 Hey guys, it's Nate, A.K.A. The Foot Accountant. Welcome back to the channel. Of course, we are starting to look forward into this next promo in FIFA 22 Ultimate Team, and that is Future Stars. And today what I wanna do is take a look at some of the leaked cards and just kinda answer the question, will Future Stars be hyped? Now my obvious and my first inclination to that is obviously a yes because Future Stars is always a really, really hype promo coming after Team of the Year because we get a lot of boosted special cards of players that would really not get that many special cards or really usable meta-high rated special cards. That's the poll and that's why Future Stars is hyped. But since we have some of these leaked cards of the cards that are gonna be in Team Number One coming out tomorrow, I wanna take a look and just kinda answer that question. Since we have leaks this year and since we know a lot of stuff ahead of time before these cards are dropping on the market, we can almost prepare a little bit ahead of time in that sense for are we expecting a really hype promo day tomorrow when Future Stars does drop? We already have the swaps rewards which is a big plus for a promo like this. Of course, as we learned, people loved the Winter Wildcard Swaps Program. People are really loving this Future Stars Swaps Program as well as we now have eight tokens available and I'll talk how EA was a little bit, I guess sneaky with the ones that they released yesterday. They released three of them yesterday but one of them's hard to find. So I'll show you if you have not found that out. And then of course, team of the year is ending tomorrow, of course, and today's a big rewards day with a milestone so we'll speak on the market and kinda what's going on. EA actually dropped Lightning Rounds yesterday. Yes, Lightning Rounds on a Wednesday. We mentioned that at the end of the video yesterday and they did it. So we have some of the honorable mention cards dropping a little bit on the market because of that. So if you're hyped for Future Stars, of course, make sure you hit a thumbs up on the video and subscribe to the channel. Now let's get into it, right? Again, we talked about leaked cards already earlier this week but now we have statistics, right? And we actually have a couple new Future Star cards to look at that are gonna be in team number one coming tomorrow on this game and of course some new leaked SPC and objective cards that we could be seeing very soon. So let's dive into it. We're gonna look at a lot of cards today and this is gonna help us answer the question, is Future Star is gonna be a really high promo? Again, Belvian, Vlahovic, Smith Row, all these cards that we looked at earlier in the week are still confirmed. We have two new items that are confirmed, Joao Pedro. This is not Joao Pedro from the Serie A. I made the mistake of looking this guy up today and thinking it was gonna be him. It's actually Joao Pedro, the Watford striker. Again, these are young players, right? And then Cody Gakpo, I believe he's from the AirDivisi. So there are two new items that were not originally confirmed that now are as a part of Future Stars team one. I would imagine that there'd be 11 cards in packs if there's 14 players, 11 cards in packs and then a mini release on Sunday, right? We've come to expect that with promos in this year. Now let's look at some stats, right? Because there are some big boy stats and big boy upgrades, right? Emile Smith Row, one of the cards that is leaked to be coming out this weekend. Position change to center attacking mid, 93 pace, 91 dribbling, 87 shooting, 89 passing, 81 physicality. This kind of reminds me a little bit last year of like the Steven Bergwein card, except it's central. The Steven Bergwein last year was like a left mid. This card looks really, really good, like insanely good. And right there off the bat, I'm like, man, EA sports, you're giving out some pretty big boosts and I'm pretty juicing up these cards for this Future Stars promo. So I love the looks of that card. Now, this is gonna be a really expensive item, right? Of course, when you see this English center attack in mid primarily an exciting youngster, right? 93 pace, four star, four star, I believe. Maybe they upgraded skill moves or weak foot even more as a part of this card. This is gonna be a really, really hyped item in this game just because of the player that he is. Now, one thing that I've been talking about is will Future Stars be hyped, right? I think it really depends on the prices of this promo and as you're gonna see when we look through like this team of leagues players, right? You're gonna have a good balance in here. We're coming out of a team of the year promo where like all of your cards are over, especially for the team of the year players themselves besides Don Aruma, your next cheapest team of the year is Hakimi at 700,000 coins and most of these items are upwards of a million coins. Some three million coins like Kante and Messi and we're gonna be going back into a promo where a lot of the cards are gonna be in that lower tier range where a lot more people that don't have millions of coins on FIFA can try these new cards out and that's gonna make it more hype