 Hey guys, it's Nate, AKA The Foot Accountant. Welcome back to the channel. Another Friday on FIFA Ultimate Team, and interestingly enough, didn't get a promo today. I don't know why the loading screen didn't load right there, but we still have this Foot Player Day's loading screen, which basically has started off with an SBC and it has started off with a new Icon Swaps. There wasn't a ton that came out today except for Icon Swaps, Chorezma, and of course, New Season Objectives. So I wanna talk about this stuff today. I wanna talk about Icon Swaps 3 because that is the information that is, you know, at the forefront of our minds at the moment. And, you know, I think the player selection is good, but I think the timing is the problem here. And we're gonna talk about that in a little bit today too. One thing I wanna note you guys with is we just got new UCL Man of the Match cards and a Europa League Man of the Match out on Geese as well. I think those are the only new cards that we got. I can't find any other new ones, but they literally just dropped and we also got updates too. Check your road to the Final Conat days. I think Angelina would have gotten upgraded as well. And then check your parties because party I think just got an upgrade to an 88 rated because his card was 87 before and this is a new dynamic image. So I think this card literally just got updated. Price range has gotten updated as well. If I'm correct on that, I haven't been following this card that much because honestly, the teams that won the first set of games in UCL weren't really projected to. I guess in the first grand scheme of things, like think about it, Atlanta won and they had an SBC Gomez. They barely even got to the tournament anyway. And here we are with illicitious headliner got an upgrade to a 90 rated after this 89 came out. So now this is his highest rated card with the headliner, 82 pace, 92 shooting. So there's probably a little bit of hype for this card but it's just not meta enough to be super duper good. Although I'm sure he's decent in game but I just wanted to inform you guys on some of this stuff. I'm kind of a fan of this Kempembe. We're gonna be watching this card's price over the next couple of days. I think Oblak and Kempembe are gonna be good out of packs investments as these man of the match cards almost always are in foot. So we'll be keeping a close eye on those. But again, back to icon swaps because this is the main content that we got today. And we've actually been seeing this happening when we've gotten icon swaps in the past. A lot of times when they're dropping this these new sets that they restart the season they drop a new icon swaps. We don't get a lot of other content. There was one Friday. I think it might have been icon swaps one where they messed up the release time. It was on a Friday where we actually got other content as well. But a lot of times what we're seeing here is when they drop these there's not a lot of other content that goes with it. And I wanna talk about this today because I think the season is the biggest problem here. I love this player selection is fine with me. Of course there are some big names that are left out Why do we need baby Zidane? Even if you would have made this middle Zidane I think this upper tier upper echelon the 21 plus tokens would have been you know, a little bit just that much more better. But I think the player selection here is good. I think this is good player selections. We have a prime Kaka. We have middle dog leash. We have Madadona. We have Rekelme, the brand new icon of foot. Petite, Canovaro, Birdcamp, Rush like that middle tier 15 to 20 tokens is I would argue that some of those players in there are almost just as equal to or better than the 21 plus range that we have with Carlos Alberto, Godincha and Zidane. And then in the six to 13 range as well we have some solid cards. Again, it is basically a couple middles. Of course you do have baby hola and baby Zidane but then you have a bunch of solid mids and then primes. And do we actually have any primes? Kaka and Godincha are the only primes in the set. And then after that there's a lot of moments. So I like that there's a lot of moments in this set but I just want to start talking about the timeframe for all this because unless any of these guys that are inside of this set of icon swaps if any of these players are your end game guy that you've wanted to have in your team for a long time or it's just somebody that you're a huge fan of and you want to have that card untradable if it's any other player especially if it's above 12 tokens, right? The first 12 tokens are available right now. If you're waiting for any of these players that is above 12 tokens or anything that is above what you can achieve right now with the objectives in game or even above this prime icon pack, you better be going all the way to the top or you better really want that kaka because 15, the first 12 tokens are out right now. This season is 83 days long so it's almost gonna take us into the end of foot. This is gonna take us for a long time, right? Just this first season right now, season five is 43 days. 42, 43 days, is that what it says in the top right? 