 Hey guys, it's Nate A.K. the foot accountant. Welcome back to the channel. We need to talk about day number one, what happened with shape shifters two. The squad number two for shape shifters is out. We had an SBC today. We had an objective as expected. I mean, today on foot basically went exactly as we would have planned, right? I think a lot of stuff that I said in yesterday's video happened today. We did get an SBC player. We did get an objective. We got a new team in packs. And those cards that everybody thought was gonna be coming out based on what they had shown on the loading screen with Ronaldo, Trent Alexander Arnold and Conte were correct. So people went three for three on that loading screen. But the full team today, there's some big name players in this team. I have some thoughts about it, but overall, I think this team of shape shifters that came out today, set number two, is a pretty solid set of cards. So in this video today, I wanna talk about that set of cards. I wanna talk about the content that we got today, some of the market movements. And then of course, right now as I'm recording this, we just got man of the match cards in foot. We have Havertz, Fred, Tousart, Gabriel Jesus, Nabri, and Cece are some of the ones that I've seen so far, these have just came out. Really interesting position changes with these. Nabri on the left side, Gabriel Jesus on the left side. Fred is a CDM. And then Havertz at right forward, which is very interesting with some of these position change, man of the match cards that we do have. Again, this is just some, I don't understand why EA does not ever release or tell us when these cards are in packs because they do this every week. Late Friday night, they just randomly drop these cards into the game and that is what it is. I would be expecting UCL and Europa League rode to the finals to be upgraded tonight as well, but that hasn't happened yet at this time. So I do need to talk about this shape shifter squad though because we got a pretty beastly squad today. This is a, I think this might be the first promo this year where the second squad has been better overall than the first. I know this squad doesn't have those, you know, the last squad we had guys that were, you know, we had Nandes and we had Keynes, right? Those guys were under 100,000 coins, pretty cheap cards that you could use and that you could, you know, a lot of people could throw into their squads, right? Well, this time around, we've got the big guns and I think a lot of people are fans of these cards that came out today. We've got Trent Alexander-Arnold, the center mid position change. This is where Charleston looks nuts. Five-star skills and a, four-star skills and a five-star weak foot. This card looks absolutely incredible alongside with the card that so many people have been wanting for so long in this game, Bronc Riberti with a five-star, five-star, high-medium work rates. This dude looks like a monster. This is a card that people are gonna be using for the rest of this game and if I kinda have to compare it to like a hype card that has been released in the game so far, I think I would compare it to Holland. I think that this card has the hype that a card like Holland has. Just because of his, he wasn't in the game, people thought he should be getting a flashback SBC and now he finally has a card, Bronc Riberti. So we're pretty pumped about that. Context, the center back card is interesting. I don't know, you know, if you're gonna play him in the center back, you're probably not gonna end up using him there. This Alaba card is fantastic. Mendy is a CDM, is really interesting. I'm curious to see what people had to say about this because he's a very OP card to begin with but I'm not so sure how he will play in the midfield. But I'm curious to see what people have to say about that. But overall, this squad is just, it's a solid, solid squad, a lot of big names in here and I think EA did a good job with this. So hopefully we continue to get good content throughout this week as well. The one question that I have is why is this squad only made up of 10 players? Why is there no 11th player or I just don't know what's going on with that because in all of the other promos we have had a full set of 11 at least in both squads and this one right here, we do not. So I'm kind of interested to see what happens with that. Hopefully that means they're gonna give us maybe a couple extra SPC players. Throughout the week this week, that would be fantastic. Speaking of SPC players, we got Footmist, or not Footmist, man. Zacaria, shapeshifters Zacaria. Why didn't I say Footmist? Did he have a Footmist SPC at one point? Maybe that's what it was. It's just ingrained in my mind. But this card right here, dudes, I don't know if you can tell, they are dropping tons and tons of Bundesliga cards lately. We have Alaba, we have Rashika, we have Zacaria right here right now, especially the Bundesliga centerbacks. I think I tweeted this out today when I tweeted the promo team that we've had since the entry of Future Stars Kabak into this game, we've had so many Bundesliga centerbacks that have come out via either SPC, the milestones, or the season progress cards. But this is another one today. Zacaria has come out, really beastly looking card, another 200,000 coin SPC, which is what this card will cost you right now. You do get tradable packs back, rare electrum, and a prime mixed. Not really sure if that one's entirely worth it. I think that David Alaba's card might be a little bit better in some ways. Low high work rates on this. Three star, three stars, all right. Agility and balance is all right. It just looks like a really, really strong card. So I don't know if I would do that Zacaria, but that is the SPC that we did get today. I think EA likes dropping these. This is like their optimal price point for an SPC. I don't know if they've really found this out and used their metrics that they see that makes these, trying to figure out which SPC's people complete. But if you think about the past three player SPC's that we have gotten, which are this is Zacaria, player moments Joshua Kimmich, and Flashback Aspiliqueta. All of