 Hey guys, it's Nate, AKA The Foot Accountant. Welcome back to the channel. We're starting off the video today with just a quick overview of the new gameplay patch that was added called the title update number two. They released just last night and I wanna talk about this really quick. I know we don't talk a lot about gameplay stuff in this channel, but I'd like to keep you guys informed to whatever degree I can. And I wanna kinda make a few comments about this patch and what people have been saying about the gameplay and how it has changed. So one of the points they make in here, you guys can read this on your own if you want to. It's all over the game. Obviously when you log in and stuff like that, basically what they did was they increased the responsiveness of dribbling and they also improved shooting. It increased the effectiveness of easy shots taken inside of the box from 45 feet, 15 yards and closer to the target. So it looks like, and it says below, these shots are more likely to be on goal and not hit the post or miss the goal. So I remember hearing a lot of people explaining that they hit the post a lot inside the box with a finesse shot or whatever that may be. So, and then below that it says the target is the exact location of where the ball is expected to go, determined through a mixture of directional input and the shooting assist setting. So maybe we have to start messing with that shooting assist setting a little bit more and trying that, maybe trying it on like, I think there's three different modes, like a heavy assist, like a middle assist and like no assist. And maybe we have to kinda mess with that to figure out which one is the best. But shots taken from very small angles are likely more, are more likely to be on goal. So that is kind of interesting as well. Maybe there'll be some like near post short angles that will be really, really OP. But basically this update says that it says that it's going to increase the responsiveness of dribbling and also increase the responsiveness of shooting inside the box. It says the effectiveness of the dribbling improvement will scale based on the average rating with the least improvement being felt at 80 and the most improvement being felt at 99. So interesting. So that means the high dribbling players in this game will feel a little bit better. Reduce the maximum time a player can sit at kickoff from 30 seconds at 15. I like that. Increase the speed of goal kick pass animations. Okay, all right. Green time shots are no less impacted by air. Okay, green time shots are more effective. Maybe we will actually see shot timing be more important now in the game because before, at least earlier parts this year, not many people would green time shots because it really just wasn't that worth it. So it was a big patch, a lot of notes. But from what I'm hearing, most of the stuff, what is this foot here? It says the squad conflict SBC pop-up was not considering all the okay on pitch visuals or sometimes overlapping, okay. Sometimes manager items were listed as having zero negotiations. I saw that live on a stream a couple days back. Interesting, okay, so it doesn't look like too much was messed up there. Once-watch player item design was cut off, displaying okay, whatever, updates, okay, sweet. So that is kind of the updates right there. And again, the gameplay updates is what we're most worried about with these. We really don't even read the rest, right? Okay, they included some star heads, nice, GGs. But we kind of just read the foot improvements and that's kind of how we go with those patches. But from what I've seen on Twitter today and from what I read in that patch right there, they increased the shooting inside the box which people are saying that the power and the accuracy is definitely better. People are also saying that dribbling is a little bit better as well. But the rest of the game just kind of feels the same in a sense, it's still really slow. Defending is OP, holding the ball around the back, waiting for a chance to go forward is still kind of the way that people are playing so far in this new patch. But you know what's gonna take a little bit before we figure out what exactly this patch is gonna feel like. It's gonna take a weekend league, it's gonna take division rivals throughout the week next week to really feel like we have a number on what is new through this. So if you're playing champs this weekend, good luck. Maybe try out some new things. And again, don't just feel like you're, don't just feel like you have to play that the game that works, right? Don't play the slow gameplay that works if that's the only thing that you can do on this game. Branch out, try different things, play in different ways and you should be able to have more fun doing that as well. So that would be my challenge and my advice to you guys. If you're playing this weekend is to watch some of that stuff. But that's enough of the gameplay talk which we don't usually talk about on this channel. But I wanted to fill you guys in on a few of those things as you may have seen. Let's talk about the market. So weekend league rewards, when this video drops is going to be, they're gonna be like right after this video. I have 300,000 coins left. I will show you guys right now what I have invested in today for weekend league rewards. And it's all based on kind of one player, I'm gonna be honest. I have got a lot of Raheem Sterling. I got a lot of these left wing cards for around 160 to 165,000 coins. I think I bought the