42 days long is how long these icon swap tokens are gonna be here. Let me put that into perspective for you. We're almost going to be, well we actually are going to be in May. It's going to be May just about when these icon swaps are gonna be going away and we're gonna have the next set come in. So you can only attain 12 swaps right now which is, this is the biggest L for this in my opinion. If you could attain all 24 swaps in this 24 day period that would be fantastic. Again, I mean I guess EA wants to keep people involved with this game for the longer term but making this 41 days long I think it's just way too long for all this stuff. There's gonna be people that get this done in a week. There's gonna be people that get this done in two weeks. I think three weeks is basically all that this needs to be 21 days would be a perfect season time to get these 12 tokens. Especially with more people being on the game right now because of all the virus stuff that's going around and people have more free time, school is off, work is canceled, stuff like that, sports are canceled so people are getting on video games. But again, right now you can only get 12 tokens and if you're getting somebody that is above 12 tokens you have to wait another 40 days from now until you can even have a chance at getting any of the 12 plus token swap cards from this set. And again, that's the biggest, it's just too long of a wait to get any of these cards in my opinion. Although there are some quality ones, this Canavaro is what, 20 tokens? If you want an end game center back and you're okay with waiting until basically after team of the season or during team of the season to get this card then go, go for it man. If this is, again, if any of these cards over 12 tokens are somebody that you really, really want for your team and you're gonna be able to grind for it, then absolutely go for it. But if it's somebody that less than 12 tokens I'm gonna go for this Prime Icon pack because I cannot wait that long to try to get one of these players in my team. My player, my team isn't that insane, right? But once team of the season comes around I'm gonna be having tons of Tots cards in this side. We're gonna be doing upgrade packs for days and that's just one of my goals, right? And that's a lot of the logic behind my thinking of that why grind to get these icons unless it's somebody that you really, really want for personal reasons, just go with the pack. Just go with the pack because you can get this in a week or two, a Prime Icon player. Do you know the ability of some of the players in this game that you have to pack? We're talking Prime Hullet, we're talking Prime Eusebio. I mean there, anybody, there's tons of opportunity here to pack Prime cards. Prime Thierry Henry, I know it just clicked on the middle, but Prime Thierry Henry you could pack this card from that pack. Like it is very possible to get a very, very good poll from that pack. Now of course you could get yourself like Prime Gattuso or somebody that you don't really want or Prime Gary Linnaker, which wouldn't be the end of the world. So there are, the possibilities are endless, of course good and bad, but I'm gonna go with the pack because why not, just have a little bit of fun. We're at the stage of FIFA where if you're not having fun, then what's the point? Because this is towards the end of the year and it's just the time to have fun. I wanna make one more comment though. This Schmeichel card right here, this was an issue today. Again, this is the kind of stuff that just makes me upset with EA here. They can't follow their own rules basically. In the beginning of the year in their icon pitch notes they said that there would be no repeats in icon swaps. If a player featured in an icon swap one or two, they would not be featured in a later icon swaps. Baby Schmeichel was featured in icon swap set number one. So obviously people when they saw the moment Schmeichel today went out and were pretty upset because like, oh EA, this is not how it's supposed to be. And again, they kind of turned it back on the community with their answer and what they said was, if I could find it really quick, they said Peter Schmeichel's been removed from icon swap set three as he was included in set one. We have taken the decision to remove him from icon swaps in case some players would have made different selections in icon swaps one if they knew there was a potential to get him in icon swaps two or three. Well, yes, we would have made different selections, but when icon swap set one, we were under the belief that none of these guys would be repeated, right? So I don't understand why they're throwing this in there. Basically all they need to say is, we screwed up, we're gonna take him out. But instead they make this excuse that they kind of put it back on us that we would have chosen differently if there would have been other circumstances. Well, if you just follow the rules and the rules that you made for yourself in the first place, we wouldn't have this problem. Just saying. Anyways, that's enough of that. Icon swap set three though, again, overall, I like the player selection. If you're gonna go above 12 swaps, the most end game cards in here. I think if you need it right back, Zidane, no thanks. Like the baby version of a card for 24 swaps, 23 swaps, no thanks, not for me. Garincha is a very, very good card. Carlos Alberto is a very, very good card. Canavaro at 20 tokens. If you're up here in this 20 token range, it all depends on what you really need for your team. And it's a case-by-case basis for every single one of you because you look at your own team, you look at what you need, stuff like that. If you have played them up messy, you're probably not doing Garincha. If you have a team of the year Van Dyke and a team of the year Delik, you're probably not doing Canavaro. And maybe if you did Zanetti from one of the first icon swaps, maybe you don't wanna take Carlos Alberto. So you know what I mean? It's kind of a tough situation. Once you get up here to 20 tokens, Canavaro is probably a great pick. Carlos Alberto, if you need to write back, is fantastic. Petite is a rock in this game. You can play him as center back. But other than that, I think this might be one of the best value cards. 