 Hey guys, it's Nate, aka The Foot Accountant. Welcome back to the channel. We're talking about that loading screen right there in today's video, Foot or FIFA 21 Freeze. It is a new promo that we have not ever had in this game that looks like is gonna be coming out this Friday in FIFA Ultimate Team. We need to talk about what this promo might be. Is it replacing Footmas? And what else is going on with the game right now because these Team The Group stage cards, their impacts for an extra day. I want to talk about that for a second as well. We have a new card design of the pack code. Not one that is new to us, one that we were expecting. And of course, talking about the rewards market today, what this does mean for Team The Group stages and what this could mean for the next week or two inside of FIFA Ultimate Team. Because we're also still looking for and wondering where are icon swaps and when are prime icons coming back into packs. So again, this Friday is gonna be a lot of question marks, a lot of uncertainty, so we're gonna start to decipher it and possibly talk about what it could be and hopefully get some information later today on Thursday from EA. By the way, it's Rewards Day. Good luck if you're ripping your rewards. Good luck if you're flipping. Of course, we got the transfer list full of stuff as well. So let's talk about FIFA Freeze. I'm gonna go back out and load back in and just show you this loading screen once again because I'm sure you've seen it but very simple loading screen. It just says Freeze on it and it looks like ice. That's literally that all that it is and there's a lot of stuff graphically that this looks like that ties to other promos and other games. This looks very similar and I don't think we can like read into this at all. It just literally looks like a goal, net and then like frozen ice. It's kind of weird, but there have been similar promos in FIFA Mobile and Madden called Freeze inside of their Ultimate Team modes or inside of FIFA Mobile. So we're gonna take a look at those just right now. I wanna take a look at the Madden version of Freeze first because the thing I'm the most interested in in this is because this was last year's Madden Freeze promo and like this kind of the design stuff looks almost exactly the same as what was on the loading screen right there. So they had new badges and collectibles. Not sure what that means. Ghosts of Madden Pass present in future. Maybe a flashback SBC is what that could mean but this is one thing out of position players. If we're really gonna have another promo without a position players in FIFA other than the ones we already have in the second half of the year like shapeshifters and stuff like that do we really need another promo with that kind of stuff? So not a lot of stuff in here, honestly that looks to be comparable to FIFA. It just looks like another promo basically. FIFA Mobile, this is where I think a lot of our thinking of where this FIFA Freeze is gonna look like and what it's gonna look like is coming from. Basically FIFA Mobile as you can see here this stuff started on December 12th. Football Freeze event unlocked December 12th. Now this is from last year, 2019 but it goes all the way through New Year's Eve and Boxing Day. So this is honestly a lot of people are thinking that what FIFA Freeze is this year for us is what summer heat was last year for footies because summer heat kind of replaced footies and that whole promo made it longer and more stretched out and they ran the summer heat program in like the background while they had other kind of stuff going on. So what people are thinking is is that FIFA Freeze or Ultimate Team Freeze whatever it's gonna be called is gonna be a promo that runs kind of like summer heat instead of like foot mis, we're still gonna maybe have foot mis SBCs but we'll have this freeze promo that starts like right now in mid December and runs all the way until team of the year and it's kind of like summer heat where they put one promo out and they just do all this other stuff in the game and they kind of brand it as one promo kind of like they did last summer with the summer heat promo. So that's why a lot of people are thinking that this might not be like a brand new promo it might just be a new way of saying hey we're gonna have foot mis, we're gonna have icon swaps, icon SBCs for the first time, team of the year nominees and packs possibly maybe they will make freeze cards. I haven't seen a car design yet from Foot Watch or anything like that but those are all things that we could see instead of this FIFA freeze promo and again right now it's all speculation because we do not have any real knowledge of what is actually gonna be coming out on Friday but that's kind of like the top I guess theory right now of what FIFA freeze is. Now with all the other content that we have had recently in this game the SBCs the past couple days man they've been real slow if you honestly think about it today we had an objective player yesterday we had literally no content since this Immobilia came out on what was that? Monday this came out on Monday we've literally had nothing so I don't know what EA is doing with this team the group stage is kind of like over and they're really kind of waiting for us to push for FIFA freeze or whatever it is this Friday could be a huge day so hopefully we get some more information on like icon swaps related stuff too because that'd be really cool if icon swaps was out this Friday is I feel like it's gotta be coming soon and maybe they're gonna drop icon swaps and prime icons on the same day we'll see but that conversation is probably for tomorrow at least for right now again our idea of FIFA freeze and what it is is most likely gonna be kind of like summer heat was and it's just kind of be like the whole winter promo just branded under one word instead of having team leader nominees having foot miss until team of the year so I guess that is kind of all that we know right now of course I would expect since they've already put out this loading screen I would expect an updated one today on Thursday post 6 p.m. time frame so part of our content today on Thursday should be another loading screen with it may be a car design maybe foot watch will tweet out a car design or something like that so we'll keep an eye out. We will keep an eye out for more related