a downright correct center back card with above 90 physical 94 defense. If you evil him in like 85 to 86 pace maxed out and 275,000 coins. It's a lot more expensive than Lobotka for sure. If they somehow win this game, I mean, Lobotka's card, I don't even think Lobotka looks that good. He's cheap for a reason. His card stats are pretty mid. I think I'm rooting for Inter. I don't know if I'm going to do this SPC though. But a lot of people are doing it because this could be a really, really cracked card and his body type and game just makes him pretty OP. So that's just something I wanted to point out for you guys. It is craftable right now. If you want to go and get that done. I just, I don't need center backs anymore, man, at least for my club. I'm set. So that's the showdown from yesterday. We also had a play of the month. Verts and marquee matchups dropped yesterday as well. Now that's it up talking about yesterday and everything else going on. Let's get into today. All right. And we're going to dive straight into it by talking about the loading screen for ultimate birthday that EA updated yesterday and they showed us two cards. And right now, these are the only two cards that we have seen leaked by foot sheriff. It is a five star, five star center forward Argentinian with 93 passing and 97 dribbling. And also a five, five center forward icon that is Dutch with 91 pace and 86 defending guys. It has been leaked that this is Leonel Messi and rude hullet. Those are big name players. Of course, they put the big names on the loading screens, but like, okay. Messi and hullet like that is wild. I don't think any of us really expected Messi to be in foot birthday. He's never had a foot birthday before to my recollection, but that changes today. Leo Messi, these are predicted stats except for the 93 and the 97. Guys, right away when I saw this, I thought about why wait? Everybody has team of the year. Messi, right? Well, not everybody, you know, the 0.7 percent rumors and jokes that are going around in the stat that was thrown out by EA. But this is giving me vibes back to FIFA 20, where the foot birthday and bop a was better in game than the team of the year in bop a, even though it was lesser in stats, right? Plus four shooting five passing from that foot birthday card. If ever, if any of you played FIFA 20 and you use this card or you remember this, this card was better because it was five star five star and this 98 team of the year was just five star four star. And at first it was more expensive, right? I feel the same thing could be happening with Messi foot birthday today because a five star five star Messi, if they upgrade his work rates, like if he's high low, this card is medium low and he's five four. And the, uh, the stats and loaded screen show five five. If they move his work rates to like high low or something like that on this new foot birthday card today, he's going to be expensive. He is going to be expensive, but if they give him high low work rates and imagine they give him like technical and I don't know, instead of incisive past, like if they gave him finesse shot plus, this would become one of the most broken cards in the game. If he had technical and finesse plus, so it depends on the play styles today and his work rates for this messy and of course the pack weight, he's going to be expensive guys. He might be 10 million coins just like the team of the year is you might be five, six, seven mil. He's going to be at least, I think seven million coins. Let's be honest. The first day, especially for the top tier promo cards, they're going to be expensive. Don't expect this card to be affordable, but like this could be the type of level of messy that we're talking about is a messy that is actually better in game meta wise than the team of the year. That's just crazy to think about, but it's possible after seeing loaded screen. That's what I want to talk about today with that. And then if you talk about rude Hulet, I mean, number one, where's the leaks? I mean, I'm not complaining. I'm just genuinely curious. A lot of people have been joking that EA had layoffs in the past month as a lot of big companies have had in the current conditions of the economy, right? We're not talking the ultimate team economy. We're talking real life here, but this Hulet card was leaked. I guess or like this graphics looks like it was made before the loading screen because he does not have stats that match the loading screen, right? 