 Hey guys, it's Nate, A.K. The Foot Accountant. Welcome back to the channel. It's a big Friday today on FIVA 22 because Future Stars is here. I wanna take a look, of course, at the team that is coming out in packs today, the content that we could maybe expect to see SBC and ObjectiveWise as this is one of the biggest fan favorite promos of the year. Of course, we're coming off of a very, very good team of your promo, but there's a lot of promising looks and a lot of promising content coming with this Future Stars promo as well. So we're gonna talk about it all today, talk about the market as well, how I think this game could react depending on how EA does this promo today. And of course, talk about maybe some things you can do to prepare as well for this promo and also make some coins because a lot of people have been doing upgrade packs, spamming upgrade packs, trying to pack Team of the Years, but that is ending today, right? All of these SBCs are going away. So we'll maybe talk about how even early today on Friday, if you wanna try to pack some Future Stars and save a few of these packs, there might be some reasons to do that as well. So we'll kinda look through that as well. But Future Stars is always a big promo and we're gonna look at the team here in a second. There's some pretty good cards in here. I don't know if it's like insane amount of hype, but still, since these cards are items that we never usually get to see specials for in this game, it's still gonna be a pretty cool promo today. So if you're hyped for Future Stars, of course, make sure you hit a thumbs up and of course, subscribe if you're new. But without further ado, let's look at this team, right? This is what everybody's excited about is the team that's coming into packs today. And these are the players we should see in packs also with confirmed stats. Now, one thing that I will point out right off the bat is that the Jude Bellingham they're showing on the loading screen has 85 shooting, the leaked stats were 84. So that's one stat difference. Maybe there's one other stat difference on his card, but for what we see here, these stats should be pretty accurate to what we see today per the foot sheriff leaks. So again, Bellingham, Vlahovic, Smith-Roch, how many looks really good, Konate looks decent, Mateus Kuni looks really good in my opinion. I even think that Indica looks really good for a pretty cheap option, right? And again, the pull and the hype and the excitement about these cards is that these are youngsters that a lot of them don't have many special cards on this game, especially if EA comes out today and does some skill mover week foot upgrades. Of course, we hope to see that with Vlahovic, right? Maybe a four star, four star upgrade on him, maybe like a five star skills on Damseguard or imagine Smith-Roch with five star skills. That would be insane, right? So we hope for some of that kind of juice to keep this promo hype today. Now, some of the lower tier cards, you know, I was looking at this leaked team that we're supposed to get today and it kind of compared it to last year. I feel like last year's Future Stars team one was undoubtedly better, right? I think if you look at through these cards, these 11 players here, the stat boost that they were on these cards, some of the position changes, the four star, four star upgrade on Bergwine. The stats here look really, really insane. I don't honestly think that this team lives up to that kind of hype, but I feel like it's not super duper far off, right? Bellingham looks absolutely disgusting. Chalmany looks really usable. Smith-Row, Kunya, and Dicca, even Trincau. I think Trincau looks pretty good. There's definitely gonna be some usable cards released today. Now, one thing that people might not like about this is some of these dudes might not have in-game player faces if you really care about that, because they don't have facecans for everybody in this game. And also not 100% of all of these cards are coming out today, right? I believe that Gakpo and Joao Pedro, these two players right here, are gonna be a part of the mini-release that will be released on Sunday. So we'll have everybody else in here, except for Gakpo and Joao Pedro, supposedly, right? That is the leak for today. One interesting note about Vlahovic at the moment is that Vlahovic just transferred, right? And his items right now in FIFA are all Fiorentina versions. Like, if we actually search him up, all of his versions that are in this game are Fiorentina. Well, he just transferred to Juventus. So there's hopes that he would come out as a Juventus card today. I think that would add some hype to his card, for sure, if he was. Now, one thing that, you know, EA usually doesn't change stuff like this, but one thing that does seem pretty promising is one of the storyline players that they added to FIFA yesterday, Jordy OC Tutu, which I believe, if we take a look on football, he might be near the top page. This guy right here, they changed his nationality, they changed his team because they incorrectly didn't have his team right because he transferred during this last winter window and they gave him his new upgraded transfer team. So, there is hope today for Vlahovic bitch, Vlahovic. Whoops, Vlahovic being a Juventus card. I got nothing against this Vlahovic guy, by the way. That was just a misspeak. That's fantastic. Anyways, I hope that that's a Juve card today and this little change that they had here, I hope that it is reciprocated as well with Vlahovic today. So, that's kind of what we're looking for with the team impacts. Now, again, what it really comes down to today for the prices on these cards is the pack weight. Pack weight matters a ton. I know we've been talking about it a little bit this week. I just think that EA, if they're not going to juice the stats up on some of