for the game as a whole not just for people that have a lot of coins. So that's one thing to kind of keep in mind as well but I think that the pack weight is a huge key to whether this promo really is hype or if it's just cool, right? But I think Emile Smith-Rowe is gonna be a pretty expensive card from the start. Let's keep moving through some of these leaked cards, right? Pedri is not coming out tomorrow. He is gonna be in team two but look at that freaking card, right? That looks really, really insane for a Pedri special card in this game. We'll look more at that next week but this is probably the headliner of the entire promo besides Smith-Rowe, this Jude Bellingham looks disgusting. I mean, look at that card, 93 dribbling, 91 physical, 88 passing, 88 pace as well, 88 defense. That's just a sick looking card, right? That's gonna probably be the most expensive card in this team one promo coming out tomorrow but that's a hype boost. That's a really, really good looking card right there. Now how hype am I talking, right? Is this gonna be two million coins day one, one and a half million coins? Honestly, the most expensive card that usually drops to future stars is over two mil. I believe last year and the FIFA 20 we had cards over two million coins but since the market is so much cheaper this year, I think that this card would probably settle at under two million coins. Maybe like the 1.5 to 1.75 range, depending on how rare and how packable he is, probably not gonna be that packable because he's 93 rated but that looks disgusting. Now, let's keep moving down the line, right? This one I think is very interesting. Mateus Cunha, Brazilian center attack in mid, Atletico Madrid links, Brazil links as well, right? That's pretty hype, 93 pace, 92 dribbling. He looks pretty similar to Smith-Rowe, right? When he is four star, four star, if E8 decided to upgrade his skill move a week with there, that would make him insane but like compare him to a middle Smith-Rowe and they're actually pretty similar. They're actually pretty similar, right? With similar pace, shooting passing, a little bit less passing on Cunha but that's a really dope card. I expect him to be way more affordable than Smith-Rowe would be but that's hype, right? I love the boost here on this card. Love the potential with this Cunha. Let's keep moving down the line a little bit more, right? Here's a big one. Cunate is in, of course, the lead team for tomorrow. 83 pace, 91 defense, 88 physicality, 77 dribbling. I think for me, the thing that puts this card off just a little bit is the lack of pace and the passing. 68 passing just looks bad for this point of the year. I mean, when you look at Veran, he only has 72. Yes, this is a nice green link because they're both French and in the Premier League. I think people would like to see Cunate with a little bit more pace but that's still a card that I think might be a little bit cheaper because that pace is lower but it's still a really good item and it's hype and it's got really good links. So that's gonna be a card a lot of people will want to get their hands on. Moving down the line, again, we don't have an actual image for this but Chowmini, who is in team one coming out tomorrow, a lot of people are gonna get excited about him. 84 pace, we may have already looked at this because this has been leaked for a little bit now but 84 pace, 88 dribble, 88 defense, 93 physicality. That card looks really boosted as well. Vlahovic, which is in team one, 92 overall, 90 pace, 90 dribble, 92 shooting. If they give him a four-star, four-star upgrade from his 3-3 that he currently is, that could be a really cool card. And as we keep moving down the line, we'll talk about this Tomiyasu in a second but it really just seems like for all these cards that they're gonna be putting out, they're giving them really good boosts. They're giving them really good boosts and that's how it almost always is with future stars but from these leaked stats, it kinda shows us again like from the Bellingham card that they showed. I mean he's getting plus eight physical shooting, eight passing, nine, sorry, nine physical, eight pace. He's getting plus eight dribbling and plus seven defense. That's gonna be an insane, insane card, right? From a card already with high, high work rates, four-star weak foot in the midfield with really good stats on an 84 rated inform. I mean it really looks like they're going all out with future stars again. I know some people have seen some of these leaks and they're like, man it doesn't look as insane as it maybe has in previous years but still I'm seeing these stats and these leaks and to me it really does look like it's gonna be an insane set of future stars that are coming out. Even Smith Rowe, as I said again, right, is 84 left mid. He is four-star, four-star and high, high. You're gonna make him a center attacking mid. A central card that you can obviously position change and move. He already has 91 attack positioning and 88 ball control with really high agility balance. They're upgrading that dribbling from 86 going to 91 so plus five in all the stat categories. He's gonna be almost 90 agility, almost 90 balance, maybe a little bit lower than that. His composure