16 tokens for either one of these two attackers, Bergkamp or Rush. This Rush card got a fantastic boost. Of course, as you guys know from his prime card, that card is very, very hyped up. And then of course, if you just wanna use Kaka on your team, if your goal, if you're a Brazilian and you wanna get Kaka on your team for Lynx, this isn't terrible at 15 swaps as well. And if you're gonna go above 12 to get the center back Maldini, this is a pretty solid card in FIFA too. But if you're going anywhere around the 10 or nine or under swap range, just go with the icon pack. Seriously, just go with the icon pack, have some fun with it, unless you really want Trezeguet, Tuso, Lodrip or Puyol on your team. I think the icon pack is the way to go. When you factor in time and when you factor in just the worth of those cards, especially if you have a team that is anywhere near mine. I know a lot of you guys might not, but that's just kind of my thoughts on the icon swap situation. Other stuff that came in FIFA today. Not a lot of other content. Icon swaps again was kind of the main thing. We had Ricardo Chorisma flashback. Of course, he is in the Turkish League, but this is a FIFA favor. This is a throwback like he's a FIFA legend. Chorisma is 90 pace, 93 dribbling, five star skills with a four star weak foot. Trevella finishes, obviously a freaking sick player. And then of course, once they implement the new update to FIFA, we're gonna be able to see all of his traits in here. 93 agility, 90 balance, 96 aggression. So a really awesome super sub. If you have a Portuguese team and if you're a fan of Chorisma, then maybe you can slide him in at a right mid position. Maybe get a little link with like a Cancelo or Ricardo Pereira, a right back special card. Get a link to Chorisma and then maybe throw in a Portuguese icon somewhere else to link Chorisma either at like a striker or a center mid. If you have that at your availability, that's a pretty cool looking card. We didn't get anything else really today, did we? These are all older SBCs. The 84 to 91, we got a 83 rated plus, which I think this is just kind of a, they replaced the 81 plus with the 83 plus. So that is there. And then of course storyline as well. I wanna talk about this for a second. Season progress, storyline players, whatever you call it. Coin boost, some decent packs. A moments loan Maldini is cool. I assume that has something to do with a objective down the line. Campfire badge, dope. We have some pretty cool badges and themes and stuff in here. Del Pierro loan is sweet. That's a fun looking card. I wish this guy would have been in swaps but they already used his middle. Couple new celebrations. Some badges again, some packs. And then this is where it gets good. As an American, I love this card. I'm definitely gonna be choosing Josh Sargent, a up and coming youngster for the US. Three star, three star, decent looking card. Another Japanese Maeda. This guy looks freaking sweet, man. I don't know what it is this year with the Japanese cards getting into foot, or not foot swaps, but Milestone players storyline. I mean, this is awesome. Another storyline Japanese players. You can like almost fill out an entire Japanese special squad now with these storyline Japanese players, which is sweet. And then Thornsby as well. Pretty nice looking card all around center, mid, CDM in the Serie A. So that's a pretty solid reward I think against more badges and kits, celebrations. Anything looking really good here. Some animals, interesting. Let's dance celebration. What's this about? All right, not bad. We'll go with that. And then if you guys get all the way up here, boogie down, what's this? What's up with the dancing celebrations? This is crazy. Anyway, this is what everybody wants to get to. Level 30, the Fred Manchester United storyline player. High, high work rates, four star, four star. This is gonna be a very, very meta card. It's basically like a Tots-esque Fred. Not quite team of the season, but a really good card. There's gonna be so many people going after this. Brazilian Lynx will reign king in a couple weeks here as people can get to level 30. Baladi looks like a sick card as well. Carrasco looks really dope too, but this guy's gonna have the hype. He's Manchester United, of course, he's Brazilian. Tons of people are gonna be getting this card and using him throughout the end of the game. If you guys grind to level 30, that's gonna be by far the number one choice for sure. But so that's a cool card right there in my opinion as well. But that was kinda it for today's content, honestly. But there are a couple of things that I wanna talk about to finish off this video, which is some very interesting information that it's going to affect us. Based on the virus and the stuff that's going on, it's gonna affect FIFA Ultimate Team content. And I wanna talk you guys through that. So, EAP for Direct tweeted this a couple hours ago. They said, we will not be releasing Team of the Week 27 due to the ongoing suspensions of football leagues around the world. However, it will be replaced with player content available in packs and via foot champions player picks from next week going forward, basically. This is an ever-changing situation. One we're working hard to adapt to as we move forward. We'll have more information on this and other upcoming content next week. So, first of all, EA Sports, I appreciate the communication here. This is awesome. And I'm glad that you are actually communicating. So thank you about, thank you for that. We appreciate that. But this intrigues me. We will be replacing player content available in packs and foot champions player picks from next week. So basically, we're gonna have Team of the Week 27 next week, and it's gonna be made up of whatever the heck EA wants it to be made up of. Is that new? Not really, because Team of the Week every week is technically made up by EA. They just kinda have to make it fit within a certain boundary of who played well or who played semi-well that we can throw into Team of the Week this week. So they're used to doing that. They're used to creating a Team of the Week every week. But what are they gonna do with this? In my opinion, I think they're gonna be re-releasing old cards from old Team of the Weeks, from old special teams. I don't know if this is really gonna be new