 Hey guys, it's Nate, AKA The Foot Accountant. Welcome back to the channel. We need to talk about this loading screen right here that we are about to see as we log into Foot. Are we getting a new promotion on Friday? The answer to that is yes, but we don't know what promotion this is. This is a very interesting loading screen. I wanna talk about it. There's not a lot of clues or hints inside of this. I don't see like any words or numbers like they like to throw in with other loading screens. I don't see anything with that one, but I wanna talk about it a little bit and kinda talk about what this looks like to me because we do have a couple options for what this promo could be. You know, they like to re-release and they like to kinda keep the same schedule as they have done in prior years with a lot of these promos and that's gonna be factoring into a lot of our decisions today on what we think this promo is going to be. But regardless, it is Thursday. Happy Weekend League Rewards Day. If you guys have rewards, I have gold three rewards myself. I'm really hoping to get sun, of course, who isn't, but as a Spurs fan, a sun in red form, red inform in my club would be perfect. But again, we're here to talk about this loading screen today and this is what we have right now on foot. It's basically just a green with like the foot graphics, right? It's green with foot graphics, starts in one day, 15 hours. My first question when I see this is, does EA actually have to put out another promo and actually advertise another promo that's gonna be coming out in this game in the next couple of days because this promo that we're currently in Winter Refresh is just so bad? This Winter Refresh promo has been awful, bro. Seriously, awful. And I don't know when we're getting that guaranteed Winter Refresh SBC like we should be getting, but for some reason it doesn't look like it's coming. So I think that this promo is kind of one of two things. And I want to first just mention the first event that I do think that it could be and that is Foot Player Days. Now, a lot of people aren't talking about this promo, but if you remember this from last year, basically what this was is EA was dropping promo after promo every weekend from when the year turned 2019 and onwards. We had the first time ever we had headliners, the first time ever we had Foot Future Stars, right? We had the ones to watch and the Prime Icon moments promos. And we had this right at the beginning of March. I think this is going to be our promo for right this week on foot. I think this is what it's gonna be. Basically, Foot Player Days from last year, this is my opinion. It could also be carnival. We'll talk about that in a second, but I want to talk about this. What this promo came after Winter Refresh last year, and it was basically a new event for a single weekend is what it was. They threw best of informs back into packs with engagement rewards, coin discounts, buy one, get one free packs, SBCs and the like. So again, the biggest part of this promo was the fact that it was a 50% off packs, two for one packs. They had all that kind of stuff. It was just another thing they could do to try to sell packs on the weekend. So this is my opinion for what's gonna be coming this weekend. We'll probably learn more information today, later on in the day. After 6 p.m. UK, we will probably get more information. But of course they threw in the best of team week last year. So we had Ronaldo, we had team, the group stage, Neymar was in packs. We had an inform, Ed and Hazard. I think we had a group stage or informed to hey, we had multiple group stage items and multiple, we had a man of the match Ramos that was in packs. So yeah, it was basically made up of Champions League, man of the match cards, informs, one regular man of the match and then team of the group stage as well. So this was the foot player day squad last year. These cards were out for just the weekend and that caused a lot of panic on the market. I don't know if you guys remember this or not, but there's a lot of panic selling on these cards and a lot of panic just on the market in general because when they release cards like this into packs, people are gonna open packs. So that was the last year foot player days. And then we also had the engagement rewards. Basically for the amount of foot 19 that you've played, you get to log in and get a kit and a custom reward because of that. We had objectives, we had SBCs, pack supply SBCs, basically is what it looks like for this. Again, this promo last year was only for a weekend, right? It was only for a couple of days. So I think that this is the promo that is coming and I do see them making an entire week promo because they do like to do this stuff a lot. And then I think after this promo, we're gonna see not carnival, but we're gonna see the Copa Libertadores, which is a new thing that is gonna be coming to foot in the beginning of March. So we're gonna be talking about that a little bit here on the channel, because EA is making a big point of that in their earnings calls, like the actual EA Electronics