these cards have been right around that 200,000 coin price threshold. So EA might have found something they like there with that threshold. And I guess we're gonna continue to see SPC's released at that price range. We also got a, not a Flashback, I almost said a Flashback, this man. I got my card types all messed up today. Foot shapeshifters, Bartra. So obviously this is the center back card. They moved them up to Striker. Very interesting looking card. Am I gonna grind for this one? Probably not. I think the Acunia looked better to me if you were to grind either of these two. I think Acunia did look a little bit better to me just in terms of, just in terms of what stuff was on his card and how usable he is. But this is a cool card at least, to say the least if you're grinding him and then you can get a shapeshifter's player pick number two. So you can try out some of the shapeshifters on loan again, so I do rate that. I do rate that right there. But again, shapeshifters promo today, again, it's just another Friday promo. That's honestly how I feel about this. We've sat here so many times on a Saturday. Saturday morning or Friday night and thought about the new promo that has come out the day before and what's cool about it and everything and honestly, it just feels like another Friday promo that EA has released on this game. Special cards and packs and SBC and an objective and that's kind of all that we got. I mean, we got really good player selection today. And the curious thing that I wanna know is, does it say when these cards are going out of packs? Because I think that is important as well. Wow, okay, so this second squad is in packs for a full seven days. Interesting, I thought that this promo might be over on Tuesday, but it looks like for these last couple promos we've had, they're going full two weeks on these promos. So that's interesting at the moment that they're kind of sticking to these two promos. Yeah, that's, you know, how do I rate today out of 10? I would maybe give today like a, maybe a seven out of 10 because I feel like we got a really, really solid amount. Just the hype players, right? With the RiBiRi, with the Richarlison. This Venetius card might be one of the most laughable prices. I think I've seen a lot of people on Twitter I think agree with me on this one. But the fact that this card is 600,000 coins is still ridiculous. He was like a million coins right away. This card was around a mill and this should not be a 600,000 coin card. Obviously, I think people remember his card from last year. They realize he does have the five star skills, the four star weak foot. He was fantastic last year. I packed his future stars last year if you guys were around with me then but this card is just not a 600,000 coin worthy card. So for all of these at the moment I would definitely look to see these dropping throughout the rest of the week because these cards are gonna be in packs for a full week just like set one. And I think they're gonna have some similar movements as set one did. I wanna take a moment to actually speak about set one for a second. Set one, let me show you guys this because shapeshifter set one has absolutely flown out of packs. If you got in on any of these investments, G frickin G, Mahrez, 330,000 coins. Condogbia was like 90,000 coins. He's not 109, Atal was 410,000 at rewards. He's now 516, Aitbauer was like 115,000 rewards. He's up, Lukus is under 300, and Babu has flown. Again, all of the cards that are related to the Bundesliga in form Neuer is crazy high in price right now. This in Babu card is up, I wanna say almost like 100,000 coins. Am I right? Yeah, he's up over 100K from where he was on Thursday thanks to all the stuff coming out from the Bundesliga. So again, they've gone heavy Bundesliga which is pretty interesting that they have gone so heavy with that stuff. But if you invested any of those, G frickin Gs, other than that, what happened on the market today? I went ham trading with some of these icons. One of my best days overall on foot from all of these cards right here. I mean, this card alone was 400,000 coins a profit. I bought this at 1.6 million coins during lightning rounds. I saw it listed on the 59th minute fresh. I was able to snag it and relisted and this sold first hour at 2.13. So that was a fantastic trade. One of my best icon flips this year in foot 20 and I haven't been doing it that much this year but I've been really doing it the past two weeks and it's paid dividends big time for me. I've made tons and tons of coins the past couple of weeks flipping these moments cards which a lot of them went up today. This Verone card during the week this week and I'm gonna show you guys some graphs right now. I wanna talk about this a little bit. These cards were packed today because there were lighting rounds that came out but a lot of these cards actually rose. They actually rose. Now he's down a little bit more from where he was right now and you see this happen a little bit with some of the icons on their fluctuations on a Friday night. But take a look at what Verone was before Thursday rewards. He was 1.045 and if you look at the daily graph he was around 1.1 for Wednesday and Thursday and I remember seeing this guy like 1.05, 1.04, 1.03 and multiple points in the past couple of days. What happened today is he did have a low point of like 112 but he kind of went up after Thursday rewards and he went even higher this evening up to 1.23 mil and a lot of these cards had fluctuations like that. Vanessa Roy was another one. You saw that I traded with one of those prime icon moments. A lot of these rose up in price today. Vanessa Roy was like 1.15 I think on Thursday. Yeah right in here, most of the Thursday 1.1s. He rose up some after rewards to 1.2. Again he was down this morning to 1.1s and then boom, he's back over into the 1.2s, 1.2 highs. I just sold one at 1.267. So a lot of these icon moments, the really usable ones have increased in price a little bit this weekend which I find pretty interesting which you think that this game is quote unquote dying or dead but it just goes to show today that there were people on the game and that there were people