 Hey guys, it's Nate, aka The Foot Accountant. Welcome back to the channel. Today in FIFA 23, we are expecting to see a feature of Foot Birthday that we have never seen before in this game. And that is with the mini-release, with more Foot Birthday cards coming to packs. EA have told us about this twin mini-release concept, where there are going to be two of the exact same players card in the game, one with five star skills, one with five star weak foot impacts at the same time. That's pretty crazy. We're gonna unpack that a bit more today and talk about what to expect content wise today on FIFA 23, because we have some big player SBC leaks. We're gonna get another player SBC today as a part of the daily Foot Birthday player SBCs. And there are some big names that could be dropping, as well as could today be an icon pack. I think it's very likely fodder prices could keep going up. We'll talk about that side of the market and everything else right now going on in FIFA 23. So if this video helps you at all today, hit the thumbs up on it. And of course, if you're new around here, hit that subscribe button. Let's first do a little content overview from yesterday on Saturday, not that crazy of a day, but we got the Rivaldo. This is a very highly anticipated SBC and they dropped it four star skills, five star weak foot, the boost that needed to happen for this card, really good stat boost as well, still medium low work rates, decent traits and honestly, the stats on the card look really, really good. This is an SBC that I think is okay value and it has a lot of height because it finally makes Rivaldo usable in this game. The price point is the only thing I'm not that excited about. I think the card looks good. I think the stat boost is necessary with the skill move and the weak foot being there. But 1.4 million coins for this card, I just have to be completely honest and say if this card was on the market, I just don't know if he would be 1.4 million coins. But with that being said, a lot of fodder is gonna be attainable via the swaps program. Once we get those packs into the game, upgrade packs, all of the objective packs that are out there, this will be a very craftable SBC. So if you want to do them, if you want to get it done, or if there's like nothing else for you that you want to craft right now in this game, this is definitely not a bad SBC to go and craft. I would just say before doing the big SBC, maybe go get the loan. It's really cheap. It's easy to get. Try them out for a couple of games and make sure you actually like the card before you want to go out and craft them. But that was the biggest piece of content. Yesterday we had another token SBC dropped as well. I believe we are up to 14 tokens. I'll leave the link to this tracker down in the description if you want to take a look at some of the tokens that have been released so far and where they're at. 14 total tokens, including the bonuses. And the other thing that we had yesterday, kind of a quiet day. Saturdays usually are. But we had a huge pack drop in the store. Now, I don't open a ton of these packs because they're just super duper expensive and they're definitely not worth it with coins. But 125 rare gold players in one pack is absolutely crazy, right? 500,000 coins, 3,000 FIFA points and the pack odds. I mean, it's just kind of crazy to look at these pack odds. I can't believe I'm seeing a pack right now when it has pack odds over 3%, almost 4% to pack a foot birthday icon player. Those are insane odds to pack an icon player and 50% chance of packing a foot birthday. So really a crazy pack yesterday, but they make you pay big bucks for it. If you're gonna open this, at least wait till after the mini release drops in the game today because that would give you an even greater chance of packing foot birthday cards. So that was kind of the content yesterday. Like we said, pretty quiet day as Saturdays most often are, but today I think is going to be a bit more exciting. And let's talk about this mini release because mini releases are always on Sundays or not always, but most of the time and since they didn't drop yesterday, we expect it to be today. EA have even told us and we looked at it in yesterday's video really quick and I'm only gonna touch on it here again really quick just because I'm so curious about how this is gonna work out, right? Two versions of the same player will be added into packs, one with a five star skill move and one with a five star weak foot, each that suits different squad building needs and styles of play, right? And these are the leaked players. Again, Darwin Nunez, Kokei and Zenchenko. So my big question marks with this is, are they going to be dropping a Darwin Nunez with five star skills and five star weak foot with the exact same stats on the same exact card, you know, or is it gonna be different stats for each of the two cards? Because as it says here, that suits different squad building needs and styles of play. I'm so curious to see how this works out today. And the reason why this is so big is because I don't think we've ever had a promo or a release where there has been the same version of a player in packs with two different versions at the exact same time, right? We have icons, right? You have the base and the mid and the prime, like right now, mids and prime icons are both as impact but technically, those are different cards, right? They have different images on the card. They've got different stats. So that doesn't really count the same for me. These are gonna be the exact same player as a promo card released in packs at the same time with two different versions. Now there's gonna be a way to tell the versions between them. As EA