hopefully gets a pretty big boost on the in-game stats as well. That's for a lot of these cards that are youngsters, you kinda notice that their composure is actually a little bit lower. So really I hope that EA boosts that up on a lot of these cards. That would be huge for some of the in-game stats as well. So based off of just the cards that are coming in packs, in my opinion, I think EA is putting out some pretty big juice and it looks really good. So I'm excited for that. Now it doesn't just stop there, right? Some other stuff that is gonna be coming out is one thing we saw last year in FIFA 21 was player pick SBCs. If you guys remember, this SBC here for the, it was like Bruno Guilherme was his name. I don't even know how to say his name. He's a Brazilian midfielder, this guy, Bruno Guilhermes from Lyon. He had the center mid or the center defensive mid player pick and we also had the Curtis Jones, right? We had the left mid or center mid Curtis Jones as a part of last year's promo. It looks like we're getting something like that again and since this was one of the first leaks that came out about Future Stars, this might be an SBC that we see tomorrow and Friday. Might be one of our first SBCs or it could be a little bit later on down the line. A player pick between Tomiyasu, right back or center back. The right back version with less defense and physical but more pace, better passing and dribbling. The center back card, I mean, that looks really good. I know, of course, Arsenal links but besides the Premier League links, not the best by nation for linking and squads but that card looks insane. I think the stats might be predicted though. Yes, stats are a prediction so we'll have to see what the card is when it comes out but I like the player pick aspect of this, right? Really, I do, it depends on the price on whether this is gonna be sick or not and the stats but I like that they're bringing that back as a part of Future Stars. Another thing, we've been talking about this on the streams as well, they're bringing back the Academy objective players and one thing that they always push during Future Stars is gameplay, right? Because you're coming out of Team of the Year, some people have absolutely drained their accounts trying to pack cards and they really kind of push gameplay objectives and this is one of the ways they do it with the Future Stars Academy players. Chaloba is confirmed to be one of the cards that we'll get and I imagine that this Chaloba will drop tomorrow with the start of this promo. If not tomorrow, maybe on Saturday or Sunday we'll have to see but they did this last year with Renier Jesus from Dortmund. Do you guys remember that? So that is confirmed to be happening again as well which is a big dub, right? That's always one thing at Future Stars that we always look out for. So it looks like Future Stars is gonna contain things that it almost does every year, right? Cool cards and packs with upgrades that are insane, really good stats, SBCs with player pick options and the objective cards, right? That's a dub. That is a tremendous W for Future Stars and with the way that it looks right now, in my opinion, I really think Future Stars is gonna be very, very hype and I'm excited to see how EA does this and as we get closer to the promo and as we get into the promo, how this plays out. I think the pack weight and all the other content of course plays a factor but it looks like it's going to be a tremendous promo for Future Stars and I think that it is gonna be hype. So that's just kind of my take and I wanted to take you through some of those lead card stats because of course that is out there. It's affecting the market because like for the Chow Manny card, right? You're already seeing people start to prepare by selling other League One midfielders that are maybe in that kind of upper tier price range. Like Seco Fulfaana of course was like 900,000 coins. He is now down to like 830,000. He was 800K flat at one point and he's bounced back a bit. So you've already started to see people sell off some cards because of items that are coming in this game. So that's just kind of some stuff to watch out for but I think Future Stars is gonna be a dub and I really think that it's gonna appeal to the more mass casual user base and the whole game of FIFA not just the upper echelon with the most expensive players of team of the year. So that's just kind of something to keep an eye on and of course we have the swaps, right? We have the Future Stars swaps tokens that are out that everybody loves to engage with as well. With all those things going on I think it's gonna be a hype promo. I really, really do and that's just gonna keep this game moving and keep people interested in the game which is exactly what EA wants. Now let's move and talk about the current market again with the rewards today and team of the year ending and we gotta start with these Future Stars swaps tokens because EA released three of them yesterday. Yes, three of these swap tokens. The first one was available through a team of the year challenge, SBC which is a W in its own, right? It's a bit expensive because make sure you check your club by the way for rare bronzes and silvers. They are flying because