 Hey guys, it's Nate, AKA the Foot Account, and welcome back to the channel. This loading screen right here says it all. Foot birthday is confirmed. It is coming to FIFA 22 on Friday. This is the car design, and there's a couple hints in this loading screen, along with some leaks on Twitter that I wanna take a look at today, impacting the market already as people are preparing for this very high anticipated promo, right? Foot birthday is a promo that everybody loves in FIFA, and it's coming early this year. We weren't sure after yesterday's video with the leak starting to come out. It seems really early compared to normal, but it is confirmed now, of course, not just by leaks, but by EA themselves that foot birthday is this Friday. So the market is starting to get prepared for that. I wanna take a look at some prices that have dropped, but some also areas to watch for this weekend because foot birthday is a promo that brings the hype in terms of content. So that's gonna mean that a lot of fodder is gonna be moving, I think over the next couple of weeks. And in this weekend in general, I think there might be opportunities with that, along with the rest of the market as this promo drops. So we're gonna talk about all of that today and more heading into Thursday on FIFA 22 Ultimate Team. So if you're excited for foot birthday again, hit the thumbs up on the video and subscribe if you are new. Let's get right into it and look at the loading screen because there's actually, back in the good old days, when we didn't have leaks every single week telling us what the promo was gonna be, we kinda had to deduce what EA was hiding in these loading screens. Now I'm gonna hide my face cam here for a second and show you what is behind. You see the boot, the boot with the five stars on it. That confirms what we thought was gonna be happening, that this is going to be a five star skill, five star week foot based promo just like it was last year in FIFA 21. Also you see a lot of 13s in this screenshot as well on this loading screen. That is because this is the 13th year of FIFA Ultimate Team. It's crazy how time flies. But that's why the 13s are everywhere on the car design which is, this is the official design right here. And then of course you've got the cake down here in the bottom right. You've got the stars in other parts of the screen as well. So that's kind of what we see right now. Now today on Thursday, we might see an update to this. Sometimes as they do, they tease players here on the loading screen. They might give us some cards with some nations or some stats, you know, positions, stuff like that. But we do have a couple of leaks already of what to expect in this promo, right? From our trusty source, Mr. Foot Sheriff on Twitter. There's I think three solid leaks that we have as of right now for players. Now this one is an objective. And starting off, you look at this Tammy Abraham objective card and you're like, okay, either five star skills or five star week foot, that's pretty cool. But the stats on this card really don't look that great if I'm being completely honest, right? So hopefully the stats are a little bit better than this unless these are confirmed. But that card right there looks, it just looks okay. And you know, the cards are to leak so far. That's the one that looks the worst. So don't read into that too much. Here's another one, Bruno G. I'm just gonna call it Bruno G because I cannot say this guy's name. The Brazilians get very upset with me if I do. He's coming as an SBC during football birthday. Of course, a brand new transfer to Newcastle. That's gonna be a very interesting card for Premier League links and Brazilian links, right? A lot of people still running that flashback Neymar trying to fit him in their Brazilian slash Premier League teams. This card could be pretty good. He was a future stars item last year. If these are confirmed stats, which I don't know if it says that they are, I would love to see a little bit more pace. I mean, he needs to be Hullett gang, right? So that's one thing we'd like to see is a little bit better stats, but that's a pretty cool card for a birthday item. And then this is the big one. This is the big one, Celas. And this is a confirmed card. Stats are official, 95 agility. Five star, five star is the hope, right? Because again, this promo is if a card has five star skills, then they usually boost the five star weak foot on the other side of that, right? Or if a card has a five star weak foot, then they usually boost him up to five star skills. So a five five Celas would be sounding like it could be a potential this weekend. Either in packs as an SBC, not entirely sure it's not leaked yet, but Celas is getting a card and that has got everybody very, very excited on this game. So those are the main leaks. Now those, I think we can believe in a decent amount and expect to see those cards. This list right here is a list that's been floating around, hasn't really been confirmed that much. I'm gonna drop the link to this down below in the description, but these are some of the names that have been floating around as a part of the Foot Birthday leaked team. Suarez, Firmino, DiBala, Fakir, Greelish, Odegaard, Rubenvezel, Celas, Nudelmans, Guerrero, and Inditi. And you look at this team and honestly this reminds me of last year's Foot Birthday, right? It doesn't remind me of like FIFA 19 and FIFA 20 where EA absolutely knocked it out of the park. This kind of reminds me of last year's Foot Birthday where, yes, there's a lot of cool cards in here, right? Firmino doesn't have any specials this year. DiBala just got a man of the match, but before that, hadn't had