91 pace, 86 defense, and this was, um, you know, 84 defense, 87 pace. So, um, I don't know if there's any more leaks coming today, but it's kind of weird that, uh, he had this concept made up with different stats. Anyways, this Hulet boost is insane, guys. 91 pace on Hulet and 86 defense. His best version is this insurance card. That's a plus five pace boost and a plus four defensive boost that is massive and a five star skill boost as well. I mean, it looks like they're going all out for the top tier cards and the upgrades, which just makes me hope that the rest of the cards released in this promo are juiced as well. Of course, they're all going to have a five star week foot or a five star skill move boost. That is a whole part of this promo. EA confirmed that again yesterday with this video. They said, welcome to a five star celebration. And they showed Diogo Jota doing five star skill moves. He already has a five star week foot, right? I think this Jota might be our third leaked card that we have right now, because again, it shows him doing five star skill moves. I think that confirms him in the promo. It says, you know, you're invited, blah, blah, blah. That's the McGee spin right there. I think it maybe shows him doing like a scoop a ball or a scoop or no, that's gonna move right there. Right. Another McGee spin five star skills. Elastico five star skills. So I think Jota is going to be in the promo as well. I don't know if he is coming out today. I don't know if he's an SBC. I don't know how he releases, but Jota messy and Hulet, that's all that we got. And I am genuinely excited for that because that again, is a little bit of a surprise factor that we most oftenly don't have on this game for big promos. I just hope that the juices that they give the rest of the cards that are dropped today are also very, very good. The card design is in the game. They've got an ultimate birthday and ultimate birthday icon designs in the game and already loaded in, especially since those cards are already in the season rewards. I just hope that these cards are semi packable today too. If they're going to make them good, give us a chance at packing them. I know I'm not going to have a chance at packing messy, but the middle to lower tier cards. I didn't mind the FC fantasy pack weight because you actually felt like you were packing some of those cards. And if they juice most of the team today and the lower tier ones are still packable, we could be in for a pretty good day and a fun day for cards that we actually want to try. Now let's talk about SBCs because we have no SBCs leaked, but last year for birthday SBCs were big name players. That's why I shout maybe Jota could be an SBC guys. Pedri was the first for birthday SBC we had last year. They gave him a five star weak foot instead of five star skills, which is why he was downvoted a lot. But then we had the Christopher and cuckoo blowing the balloon dynamic image and this was downvoted heavily because it was lower rated than his path to glory. We all thought he was going to give us like a 93 and cuckoo and our expectations were not met, but this SBC was still very good. It was 55 I used in my team for a long time last year, although he was a bit expensive at like 1.2 mil. They go they go big for birthday SBCs. I'm hoping that they go big for birthday SBC today. That is the hope on whoever it is guys. We have no leaks. We have no news of who that it's going to be. So right now we're just hoping that it's something good and I'm at least hold on my hopes there. That's what I'm hoping for now objectives. We already have Kolo money. We might have somebody else so watch out for objectives today, but evos is the next really interesting place to look at in terms of content today and all positions foot birthday evo is set to come soon. Players that fit this evolution will receive five star skill moves right that fits perfectly into what this promo is about and the technical playstyle plus forgive me if I'm wrong. This is the first evo of the entire year that gives technical plus I think from the actual evo itself. That is crazy. Can you imagine putting a player into this that fits the criteria and the stats and you get technical plus and five star skills. That is an automatically meta card. That's crazy and you've already started to see prices go up on the market for cards like this Rodrigo who evidently must fit the evolution. This guy was what 40 K yesterday forty six thousand coins. He went all the way to 90 K where he is right now because he must fit this evil. They know the requirements. They know the leaks. Can you imagine this card with a stat boost and technical plus here is regular technical but like that's combination of skill moves and the stat and the playstyle plus is automatically meta. This has really really big potential and the reason I saw this right away and was like wow that's crazy is maybe we haven't had an evo this crazy since like Pepsi legacy during winter wildcards and remember what happened during winter wildcards guys is that a lot of the market crashed because the evos were free or if they were paid they were so good that it was worth paying for them that people were going and doing the evolutions instead of buying players off the market for the teams and those evos were draining coins and they were players that people are putting in their teams ahead of their starting 11 players. So it was crashing the market because people were selling cards because the new evos were still cracked that they were putting those evil players into their teams is that sort of thing going to happen with for birthday. Are we going to go on another kind of trend here because there hasn't been in a while like absolutely insane meta evos. There's been decent ones. I know we had the future star Academy ones which were solid but these