 Hey guys, it's Nate, AKA the Foot Accountant. Welcome back to the channel. It is a huge Friday inside of FIVA 21 because of that loading screen and the promo we are getting today. Footies is here. We are getting Footies today in FIVA 21. Now, we already know some of the content that is gonna be coming because of the vote that happened earlier this week on Wednesday. I wanna talk about what to expect today in terms of SBCs, objectives, what cards are going to be in packs based off of this loading screen and we saw what does this loading screen mean? I wanna talk about that and a lot of things were added to the code yesterday along with preview packs are not done. EA pulled a fast one on us today and they said and they released some information you probably saw it as you were loading in FIVA. Preview packs are not done. The store is gonna look a lot different. There's actually gonna be maintenance in about an hour or so that is going to fix up the store, change it up and they are gonna be adding some new things in and I'm gonna talk about that as well. But first, what I wanna talk about is footies and I wanna show you again, the stuff that is on that main screen. This screen right here, I know the image is a little bit grainy but you can see what it is, right? These are the different types of promo cards that should be re-released back into packs today, right? Again, we've been talking about it. We're not expecting brand new footies cards to be in packs. We are expecting a re-release of some of these items to be put back in the game. So team of the year is basically, this is every single promo up until team of the season except there's a couple cards that are not in here. Future stars items are not a part of this list. Neither are team of the weeks, which is kind of interesting as well but there's gonna be a ton of special cards that are back in packs today on Friday. That is the expectation. So of course, as people have seen these cards on the loading screen, you've already started to see some sell-off and some of these prices have gone down as people are expecting these cards to be in packs today. Perfect example is Alfonso Davies, right? You've seen a little bit of the sell-off happen already. Alfonso Davies was 460, 470,000 coins. He went all the way down to 390, actually bounced back to about 420,000 coins but I'm telling you this right now with the preview packs that are going to be on the game. There's gonna be preview packs today. We were expecting there not to be but for all of these special cards, people are gonna be opening preview packs today and it's going to supply the market big time with these cards because think about it this way. When you have all these different special cards that are in packs, the amount of value that you're getting back from these preview packs is so much better than you normally do because instead of getting a normal 85-rated gold, that card might have an 87-rated inform or something that is in packs and you're gonna get a lot more value from it. Now what that's going to do is people are going to profit off of their preview packs. It's gonna bring a ton of supply to the market and it's going to crash prices big time because of course with all this supply, people might not even want to buy some of these cards that are getting re-released. Like who really is wanting to buy some of those record breaker cards or some of these cards that have been released that are just not met up in this stage of the game anymore. Like you take a look at this Jovic card, 89-rated. If he has re-released back into packs today, he could go to like 20K. He really could because there's gonna be so much supply on the market and really not a ton of people are going to want to buy those except for SBC fodder or whatever. So I just think that there's a huge potential today for a lot of these cards to really, really drop off in price and I'm really interested to see what cards they put in packs because of course with the team of the year card design being on this loading screen, does that mean all team of the years are gonna be in packs? What about like Mbappe? Mbappe has a record breaker card and a team of the year. Van Dyke has a record breaker and a team of the year. It's gonna be interesting to see today what they release because it doesn't necessarily mean that all the entire, all the foot birthdays, all the record breakers, all the team of the years, not all of them will be in packs today. EA is probably gonna pick some specific few cards and then release those and I doubt it would literally be all of these different types of cards because of course, again, like the Mbappe, like the Van Dyke, you can only have one special card that is in packs at the same time. They can't have both the record breaker and the team of the year in packs at the same time as far as I'm pretty sure that's never been possible before but these are the types of cards that we will see back in packs today but it's really, I think these cards and I think those guys being in packs is really gonna affect the market a lot. I really do think that it is because with those preview packs continuing which we were not expecting, you're gonna see so many people, I think, getting good preview packs today and actually going out and buying those packs with coins or with FIFA points and trying to make a profit off of them. I really think you're gonna see a lot of that today, not even with these really high team of the year cards. It's gonna really end up being a lot of the lower tier cards, a lot of the, you know, headliners, what ifs, ones to watches that are gonna be in a lot of packs that it's gonna make people profit today so I'm expecting the market to crash a decent amount today just because of those preview packs and how it's gonna drop prices across the game. But honestly, what really is a big part of today is the SBCs. Now we're gonna talk about preview packs again and the whole situation with that but I really wanna talk about what to expect