any specials. Suarez has the rule breaker. Fakir, of course, has the SBC, but this is an even better item. Greelish just has the ones to watch. Odegaard doesn't have many specials. So Nudelmans has zero specials so far. So there's some cool players in here, but it's not insane, right? Again, as I mentioned, it really reminds me of last year where we had some really cool cards like Ferland-Mendi that was really hype. We had Sane, Position Change. We had Lucas, which was a very hyped card. Tiago and Mario Hormoso were nice cards as well, but it wasn't like absolutely in your face incredible, huge names for a promo team. But again, the five star weak foot and the five star skill aspect to all of these players will carry some weight, right? And that is always something that people like as promo cards in this game. So again, I'll put this link down below in the description if you wanna take a look at it a little bit closer. I wouldn't read into that too terribly much yet until we see some more confirmation, which we probably will have some more leaks today. So keep an eye on Twitter per usual. We do not have a card design yet added into the game. Hopefully that card design is added right away on Friday though, so that we don't end up waiting for it to be dropped once the actual promo drops this weekend. But of course, with all the leaks, with the loading screen, people know that Foot Birthday is coming. Silver Star series is on the out and out. I think a lot of people are gonna be glad to get back into the regular swing of things on the market in terms of not just having like a dead week in terms of meta cards for teams and stuff like that. We had a pretty big team of the week yesterday because of the Mbappe special card that was included. He got really rare tonight and it's kind of gone up at price before rewards. I bought one of these at 2.5 and sold it at 2.8 mil. So that was a really good flip. But a lot of the market has actually started to slide downwards in price just a little bit because of course, people have seen some of these cards that are leaked and they've seen that Foot Birthday is confirmed and they've started to sell because of it, right? Case in point is this Riyadh Mars Road to the Final, which is actually back up a little bit. He was 1.05 mil just yesterday and right now he's down to about 990. He was actually lower than that before. He was like 970, I think, at one point. And as you take a look across the market, especially because of that sea loss card, you did see a little bit of panic selling on your higher tier right mids, Ferrant Torres. His Future Stars item was another one that really dropped a lot. He was down at like 820K at one point yesterday. He's back to 870, 880, but you had some of your mid to high tier right mids get sold off a little bit more. And then in general, you did see the market kind of tail off just a little bit because people know about Foot Birthday, right? People get excited about it. Of course, we're gonna keep a close eye on Road to the Final cards this weekend because we have Champions League games next week and a lot of people are still looking for these cards and watching them for the potential upgrades that could come. Durante is down like 20, 30K. Mane is down like 50K. But for a high budget card, that's not a crazy movement. You just have a lot of the market is really just down a tiny bit, really not a lot. But I think once the actual Foot Birthday promo comes out, since the market has been so high over the past week, actually two weeks, to be completely honest, with the way that the content has gone, it's really gonna come down to the SBC content. If this is the actual team or if this is close to the actual team, yes, these cards are pretty cool. Yes, the pack weight should be decently high for some of these players. I remember Foot Birthdays last year were semi-cheap cards, right? They were hyped with the five-star skills, five-star skill moves, or weak foot and skill moves. I just said skill moves twice. But it's gonna come down to the pack weight a little bit with some of these cards too. But in general, I would expect the market today, maybe to have a couple fluctuations, of course, because it's Rewards Day and some Rewards Days people go out and buy cards for their teams. But I would expect the market to continue to see some small drops into the weekend, maybe a bit of a bigger drop on Friday as the actual promo is released, especially if you get some crazy news about stuff that would be coming, or there's a lot of variables that always could happen on any given promo Friday or promo weekend that could drop the market a decent amount. And I feel like we've had a high market for the past couple of weeks. So that's especially why I was advising some of you guys to sell if you wanted to take the cash on items earlier this week, because that was the high point, right? Tuesday, Monday, Tuesday was the high point. You can see Cancelo was 890. Now he's down to 850. That's just one example of a card. I think this stuff drops lower. I'm honestly thinking that it does for most of the cards on the market. I do think that a lot of these will drop a little bit lower. Not a crazy market crash unless EA has something nuts up their sleeve. But I do think that you will continually see some slow moving drops throughout the weekend if the foot birthday content is pretty hype. Now, usually it is, and this is one thing I wanna mention about foot birthday content. I wanna look at last year's SBCs. This could be a promo that really could drain some coins off of the market in a pretty spectacular fashion because of course you think about it, right? Foot birthday, you