these cards, I feel like they're gonna up the pack weight, right? And I do think that we will see some of these players pack plus. We'll see lightning rounds. I don't know about preview packs, but there are gonna be a lot of packs open today. And as we can look from a 125K pack, team of the year honorable mention players have an 11% pack weight. Now, last year, the Future Stars items had a 4% pack weight out of 100K packs. Just a slightly less valuable pack, so 125 right now gives 11% for the honorable mentions. Obviously, pack weight is higher this year. I just feel like EA has to make the pack weight higher for this promo. We'll see, but since we're coming off of a very expensive promo with team of the year with a lot of cards that are high in price, it would make sense for EA to try to maybe cater towards some of those players in FIFA that don't have as many coins. So, if you don't have over a million coins, you can still go out and try one of these cards that will come out today. So, hopefully, they're pretty cheap. That's one thing that we would like to see. And again, speaking of these upgrade packs, as you saw me had some stacked in there, from the team that we have coming out today, right? We have players from all different leagues represented, Premier League, we've got League Un, we've got LaLiga, Bundesliga, Serie A, of course. So, if you're wanting to pack or if you just wanna do some 81 plus double upgrades specifically for the Future Stars team today, I know some people are gonna be crafting some of these upgrade SBCs that were out for a team of the year, but saving them and trying to pack these Future Star items today. So, I mean, how many prime guys do you have in here? You've got Smith Rowe, you've got Konate, and you have Trinkal, there's three. Bundesliga, you've got one, two. And then, so, you have a couple of League Un, you have a couple of Serie A. So, it's really spread out, right? The last, of course, team of the year was just a lot of cards from the Premier League and the League Un. But if you wanna save some upgrades to potentially pack one of these Future Stars today, that's something that you should definitely look into doing this morning. That's a good shout, good call in my opinion, because there's great upgrade SBCs that are out right now. So, make sure that you go ahead and do that. Now, speaking of SBCs again, what kind of content could we see today? Now, last year on the first Friday of Future Stars, we had a player pick SBC. I'll talk about this in a second, if you guys remember these different versions from last year. Last year, day one, we had a player pick SBC of the Bruno Guilherme card, right? I think that since this was one of the earliest leaks for the Future Stars promo this year, I would imagine that the Tomoyasu would be the SBC we have today. Definitely not guaranteed that it's not a leak or anything like that. But that is something that we could see today. As well as we might see the Academy objective. Now, last year, we didn't see the Academy objective on day one. It came on the weekend. So, I don't know if we would get Chaloba today, or if they would just drop a Future Stars moments card. Last year, we had moments Sondro Tonali, if you remember that. So, I do think that we will get an objective and that we will get an SBC player. I just don't know if they're gonna start off with the player pick, which I would imagine they would, but I don't know if they're gonna start off with the Academy player right off the bat. So, that's just, if you're really looking for this Chaloba card, he is leaked. He is gonna be coming. Just not sure what day he is gonna be coming. Now, one last thing to talk about with the Future Stars team. As we saw last year with Reina, James, and Diego Delo, they had these dual potential cards, right? And it is leaked by Footshare that they are gonna be doing the exact same thing this year. So, the first version of these cards will be coming on Sunday, and the second version will be coming next Sunday. So, as you can see here, last year, we had like a CDM Reish James, and the right back one, a right mid Reina, and a center attack in mid Reina, and the stats changed based on the position of the card, right? Left back, right back Delo. I think it might have even changed his left footed, right in game. So, that's the kind of stuff that we might see. Now, if it is gonna be a part of the mini-release, then Gakpo and Joel Pedro would be the ones that would have those position changes. So, we'll just have to see how that kind of plays out later in this weekend a little bit. But again, these are the cards we're expected to see later. I'm excited for it. I really am. I'm really just curious to see how expensive they are on the market. Now, speaking of the market, let's talk about what we can expect today. They don't, they have the card design here yet? Okay, I do not see the card design yet. Hopefully, that is added early. They've kind of been slow. I mean, Team of the Year and Honorable Mentions were added a bit late last week, if I remember. I remember searching for Messi day one last week of Team of the Year, and you had to search him through the special quality. You couldn't do the Team of the Year card design. So, market-wise today though, I really think it comes down to the SBC and the Packweight. Again, we talked about Packweight a little bit. I hope EA makes these pretty packable. But I also think it comes down to that Tomiasu. If that's a very cheap SBC, the stats in that card look really good. And if there's any other SBC content, I feel like if there is a W in SBCs and everybody is really excited to try out new players and these guys are cheap when they come out on the market, then you might see some of the market drop. And I think places where you might see the market drop right away would be on these Honorable