said, there's gonna be this little symbol above the overall. So maybe they're gonna have to add another card design. I'm not entirely sure how they're gonna do that. But this is so crazy and I can't wait to see how it plays out today, especially with Zenchenko and Darwin Nunez about part of this. Minulees, some pretty big name players there with some very looked forward to cards on FIFA coming today. Now some people have asked like, could this include icons? Would there be icons that are maybe currently in the game for foot birthday that are gonna get a new version today? That I don't know about. I'm super curious guys to see how this plays out today but really what it means is there's gonna be more cards in packs, more foot birthdays and I'm excited to see how this goes down today. And think about it. It might mean double the chance or will it not mean double the chance, right? I'm really curious to see how the pack weight changes today as well. Knowing EA, it's probably not gonna mean double the chance of packing the player but I'm so curious to see how that is gonna look today. Of course, I'm probably gonna be opening my foot birthday guaranteed pack and again, like I said in yesterday's video, I would have urged you guys to do the same thing. Wait until today to open this because many of these cards, more options for bigger players in that pack if you were to get so lucky. So that's the biggest part of like impacts content that's gonna be on the game today. Now, like yesterday, like Friday, daily player SBCs is a part of foot birthday and today we could see a banger, right? Sundays have brought us some big SBCs before. This is the biggest leak that we have right now and in my opinion, this is on the same level or above the same level in terms of hype as Pedri. FIFA Romania and Footshare of confirming with his retweet leaking that Kante is getting an SBC in foot birthday, right? Kante has not had a ton of special cards this year. Some people have said that Kante has kind of fallen off in FIFA but his Winter Wild cards was over a million coins for the longest time. It's been over a million coins since he left packs basically. His card price is down a ton of course as you would expect after this leak but this could be a very, very interesting SBC as this would be a card so many people would wanna put in their team but I doubt it would be very cheap. I would expect this Kante to be like it's leaked and 92, 93 rated above 80 pace, really good defensive stats and if they would give him five star skills or a five star weak foot regardless of which upgrade he gets they're gonna be a really, really meta card. I kinda hope whatever they give him they boost the weak foot or the skill of five star. I hope they boost the other one up as well because two, three for this card hopefully he's like five, three or maybe even four, five potentially if they were to go ahead and do that or maybe if they're gonna give him the weak foot at least give him three star skills for a small boost there but this is massive guys like honestly this is an SBC that so many people would want to do. Speaking of his card being down in price just to kinda show you guys this this leak came out and he was 1.3 mil he went all the way down to 900K has bounced back up a little bit but I would presume that if they're gonna drop a Kante SBC it's probably gonna be around the same price as the Rivaldo and that would just be even more demand for higher rated fodder. Now again it's not confirmed that Kante is gonna be today but when Kante does drop here in the next couple of days maybe Kante's SBC is not gonna be until this next Friday for team two this is just such a massive SBC for a big name player with such incredible links so many people want to get in their team I mean I would be very tempted to do this SBC just be careful because this is an SBC that is upcoming now other SBCs that we still have that are leaked right now we still have the Ozil we still have the DeSasi and we still have the Colossanac right for potential flip birth the SBCs coming today and one of the reasons that EA might choose to go with one of those cheaper SBCs they had our expensive Rivaldo yesterday they had a middle priced Pejori on Friday today on Sunday is another very common day that we see icon upgrade packs released now we have the hero player pick that is expiring today but remember this hero player pick first came out during the fantasy foot promo when heroes were in packs I would almost 100% expect today to be an icon pack day because again EA are highlighting icons right now with the SBCs like Rivaldo with the cards in packs for the foot birthday icons the only thing that could maybe not go the icon way today is maybe they choose to do a cheap upgrade pack like a mixed campaign player pick or something along those lines like they did last Sunday but I think it is very, very possible that we would see an icon pack here in the next day or so on this game and that would mean fodder prices going up even more and that could also hurt some of the market because if you think about where we are at right now in this game we have had some of the same icon packs like that 89 plus we have had that many times in a row and I think it's been three different icon packs in a row we've had that exact same SBC EA need to do something different whether it's a mid or prime player pick whether it's a prime player pick I feel like a prime icon upgrade would not be a step in the right direction as it should be I believe in early March of last year in FIFA 22 we had the mid or prime player pick a couple of times that was the glitched player pick that gave out the moments icons last year in early March of this game and I mean there