today, content-wise, SBC-wise because Footies is an SBC-based promo, right? We have a lot of cards that are gonna be, a lot of SBCs that are gonna be expiring today, the player picks, you know, this paqueta, the Dolberg, some of your festival of foot challenges are gonna be expiring today. I wonder if some of these SBCs that I've completed are gonna be expiring today as well, like some of these upgrade packs. All that's probably gonna go away. Now one thing we guaranteed, we are guaranteed to have today is a left mid Carvahall SBC because we are like really, really sure that he won the vote over Manolis and we are expecting him to get a Footies card today. Now this is the actual card design, this was added to the code earlier tonight. Of course it is different, it is a lot more, I guess you could say regal and definitely more pretty than the nominee card design. So this is the actual Footies card design of a winner. So like Carvahall is gonna have a boosted and upgraded left mid item today. That is one of the SBCs that we are 100% expecting. I would also expect to see another player vote. Again, we've talked about this the past two days. They'll probably release a player vote on the same day as a winner SBC is released. So it's every other day, we're gonna have a vote and a winning Footies player item released in this game. So that is 100% what we would expect today inside of the SBC section. I don't know if they would drop any other player SBCs or anything other than that. They might start re-releasing some of the older content. We could even see that as early as today. That's something that's happened in Footies. Re-released SBCs from earlier on this year, maybe like a Marcelo flashback, maybe a Coutinho flashback SBC. Some of those SBCs that have happened in the past couple months that are still pretty high rated. Maybe the Rooney SBC gets re-released. That could be the type of content that we see today. Now also I would expect objectives. Now last year as a part of the Summer Heat promo which was almost the same thing as Footies, we saw a Foot Academy. It was called a Summer Heat fan favorite but it was one of those tiered objectives where you had an 85 Phryll and Mendy, then you played a few games, completed objectives, unlocked the 87 version, played a few more games, unlocked the 89 and then you played a few more games to unlock the final version. Now I'm wondering, we haven't had an objective like that in a long time since like Future Stars so I'm really wondering if we're gonna have an objective like that today if they're gonna bring that concept back out in the game. And the hype levels of the content today for me really rely on the objective player if it's a big name player, if it's a juiced up card and again the SBCs because yes, we're gonna have these cards in packs and that's gonna be cool. It's gonna be fun to open packs because you're just gonna see a whole bunch of different special cards, whole bunch of different colors and it's gonna be fun. But in my opinion, the content of Footies today is really gonna be dependent upon the SBCs, how much they juice Carvahall because that's gonna set a standard, right? The Carvahall SBC is gonna set a standard for how Footies is probably gonna play out for the rest of this week and probably this being a two to three week promo if we're being realistic. So that's what I'm really looking forward to seeing today and really I guess thinking about seeing content wise. So let's talk about a few other things. What is gonna happen to the market today with the preview packs? Again, I wanna talk about these pitch notes just a little bit because this was information yesterday that EA told us about and relating to the preview packs. Now I talked about it in the past few videos. We were expecting preview packs to be done. We were expecting things to go back to the old way but EA said, hold up, we have different plans because they have a new store. Look, basically starting today, the foot store it's gonna be updated and there's going to be preview packs and old packs which are just standard packs, right? So there's gonna be so many packs in the store it's actually gonna be kinda crazy. You're gonna have your preview packs for the 5Ks, everything from, it sounds like, from bronze packs up to gold packs and beyond, you're gonna have the normal ones. Like if you think about basically how packs have always been in FIFA where you just buy the pack, opens it up, whether it's with FIFA points or coins, that's the old way, right? And then of course there's a new way with the preview pack. There's gonna be basically double in the store a preview option and a standard. This sentence sums it up. Both the standard foot packs and the preview packs will function in the same manner as they did previously. So players will have the option of which foot packs they want to engage with. So if you're somebody who likes to spam lighting rounds and you're gonna spam lighting rounds today, you probably wanna go with the standard packs because it's easier to spam packs over and over and over the old way, right? Now the new way is gonna be interesting as well because you're gonna be able to maybe even open some of those packs with coins if you're trying to make the 5K pack methods the 7.5K pack method depending on how many special cards are in packs today could be profitable. Opening those packs with coins, selling the contents we'll have to decide that and look at that when it comes out. But it just really, the store is gonna look different because there's gonna be preview packs and the standard packs, which to me, especially if they do like double lightning rounds like preview pack lightning rounds and non preview pack lightning rounds that's gonna be very, very interesting and that's gonna bring a ton of supply to the market today. And that is gonna be the way that it goes. So preview packs today though for me really makes me think that a lot of these cards that are going to be in packs like the what ifs. We look down the list