 Hey guys, it's Nate, aka The Foot Accountant. Welcome back to the channel. We have a massive Friday of FIFA 22 content ahead because Road to the Final is here. We have new cards coming in packs today, live items. Of course, we have all of these European competitions have started back up again. This is perfect timing from EA Sports to drop this promo right now in this game. I want to take a look at the market, the cards that we are going to have today in this game. We don't have a lot of leaks. We have a couple and it's kind of nice, right? There's a little bit of a surprise factor to today's content. Now we have that loading screen. I want to take a look at that. And we also have icon swaps number two. It is not coming out today. It's not going to be until Monday, but we have the leaks for what the actual actual icon swap rewards are going to be. So we're going to take a look at everything related to Road to the Final today as well as the team impacts, the SBCs, the objectives, how the pack weight is going to be for these cards and just what other content, including maybe prime icon moments, we could see today on this game. So if you're excited for Road to the Final like I am, make sure to hit thumbs up on this video and subscribe if you are new. Let's get into this loading screen and talk about the players that we maybe know that are going to be in packs today. Of course, this loading screen is a really only verified hint or I guess EA likes to toss us these teasers more so about what cards could be in the promo. Now I think there are some leaks for these two cards. The conference league item looks to be smalling from Roma, Chris Smalling. And then this item, the Europa League item is Ansu Fati as it is leaked. Okay. So you see here Ansu Fati. Again, we're taking a lot of this with, you know, a pinch of salt as we like to say, right? Foot Sheriff, a resident leaker who has been very correct about it so many things so far this year. Somebody tweeted him and said, Hey, is that guy on the loading screen Ansu Fati? He says, yes. And is the guy on the loading screen smalling, which he also said, yes. Now, Foot Sheriff himself has not leaked a lot of actual players that are going to be a part of this promo today. There's been other people that have talked about it. So that's why you've already started to see market movements of players prices going down like Renato Sanchez or other centerbacks in this game dropping because of Kempembe leaks. But I really don't feel like those are all 100% confirmed just yet. So until Sheriff tweets about it. And for me, he is the most reliable leaker that is on Twitter telling us this stuff. He's been the most consistent. So that's why I'm again just saying, believe this with a grain of salt, and we're only going to talk about it for a little bit. But he says road to the final, of course, is today. And it's pretty simple. The boosts today are going to be, you know, a one time upgrade team a week boost. So a plus one or a plus two. And then the upgrades seem to be the same if they win the first knockout game after this today, after today. So like for PSG and for Liverpool have already won a game. It sounds like that win will not count towards their cards. I guess the other thing here is maybe EA will give them an extra upgrade if there is a PSG or Liverpool player in the team because they already have that first win. But the upgrades will be winning the first knockout game, qualifying for the quarterfinals, qualifying for the semifinals, qualifying for the finals and winning the title for each of the three respective competitions for which there are going to be cards released impacts today. So that's very similar to how road to the final has been. That's how it's acted in the years past. That's cool that we had the same kind of upgrade system that means these upgrades are going to be coming decently fast as the competition progresses here in the next month or so, especially we're going to see more midweek games for these cards that potentially upgrade. So what kind of cards are going to be in today, right? Again, I talked about the loading screen. It looks like on Sufati and smalling or to the cards that are going to be in, but who else? Now again, these are just leaks. They're not 100% true, but leaks have been pretty accurate. So this leak right here is really causing a lot of frenzy. Kim Pembe is leaked to be in the team today. Our objective player today is leaked to be Mr. Martinez from IAX. That could be a pretty dope card. Of course, Champions League IAX. Marcus Llorente, if you noticed his item, his signature signings card dropped a lot in price yesterday because of this leak here. A lot of guys think that this might be the card that is shown here on the loading screen. Potentially, is this Llorente card? That's not, again, a leak, just some guesstimations. Other cards that are leaked to be in Quadrado is one that is leaked to be in again the Kim Pembe and I believe Kai Havertz is one other one that is leaked to be in this promo. Now here's another leak, your foot zone. Again, not always 100% accurate, which is why I'm showing you these and I'm saying be careful believing this until we probably see more leaks today on Friday, until we actually see the real team in the game, Renato Sanchez. This caused a lot of movement on the market yesterday. As you saw Renato Sanchez card, he dropped from 500, let me show you this drop. He dropped from 560k, 428 on the Xbox, down to 400k on the PlayStation and low 300s on the Xbox. Now he did bounce back a little bit, but he is expected to be one of the players that gets a card today. Sadio Mane is expected as a Liverpool player. Arajo is actually in as well. Some people were a bit skeptical of this after the Ansu Fati, but it sounds like there might be two Barcelona players that are in. And then also this Havertz card is evidently as a