is a shout that maybe today's upgrade pack could contain team of the year icon since we have foot birthday icons now in the game and upgrades to icons a new version would EA start to finally release team of the year icons in an upgrade pack I would say that potential seems very small to me because these icons are still some of the best I mean look at this Beckham card, right? The Mulder, the Zeneti, the Maka Lele Ashley Cole is still an insane, insane card I feel like it still might be a bit early for some of the team of the year icons to be included in upgrade packs but I feel like a lot of us are ready for that so I kind of hope EA do it also I could see them not doing it for whatever reasons they're going to say is these cards are still too good to be putting out inside of SBCs but I do think we'll get some sort of icon upgrade pack if not this week then in the next and weekend in the next couple of days so watch out for that today that's a big piece of Sunday content along with our daily SBC player and I wanna look at fodder because of it, right? With Rivaldo dropping yesterday, you saw like we just looked at Lewandowski these 91 rated cards had a bump up in price because I think a lot of people yesterday were going out and buying the high-rated to do Rivaldo because it's like oh my goodness finally a usable Rivaldo squad and that's got these card prices going up the high tier of fodder, Casamiro 105K GGs if you bought those like 90K on Thursday, right? Courtois and all these 90s are 54K guys these were 47,000 coins on Thursday and Friday they are a big 89s or 39,000 coins apiece these guys were 34,000 coins on Thursday and Friday as well so if you bought the high-rated fodder, GGs I'm still holding a lot of it on my transfer list because at this point it still looks like it can go higher, right? I mean what's supply today? Unless EA dropped some crazy tradeable pack what supply is gonna outweigh the demand over the time in this next week to make these cards go down? I don't think that possibility is really there I would keep holding your fodder and on the low tier as well you know 84 is 4,000 coins apiece 83s are 2.1, they're low they're not super low but they are still low if we're getting daily player SBCs like let's say we get an Ozil or a Disasi today or maybe it's Colossanac, right? One of those birthday player SBCs that has a lot of hype that's a bit cheaper some of this low-rated fodder could go up as well so fodder is looking absolutely fantastic at the moment for a hold now the only thing I would tell you today is if you have not picked up fodder yet and you're like, Nate, can I still invest? I think the window of opportunity is really shrinking but there's gonna be another opportunity early today because think about all of us that have played squad battles in the past week as a part of the footballers promo there are gonna be so many packs open this morning and early into today on Sunday with squad battle rewards being paid out as so many people played squad battles last week and are currently playing squad battles to get the foot birthday guaranteed pack for the objective here and to get all the footballers done so there's gonna be supply on the market today get on bids, I would really try to get on bids probably with the way the market looks for fodder prices right now stuff that's not up a ton that could still have a big potential to rise I would look at 83s, 84s, 85s on the bids and for the higher rated fodder if you need some 91s try to get some of these guys maybe at like 65K or somewhere along those lines because I just think that these guys are gonna end up going higher as we head throughout the week with so many high rated squad requirements out in this game so fodder is looking lovely if you invested in it especially on the really top tier I can't believe that Thomas Muller's foot birthday card is now fodder that's crazy cause his price has dropped off that might be worth a club stock as well in the low 60s this morning if that's something that you would like to do with your coins now let's talk about the rest of the market let's talk about these foot birthday players as well because as expected they have dropped off Bernardo Silva was 1.1 last night he's now 900K some of these icons have taken a big tumble in price like look at Best's graph yesterday Saturdays are always great for trading with cards that are pretty rare or pretty expensive from the brand new promo team cause they're still rare enough that they don't have a ton of supply yet so their price is moving bounce but they're also you know impacts and supplied and people are trying them out so there's a lot of potential for fluctuations George Best went from 3.1 mil Saturday morning down to 2.4 GGs if you bought down here he went all the way back to 2.7 right after content and then has kinda dropped down slowly since still about 2.6 million coins but a lot of these guys dropped Emerson 100K Cumans 540 Mateus Kentonam Marquinhos is down big Jofilx is finally down to a price that's way more reasonable this card is really rare guys but I'm telling you like I said in yesterday's video this guy is just so overpriced that it's crazy to me how it can be such a small upgrade over the winter wild cards that he has and how his price can be so inflated for that small upgrade just for the 5 star or 5 star and for the Chelsea links that he has so that's kind of you know where these cards are at for me right now they're down I do believe they will fall further so just be careful if we have any of them I wouldn't hold onto them for too long especially with the big content that could be upcoming if we get a Kante SBC guys I mean I really believe that that Kante SBC could