 Hey guys, it's Nate, AKA The Foot Accountant. Welcome back to the channel. This is the first FIFA 21 video that we're gonna have and this starts the new year for us with the new version of FIFA Ultimate Team, going through the trades, going through the market, going through the building of your Ultimate Team from scratch to where we just ended after a team in the season, summer heat and fantastic pre-season promos that gave us a lot of sick cards, a lot of dope SBC content and a lot of awesome stuff inside of FIFA Ultimate Team. We started all again in about three weeks with FIFA 21. And again, what we're covering today is some stuff that EA dropped yesterday on their Twitter. We're gonna be talking about the new FIFA 21 ratings. I haven't been actually putting out FIFA 21 content because a lot of the stuff that we're gonna talk about depends on the cards that they're gonna be putting in the game. So we got some information on those cards today. So I'm here to talk with you about FIFA 21 and what we're gonna be seeing in the next couple of days, what we can learn from these ratings and what that means for us going forward in terms of FIFA 21 preparation, getting our minds right for what kind of trading methods we're gonna be looking at in the next couple of weeks with the web app dropping, with the EA access, how to best use your 10 hours, ones to watch, investments and all that sort of stuff in the next three to four week timeframe. There's a lot of stuff going on. We're gonna cover it all here. So stay tuned for that, of course, in the future. But again, this is what we're talking about today because EA Sports dropped this promo video today. They said Thursday and they actually used the wrong date in their tweet. What's new? Starting off FIFA 21 on a great note and error from EA Sports. But this is the kind of promo video that they dropped today, showing Holland, Trent Alexander-Arnold and Gio Felix as the main three kind of cover stars on FIFA 21. We've been seeing them a lot. But this is the interesting thing, right? They actually showed some ratings in this video that actually were kind of teased, right? I'm gonna try to stop it on the first one here. There was Teo Hernandez, Odegaard, Steven Burgwein, Rodrigo, Phil Foden and Mason Mount, I think were the cards that were actually shown. So part of their ratings were actually leaked in this video. Their overall ratings and some of their individual stats were leaked in this little promo video by EA Sports. And a couple of things I want to talk about from this video, before we get on to the rest of this, they're actually like making a promo and they're actually naming this ratings reveal. Last year they just called it the ratings reveal and that's kind of what it's always been called. But this year it's called the ratings collective and they actually have like a logo, they have like a promo video that they've already tweeted out ahead of the Thursday release and they're just putting a lot of extra effort into the marketing side of things. They've been doing that a lot with FIFA 21 so far, but I find it interesting that we have all of this ratings collective set up for the ratings release. Now that also makes me think, could it be different this year than in the prior years because they're starting this rating reveal pretty early. Usually we don't get the ratings reveal just a couple of weeks before. Then we have a little bit of time to look at the, you know, the databases on Footbin, on Foothead and on FootWiz before we, you know, start to get into the web app and stuff. But we're gonna have plenty and plenty of time to be looking at cards in the database if they release it like normal. So I'm wondering if we might not see the players getting released in batches of 20 like we have seen in the previous years, you know, like 100 to 81, 80 to 61 and then down like that. I think what we might actually see is something a little bit different. So we'll stay tuned, of course, or PMUK on Thursday the 10th, all right? Don't believe this tweet. It is the 10th of September, not the 17th. That is when we're gonna be getting information on FIFA 21 ratings. So stay tuned to that. Of course, I'll be covering here as it does come out on the channel. This is a quick graphic put together of some of the cards that were leaked in, or not leaked, but shown in that promo video today. This is by Simon Design. I'll leave a link to this tweet in the description as well. Great graphic put together by him. One little thing I do wanna note is that Dest is an American, not a Dutch. But again, a Bergwine going to an 83, Rodrigo's 79, Mason Mow is an 80 and Dest is a 77. I believe there were three other cards that were shown in that video as well. That was OdaGuard, OdaGuard, and then we also had Theo Hernandez, and I forget the last one, Phil Foden, again. But those were all the cards that were shown and their ratings were actually shown in that video. So we know what is coming ahead this year. Now speaking of ratings, right? This has got a lot of people thinking about, okay, Bergwine's an 83, Rodrigo's a 79. Is there any website? A lot of people use Sofifa.com to look at ratings and what they think ratings are gonna be for some of those top tier players, Ronaldo, Messi, Lewandowski, kind of like the top three players people are envisioning this year to be the highest rated in FIFA 21. I wanna go to Sofifa.com and show you that we might not actually be able to use this website just yet to confirm FIFA Ultimate Team ratings because, as of course confirmed in the video today, Steven Bergwine is an 83 rated card. According to Sofifa, he's still an 82. Let's check this theory once again with Mason Mount. So of course, in the video that was released today or yesterday, Mason Mount was an 80 rated, he's 79 here. So I find it's kinda interesting that the ratings on Sofifa.com don't exactly match up yet to the ratings that are going to be used in FIFA Ultimate Team according to this video that they put out today. So that is one thing that I kinda find sorta interesting. You can't always rely on the Sofifa website. I'm guessing the Sofifa website becomes a lot more reliable and a lot more usable once we actually get the full database in the game and then maybe be somehow linked together or match up somehow. I'm not entirely sure, but this is a website a lot of people usually go for their ratings and stuff. I just wanna kinda give you a word of caution. Those might not be exactly, they'll be very close, but they might not be exact. Let me check Desk as well. Yeah, he's a 72. Wow, 72 according to Sofifa, but he's actually gonna be a 77 