here and we know that we're getting foot birthdays in packs today, Ferlan Mendy was 470,000 coins. He's now down to 390. And this is one thing that I want you guys to keep an eye out for today. Last year I made a lot of coins doing this when they re-release cards back in packs. Watch out on your popular meta and rare slash harder to pack items out of these teams. So Sane, Lucas, Mendy for sure from foot birthday, this team, maybe the other foot birthday team you're looking at Sterling, you're looking at Adama or Awar, maybe even Tamori or Atal for a lower tier, lower price option. Watch out for these cards because there's gonna be a lot of panic selling still and there's gonna be a lot of supply in that first hour and cards that are meta, especially team of the years. I'm really gonna keep an eye on team of the years today because if these guys have huge drop offs like Van Dyke, a Trent Alexander Arnold, a Bruno Fernandez and Mbappe or Ronaldo, a Messi, I'm gonna keep an eye on these because if there's a huge drop off with the supply and the panic selling, again, these cards are gonna get cheap. There's still a weekend link to play this weekend. They could very easily bounce back. So I wanna definitely keep an eye on some of that stuff today, just watch your most popular meta cards that are a part of these different items that are coming out. Again, I would really just focus on foot birthday, maybe foot freeze, maybe some of the road to the finals, team of the years and maybe a couple headliners or what if cards, depends on which items actually get re-released. Again, the more rare and meta that card is, the better it's probably gonna do and have a chance to rebound. So I'm gonna be looking at that today. Also, they added some new packs to the code. This is tweeted out by Footwatch last night. All this code is, is a bunch of preview packs, right? You have an 81 plus rare three. You have an 80 plus rare five and 81 plus rare seven. These are all preview packs. So they're going to be in the store, right? Prime gold players pack, rare players pack. Like it's just a lot of preview packs. The first three of these are basically just preview packs, right? Now, there's an interesting pack that they added called an 87 plus star rare player pack. And we've never heard something related as a star. So this is where the question marks for me come in today. What is a star rare player pack? Because there's two versions of this pack code, right? This star rare player pack says that it contains 12 rare gold players, one player guaranteed to be 87 plus. So was that one player that's 87 plus guaranteed like called a star? Or is there some other thing that they're gonna talk about today that they're gonna name a star, right? Like are the players released back in packs stars or something like that? I don't know. But that is something that we're very curious about. What does that mean? They're also adding what seems to be a new SBC pack to the code since it was not added as a preview pack, just a normal pack code, two of them actually, an 85 to 90 rated rare player and a 85 times 10. 85 times 10 pack would be very interesting. That is in the code. I would expect that to be an SBC whether if it's today or whether it's later on during the week of footies, same thing with an 85 to 90 rated rare player. That would be a really easy SBC that EA could make that would be repeatable. Let's say they require like an 81 or at most an 82 rated squad for an 85 to 90 player. Hopefully it costs that much. And that would be something where if you have a lot of 81s or 82s, you can go put them in and get a higher rated player to help you do SBCs. I feel like that should be a repeatable SBC. Just keep an eye out for that today for maybe a part of the content as well. But I wanted to cover those things and talk about that. Again, today is footies, right? It's all about the footies cards, the cards that get re-released. Hopefully we have some sort of engagement reward packs today as well. That's been something that we've been looking forward to and talked about. And hopefully they continue to put out hype players as a part of these votes, right? When we have the votes today, again, we're expecting Carvajal to win because he is the higher rated player and those cards that they released in the vote were not loans, they were legit items. So people really are gonna go for that fodder. Now for the rest of the market today, how is the market gonna react to all the stuff going on? I honestly think if you have a team of the year messy, even though it's lower rated than this Summer Stars version, if you have a lower tier version of messy, that's not that much worse, right? A 98 messy versus a 99. I know there was a big upgrade on some of these cards, especially like Neymar, right? I do think that the whole market is gonna drop off a little bit today because if people are buying coins, if they're buying preview packs with coins, that's actually taking coins off of the market. That's kind of hard to kind of be a concept to think about, but even though your account's getting more coins, you're actually as a whole taking coins off the market. Now if people are buying the packs with fever points, that ticks the market up and puts coins on. But I do think the market's gonna drop more today. All the cards that are gonna get re-released in packs are gonna drop 100% with the supply. Now the interesting thing is SPC fodder. And I wanna talk about this. And again, as I was saying, I really feel like the fodder prices today and how these cards move on the market is 100% dependent upon how hype the content is. Because a lot of these cards, a lot of these gold cards might have special items that are going to be coming into packs and would mean their gold card is going out of packs. Remember yesterday's video, we looked at the surge nabbery? He had a special card that came into packs, which meant his gold card was no longer being packed and 84 rated absolutely flew during this time last year. So I don't