part of the promo today. So again, those are definitely not cards that are leaked that we can believe 100% that will be in the promo today. But of course, people are already saying that they are in. Some of the leakers have said that EA is making changes to the squad. Again, it feels like we have an actual element of surprise today, right? Because I'm not believing 100% those leaks just yet. I want to see the real team for myself because the leaks definitely aren't as forthcoming as they have been in previous weeks. Of course, this is the big leak though that everybody's talking about, right? The Campembe getting a special card today. You saw guys like Le Quat, right? Le Quat has his Future Stars item. This card was down and he still is down pretty low. He's 700,000 coins. He was 800K yesterday and has dropped off a lot in price because of this Campembe leak that is coming. Now, if a Campembe card were to drop today in this game, the fact that PSG of course are not favorites, but towards the more one of the favorite teams to win the Champions League. This card, of course, with a boost, this is like the Joe Gomez of a couple FIFAs ago, right? FIFA 20 Joe Gomez. This is the guy. This is his year in FIFA. Everybody is scared of this guy. The 83 rated gold version is so good in game. If you remember that Le Quat card that we just looked at last week, he was 1.3 million coins extinct. Can you imagine a Campembe today that is 85 rated, which is what it should be unless they gave him that first win upgrade already, then he would be an 86 potentially. But can you imagine a Campembe today that is 85 or 86 rated and has the potential to continue to upgrade to get a higher rated card as PSG if they continue to win, if they get out of this round of the knockouts against Real Madrid and continue to move on to the competition. This card is going to be very, very expensive. A lot of the cards today, in my opinion, are going to be very expensive. Now, we don't have the card design added. Don't be confused. Make sure you kind of see this and realize this. The road to the knockouts are different. The card design is different. It's going to look different. You're going to see it today when they drop the new cards on the game. But don't be confused about road to the knockouts compared to road to the finals. The cards look very similar, but they are different. There's going to be different players. And I know some people are going to get confused about that over time. But I really expect Campembe, all the cards that are dropped today, if we take a look back at last year during road to the final and we take a look back at the pack weight. Now, of course, last year in FIFA 21, pack weight was a lot lower than it is this year. It was only 1.3% for in 50k pack. It was only 1.3%. Just to kind of put that in perspective, there might even be 50k packs in the store right now for the Future Stars promo. And I want to show you the pack weight in 50k packs. Is there one out right now? Primal players pack, Jumbo rear pack. Okay, there's not a 50k pack. There is 100,000 coin pack. So we can divide this percentage by two. It's basically 10% right now out of a 100k pack for a Future Stars player, which is decently high percentage. I think that today the pack weight for these road to the final players is going to be pretty low. They're going to release 100k, 50, 100, 125k, maybe the 85 or 86 plus star lightning rounds depending on how many lightning rounds EA really want to throw out there. I think the pack weight for road to the final players today is going to be lower because it almost always is. And that is just kind of a characteristic of these cards that are always kind of rare for whatever reason. Pack weight is lower. So just kind of keep that in mind today as the players might seem a bit expensive compared to the relatively cheap for most of the Future Star cards that we have seen in the past two weeks on this game. So the cards that are in packs today, there's a bit of question marks surrounding all of that. And I kind of like it, right? I enjoy that we don't have a ton of leaks when it comes to that department of this game. Now for SBC today, I really don't know what SBC is going to be coming today, but there is an SBC leak for during the road to the final promo and that is this Mesut Ozil. This is actually, we looked at it on stream yesterday, the third year in a row that Mesut Ozil is going to get a boosted SBC card. The last two years during foot birthday, he has had an item and it looks like he's going to make that three years in a row and evidently he's going to have five star skill moves. This might be the SBC today, it also might not. So we're going to have to see, depending on what content is released, of course, this is a potential SBC that we could get today. I would imagine that we would get some sort of player SBC as a part of the promo today. And again, if you think back, right? Think about some of the SBCs that we had during the road to the knockouts promo earlier this year, right? We had Bernardo Silva, we had Fakir. They usually drop some pretty good and delict as well, right? They usually drop some pretty good SBCs during these promos. And they gain a lot of traction and they have a lot of height because there are live cards that EA are putting these SBCs out for. So then it really comes down to, okay, can that player's team continue on in the competition that they're in? So that's where, you know, we haven't had the live aspect of cards in this game. Kind of, we haven't been thinking about that too much in promos recently, but we're going to have to start thinking about that again with these Champions League cards and all the fun that it's going to bring to this game in this game. So that's kind of all the content for the pack stuff today. Again, icon moments is something that we can maybe talk about here a little bit. We