would be like next level if they're going to give out five star skill moves technical plus maybe next week it's finesse plus and five star week foot don't even let me dream about that that would be insane. That sort of thing could really change the market and it could really change the trajectory of the game and the content would be so high but that's the case if we're able to evolve a lot of players so I'm not trying to get too ahead of myself here but I'm just saying is that going to happen during for birthday where the evos go crazy once again because we're kind of do for that sort of thing because it hasn't happened since Winter Wildcard. So if you have somebody like Rodrigo yeah he could go extinct at 120 but you know the safe move for sure if you bought anything that is inflated because of this like sobo sly is up a bunch again. If you notice that icon Torres it's any card right any card fits his ego. So he's up he's like doubled in price almost he was 70,000 coins not quite double he's a hundred and 15,000 coins selling the hype for this stuff. I mean especially since it's so near to max price anyway for a lot of these and again once you get to max price you don't want to be selling there anyway. All right we learned that recently. We've been talking through that. So make sure to sell in the high for those if you don't want to risk it but that is that part of the market right there and that could impact the market even more later on now as we talk about the market in general and go to that side of the conversation today a lot of prices are down right Ramos is a card that I sold for like 550 multiple times during the week. He's down at 470,000 coins. I mean I'm looking across the market remember this Rashford I sold on what day was it month no I sold Rashford on a Wednesday for 1.75 guys. He's 1.4 down bad right. Fatih is a card that's actually gone back up a little bit but he's no longer live because they're out of the Europa League. Messi's card is down I actually listed up my Messi to sell just so I could take the coins on this card but I do believe this would be a card to watch tonight because Messi's new card is going to be crazy expensive the people that want to use Messi are not going to be able to afford him if there's panic on that card today watch that closely but yeah the market is down. There's no it's obvious right there's no arguing that that a lot of prices are down we needed the March reset we needed some of these prices to drop be completely honest but the real question is how low are they going to go and that really just depends today on how good the SBC content is and how good the prices are for the new ultimate birthday cards because you know if a new promo comes out especially for a promo like today that is very hyped up and there's a lot of anticipation for if the prices of the cards are astronomically high even for like the middle to lower tier cards that should be the most packable ones if those are very high that's not going to excite a lot of people and they're going to turn back to the other cards that they were using before I don't see that happening today I think that the lower tier of this team like it has been recently for promos like remember the fantasy fc promo right a lot of those cards were packable the lower tier ones like we got tired of packing all the lay may lose the Pedro poros the or bonds but then you also felt like you had a chance at packing Madsen who was pretty usable for a lower price or you know maybe somebody like not really Declan Rice there's not really a middle tier card in good one yet to 60 for good one that wasn't bad maybe you felt like you actually had a chance of packing majeurey or shall Hanuklu who I was able to pack right for decent prices or Konate even a lot of people packed him his price is actually down a ton on the market right now because of Bastoni yesterday he's getting absolutely destroyed but I think the lower tier that's how all these promos have been since team of the year the lower tier cards are the most packable and if the lower tier card today are juiced with all them having to place out plus on the cards with boosted stats that could really make more areas of the market crash but it's all going to come down to see what those new cards are priced at and how good they are how accessible they are right and how hype they are because if they're big name players that people see like oh I'm gonna go put that guy into my team and replace what I have already in there that's what's going to cause some panic but that's just something that we're not going to be able to see until we actually see the promo come out I've got a decent amount of safe packs for later we're going to open these try to pack for birthdays eighty five four eighty five three I'm opening some of the lower tier packs like the daily ones the eighty one doubles just to rinse those back into the club I saved by eighty three times tens from yesterday and yeah we are ready to see what happens say the exchanges are still out I believe the player pick is still out as well as the eighty plus player pick still here today because I know it's going to be here until