Mention cards. Yes, they are going out of packs, but a lot of people would sell these to go try a brand new Future Stars. Now, also the opposite play is in effect here, that if the Future Stars today are maybe overpriced, not seen as very hype, then some of these Honorable Mentions might go up as they go out of packs and people say, okay, none of these brand new cards look that insane to me. I'm not gonna buy any of them. I'm just gonna go out and buy cards that I already know and like that are decently priced on the market from Team of the Year. Because I would say that for a lot of these Honorable Mention cards, they look just as good, if not better, than the Future Stars. It's just they're kind of like normal players that we usually see special cards for in this game, right? And not any of these guys are like Future Stars items in their own right. So a lot of these cards have dropped because for the past two days EA has run lightning rounds, right? Kiesa, I believe on Wednesday was like 270,000 coins. Yeah, 270,000 coins on Wednesday. He is 225 right now. Holland was like 520, he's 470. Gretzka is down, Bruno is down, Voden is down, Kunde and Jonathan David are down a decent amount. So a lot of these cards have dropped and people are like, man, can I invest in these? What I would honestly wait for today is wait for a little bit of panic selling. And if, depending on how the cards look as they enter in on the market for these Future Stars when they get dropped in the game today, if they look really, really expensive in that first 15 to 30 minute window, then I think what you're gonna see is people go back out on the market and buy these cards back up and then use them instead of the Future Stars. So what I would really watch out for today is if it doesn't feel like a hype day on FIFA, then I would say you're gonna see these honorable mention cards go up. We've seen it happen multiple times this year. We're on a promo Friday. If whatever content that drops is not very hype, you see the most recent team of special cards that people are trying to use, they're hyped about using in their teams. Those cards rise pretty significantly, very quick after the content. And in the first like 30 minutes to an hour or less, these cards start to bounce back, sometimes even faster than that because people are like, okay, nothing new today interests me, I'm gonna go buy the cards that I want and play weekend league. So those are kind of the scenarios that we're looking out for today. I think that you might see a little bit of panic selling though, because just again, Future Stars in general for casual players on this game, Future Stars is just a promo where there's cards that are available that people don't ever get to use in FIFA, right? Like how often do you use some of these guys in this game, right? How often do you use Damseguard or how often do you use maybe Trincau would be hyped for a decent amount of people or Indica looks like a really good cheap center back card, right? I think that the Indica card today is a specific one that I would watch out for on the market would be his teammate, Niakate, right? Niakate has the Winter Wild Cards item that is like, wow, it's already dropped off a lot. I did not notice. He's down a lot from where he was, but I think this guy's been dropping because Indica looks better than him. Indica has 85 pace, 80 passing, 84 dribbling, which is a plus nine boost on Niakate, and he has both better defending and physicality stats than Niakate does. So that's why you're seeing some of these cards drop. Also, there's a Laquois leak for team two. That's out there. And if we get a center back or a right back player pick for Tomiasu today, that would be very interesting as well. So I think a lot of the market really today depends on these future stars cards, but that's gonna have to be a play that we make in real time. Now, if you're looking to buy some cards for your team today, if you think about somebody like Gold Messy, right? Gold Messy's been chilling around 300,000 coins because he's been out of packs for team of the year. What I would honestly do with a card like Messy is, you know, he's gonna be back in packs for all the lighting rounds today, and he is gonna get packed. So if there's any Gold Messy, Gold Ronaldo, Golden Bappe that you're looking, Gold Kante that you're looking to get for your team today, I would try to buy them in the first hour or so, in my opinion, because they're gonna get packed from people that are opening packs for future stars. They're gonna drop down a bit, and then they could rebound a little bit later on into the night. So I would definitely keep an eye out on those cards today. The team of the honorable mentions I would watch out for, and just any market panic in general, right? We've had people that have been selling cards in this game because people are worried about like Chalmeni, right? A lot of people have been selling their headliners Fofana because they're worried about Chalmeni. Fofana right now is, how much is he? Where's this card at? 850,000 coins. So you might see a little bit more panic selling on him today on this game, and just watch your winter wild cards, watch your team of the group stage items. I mean, some of these cards are still kind of up in price and inflated from where they were, but again, you could see bounce backs later on tonight in the market. I would expect bounce backs regardless on a lot of your most meta and your most popular cards today on this game, but it really just depends on if there's gonna be some panic selling or a drop during that first hour or two after the promo, which will make the market move a little bit differently. So other parts of the market to watch out for, SPC fodder. SPC fodder I would expect to drop during the lightning rounds, but one thing that I'd be very