do have the potential for icon moments to drop today. A lot of leaks for stats have been put out there. And as we transition to talk about icon swaps as well, there are icon moments cards that are a part of icon swaps. So the real question is, is EA going to put icon moments in packs today? I'm not sure. I kind of imagined that they would. It's definitely not a guarantee. That's up in the air as well, but I could see it happening. I could also see it not happening until next week. So we'll have to see what EA does along with that. Now, speaking of icons, once again, we do have a major, major leak. And I know a lot of you guys are excited for this. And I think this is really going to impact the market after this immediate weekend. And we'll talk about market here in just a second. But icon swaps two is 100% leaked. These are, this is what icon swaps is going to look like because last time we had leaks for icon swaps one, they were spot on. And I think this is going to be spot on for icon swaps two. It is leaked to start on Monday. So not today on Friday, but on Monday, we should see the start of icon swaps two. Again, I'll hide my face came here for just a quick second so that you can see what is all a part of this. You have the 81 times 25, 82 and 83 times 25, Henri, Javi, you've got a prime icon pack. So a lot of people are looking at options two, three, five, and eight for your 18 tokens play there to get all of your tokens and to get all of your, you know, tokens accounted for as the best value for your tokens. You've got a moment's Gerard, you've got a prime Kaffu prime, got into prime moments, kind of viral. A lot of people are looking at that 14 swap token for kind of viral and they're liking that. But then you also have some pretty interesting packs up here, 92 plus prime or moments pack, a prime icon player pick a 92 plus prime icon pack. I think that, you know, there's multiple options out of this. I'm always a fan of taking the times 25 packs, you know, that's what I'm going to grind for my icon swaps. But I have no problem if you want to go after one of these players, especially if it's Gerard or Conavaro, maybe even Kaffu or got into, I think Grinchia, they should have made that the moments version for a 17 token card. I know that's a really, really big name player. He's like a 1.5, 1.6 million coin card on this game. And I understand why they're making him 17 tokens. I just feel like that all important 17 swaps, like the most high tier swap players should be an icon moments card, but that is still a pretty decent card. And I think that some of these icon packs here near the end, like if you have 18 tokens, you could go after the prime player pick and still do the 82 times 25, or you could go after the prime or moments pack and still do the 81 times 25. So there is only one pack in here that actually gives out moments icons, which makes me think that even though you won't be able to attain that pack on Monday right away when swaps are released, it makes me feel like that icon moments, especially with Gerard and Conavaro as well. That's why I think there could be icon moments as soon as today in FIFA. So I'll put a link to this down below in the description. If you want to take a look at this graphic and maybe think about it, mow over your opportunities again, but that is the leaked icon swap rewards. We don't have anything on requirements yet or what games you have to play, what nations, what friendly modes, anything like that. Those are the rewards leaked for icon swaps. Now again, we mentioned it quickly yesterday, but let's talk about market and how even icon swaps could impact the market a little bit on this game this weekend. One common theme, and this is very interesting. I was looking back on a couple videos from earlier this year. And last year, one common theme is when we've had these road to the final promos, the market almost always drops. And especially with icon swaps as well, we usually see a pretty sizable drop in the market because people turn away from using cards for their teams and they turn in those cards and they sell those so they have coins and don't have to worry about their team losing value. And they go out and they play objective games for squad battles and friendlies to do their icon swaps. So that's going to be the focus after this weekend. But I really feel like the market still could drop off a decent amount this weekend as you know, the market has dropped off as a whole because the name are SBC and fodder has been sky high recently as there's been so many SBCs that are out. And a lot of those SBCs are actually still in the game. Like today on Friday, you still have a party bag pack, a Future Stars reunion player pick that are still going to be in the game. You have two icon upgrade SBCs in the mid icon player pick that is still out and repeatable for some people that haven't done it yet. And also the mid or prime upgrade. So there's a lot of coins that are being drained off of this game because people love to do these SBCs and maybe they don't have any coins. They're going to open some FIFA points today for road to the final, the cards that they get, the coins that they get, they might go out and, you know, do these upgrade SBCs once again. I really just think that you're going to see the market again drop off some more this weekend because of the fact that icon swaps are around. Those SBCs are there and road to the final cards, you know, again, if they put out SBCs and objectives for some of these road to the final items, people are very interested in those. And I think that people will interact with those and do some of those SBCs and that will drain more coins off of the market as well. So speaking of SBC fodder, it was really, really high last night when we looked at it on the YouTube video and it's starting to drop down again as everybody is selling some of these