content yeah this is here through the weekend that's unbelievable unbelievable what we're going to be able to craft all weekend and try to pack for birthday cards anyway that adds to the hype to the menu this game and it makes any SBC that gets released today automatically more craftable to so that's setting us up well for a really good weekend of for birthday now talking about a species once more let's talk about fodder fodder prices are low ish will there be an opportunity to buy this weekend I think that answer is a yes but it really depends I will only buy fodder or tell you guys to really invest in fodder if the SBCs look good I know there's potentially an icon pick or pack that'll be replacing the encore icon right this weekend at some point so I think there's potential for fodder to go up to that but it comes down for the play to the player SBCs to be completely honest for the high rated fodder especially the low tier eighty fives I'm not buying those eighty sixes those are already inflated for the of the encore icon eighty fours to I would not be buying those ahead of content today they're going to run lightning rounds there's going to be a bunch of packs tradable and untradable I wouldn't be investing in those I'm looking at eighty eights and above for investing in fodder like thirty six thirty seven K for nineties seems pretty good for like stock one in your club you can do some of that sort of action right now but we need to see a player SBC of this sort of value a million coins plus player SBC that is has a lot of hype to really make some fodder start to go up and then more icon packs and picks to come out after that to make it continually keep rising so I think there's a possible investment potential opportunity is what I'm trying to say and spit out for fodder this weekend but we'll just have to wait and see what the content comes out first before we really start to invest there and I think there is going to be supply today there is going to be promo packs so we're going to be careful with that last thing last thing to cover is road to the final cards guys because there is I believe it's even potentially happening not too long after this video comes out today actually it might be a little while after that but the champions they draw for the next round oh my gosh Gabriela Zeus is so low 1.71 it just goes to show you that right now not a lot of people are buying and a lot of people are selling getting ready for foot birthday that is so low but the draw happens today and so do upgrades right upgrades are going to happen today whoever is do a plus one like Peddi is do a plus one he's going to go to a 92 rated card but depending on who they draw today in the draw prices could be affected by that let's say that somebody like I don't know who's a good example let's say Dona Ruma and PSG draw Madrid or draw city Dona Ruma is probably going to drop because people are like oh man PSG are going to lose they're playing Madrid they're playing city they're going to lose he's not going to get upgraded and his cards going to drop and people are going to sell ahead of time let's say like Dortmund match up against the city or Madrid or I don't even know who else would be like a favorite team in this competition right probably those two would be seen as the favorites maybe Arsenal as well you think Arsenal they'd probably be Dortmund right or most people would think that straight off the bat Suley could potentially drop based off that so that's the one thing I would tell you about today to watch out for if you have those cards but those upgrades should be live today boosted and juiced in stats for those will be very nice for sure now I'm going to keep collecting my coins here I'm trying to just take a couple of sales my messy where's my messy at bro messy should be selling I love this card man oh my goodness he was so good to use I do not want to sell this car but I'd rather just have the coins potentially get him at a little bit of a lower price was he right now 845 850 870 and I saw like 10 of these like one guy has 10 messes listed up at 8 I think it was 880 so I'm like you know there's probably going to be a little more panic on him today for the new card coming I'm just going to sell that see if I get him at a lower price maybe trade with him and just take my 800,000 coins there back to the drawing board and see what we can do today on this game I'm hoping for a good day today guys I really am the 15th birthday for ultimate team let's hope EA show up and show out one more 84 plus pack to end the video and I have literally packed nothing except fodder from this promo of the release so I am not mad at all that this release is going away and that real new promo cards are coming back in so if you want to watch today on stream will be opening a bunch of packs will be trading we look at all the new content as it comes out that link is down below in the description twitch.tv slash the foot account I will see you guys in the Twitch stream today have a great Friday guys have a great weekend and I'll see you here on this channel for another video tomorrow it's been a foot account so you guys there peace out