in FIFA. So that's pretty crazy to be honest that we have that big of a difference. But again, with the ratings coming out this week, this is big because this means the start of players being released, we're gonna be knowing statistics and players, what players are gonna be overpowered, what players are gonna be more expensive, transferred cards, what are their ratings gonna be? That's a big point for a lot of people. Of course, Timo Werner going to Chelsea. He's gotten a lot, a lot of special cards. In the past few years, are we going to see Werner's base item be higher than 86 this year? I mean, with all the player of the months that he had last year, two of them, he had a headliners card, multiple informs, man of the matches. I would expect to see a nice little 87 or maybe even an 88, Timo Werner. A lot of times when players transfer to the prem, they do get a little bit of a ratings boost, especially if they're a lower tier player, because it kind of, you know, there's actually a little bit of added hype for some of those cards. So, just something to kind of think about as we were looking through the ratings, maybe start to think, hey, what kind of cards could be in that top 50 or top 100 in terms of ratings this year in FIFA Ultimate Team and hopefully we get some more information on that very, very soon. This is the other stuff that I wanna talk about, right? Of course, since FIFA 21 is coming out, I just kind of wanna reiterate what is gonna be going on on this channel here, right? You're watching The Foot Account. You maybe have watched me for a year, two years I started doing this in FIFA 19. Right around this time I started making trading and videos just analyzing FIFA 20 and the game. And that is what I love doing the most is analyzing the game regarding the market movements, what stuff goes up, what makes things go down on the market, why is EA releasing content, what is it gonna do to affect people's clubs, what SBCs are gonna come out, objectives, or what other content is gonna be coming out that will create market movements and also create people or motivate people to do certain things inside of the game. That is what I enjoy doing the most. And again, that's gonna happen this year. You're gonna see me doing that a lot this year. And again, I wanna go over a few things that we're gonna be touching just on a high level today, what we're gonna be touching in the next few weeks. Foot co-op, there's a lot of interesting things that people aren't talking about in terms of co-op, in terms of what that's gonna mean for objectives, in terms of rivals and even squad battles. What is that gonna mean for that kind of stuff? There's some stuff we're gonna talk about with that with foot events. This is gonna be very, very interesting this year. This is gonna affect the market a lot. It's basically another objective tool that is going to cause market movements because I could absolutely see them, team events. There might be some requirements in here where you have to play with a certain squad with certain players in it, and that's of course gonna drive market movements because people have to buy up a card to play with. If you have to have a French striker to play with team in Bapé versus team, you know, Griezmann, and then you'll have, you have to play with like a La Liga striker or team Griezmann. You know, you might see some market movements because of things like that related to team events, just something to be aware of. And then of course, this is one little tip that I wanna give you guys right away that not a lot of people are talking about, right? Foot Stadium, which actually isn't talked about in this article right here, but Foot Stadium this year, and especially with all of those stadium items being put into packs, is going to change the market in terms of chemistry styles. And that's something I'm gonna talk intensively about in a future video, is I don't think chemistry style trading could be, now again, this is a could be because we don't know the pack weight, we don't know exactly what is going on with that yet in FIFA 21. But if we head over here quickly to FIFA 20, I just wanna show you that this year was a crazy year for the shadow and for the hunter chemistry styles. At certain points during the year when there were price range updates, these cards were selling for 20 to 25,000 coins a piece on the market. And EA just had the pack weight wrong this year with these chem styles for whatever reason, and they really just milked it by upping the price ranges instead of upping the pack weight. But since there are different items in packs now and in some of the pitch notes that they produced, they said that chemistry styles are going to see an increased drop rate in packs. So since shadow and hunter chemistry style was so great and so well known of a trading method last year, will it still work this year? I think it will, but it might not be as effective. We're gonna talk extensively about that in the next couple of weeks with some of these FIFA 21 videos as well. But again, the big thing that we have to talk about for right now is the ratings and the ratings collective especially and what is going on with this stuff right here. So again, Thursday, 4pm UK time, which is kind of early, two hours before the content drop, the rating collective, we will see some content related to this. And you know what, to be honest with you, I feel like they're kind of gonna milk at a decent amount. And I would not expect to get a ton of information on Thursday, just a little bit, right? That's what EA likes to do. They like to stretch it out, they like to kind of tease you and then finally give you enough information after a certain amount of time and just make it better over time, right? The content is just good here, but then as time goes on, the content gets a little bit greater and they drop more stuff, more information and things like that. So that's kind of all this video is related about today. There's a lot of stuff upcoming, but this really is the start of FIFA 21 for me because once we start to see the players, we can start to put the pieces together. This person is probably gonna be in this price range. This person probably could be rising over the first couple of weeks of FIFA Ultimate Team or this person, depending on pack weight, might actually get a lot of supply early on in the game and might not be that expensive to what we would have thought previously in previous years. So again, welcome to FIFA 21 boys. Welcome to FIFA 21 with a foot account inaugural FIFA 21 video on the channel with rating stuff coming out on Thursday of this week.