careful with this, and we saw it happen a couple of weeks ago on the first Friday of team of the year, is SPC fodder dropped down for like an hour, but since there was a base or mid icon player pick that was available, that player pick got so cheap that everybody went out into the market and bought fodder to go and do that SPC. So we do have a mid icon that is still gonna be out and repeatable for the next few days. This SPC is 319,000 coins. If this, with fodder dropping so much, if you see in like really big SPC price drops in the first hour to two hours of today, and this mid icon upgrade goes from 300,000 coins down to like 200K to complete or something crazy like that. I mean, it's even down right now at 317K. It's the cheapest that has been, but if this SPC is like 250K or less showing on foot bin, then that means your fodder cards have dropped a lot and there could be a bit of a bounce back after the supply, because just like we saw with that player pick when it was out, people saw the fodder went really, really cheap, and some of these SPCs are gonna be staying past today. Like the Veran SPC is still gonna be out. Some of your other team of the SPC, like I think even the Lautaro Martinez is gonna stay out for a little while. Let's see, what else is gonna be out? The Giroud is out for 10 more days. Not many people are doing Daniomo, but KiR is still gonna be available. Again, Lautaro, the mid icon. So, you know, or the mid or prime icon upgrade if people have not done that, that's still available. So there's decent amount of SPCs still going to be out that I would keep an eye on the fodder market today as well. And one thing also not to sleep on will be icons, right? Definitely keep an eye on some of your icons today because as we always see on promo Fridays, some people try out brand new cards in their teams and if they don't have any way to link them very easily, they will go out and maybe buy an icon or two to link those items together. So maybe focus on some of the nationalities that are very popular from some of these icons. That are coming in like the team today for Future Stars and keeping on that. So, you know, it's really a curious day today at FIFA. Like I know we always talk about how the content is king, right? Content really controls how the market is going to move, but I'm so curious today to see the pack weight. And because Future Stars based on the team that we have looked at does not look as insane as maybe we've seen in years past, like in FIFA 21 or FIFA 20, where Future Stars was just juiced to the absolute max. I'm really, really curious today to see how this market reacts. I'm curious to see the pack weight and I'm curious to see that Tomiasu SBC because I think Tomiasu would be an SBC that a lot of people would do. And, you know, I still have some honorable mention cards chilling here on my transfer list. I have some, some Hollins. I have, you know, some Donnaruma team of the years. I've got a Rudiger. So, you know, I'm keeping an eye on that Rudiger today. And if there's a lot of panic selling, then I might sell that Rudiger card that I have because I bought that Rudiger at, I believe I bought it at like 590. And he was like 630K, but he's not quite there. Again, with all the lighting rounds that EA has been running, these cards have dropped down a bit with the extra supply. So, I know a lot of people are gonna have their eyes on the honorable mentions, but we have to just wait until content to see how that plays out and see how the market reacts today. So, if you wanna watch live on stream, we'll be taking a look as this content drops today on Twitch. Make sure you click that link down below in the description if you wanna catch us live there looking at the SBC's objective and all of that other special content today. I would expect to see themselves giving out a couple more Future Stars swaps tokens as well today as a part of the content. So, it's a fraud and FIFA man, new cards and packs, lightning rounds, a lot of price fluctuations. You'll be able to trade with the Future Stars today for sure because they will have hype as these cards that don't get specials often, they will be really good to trade with. So, don't kind of, you know, write yourself off in terms of, hey, I'm not gonna be able to trade with the first day promo cards. You're absolutely going to be able to trade today with some of these items, depending on their rarity, depending on their price, we're gonna keep an eye on a lot of that stuff today. So, if you're hyped for Future Stars, let me know down in the comments. But of course, smash a like on this video if you did enjoy it and subscribe to the channel if you are new. You might have seen a team of the year counter is up to three. I snagged Donaruma as the last team of the year. I do have a couple more packs that we are saving up at the moment, but Donaruma was our last team of the year that we packed. And so, this is our total team of the year that we have packed during this promo. I'm gonna open a few more packs there on Friday before they actually go away, but it's a dub, right? Kante, Hakini, Donaruma, and then some honorable mentions, one that we turned into an SBC for fodder. So, a W team of the year in my books, I still have about seven and a half, maybe eight million coins somewhere in there. And we're gonna turn the focus really back to trading hard and getting this coin total up, icon moments coming soon, and a lot more stuff in February and in March, before we get into the latter stages of FIFA, right? There's still a lot of good content that is coming, and we need to have coins for it. So, a little bit of rambling here at the end, but once again, thanks for watching the video today. I appreciate you, and I'm excited for future stars. It has been Nate, The Foot Accounting. I will catch you guys later. Peace out.