of this SBC. You get a swap token and a mega pack. It's a W because you get a mega pack. It's a bit of an L because it's expensive but that was token number one. Token number two was released through an 84 plus player pick SBC. If I can find it yet right here 84 plus player pick SBC that gave you a token as well. A lot of people were doing that yesterday but the third one is the tricky one and EA's being a little sneaky here with this. It's under the milestones tab. I auto-claimed a gold pack. Okay, very nice. Thank you EA. Under the milestones tab, you're going to see that there is a new Silver Stars and EA does not do a very good job of telling you what's going on in here but if you go into this, if it actually loads for me and I can see if it gives a white who is a Silver Stars player, I don't know what it is. There it goes. It takes forever to load these sometimes. If you press X or square to compare, you see that there is a Future Stars swap token available through Silver Stars. So I know a lot of you guys don't like to play Silver Stars. Some of you guys do. I usually don't but this week you have an incentive to play a few games in Silver Stars, get this item and get the token as well as under the year in review objective there's one hiding in here too. So that was released a couple of days ago. This one was released yesterday but EA is releasing a lot of these tokens and they're already getting people prepared for Future Stars with these tokens and what's going on right now with this kind of token project swaps rewards and all of that stuff. So make sure you didn't miss those because I know a lot of people were not finding those three tokens yesterday because they were very hard to find. Now again, with that player pick that was out yesterday, a lot of the market was moving but what also caused market movement yesterday was the fact that EA Sports released lightning rounds and we talked about it at the end of the video yesterday with team of the year at the end of its promotion, EA was like, okay, it's a Wednesday, new team of the week is out, even though the team of the week is not good at all, EA said, we're gonna full send some packs, right? They said we're gonna full send some packs and they put out lightning rounds yesterday, some of these extra plus packs were in the store, maybe like for a last chance for some people that hadn't spent FIFA points or during the weekend or had a few more FIFA points that were trying to pack a team of the year at their last chance to go ahead and do that. So you saw some prices on the market drop yesterday, specifically on the honorable mentions, they didn't really drop a lot though and I've been watching some of the cards this evening into today on Thursday and with the milestone rewards, of course, we're keeping a sharp eye on these items. With Future Stars on the horizon, I think it's just gonna be a select few, honestly, a select few of these honorable mentions that will do really, really well in the market. A lot of people want to buy these for their team but also a lot of people want to invest in them. So I'm being very careful with these cards with a really hyped promo of Future Stars right around the corner. I'm being very careful, right? So that's kind of my take on these right now. I think some of them might rise today after rewards. I think the market might rise a decent amount today after rewards, especially in terms of SBC fodder because with those lightning rounds yesterday, a lot of fodder actually dropped in price from that supply and if we take a look at some prices right now and maybe some of the graphs here, let's look at the index to 86, you can see that this stuff dropped off, right? From 100 and almost 140 points on the index down to 117 kind of rising back up now, fodder dropped off a decent amount. I mean, you 88 ratings were like 33 or 34,000 coins. Now, Ramos is back up to 29K as people recognize this drop off was too big. He was 35K, he was all the way down at like 28,000 coins and is now starting to rise back up a little bit. I think today with most of the milestone rewards and division rivals rewards packs being untradable, because most people take untradable, not everybody, but most people do, is specifically with the milestone rewards being untradable, people are gonna pack some higher rated fodder players, 85s, 86, 87s, people are gonna be packing those items and that's gonna make them go out and finish some more SBCs, whether it's a mid icon upgrade, whether it's maybe the Varan flashback. I think that's, today is gonna be a day where a lot of people are waiting for these packs to go out and finish some SBCs that they maybe have been wanting to do during this team of the year period. So, I would watch out for fodder to be rising and maybe some of the market in general as people are just kinda waiting to buy teams for the season rewards today, especially the team of the year and the honorable mention prices. It's a tough spot with team of the years. I mean, if you think that Future Stars is gonna really drop the market this weekend, then you might not wanna put your coins into a card like Kante when you have a big center defensive mid crew like a big midfielder crew of Chow Mani coming and a Pedri