think birthday, you think gifts, you think party bags, right? And foot birthday in general has been a party bag heavy promo in the past few years. Take a look at last year's SBCs. We had the 81 plus player pick. 80 plus, 86 plus double upgrade. We had all of the daily or pack supply SBCs, they weren't quite daily. But birthday candles, we had a pinata SBC, we had the anniversary celebration cake frosting, birthday wish, little pack supply SBCs like that. But look at what these are giving out. Prime gold players pack, premium electrum players pack, premium gold players pack. Those are solid SBCs. Then of course we had the player SBCs from every single year of FIFA Ultimate Team. We had the Royce, we had the Gervino, right? And then you see the party bags, right? I think we had three party bags during the foot birthday promo. There's one, there's two, and there's three. Three different party bags during that promo, 82 to 88 upgrade to 83 plus double upgrade. And that's just kind of, that's just how this promo goes, right? It's all about the gamble packs. This is probably gonna be very similar to future stars where they were running those gamble pack SBCs like almost every day, whether it's a year in review type, player pick, whether it's an 85 times three like we had earlier this week. That's the kind of content that I would expect to see a lot during foot birthday. A lot of those little gamble SBCs that'll cost you like 50 to 100K that a lot of people want to do because oh my goodness, you never know what I might pack. You know how those go, right? We've gotten used to those this year. By the way, this isn't terrible value as fodder drops into Friday. I know that this expires on Friday. But if you want to craft this, maybe you get your rivals rewards today, craft this up, get it done, and then you have an 85 times three for foot birthday this weekend. That's not a bad thing to do. Of course, that what if factor of could I pack a promo card is really why you want to do this SBC. But the content during foot birthday is going to be pretty good. Even if the cards that are in packs aren't the most insane items ever, they're still going to be pretty hyped because of those five star skill move, five star week foot upgrades. But it's really going to come down to the SBC content. And if it's as good as last year or on par, then foot birthday is going to be a pretty high promo, especially with the swaps program that is leaked to be a part of foot birthday as well. That would make, that'd be another reason to think that foot birthday would be a really, really good promo once again in this year. Now, as we just talked a lot about SBCs, SBC fodder has continually dropped. And we talked about this Monday and Tuesday as well. That was the peak sell time for a lot of those cards as well. You see 88s like Tony Cruz are now, wow, they're dropping off a lot tonight before rewards with everybody knowing that what is coming this weekend packs apply. Cruz is 33,000 coins. He was 43,000 coins on Tuesday. Literally in like 24 to 36 hours, this card has dropped down like 10K in value. It's crazy to see how these have dropped off because people are waiting for this upcoming promo and there's not as much SBC demand as the SBCs have really slowed down. And yeah, you just have a lot of people that are waiting for this upcoming promo. But this weekend is going to be an incredible time, like we just mentioned with all the SBCs that we would expect to come, the gamble packs specifically. It's going to be a great weekend to watch fodder. It's going to be a fantastic weekend, especially Friday, especially Friday and Saturday. Depending on what SBCs we have on the promo content drop, there's going to be so many saved up packs. That's what I'm trying to say, saved up packs. That's going to bring in a ton of supply on Friday. So definitely keep an eye on fodder. If you sold it this week and you're ready to get back in, there's going to be a huge potential to do some of that this weekend with the mid tier, the high tier. You think EA's going to not have icon upgrade SBCs available during this promo? There's no way that they're going to let any of these icon upgrades expire, right? They keep dropping the mid icon player pick. This is the third time that we've had it now. We still have the prime icon upgrade that was out here as well. So I would imagine that, especially with icon moments coming out this weekend, we're going to continue to see some of these icon upgrade SBCs, not like an icon moments upgrade pack quite yet. Maybe we get to that icon moments, like a prime or moments pack. That still would be a couple of weeks down the line, I think. But with the icon moments coming out and maybe an icon moments SBC in the next couple of weeks as well, EA is still going to keep those, the mid player pick or the prime upgrade pack. Maybe they would step their way up to a mid or prime player pick. That could be the next step as a part of foot birthday. Those are going to continue to stay out as well. That's going to be a fodder, I guess, demand, a demand for a lot of fodder with those SBCs continually being out, not to mention whatever player SBCs they dropped during foot birthday as well. So fodder is going to be a big, big watch this weekend. Now let's talk about today on Thursday a little bit more. Technically Silver Stars is like over, right? Musunda yesterday, we had two objective players in Baker, and who's the other guy? Baker and Rudder were our last two Silver Stars series. These cards are pretty easy to get if you did the objective game mode here. Not too bad, five star week foot for Rudder, which is decent, same thing with Baker for a