updated info screens because EA likes to do this and they like to tease us so we're really curious to see what that could be. Now speaking of foot watch they did tweet out one thing today and that is this car design right here this is one that we were expecting because this is for the David Beckham car that we are all going to get if you've logged into FIFA basically since like November or something you're gonna get an 86 rated David Beckham English Rail Madrid right mid card and that is gonna be coming out on the 15th the 15th of December is when that's gonna come out so that is the confirmed date it's kind of a weird date to be completely honest but the 15th is when that's gonna come out it looked like they loaded this car design into the game so that's what this was today that should be the only thing related to David Beckham and related to that car design that we see because that of course is kind of special to him. Next thing I wanna talk about with rewards today and with this new loading screen also I think EA messed up with this team of the group stage check it out this little info graphic right here right? The team of the group stage players were just this graphic was updated to say that team of the group stage players are actually now impacts until Friday at 6 p.m. UK when the new promo starts this one will end now before that said December 10th which was today on Thursday I honestly think that EA has done this before right? They've done this a couple of times before I think they weren't meaning to actually end the promo on Thursday and they extended it today I think they actually meant it to go on Friday and somebody just fat fingered a zero instead of a one on their 10 key at EA headquarters right here into the screen into the screen so I guess unless EA actually tweeted it out which maybe I'll go look at their Twitter and see if they tweeted the squad out on Friday and they said that it was gonna be out until the 10th then I would believe it and say that they messed up but at least for right now their graphic says, no their graphic does not say it just says available from 6 p.m. UK for a limited time so I guess this is the only place I think where they said it was gonna be on the 10th when they'll go out of packs and again I think they just messed it up graphically inside of the game so I think that I feel the same way about team of the group stage cards right now their impacts they're gonna get supplied a lot today during rewards a lot of these cards are down big oh my gosh Holland is 240 wow this guy has absolutely dropped off a cliff man he was like 250 to 60 today for most of the day he has absolutely dropped 270 both consoles he dropped off on the PlayStation he's still 260 on the Xbox which is making me kind of interested in this card for actually looking at it right now but I think this guy's gonna get supplied I do expect a little bit of a rebound after rewards today on some of these now are you gonna see a rewards rebound with the loading screen that is set up yes I do think you will it might not be the craziest rebound ever on like other out of pack special cards some of our popular players in the game you know that we're looking at to invest in for Thursday flips rule breakers record breakers out of packs informs and specials I do think you will see a decent market rise but maybe this new loading screen and just the state of FIFA right now feels kind of dead that might hurt that a little bit so I'm not expecting a huge huge huge rise today just something pretty just pretty you know okay and honest in all honesty just like a decent market rise today on a Thursday especially since there's a lot of question marks related to icon swaps a lot of people are just like are ready to grind to get an icon on their team and they haven't been able to do that yet I wanna take a look at this week's team of the week as well because again today at rewards day it's gonna be a fantastic time to flip these players if you're on if you're on and you're awake what is it like three two to three hours in that timeframe after week and the rewards come out a lot of people open their team of the week packs these cards drop down and then they come right back up if I had to guess on which cards would be coming back up today after rewards I would pick out Zaha, Pugba, Son, Malinkovic Savage and Quadrado and if I'm looking at a value buy today looking for a team of week card that could drop a bit of rewards and then rebound I'm looking at Quadrado for sure with that Paisy right back in the Serie A I still think it's a bit overpriced at 130 I think it'll come down but a lot of these cards should rebound a little bit after rewards because people are gonna open their team of week packs some people have saved their team of week packs and open them today already but this is a solid team of the week EA kind of not juiced it up but Son, it's his first team of week card of the year one goal, one assist Pugba of course gets in, Salah there's a lot of headliner names in here with Pugba, Salah and Son so one thing this also could possibly mean is an upcoming team of the week SBC repeatable because they kind of juiced up this team of the week we have a promo coming on the horizon so all I'm saying is, if you wanna buy 83s and you wanna buy some SBC fodder a lot of this stuff is still cheap and it's not a bad time to do a club stock still a great time to do a club stock and all honesty, some of the prices are even a smidge lower for the 84s, 85s and 86s than they were yesterday of course right now if you're at this stage of the game I guess you're waiting until rewards tonight I did not think that they were gonna stay this low I thought people were gonna start investing in these cards especially with a new promo coming even though it looks like it might not exactly be foot mis like we usually know it I still think they're gonna do a bunch of SBCs during foot mis dude, I love that foot mis card design I don't see EA going away from that that's been a staple of FIFA for so long so I feel like we're still gonna get foot mis SBCs or Christmas related SBCs inside of foot so I like the SBC fodder I like it for a club stock for sure and yes it could dip down a little bit rewards today but I think a lot of people are gonna start buying now for sure after this because they're expecting SBCs to be upcoming as a