buying cards and getting ready for Weekend League and that just shows me that there are people still involved and interested in this game even when you have a striker card come out, multiple striker cards in this new team, right? With the Ribery, with the Retralison some people might be playing a striker. Those kind of cards that are gonna steal the hype from a lot of other strikers. You even saw some of these other icon moment strikers rise up with them. So kind of impressed with that. Just kind of gives me a little bit extra faith in the market than maybe I didn't have before I guess on some of that stuff. Other special cards definitely rebounded today. If you were flipping, I mentioned this in my video yesterday, meta informs from popular leagues, especially if you picked a Bundesliga. I actually wanna check this card out right now. Leon Goretzka, how much is he? Because we just got two German man of the match cards. Yeah, this guy is up man, 100,000 coins. After or when the Kimmich SBC came out, this guy dipped down to like 70K. He's now over 100, partially due to the Bundesliga hype. But I also think just because this card is pretty usable and you know, it's Goretzka, right? Big name, big name in the Bundesliga as a center mid. There's only a few center mids in this game that you could use, especially in this price range for the kind of stats you're gonna get with this Goretzka card. So I am impressed with some of the market movements that did happen today. There was a lot of rebound. And again, that just makes me happy to see some of those things on the market. Taking a break from the market talk for just a second. I wanna look at this tweet today that EA released about the pitch notes, right? About the pitch notes. They dropped a new set of pitch notes today talking about the online connectivity and responsiveness efforts. So I just wanna take a quick minute or so and talk about this and my thoughts on this. Cause this is actually really interesting. So it looks like they're putting some work into this. Right, this pitch notes is gonna be informed on potential connectivity and responsiveness change. Packet loss week, wifi signal and more. I actually have not read up on this, but this is the most interesting thing. Look at this, right here. Current studies and next steps. We're currently running a live study for small backend change related to button responsiveness, which you need to measure the real world impact of. In the coming weeks, we will be adding an in-game button overlay for a select number of players we are partnering with. So I don't know who this is. If this is one of you guys, let me know because I really don't know what's going on or who's got one of these. Maybe I'll try to hop into game and see if I've got the button overlay on my screen, which might be a little bit of annoying, but it's not, doesn't look like it's in your way too much. But you know what? I can't bash EA for this, I guess. I haven't read this whole article yet. I'm not gonna spend a lot of time talking about it because I don't wanna spend a lot of time talking about it until I actually see change and actually see things changing in the game. But you know what? If they're putting an article out like this and they're doing something like that, that makes me think that they're actually, maybe putting some effort into this. So I'm gonna give them the benefit of the doubt right now until with still the hope of seeing something changing and hopefully that does start to, this stuff that they're doing does start to pan out and we actually get to see a tangible evidence of things changing in the game. So hopefully over this weekend, we also get to see some continued good content from or as a part of the shapeshifters promo, right? Of course we have these upgrade SBCs that are still out. Take your chance. Take your chance at doing a couple of these, either the 80 plus or the 81 plus, try to pack yourself one of these new shapeshifters, see if you can get lucky with one of those and hopefully we continue to get player SBCs. Of course, we had the Zecharia last, for the first week, we only had two last week and I think they came in the first day or one came on Sunday. But we had the Mkhitaryan and the Olaza. So hopefully we get this Zecharia, hopefully we get some other, maybe two or three more throughout the rest of this week. That'd be nice. And then just some other SBCs as well. Player SBCs, EA if you wanna drop that icon SBC, that would be perfect as well. Hopefully we see some of that stuff happening in the game this week. Again, I'm still waiting for these road to the final upgrades because last week when they upgraded these cards, it was around the same time that they dropped Man of the Matches. So I'm patiently waiting EA Sports for these to get upgraded but they might already be upgraded when you watch this video. But anyways, for today on the market, hopefully we get some new SBCs, new content, stuff like that on a Saturday. If you're playing Weekend League, good luck. Hit some upgrades if you would like to do that. And yeah, boys, hopefully you guys can get one of these shape-shifters in your squads. If you wanna try any of them out, actually let me know which one in this new squad are you most interested in trying out? I have a feeling it's gotta be ribbary but I think a lot of you guys are gonna be interested in that Alexander Arnold card and even Venetius because I think a lot of these guys, they're gonna drop to a more affordable range here in the next few days. I feel like Venetius, Alexander Arnold and then maybe even Alaba would be the ones that are on the budget, on the cheaper budget that people are gonna be trying out the most. So that's kind of my thoughts on today's content, the stuff that we got. And yeah, boys, if you have any comments of your own on this content, drop them down below in this video. And hopefully we get some fun stuff later this week in terms of content from EA Sports as a part of the shape-shifter promo as well. So if you enjoyed the video, smash the thumbs up on it and of course, subscribe to the channel if you are new. It's been Nate, The Foot Accountant. Catch you guys later, peace out.