center defensive mid. But that's kind of over, right? And I think a lot of people are glad to see that ending, but we are supposedly getting some more milestones today, I believe. And I want to take a look at this because this is very interesting. Footshare posted that we are gonna be having some MLS foundations. Now we always, we all thought that this was gonna be coming out earlier than it actually did, but guys like Shakiri, Muhtar, and there's a couple more down here. Moreno, who's a five star skiller, Robinson and Letgit, I'm terrible at saying that guy's name, but those are MLS foundations that are evidently coming today. He said they're coming soon, and then after that he said it's coming today on Thursday. So some more objectives last minute to grind if you're a USA folk or you wanna kind of have an MLS squad. Those are gonna be some new cards that would potentially drop today on Thursday. But other than that for Thursday content, one thing I could maybe see EA doing is I believe they did this last year, right before foot birthday started, was they dropped, basically like an 85 times 10, they dropped another one of those. Sorry, not 85 times 10, and 85 times three. Like another sort of gamble pack or an 84 plus player pick, that sort of thing, that they could drop today on Thursday to get you excited about what tomorrow's promo could be and have a potential to pack one of those cards from the brand new promo. Of course, marquee matchups for today, which by the way, it is leaked. I'll take you through these really fast because I know some of you guys might get ahead of the game here with a little bit of preparation on the marquee matchup side of things. Where's the suite at? Bayern versus Leverkusen, Man City, Man United, Roma Atalanta, and Wanderers and Sydney FC. So that is the news for today on Thursday with marquee matchups. Also, icon moments he says here, still scheduled for Sunday. So that's gonna be a part of the foot birthday weekend as well. So it's gonna be a pretty big weekend, right? Foot birthday is always a big promo. I'm excited to see how EA do it this year. I mean, last year, of course, like we talked about in yesterday's video, we had specific SBCs. Based on the year that that player was very hyped in, right? So, you know, I would love to see that same sort of aspect this year. I'm just excited because foot birthday usually brings out good SBCs, pretty good cards and packs, and it's a pretty high promo in general. They usually go all out with the content and I'm excited to see that continue after a slow week in this game. So also, this is a little, I had to share because this is some TFA, I guess you could say a milestone for TFA. Hitting a lead division. There's still what, two weeks to go? We still have two weeks of season four. TFA is at the elite division. I need to win one more game to get myself the reward upgrade and get my 100K packs and it's like 100K packs and 50K packs. I just got in yesterday, feeling good. Finally got here, but it's nice. It is very, very nice to be in the elite division, especially with the God squad that helped out so much. Shout out Messi, shout out R9 to get to where we are. But I had to quickly share that because that was really dope. We did make a few coins yesterday, not really that many. I did buy some Dembele's after his team of the week card is extinct at 180K, which is bogus. That card's gonna be like 130,000 coins this weekend during foot birthday or less. So I bought a few of these at like 340, sold them at 370. He did go up to 381 point. He's still kind of chilling around that 370 range. And then I did buy an Mbappe for 255 and sold it for 28 because this guy just got a little bit cheap after he was out in packs. So I picked one up and he actually did end up selling here at 285 as you can see at 282. So maybe could have got like 20 or 30K more for him, but that was a nice flip. And I feel like I've kind of taken a slight break from trading this past week with the whole promo, but it was a good break, right? So I'm excited to be back this weekend and in full force. Got the trading juices flowing again. Having a big number in the top left really motivates me to keep that growing. 20 mil by Tott's question mark. I would love to get there. That'd be so insane to get to a number that would seem almost like having as many coins as you need for team of the season upgrade packs, all the content and stuff like that heading into the latter parts of this year. That's kind of what I'm grinding for at the moment with the trading and with the market is, of course, keep grinding that coin total up, keep growing that balance until we get to team of the season and in the latter parts and then use that coin balance over those last few months to do all the SBCs or the content because there's still a lot of stuff that comes out in the summer. So I wanna be able to do that with the coin balance that I do have. So anyways, that's enough of that rambling but for birthdays tomorrow, man, I think we're excited. I am excited. I hope you are. Let me know down in the comments what you think and watch the Twitter again for leaks. Not my Twitter, but foot share. If on Twitter, he's gonna be posting a lot more stuff. I'm sure today because there's gonna be a lot more information. Hopefully we get a loading screen and hopefully the MLS foundations are not that hard to do because I would love to do them for the MLS squad. But anyways, thanks for watching the video to the lads. If you did enjoy it, smash the thumbs up, comment if you have any questions and of course, subscribe if you're new. It has been Nate the Foot Account and I will catch you guys later. Peace out.