know how many cards are gonna release in packs today, but what I would really look out for are some of the 83, 84, and 85 rated players that are gonna have a special item that come out in packs today. And then getting their gold card. What you could do is when they drop the list of players that is shown today, you could go look for gold cards of those players that are going to be in. Not like High Tier, like a Ronaldo, like Mbappe, or something like that. Some of those could go up, but I'd be looking more towards like, Kingsley Coman has like, he has a Tots card so that wouldn't be re-released. He won't be going out of packs tomorrow. So any of these cards that are 84s, I don't know if Tagli Fico has any special items, or like Guerrero, if they release Team of the Week card today, this Guerrero might go out of packs and he might have a Team of the Week item that is in packs, right? Or maybe a Sonny, Foot Birthday. Sonny could be a great one, right? Sonny Foot Birthday is probably gonna be out today. This guy is a max price range of 25,000 coins as an 85 rated with really good links. This might be somebody that when you see a Foot Birthday Sonny is listed as one of the cards that could be in packs today. Maybe you go Snag, a couple Leroy Sonny's, even though he's already inflated in price a little bit, I think those could be cards that do really, really well. But again, the prices of the SBC fodder today are 100% dependent upon how good the content is. And the reason I'm not talking about 86s, 87s, 88s, and 89s is because this fodder is already really low. And what I'm really scared about is with all the supply coming to the market today, there's gonna be a lot of promo cards that are going to get cheaper than these gold cards are on the market with all of that supply coming in from the preview packs. That's something that I'm kind of noticing. You already see this as a Karya as an 86 rated card is one of the cheapest 86s. You look down through this list here, are there any special cards? Jovic, we just looked at him, we talked about him, right? Jovic's card, 38K, he could very easily be down in like the mid 20K range today with a lot of supply. The brand wants to watch Laporte, man of the match, if they're gonna drop man of the matches and informs. Pepe's, what if cards, 33K on the cheaper range for an 88 rated. So I'm really worried about the high rated fodder, 86 and above because I feel like special cards could push that down. But as the stuff that's going out of packs, that's the stuff that I'm interested in the most. But again, it really depends on the content that we see today on this game. But as it goes for like Path of Glory cards, maybe Summer Stars team too, a lot of you guys I know are wanting to know and wanting to say, hey, should I buy a Chiesa now? Or should I wait? Now, these Summer Stars items are so cheap already, like this Cain's 200,000 coins. I packed Lukaku today, he's a 280K card. This guy's really good by the way, insane finisher, insane in the game. You know, I would say if there's any, I would wait to buy a couple of these Summer Stars items until what we see the content is today. Of course we know that these aren't getting re-released back in packs. But you know, you never know, EA can pull something crazy on us. Now there's a couple quick, real little bit of information here. There's a couple rumors going around about today based upon a tweet that was released by an account that has a lot of quote unquote source and information about, you know, stuff that's upcoming in the future. Sometimes the stuff is right, sometimes it's not. But the tweet reads that the team that is coming out tomorrow, it says just think of a few players that were upgradable that didn't get their full potential of an upgrade. That makes me think of like road to the final players that, you know, didn't get their potential upgrade. So as EA can remember last year in FIFA 20 how EA gave all road to the final items plus threes because of, you know, COVID delayed the games and they were, the cards were, you know, talked about and shown in the later part of the year when a lot of other high rated cards were out. So EA actually upgraded these cards like this and gave them a higher rating. So, you know, one thing I'll be looking at today is whatever kind of, I guess, interesting things EA could pull on us. Like they could update these road to the finals, give them all like plus twos and plus threes and then re-release them back into packs. That would be every interesting and that'd be something that would be new and kind of crazy. So we're going to keep an eye on some of that stuff today. That's kind of the only like thing we're really unsure about. Like if that's just nonsense being talked about or if that is legit. So I wanted to kind of say something about that before we end the video, but of course, today also marks the end of festival football. And I think we all need to give a couple of claps to EA sports for the festival of football promo with FOF path to glory cards. That was a, I think pretty well done promo. I think the number of wins, it could have been a three win threshold or two win threshold instead of a three win. More cards would have been upgraded and summer stars was great as well. High ratings, incredible booths, great SBCs. I just think that the past four weeks of content, five weeks of content with the Euros and Copa America and all of the stuff inside of FIFA has been a big W. So GGs to EA on that content and hopefully since they've set the bar up here, hopefully it just continues at that high level. And that's why again, I really am stressing it depends on the level of content today, how hype this footies promo is. So that's the video for today, boys. I know it's a bit longer, but there's a lot to talk about. I wanted to fit it all in. If you did enjoy it, smash the thumbs up on a comment down below if you have any questions and subscribe if you do. It's been Nathan Foot Accountant. I will catch you guys later. Peace.