one with the Hunter for 170, but I should very easily be able to sell that. And then this team of your nominee card, I bought these at 120K. I feel like the links to Deli Alley will be good this week. And of course, Prem is king every single week in this game, right? So primarily stuff goes up every week. This Raheem Sterling went up last week. I flipped this one last week as well. I think I have two Mahrez's here for like 50 something. And I snagged to Gabriel J. Zeus as well, 55 and 56K. So I'm kind of actually interested in maybe picking up another one of those just in case. Are there any more Gabriel J. Zeus is out here? If I could actually type in his name, 60 less than 60K is really what I'm looking for. I don't wanna pay much more than like 58, to be honest. I probably won't pay much more than that. 58,000 coins at the moment. Maybe I'll snag a few more on bid if that is possible. But I could easily see this guy being somewhere around kind of the range of, especially with the Hunter. I mean, the one with the Hunter Kemp style, man, that could easily be selling for like 75K. Later this weekend, there's a 56. I'm gonna leave that and see if it gets undercut. But that's another short thing to notice. If you guys are watching this video right before week in the rewards, make sure if you're looking for some last minute buys that you really, really pay attention to the Kemp styles, right? Gabriel J. Zeus with a Hunter Kemp style sells for 64, which is like four or five K more than his lowest buy it now. But I guarantee you this goes up a decent amount tomorrow because the Hunter Kemp styles and the Shadow Kemp styles on Thursday flips are massive, especially for in forms out of packs. So just keep an eye on those. If that's something you're doing to flip this week, pay the extra couple thousand coins for the Hunter or for the Shadow Kemp style, because if it's on a really OP and a really popular player, that could actually pay out really, really well for you. And it could net you some extra profit on the end. Paying one or two K more, if you find an undercut on a Gabriel J. Zeus like this for the Shadow or Hunter card on that actual card item could net you an extra five, six, seven thousand coins on the Week in League when people are really, really looking to buy cards with the Kemp styles to put in their squad. So again, if you're looking for any last minute Week in League buys, look at out of packs in forms, of course, as we always do. This week we did get a new team of the week. Actually today we got a new team of the week. I wanna talk about this. There are definitely some things here we need to talk about regarding some of these guys that got in. This card right now, Halland, ooh, he's not extinct. He has been extinct. Okay, he is extinct still. 290,000 coins for this card right here. He looks mental, right? He's got the three star, three star, six foot four high medium. And I think a lot of people were imagining this card would be expensive. If you're wanting to buy this card, I would just honestly tell you to wait. We're gonna have more lighting rounds this weekend. This card's gonna be suspect to some of those. So I would say be very careful and wait for that to happen a little bit more this weekend. And just wait to see how the reviews come out on this card as well. If it's something that you want for your squad, I would definitely wait though. But he's kind of like one of the two highlights of the team of the week. Of course Mbappe getting in as well is huge. This card's sitting right now at like 2.6 mil, probably gonna get packed a little bit. It's gonna have Week in League rewards in a bit. And also this weekend, it's going to have lighting rounds again. For this whole team of the week, they will be suspect to lighting rounds. And it's a solid team of the week, right? I would say like maybe a seven out of 10. We have two big names. We have Van Dyke, we have Mbappe. So that's nice. We have a really cool card with Hollande. And then the rest is just, it's just all right. Upamakana was nice for an OP 81 rated center back. He's 20,000 coins. And then some of these guys are just gonna be, they're just gonna stay really cheap. Some of these guys are gonna stay really cheap because they're just SPC fodder kind of guys, unfortunately for them. Kind of like Kanalis is 37,000 coins at the moment. That's gonna be an SPC goat. Tiago is interesting. He did get above 70 paced. He's got 71 paced, 88 rated. But I don't see a ton of this week's team of the week getting into a lot of people's teams. But you know that Hollande is probably gonna be investable out of packs. I would say even Casamiro, Upamakana, some of those guys could definitely be investable out of packs. So we'll be watching those cards this weekend for sure. And depending on what info we get for the headliner promo because the first set of headliners is only in packs for another day basically. So it's in packs until 6 p.m. on Friday. And then after that those cards will be gone. We will have a set two of headliners which will probably not be as good as the first set. But the real question is how long is that second set going to last? How long is that second set of headliners going to last? Is it going to be similar to what they did with Road to the Final cards? Where they had those Road to the Final, the second set of Road to the Final cards were only out for like three days in packs. So people are like, yo, these cards are gonna be very rare, which they were. Or are they gonna make them