part of this promo so that's kind of what I expect for today with rewards as well you know some of these wrote to the final cards we're talking about these today they've been all over the place now we're getting one day closer to the upgrades because today is Europa League on Thursday so we're gonna find out for all of the players that are wrote to the final items which cards are gonna be getting upgraded which ones are not going to be getting upgraded I was looking at promas today promas you know I tweeted out today that I said watch promas he's gonna have a drop off he should rebound like Rashford now promas was not like Rashford at all and the reason why I'm realizing that promas did not kind of follow the same path that Rashford did and just to run you guys up to speed this is what happened with Rashford after their Tuesday game yesterday he got panic sold after the game into the night time hit a low on Xbox at 598 he rebounded to 645 you know decent profit there what does he run out 655, 660 on the Xbox right now and then he went down to 720 on the PlayStation and rebounded back to almost 800,000 coins and right now he's at 780 so there was a flip window in there if you timed it correctly because there was a panic sell-off now the difference with Rashford to promas was so many people were invested in this promas card so when they saw that IX was going to lose at the end of the game they went down 1-0 at the line to score everybody started panic selling this promas he was down at 150K just for a slight bit 150K the flipping graphs won't show it on PlayStation I saw him at 150K even at 180 he rebounded back to like 250 went back down to 220 or 200 and is now back up to 222K I still think this card has a little bit more room to drop off I think it's a little bit overvalued in my opinion right now I know they're going to the Europa League yes this item is going to turn yellow and black and it's going to be Europa League live item but for the moment I think it's too overpriced especially considering what is going to be coming market drop possibly the freeze slash foot miss promo coming up as well so you know if you made money on this card today GGs it just did not have the exact same movement as Rashford did now one card that did have a similar movement to Rashford was Hazard except Hazard and Real Madrid they won they didn't lose like Rashford and United did but check this out man Rashford today I actually sold mine pre-game I took the easy coins I said I'm taking the guaranteed coins I sold it at 800K about right here after the first goal that Real Madrid scored this Hazard went to 950,000 coins for a hot second he went all the way back down to 700K and has since rebounded to 750 now this is very similar to the Rashford situation I don't know why this Hazard went up to 950 honestly I don't know why people ended up buying him up there is my question how did he get up all the way up to that price I guess part of the reason I can answer is because or I can answer is because this guy is just super duper rare very rare card high rated wrote to the finals did not have a lot of pack weight anyway but if you own any of these cards and you haven't sold them yet the upgrades are yes they're coming tomorrow but I think a lot of these cards are still going to drop off because I think they're still over invested in some of the Europa Leagues for sure not over invested in but I think people are valuing them too highly right now at this stage of the game because they're not going to get upgraded until you know maybe they're going to upgrade right now if their team moved on next round but now they're not going to get an upgrade until February after on Friday so that's kind of what I would say about these take the cash run and we'll buy back into these in January and you know into February even if you want to with Champions League or and Europa League not resuming until then so that's kind of my thoughts on those again these group stage cards man are really cheap and this is my last thought that I'll leave you with with these group stage cards yes they're really cheap yes they're really supplied but man I also think a lot of people want to use these cards in their FIFA Ultimate Teams because number one they are so cheap dude this Holland at an 87 rated inform has an 87 rated inform that was more expensive than this when he first came out into packs that inform is 300k and now this card is 235 with better stats better card design and still a dynamic image so a lot of these cards are very very cheap I know we have so many left wings in this game but Raheem Sterling being 180k for the player that he is known as in FIFA the links that he gets is really crazy 94 pace for sure is wild in my opinion that's really really low Messi being 1.6 mil for a central Messi card central Messi card in FIFA never used to be this cheap man now I know Messi isn't a player that 161 wow man that's so low and dude the jersey kind of like blends in with the card design oh that's a good looking card right there so I guess just watch these team the group stage cards today they could bounce a little bit watch icons today as well there might be some icons that bounce with rewards I know a lot of people are kind of staying away from that stuff just because they're not too sure about how those cards are going to be impacted on the market in terms of icon swaps and stuff like that but you know one other thing you could look at as well is maybe some of these road to the finals gets sold off like this Griezmann's back down in the 540s 530s maybe there's an opportunity for him to rise back up into the upgrade timeframe on Friday night if you want to get a bit risky with that you can get a bit risky with that so that's kind of all the stuff for today's video watch the team the week today during the supply from the week and the rewards good luck on your week and the rewards hopefully we get some more information from EA today related to the foot breeze which I think we will see hopefully an updated loading screen maybe a card design from Foot Watch if we are getting a team in packs we'll definitely be getting a card design in my opinion so of course a foot mist card design would be very interesting too so we'll dissect that as it does come available to us so if you enjoy this video smash thumbs up on it comment down below if you have