Arts, the actual company, EA Sports, has been making a deal about that in their conference calls and in their earnings calls transcripts, which you don't know what those are. That's basically when they update people who own their stock and who own a share of their company by buying stock. We're talking IRL market right now. They inform those people what's going on with the company. That's called an earnings call or an earnings transcript. So that's where some of that information is coming from and they've been mentioning specifically that promotion inside of FIFA Ultimate Team in those earnings calls. So I think that's important. So we're gonna talk about it, but my guess for this promo right here is foot player days, because I think they can just throw that green out there and make a foot player days out of it. Some other people are talking about carnival being this promo. I don't really know if it's carnival because a lot of the carnival stuff last year was based around the actual carnival dates, right? A total of 26 players will be selected to embody the play style of eight major carnival countries, right? Brazil, France, Belgium, Italy, Argentina, USA, Spain and Germany. So this is a cool promotion we had last year the first time as well, but this came out like three weeks away from now. Two or three weeks away from now is when this came out. And also on this loading screen, I mean, we do have a green, right? This loading screen is basically just green. It's the only color that's in here, a little bit of blue, right? This promotion last year was really, it was like yellow, that pinkish red and then the green. So I guess there's a possibility this upcoming promo could be carnival, but I personally think it is going to be the foot player days promo. I think they're going to make a week out of it. They're going to throw best of cards back into packs because they haven't done that since Black Friday and then they're probably going to drop like, they could drop the mid icon SBC. Last year they dropped prime moments SBCs. And then of course they did the two for one packs. I think that that would be something that they could do with this promo. So again, those are just my thoughts on the upcoming promo and the loading screen that we do have. I want to cover some other things right now that are going on in foot as well. It was like a hodgepodge day of all sorts of things in foot, not a ton of content, not really on the SBCs, but we did get the Twitch Prime packs. I don't know if you guys saw this, if you do have Twitch Prime or Amazon Prime, you can link your Amazon Prime account and get these packs. And this is actually an interesting scenario with this right now. You were actually, if you get one of these packs, there's seven different packs as it reads down here. Prime members get exclusive fee for 20 content every month for seven months. So we have a pack, you can't see mine. It's over here on the right side. It's just past this one right here. This one, it's just to the right of that. It's hidden, because I've actually claimed it and opened it. But there's one for March, April, and then a spring. I'm guessing that's May, June, July, and August, is what I'm guessing for all these months right here. For the next seven months, they're gonna be giving us a free pack, which is kinda cool, I guess. So I'll drop a link to the Amazon Prime, where you can link your accounts down below, and you can check that out if you wish. But that's kinda cool, and we got those today. There's actually a loading screen for that as well. We got a new team of the week today, which actually was interesting, because we had two OTW upgrades in Maguire and Pepe. We also had a headliner upgrade in Jared Moreno. I mean, it doesn't really matter that much, just because it's Jared Moreno, and he's not the most OP or used player in foot. But we did get some informs today. Again, good luck if you're opening your Reds today for weekly rewards. Interesting team of the week, honestly. Kinda interesting. It's kind of just, you know, run of the mill, a lot of SBC fodder with a Glick, Moreno, Berguise, Maguire. Clostrum is a really cool card, 88 pace, 82 defense. He's a left back, I think, or right back, that's been position changed. And then Noyre is a pretty high level card. Susu on the bench is really solid, and then the rest of the team is just kinda average. But it's a lot of SBC fodder, so that's got a lot of people thinking about the possibility of maybe like a mid icon SBC, or the Neymar player of the month. Still, Neymar player of the month should be on your guys' horizons because that SBC should be coming soon. These cards today took an absolute killing, and they dropped a bunch. And I wanna talk about why that happened. It was because we had a lot of pack supply SBCs today. We had three pack supply SBCs. Before we look at these prices, let me just look at the content that we had today. I mentioned before that we didn't have any SBCs. I was referencing player SBCs. But we had a premium gold players pack for this Champions League SBC that it was only out for a