available for an entire week like the screen promo? So we've had two already this year, this cycle of FIFA. We've had two promos so far with two two week promos. This is our third one right here. The first one of course, Road to the Final, those cards were impacts the first set for a week. And then the second set was impacts for like three days as I said. I'm really curious to see what they do with some of these cards and what they do with the second set. Because I'm honestly just not so sure what they can do to make this promo like that much better. They've been releasing incredible content so far. The SBCs, all that stuff has been crazy. It's been awesome. I just don't know how they can go up from here in this next week. I do think the player selection will be not as quality. I mean, I've mentioned that before in a couple of videos, but I just don't know how we can top these players. Telez, Lewa, Neymar, Merton, Salah, like there's, I don't think there's literally any way that we can top some of these players. So that's gonna be very interesting to note as well. Now I talked to you guys about buying these players possibly today, before rewards as I'm recording this. A little bit earlier today, they were lower, right? In the middle of the day, I saw Neymar was around four point. He was under four one for a smidge. Lewa was like 790 a little bit. Telez was actually 230 and a little bit below at a point. Walker was 390 at one point. Nine golems under 500. So a lot of these guys are kind of just chilling in their same range again. So, and like I said, I don't really see a huge downturn in these cards. After rewards, you might be watching this video after rewards and kind of comparing what their prices are now in this video to what they actually are on the market at the time you're watching. That could be an interesting thing to look at. But I think some of the higher tier guys, and I think all of them, they could take, maybe a 5% hit at most, 5 to 10% hit at most for some of the lower cards. Maybe like you see Samson's popping up at like 24, 25K, that would be a buy price for me. You might see Vardy drop off a little bit because Vardy was panic sold today, because in real life Lester played and he sustained an injury. Now I'm not entirely sure how bad the injury is, but he was subbed off and it didn't look too good. So, Jamie Vardy right now is 145,000 coins. And you know, this is something that I tweeted out today. If you see that he is actually not that hurt and maybe he's out for a week, right? That wouldn't be too bad because then he would come right back in, he would have a chance to play again and Lester is still, I think, on a win streak right now because they did win today, I believe. I might have to go ahead and check that here in a second. Let's actually check that right now. But I think Lester played today and they did win. They did, they won four to one. So, I don't know if they're really on a streak right now. Let me check. Is Lester on a streak right now? Lester is on a two game, oh no they're not, they're on a one game win streak. They lost to Burnley on Sunday, yeah. Okay, so they're on a one game win streak right now. So, Lester is on a one game win streak. If Vardy is actually not gonna be out for that long, then you might not see this card drop that much, but if it does continue to drop, that could be an investment, right? Because this is like the only headliner card that has really dropped a bunch since it's come out and as because of his injury. So, if you start seeing reports on Twitter that Vardy is only gonna be out for a week or less or it was just like a pull and he's gonna be able to be fine, maybe try to pick up one or two of these guys under 140 if you can during rewards, depending on how low his price gets. But if you see that he actually is injured and that he's going to be missing some time more than a couple weeks, then I would be very, very careful with this card. It still could be an investment if Lester continued to win. I don't really know what their schedule looks like to be honest, but it looks like they play FA Cup and then after that I'm not entirely sure I don't know how to see a head right here for what I'm looking at. It looks like they don't play Prem for a little while. It doesn't look like they play any Prem games for a little while, but okay yeah, there's 29th there's Prem games as well. So on the first February 1st, Lester played Chelsea, interesting. So that's gonna be something to watch. Just watch his card price because I think it's gonna fluctuate a decent amount with him being injured. And of course people are thinking that Lester would have a decent shout at getting four wins in a row because they've been playing pretty well. So just keep an eye on that one. That one is one that I'm interested in now since he did have the drop. I think that is intriguing. But if obviously if he's not healthy then you probably don't wanna mess with it too much. So again, what is coming this weekend? I wanna quickly talk about a few things we could see today on Thursday. We're probably gonna see another player SBC because they have been super consistent and super on the ball with the player SBCs. I need to talk about Delhi Ali as well because it's kind of funny, right? Delhi Ali gets an SBC today at 6 p.m. UK. Tottenham play right after that. Tottenham win and Delhi Ali scores the first goal. And I don't know, was he man of the match? Delhi Ali was not man of the match. Actually Serge Aurier was man of the match. So I don't