content. I would like to see a mix of this with new content. What I would really love to see, and you guys have talked about this before, is seeing new promo cards and seeing the promo cards, like last week we had Copa Libertatores, right? Maybe throw some Libertatores cards as red picks, and then mix Libertatores and Team of the Week as red picks. They did some of that stuff last year during Team of the Season. They did Team of the Season in red picks. I think it'd be cool at this stage of the game to start doing some of that now. But this is gonna have some big time market implications if they do start throwing in old cards from old Team of the Weeks back into packs, of course. That means a card that is out of packs is now back in packs, means supply coming onto the market, and probably some prices dropping. So this is another way where we could be affected by the market this week. And of course they're gonna be providing more information going forward. We're not gonna really know what they plan to do with this stuff until they go forward. But if you guys are playing the weakling this weekend, whatever your awards will be, I'm interested in that. You know what, I'm actually gonna register because I think that it's gonna, I wanna be a part of it. I want to be a part of the Weekend League. Registration ends in five hours, 16 minutes. All right, we're good. I wanna get the red picks because I just wanna see what they do. I'm curious to see what they do this week with Weekend League Awards and that's my entire desire for wanting to play at Weekend League. And I would recommend if you guys have the time, maybe you have extra time this week because of no school or whatever. Maybe go for it. Maybe give it a shot and see if you can get, you know, 14 wins, gold three, and then whatever they put into packs for rewards, you have that opportunity to pack those cards. So that's just kind of my thoughts on that. And then lastly, a short little blurb about EAs as a company about what they're doing for coronavirus. I don't know if this is gonna impact FIFA, but I wanna scroll down here. I read through all of this and I wanna just kind of highlight something for you. They said they've been working on it basically for a while the past couple of months. The locations already have been closed. Teams are working from home. But as of today, which this was tweeted on Friday. So as of Friday, we have transitioned to strongly recommending that all of our employees in North America, Europe and Australia work from home until April 1st to help limit the potential exposure and the spread of the illness. So EA is going to be working from home until April 1st as of right now. So this is gonna be interesting to know and to see how that affects our content and game, how that affects our availability of FIFA accounts and stuff like that. I'm really curious to see what happens over the next couple of days. If this changes content at all, if we get more communication because of this, if we get less communication because of this, it's all just gonna have to be kind of a wait and see type of thing until we actually start to see some of this pan out and see what EA decides to do with the opportunity and with the situation that is presented before us. But it's gonna be interesting to follow regardless. And of course, once EA continues to post about it, we'll just kind of figure out information and stuff like that. But again, speaking of communication, these man of the match UCL cards tonight were not tweeted about. They were not tweeted about when they were dropped. These live upgrades were not tweeted about when they were dropped as well. So actually, I don't know if that's upgraded yet. I don't know if that's upgraded yet, to be honest. That might not be upgraded. He might have just gotten a new dynamic image. Those card sets might be the same, as I'm thinking about it now. But these are definitely new cards. And if these are not upgraded, again, I haven't watched this card that much, then we will see the upgrade in the very near future. But again, have yourself a good look at the icon swap set three. Really think hard before you're set in stone about a decision. I'm definitely going for the prime icon pack. I would love to have that within a week because I think that's the best value. You can get it short, quick, within a couple of weeks at the very longest, and you'll have a prime icon pack, chance to pack a big card. Of course, you're taking a chance, but it's the point of the game where you might as well. So that's my feelings on icon swap three, today's content, and some of the other coronavirus stuff that is going on. It's going to impact our game. We'll talk more about that later this weekend in an upcoming videos. Of course, as we get more information as well. If you enjoyed today's video, smash the thumbs up on it. Let me know down in the comments who you guys are taking from icon swaps. If you have somebody that you really want to take, if you're a huge Hullet guy and you just want to get Hullet in your team, 10 swaps for Hullet, okay? If you're a Lampard fan, go get your Lampard. Kaka, go get him. So just tell me what you guys are thinking about down below. If you're somebody who grinds all of the tokens, some people are saying that Maldini, so the 24 tokens, people are saying that Maldini and the pack might be the best way to go. 13 tokens and nine, so you get to 22 there. You could even go Kaka in the pack, technically, right? Because if there's 24 swap tokens available, nine swaps and 15, so you could go Kaka in the pack if you really wanted to and get both of those. So there's something you could do if you want to do a little double up situation if you're going to grind all the swaps. But let me know in the comments what you're going to be going for with those and of course, subscribe to the channel. If you are new, it's been Nate, The Foot Account, and I will catch you guys later. Peace out.