day. We also had the Marquis matchups. UEFA Marquis matchups as well that is out for two days in total. And this one has a rare Electron players pack and then two packs inside which are a small prime. That's not a bad pack, and a rare mix. So that's a little bit less than ideal. But that's why a lot of the cards onto market today that were in packs, a lot of these winter refresh cards, that's why they dropped. Because they got packed a ton, right? Look at this cornet. Early today, 40,000 coins, right? Content comes out at 6 p.m. U.K. He drops all the way down to 30,000 coins, rebounds a little bit. He's now back down to 30K. These cards are really interesting to me because they are so, so cheap. And a lot of them are very usable and are gonna get into people's squads. I'm just not entirely sure what's coming next with the market. And that's kind of, you know, I'm holding back from investing in these, especially I'm not gonna touch these until after rewards. I know rewards are today, but if these guys get hit in price this much, is this 35K? Excuse me? 35,000 coins for Areola, unbelievable. Unbelievable this price. This is crazy. He was 70, 80K just two days ago. Anyway, he's down to 44,000, dropped to 33. If this market drop on these cards happened from a simple three pack, there are two SBC that were in the store. So a total of what? Four packs? Four packs that you could have gotten today to open up. And this is the supply that we see on these cards. Ake is at 144. The dude is down like 100,000 coins from where he was on the weekend. Yeah, he was up here like, he was higher than 217 is what the graph shows, but he's 150K on both console. Wow, no way. He was 130, he was 130,000 coins on the Xbox. Excuse me on the PlayStation. Now he's back up to 149. So if he gets back down to that 125, 130 range, I'm gonna be very interested in possibly picking up this card because if he's risen already from the pack supply today, that means he's gonna rise after rewards as well, in my opinion. So maybe take a look at these cards. If you're watching this video before rewards, maybe take a look at these cards and say, yo, which ones actually rose after the supply today? Because that means that they have hype. People wanna use them and people wanna try them. So that means they have a very high probability of rising again after rewards today. So watch out for these cards to get very low during weekly rewards. If you want any of them for your team, this is the time where you can cash, you can go splash the cash for them. The only two that I'd be very careful with would be Bruno Fernandez and Zlatan Ibrahimovic. Those are the only two that I'd be very careful with because there still is technically a guaranteed winter refresh player, SBC in the code. There is a pack that will give out a guaranteed winter refresh player and that pack code is in. We saw it last night. I looked at it on the video last night. It was all over Twitter. That's a pack that could very well come out still and that could drop these cards prices even more. Bruno Fernandez is definitely gonna be one who rises out of packs. From whatever he drops to when he goes out, he is going to rise because this card has a lot of hype. He's Manchester United, big time transfer, really solid card in game. Haven't played it to myself, but he looks really good. 98 stamina is nuts. Good decent agility, decent balance. I was looking at the vision and crossing first, at first, but he's got pace. He's got really good passing. Looks like a really solid center attacking mid in the prem, four star, four star, high high, even like a box to box center mid. So I'm definitely, if I could get my hands on this card to try it out, I might have to do that. But if you want either of these guys for your team, we're talking Zlatan or we're talking Bruno Fernandez. I would be very, very careful just because I do think there's a possibility if an SBC does come out that gives out a guaranteed winter refresh player, these guys will drop a lot. Zlatan fluctuates like crazy. Anyway, Footbin right now is saying 936, he's 980. That's a crazy fluctuation for Zlatan, which I also think this card is still very overpriced considering his screen card is kind of similar to this, minus for like a pace boost, I think, and some other boosts. But the boosts aren't that big and the screen card's 100K. So honestly, I really think this card's price is up because of the links. Now he actually has decent links being with Milan. So that helps him a lot. Erickson as well, I guess, if you're looking to get this guy for your team. My brother, my counterpart, my twin, Christian Erickson. If you do see him at like 175,000 coins, what did his graph look like today? Let me check out Erickson's graph for you guys really quick. He's 200K right now, he's 188 on the Xbox. What did he hit today? He was 240 this morning, he was 196, 177. So he really hasn't moved much. But if you see this drop, another 20, 20, 25,000 coins on either console and you do want it for the team, that would probably be a buy for me. Of course, these cards are not live items. Please remember that. These cards are not live items in the game. They're not gonna get upgraded. They have a permanent upgrade with their permanent whatever is going on. So just so that you know, those are not live items in this game right now. So I wanted to point that out. That was basically all the content that we got today, boys. We got an updated Trossard objective as well. So that was a bit of a rip. Unless you are grinding this Premier League player Trossard, you'll get yourself an 87 rated version of him. Where's that right there? 