think Delhi would get an end form for his performance today, even though it was a league play. But maybe on the weekend, if Tottenham do play again on the weekend, let me check. If Tottenham do play on the weekend, which it looks like they do. Wow, they play City. They play Manchester City on the 2nd of February, this upcoming weekend, I think, or no, it's a week away. It's about a week away, yeah. So they play City next weekend. So there is actually a week break, nevermind. There is actually a little bit of a week break for these guys, they had mid-week games today. So February 2nd will be the next time that City and Tottenham play. They're both on one games winning streaks right now, I think, for the headliner cards. So that would be interesting. But I'm probably gonna be doing this SBC because I'm a Tottenham fan and because this Deli Ali would slot right into my squad. Who would he go in for? I don't really know, we'll have to figure that out. But I do think that I might do him just because I'm a Tottenham fan. Do I think Tottenham are gonna string four in a row? I don't think that it's likely. Is this SBC actually worth it? I'm honestly gonna say I don't think this SBC is that worth it. Right now I'm flipping, it says it's 120,000 coins. Unless you're doing upgrade packs, unless you're doing these 81 plus upgrade packs, then I would not go after it because I really don't think he's gonna, maybe he gets one more inform that bumps him to 79 pace. But you know, when you compare this to his Scream card, it's just not as good as what the Scream card is. And I'm sure you guys have done this, but the Scream card's 100 and I think 70K at the moment. This SBC is 120-ish. And the difference in the stats is really massive, right? The pace is lower, the shot and the passing is lower and the dribbling. But the defense and the physical, if you're gonna play this guy box-to-box, which I feel like for FIFA's sake, he is a box-to-box midfielder, then you might be cutting yourself short if you're not using the Scream item. Just throw like a catalyst on him for the Scream and then you'll get the pace and the passing boost that this card has. So again, the massive, massive defensive boost really, really makes this card good with the Scream version, which people say the Scream deli alley is very, very good. So I would say in my opinion that this is actually, I think out of all the SBCs we've gotten this promo, this one might be like one of the worst, to be honest. This one could be one of the least best value, if I can use that term, the least best value SBC that we've gotten so far, this promo, just saying right there, just not the best. All the other ones have been really solid in my opinion. This one, kind of on the edge, even though it is a live item, but it's cool. Thank you EA Sports, we appreciate it. It's daily content, right? Not all the time what we want, but we're getting content daily, which is awesome. And then again, we are one day away, if you're watching this on Thursday, we are one day away from possibly getting player of the month, Benyeter. I have heard a couple people mention that it could be on Monday instead of Friday, but I still do not think that that changes what the price of this card would be. Of course, this SBC expires on Friday, so definitely watch a little bit on that. Some of you guys were also asking one last thing I wanna check on this video. Some of you guys were asking about high-rated golds. They're still inflated, that is the truth, and that's what's going on. Now, weak and the rewards always brings an interesting dynamic, right? Sometimes for weak and the rewards, they seem to supply the high-rated like crazy. Everybody packs 84s, 85s, 86s, and sometimes they don't. I'm curious to see if they do that this week with some of these cards, because these cards are still very high. We have a lot of SBCs out, and I think EA wants to keep these cards up and evident by what they've done so far in this promo. So if you see any open bid deals during or after rewards, that could be a shout for maybe getting a quick flip on SBC Fodder, if you'd like to trade with that, because there will be some supply put onto the market for these SBCs, SBC Fodder cards with weak and the rewards. But again, today was just an okay day of content, man, to be honest. We got the patch, which was okay. We got Deliale, which was nice just to get an SBC, and I think we got a headliner's challenge as well for a jumbo gold pack, which isn't anything insane, but it is what it is. Thursday, I would expect a decent SBC around Thursday. There was one more leak that we have not actually seen come to fruition yet, and that was Lottaro Martinez. Supposedly we were getting a Lottaro Martinez headliner card. That would be very interesting if we do get that card. I'd be kind of excited actually. It'd be a really good looking card. They could give him 90 physical, which would be insane, but we will see if that SBC comes because it was originally leaked with the Deliale. Maybe Lottaro Martinez was part of the next week promo as well, and we'll talk about more stuff for the Friday week two of headliners. We'll talk about that promo on tomorrow's video and stuff like that. So if you enjoyed this video today, make sure to smash the thumbs up on it. Comment down below if you have any questions, and of course, subscribe to the channel if you are new. Good luck in your week and the rewards, and I'll see you guys later. It's been Nathan Footed Count, catch you guys later. Peace, out.