really change the landscape of a lot of player prices on this game that would really hurt a lot of mid to top tier midfielders I know we're kinda talking about this going back to the same concept talking about Kante again but I really feel like a lot of your midfielders that are on this game mid to high tier would take a huge hit especially if they're French maybe like you know Viera special cards you know maybe even some more expensive midfielders like the Goretzka a couple versions that he has those guys would definitely take a hit if a Kante SBC was released at a good value with good stats and a craftable price at least so that's a huge SBC that is upcoming but every single day that we get player SBCs on this game for the next week we saw a little bit with Pedri right we saw Arajo we saw Usman Dembele and some of those Barcelona cards go up if the player SBC value is good or if it's just a player that is like a huge name like Pedri is just a massive name right as an up and coming star in football watch out for the links because they will rise Arajo was 750k and he's up over 100,000 coins Usman Dembele I believe I kinda wanna check his price right now but I believe he is still up a good amount as well he was like 500k before he dropped what is Usman right now Usman is still 600k so big rises on hype SBCs for links to those cards are very, very possible now if we have like a Colossanek today who would go up because of that you know you think of like Alexis Sanchez usually the prices that rise are the most meta cards that link to that brand new card that has been dropped and Alexis Sanchez is of course a live card 600,000 coins I believe for him right now at the moment still live with potential to upgrade a little bit more to get a plus two on top of the plus two he's already gotten but this is a super duper meta card right and if we have a Colossanek today that is really good value that looks cracked people might wanna buy this to go and link with that Colossanek card so that's the sort of stuff I'd watch out for on the market today and then watch out for foot birthdays as well I'm hearing a lot of good things about this Emerson Royale right back card which is lovely to hear as a Spurs fan I can't wait to try to pack him from upgrade packs this week or maybe get him my guaranteed but I hear great things about this card and you know if there's supply today with the squad battle rewards supply dropping on the game today definitely look out for the potential to flip with some of the foot birthday cards in this game today as well the rest of the market seems to be doing pretty healthy seems to be moving pretty good or fluctuating a decent amount and it's not like prices are still are crashing or anything like that with the promo that we have had you know a lot of people are saying man these cards just look still pretty mid and stuff like that so the market is still really really healthy you know the one thing I would say is be careful with some of these fantasy cards and some of the road to the finals because yes I know the games are upcoming in the next week but foot birthday swaps leaks wanna talk about this really quick to end the video for sure I've tweeted about this yesterday we still don't have the exact swaps rewards leaked all of them right and they're gonna be out in the game tomorrow so EA have really done a good job of keeping this under wraps but a one of five player pick with road to the final fantasy foot fantasy foot heroes and foot birthday team one that is gonna be a very popular option out of the foot birthday swaps program like I'm tempted right now looking at that you've got two or three different types of live cards with road to the finals fantasy foot and fantasy foot heroes kinda reminds me of that player pick that had like winter wild cards and stuff like that in it I think that was back during future stars swaps like the one of five player pick then that also included some of those different heroes in it so that's a really popular option I think for a lot of people and even a one of four 90 plus icon which yeah there's a lot of 91 and 90 rated icons as a weaver is here tweeting to sheriff like these could be really really bad but at the same time that's could be a really really good icon pick as well and then he tweeted that he thinks Shearer is gonna be either an SBC or a swaps rewards card so just kinda keep an eye on some of those live cards if they do release this as a swaps reward obviously it's not gonna bring a huge amount of panic to those but it could bring an opportunity where if you see a little bit of a dip maybe there is potential to buy some foot fantasy cards maybe as we head into this week before the games kind of restart next weekend at the beginning of April so that's just kind of something to keep in mind and hopefully we get a full leak for the swaps program very soon because I know a lot of us are really interested as we have had 14 tokens released now we're like ready to spend our swap tokens and that is gonna start tomorrow and Monday we'll talk more about that in the video tomorrow but hopefully we get some more news some more leaks and information about that but today should be at least more exciting than yesterday on Saturday with a mini release and the twin release concept dropping on this game maybe an icon pack maybe a big SBC like an Ozil maybe a big SBC like a Conte should be a fun Sunday today on FIVA 23 so if you're excited for the day today hit the thumbs up on the video comment down below if you do have any questions or comments and of course subscribe to the channel if you're new I will see you guys in a video tomorrow it's been Nathan Buttock out and catch you guys there peace out.