87 rated Trossard. It looks like a nice card, but just too much grinding in my opinion to attain those cards. It's just not fun to have to grind this much to attain a card of that level. It's yes, it's a good card, but the grind is just not worth it. You can go out and buy Leroy Sane for 40,000 coins and he'll be just as good in my opinion as that Trossard. So one other thing I wanna point out is I saw this on Twitter. Shout out to UniqueRiggers on Twitter, on the Twitter, whatever you call it, for tweeting this out. I guess EA updated some informs today. So they updated Thurum's inform. Obviously this was an 81 rated card, I think. Let's actually go check this out really quick because I think this was an 81 rated card before he got an update. Yes, Footbin hasn't even updated his card yet. So he got the upgrade to an 80 rated gold and they upgraded his inform from an 81 to an 84. So you can see he got plus one pace. He got plus three shooting. He got a plus one physical, plus two passing. So again, just kind of an okay upgrade, but it makes him an 84 rated inform. So I guess on the market, I don't know what his price would be, but this could be a possible investment opportunity if he has not been adjusted in price yet for being hit this rating. How much is Thurum's inform? He is currently 17,000 coins. That's definitely not cheap for an 84 rated inform, but it's a pretty rare. It's from an earlier on team of the week, was it like team of the week three or something? Does it say in the game here? Team of the week, team of the week. Now it doesn't say, but anyways, this is from a pretty early on team of the week. So if you see him at like maybe 14, 15K, that would not be a bad inform to club stock for future SBCs, just cause he's gonna be a rare inform on this game. But again, if you have weak and weak rewards today, good luck if you're interested in looking at any of these winter refresh cards and possibly buying them after today. During weekly rewards, I think is your time, if you wanna invest in some of these, will I be buying any? Maybe one or two. If I buy any, it's probably gonna be this Schultz card. I might try to snag him, club stock him. If there's any others that really interest me, it would probably be Cornette, Ake, Areola and Van Anholtz, maybe Mateus Cunha as well. Just because I think it's really interesting to me that this guy has maintained such a high price so far. If we can look at this really quick at the end of the video today, Mateus Cunha has really maintained a pretty high price. He's right around 200,000 coins for a Brazilian striker in the Bundesliga, which you know, this card is solid, right? This is a pretty solid card, but he's four star, four star, medium, medium. I don't feel like he's really amazing though. He's good, but he's not really amazing. So maybe I'm missing something here with this card, but I think it's just the lack of the Brazilians in the Bundesliga for linkage. That this card is just a cool card as well. And he's got the League SBC card that has been hyped up his name for a while this year. So maybe that's why you're seeing this card's price inflated a little bit. But again, if you want anybody from this team of winter refresh cards, make sure you keep your eyes out for them during Weekend League Rewards today. Again, good luck. I said that like three times, ready with GLs if you're opening those. And yeah, we will have to see what this new promo is in the next few days. It's always interesting to me when they dropped these loading screens so early. Like today they dropped it on Wednesday. I really think they dropped it because they put it out on accident. I don't think this loading screen was actually supposed to come today, but it was somehow it got on Twitter. People saw it and they put it into the game too early for some reason. And I just think that right now where we see this, we're gonna get that promo this weekend. And you know what? EA maybe leaked it a little bit early, but whatever, this winter refresh promo has been pretty dead anyway, to be honest. So whatever happens, happens. And we'll be looking out for that new promo on Friday. If it is Footplayer Days, GGs, if it's something totally new, then that's fine with me as well. So we'll see what comes this Friday in terms of the new promo on foot. Every single Friday, man, a new promo. That's the EA way, boys. It's the EA way. If you enjoyed this video, smash the thumbs up on it. Comment down below if you have any questions and subscribe to the channel. If you're new, it's been Nate the Foot Accountant.