cards before they know, of course, today with the supply that stuff is going to drop. 86 is yesterday. We're above 21, 22,000 coins a piece. As you can see now they are down below that range. Like take a look at Scrinniar, right? He was 23, 24K on PlayStation. Now he's down to 19, 20,000 coins. These cards are going to continue to drop into this morning on Friday. As people that have invested in these are still selling them and trying to get them out. This happened, the exact same thing happened last Friday. If you guys remember fodder was very low for the first hour right before content. And then the first hour after the brand new promo started, as long as we don't have an insane SBC today that would make people go out and buy fodder to do a crazy SBC card or upgrade pack or something like that. On Fridays, it's usually just a card. I think that this fodder stuff, even though it has been really, really high lately, it's going to be a very similar situation the last week, right? Fodder went low on the weekend, rose up during the week. It went low last week and again went up even further into this week. I would really watch the fodder market today and see how low it goes, especially this weekend. I would watch this part of the market because again you still have those icon upgrade SBCs that are out. People will still be looking to do those. If you see 88s at like 26, 27,000 coins today or maybe even 28K, you could even expect them to go back up a little bit again as all that SBC demand is there. That's a way you might be able to trade and make coins on the market today, even on Friday and throughout this weekend. So just watch the SBC fodder part of the market because there's a lot of SBCs that are out there. And again with these brand new cards, the road to the knockouts and even the future stars that are leaving packs, I really feel like that the future stars are, you know, some of them are pretty hype. Again, you have guys like Gravenbridge who links to the Martinez objective that is supposedly going to be coming out. But these cards have dropped off in price. Gravenbridge right now is 748,000 coins, right? Again, we already looked at Laquah, but take a look at Pedri. Pedri was 1.9 highs yesterday. He was 1.85 earlier today. He's 1.88 right now. You have had a lot of these cards, Farin Torres is one of them. His right wing version has dropped off a ton. He was like 900K yesterday. He is right now 700,000 coins, maybe bounces back up a little bit today. But just keep an eye on some of these future stars as well because these are still some of the hype cards in the game that people may want to go out and try and use. So just keep an eye on these cards today. Last week, if you remember, we saw some of the future stars like Konate, like Smith Row. Those cards were low at the content drop and then rebounded. So, you know, keep an eye on some of those today as you might see them rebound once again as these future stars are still very popular and very hype. But in general, a normal promo Friday where you have cards probably drop into the content time, get low around that timeframe, and then people have to go back out and buy cards for Weekend League and you see them rebound back up. Now, if EA does anything crazy today, like preview packs or anything, we haven't seen preview packs in a long time. Maybe they bring those back and they caused some real market havoc today. We'll have to see. But I don't expect that. I guess it's something that could happen though because preview packs are a part of this game. That would, of course, change a lot and it changed a lot of things. Now, one thing I'd watch out for today too, speaking of SPC demand, Ben Yetter, player of the month, his price is continually dropping. If you take a look at his SPC, this guy's SPC was like $350K to do. As SPC fodder drops, he keeps getting lower and lower and lower. I would recommend waiting to do this SPC unless you need him for this Weekend League. You'll be able to do them cheaper today as SPC fodder drops with the supply and with people selling off before that supply that they know is coming. Just keep an eye out on that price for this card because a lot of people want to do them. Even myself included. I'm interested in this SPC. It does fit in the team. But again, that's another SPC out there that people might want to be doing today. So again, the best part about Road to the Final is we have live cards that upgrade for competitions that we love to tune in and watch. I'm excited and I'm very curious to see, number one, how the leaks are today. If we have more leaks this morning on Friday and just number two, what cards EA put in the side and what may be curveball or twist or something different that we weren't expecting, what they might be doing today on this game, especially with the icon moments. I'm really hoping for icon moments today. Maybe that's a bit selfish of me, but I'm really hoping that they do drop icon moments, at least the first set of some of those that'd be really, really dope, I think. And then of course, we'll be looking to icon swaps, which starts on Monday as it is leaked. So I know that was a lot to go over and a lot to talk about, but it's going to be an exciting promo Friday. If you want to follow it all live, click the Twitch link down below in the description. I will be streaming for the promo today as the new content comes in the game. Make sure you head over there, check that out. It'll be a lot of fun. We'll rip some packs, watch the market, make some coins and check out all the new cards and content that EA released on the game today on Friday. So if you're excited for Road to the Final, Prime Icon Moments or Icon Swaps 2, make sure again to hit that thumbs up, comment down below if you have any questions and subscribe if you're new. It's been Nate, The Foot Account, and I'll catch you guys later. Peace out.