card coming next week and a Graven birch coming next week, a Bellingham card coming. Those are like a lot of center mid items that might hurt the center mid market. You know what I'm saying? So, Kante is still so elite compared to some of those items that will be coming out, but with more options coming on the game, people always love the brand new and the hottest, newest items on the market. So, I would just be careful with some of these team of the year cards. If the content comes out tomorrow on Friday and it's not hype at all, then you might see some of these team of the year and honorable mentions cards rebound back higher in price on the market, but that's just kind of something to keep an eye on today and in the next two or three days in this game. And we'll talk about that a little bit more in tomorrow's video that if the content for Future Stars does a little bit underwhelm people on this game, then I think you will see these honorable mentions bounce back even more as we've seen in the past, but I really just don't feel like Future Stars is going to underwhelm. I feel like it is gonna be a W promo, I think it's gonna be hype just because it always is, right? Since it first came out in FIFA 19, it has been a W promo and I think that's not going to change this year. So, let's talk about Thursday content though for today, just a little bit more. We've had good content this week. We really have, right? With the swap tokens, we've had two days in a row with the year in review SBC two days ago and then yesterday with the 84 plus, they're dropping these gamble SBCs, right? They're dropping these kind of like gamble go out and hopefully pack something sick SBCs and everybody loves those. So, I wonder if we get one more today. Today, Thursday, the last day of team of the year, how is EA gonna end this thing? Are they gonna end it with a bang? Or are they gonna end it kind of quiet? I doubt they would really end it super duper quiet. The Danny Omelette yesterday was just not that good. The work rates weren't adjusted, not enough pace. A decent card if you love Leipzig or if you're a Danny Omelette fan, very interesting links, but just not that great in my opinion. Now, one thing that EA actually tweeted out and this relates to Future Stars, I wanna talk to you about this for a moment here, is the talent scout. I think we maybe showed this in yesterday's video. They showed a vote between Brazil, Germany and Spain. Brazil won the vote. They tweeted out yesterday and they said, our talent scout, which position should they key in on? Striker or right midfielder? And a lot of people are choosing striker, right? So we're gonna get a Brazilian striker, SBC, as chosen by the community. Sometime on this first weekend, I would expect it to be on Saturday. So I was kinda looking through some cards. It's really not obvious who they might choose for this. I'm really curious to see who they might choose, whether they take somebody that's a right or left wing and position them as a striker, or take somebody that already is a striker and give them a card. I don't know what's gonna happen, but this is kinda nice that they're giving some community vote into this decision as well for somebody's card. So I just kinda like that. It's kinda cool. And that's part of the content from yesterday as well. So I wanted to shout that out there a little bit today. But personally, for me, I'm still on this team of the year packing grind and we're still trying so hard to get team of the years. I packed three honorable mentions, got Mendy back again, third time packing him. I packed Benzema yesterday from the 82 times 25, turned him in for the Veron SBC, and I also packed Jonathan David. But no team of the year, as you can see, the counter is still at two. We're gonna make one final send over the next day and a half to hopefully get ourselves another team of the year through some of these upgrade packs. But of course, time is of the essence and that time is soon gonna be ending with team of the year cards going out of packs. So again, I just wanna take this chance today and talk about Future Stars because leading into a big promo like this one, am I expecting a big market drop? Not really. It just depends. It just really, really depends because a lot of people have coins, but also on the other hand, some people are broke right now and we'll talk about that a little bit more tomorrow, kind of market related, how I think things will happen on Friday with the promo, especially after we get the content today and see what's going on. But that's kind of my take in my opinion on Future Stars and I think it's gonna be hype. It is every single year, EA looks like they're gonna deliver again this year with some big time stat upgrades, some good choices and position changes, hopefully some skill move and week foot upgrades, accompany those stat boosts and hopefully the content SBCs and stuff is pretty good because Future Stars always delivers. I don't think it's gonna disappoint this year as well. So if you enjoyed the video today, make sure to smash the thumbs up on it, comment down below if you have any questions and subscribe if you're new. It's been Nathan Ford Accountant. I will catch you guys later. Peace out.
