 Hey guys, it's Nate, AKA the Foot Accountant. Welcome back to the channel. We have a huge video today explaining and discussing some of the biggest news we have had in a long time about FIFA 23 Ultimate Team from the Foot 23 reveal trailer that was released today from EA Sports. What I want to do is explain and break down the new chemistry system, the brand new position change system and the new foot moments currency and game mode coming to FIFA 23. I also want to put a little bit of a market perspective on everything today and from what we learned we can kind of deduce some things that will be different in the FIFA 23 market and some ways that the market might move early on that we can be prepared for from what we learned today about FIFA 23. So if you're excited for FIFA 23 and if you're confused about the new chemistry system because a lot of us are still confused as well, hit the thumbs up on the video and subscribe if you're new. What I'm going to do right now though is try to break that confusion and start to explain this brand new chemistry system because it's a whole overhaul. It is brand new. There is really not a lot that is similar from the old years of FIFA's past what we've been used to for so long. That would be my biggest advice to you is completely forget about the old way of chemistry and start to think about this new way. There's also a couple of tools that I want to give you guys that will help you learn this as well. One of those is a squad builder website. So we'll talk about that in a second, but the basics. How is chemistry now going to be formed in FIFA? It's all based around a three, zero to three scale of a chemistry indicator. Each player in the team will count towards the amount of chemistry built up instead of having 100 chemistry now. It is all about these, what we maybe call diamonds or chemistry points is what they're called. It's all about getting to 33 chemistry points, three chem points for all 11 players on the pitch inside of a squad. That's how it's added up. So how does a player get these chemistry points? Well, it's based off of club, league and nation just like it always is. The basis is not changing. It's just the way that chemistry is calculated is what's changing in this next year. So if you get two players from the same club as it shows here, and I'm gonna actually pull up a bigger picture because it looks way better if I do it this way. If you get two players from the same club they get one chemistry point. If you get three players from the same league or nation you also get one chemistry point for that player. And that's the basis of chemistry for all cards except icons and heroes. And the best way that I can explain this and the best way to learn it, especially if you're a hands-on learner is check out this website foot.gg slash squad-builder. I'm gonna put the link to this website as the first link in the description because this is massive for helping you learn how this chemistry works. So let's explain it just a little bit. Right now I have Messi and Akimi on the right side of the squad. They are both on one chemistry point because there are two PSG players in this team, two League One players. If I got one more League One player it would put me to that third player from the league that would get me another chemistry point. So if I add in, let's say Verati. Let me add in Verati. I'll talk about position changes in a second but if I position change him to center attacking mid that gives me a third PSG player and a third League One player. I could actually put Paqueta in here and it would do the same thing because Paqueta is a League One player. So Messi and Akimi go to two out of three chemistry points. Paqueta is still only on one as the only, as only getting a chemistry point from being the third League One player. So that's how this chemistry is kind of made up. Now icons also add to this by nation and this is actually really, really big. Let me add Pele in here and show you guys this. Pele as an icon, all icons in their starting position will be on full three chemistry. They'll be on full 10. They will also count as two for their nation. So Pele is the only Brazil card in this squad but it shows here that there are two, right? So icons count for two cards in terms of nation and if I add in Ginola, shapeshifters, hero as a striker. Heroes count as two for the League. So as you can see, it's actually behind my face cam but I am on five chemistry points for Premier League players. If I add a Premier League midfielder, let me add Conte into the squad. I will be on a full six, although Conte is off chemistry so we'll position change in the center mid. Conte is our sixth player so all Premier League cards in this squad will have at least two chemistry points out of three. Now the Spurs and the Manchester City players in this squad like De Bruyne, Sun, Cancelo and Romero are on three points because they also have two players in the same club which gets them that third and final chemistry point. Now, let me show you something even crazier. Let's say I didn't want Conte in my team, remove. That puts Romero, De Bruyne, Sun and Cancelo all back to two chemistry points. If I add a Premier League manager, they will all go to three. A manager is a huge aspect of this new chemistry system because it will give you automatically one chemistry point right here, manager bonus. The manager will contribute one chemistry increment to all players that share either the country or the league. This is huge because instead of a manager giving you one chemistry on a player, that's one tenth of all the chemistry you needed. Now a manager will give you one chemistry increment or one chemistry point in the new system. That's one third of all the chemistry that you needed. So really, just get as many cards as you can on two chemistry, two out of three and then throw a manager in there and boom. If the manager is like, let's say he's Premier League but he is French, that would give Ginola another. Actually, that would give Ginola, I think it would just give him one. We don't know if a manager would give one for the league and one for the nation if a player like this Ginola would be a French and Premier League. That's what we're not sure about but it will at least give one to each league and to nation, which is massive. That is so big for chemistry and building in this new formula, this new overhaul of the chemistry system. So that's the biggest advice I can give you though, is start to work on this website. Literally me spending 10 minutes here made it all click and it's really starting to, I'm really starting to figure it out. The biggest L from all of this and let me show you this because there are some downsides from this new system. You can't make as incredible of hybrids as you may be able used to in FIFA, right? Look at Messi and Hakimi. I used to have them in the 451 in my ultimate team, just these exact same cards and they were on 10 chemistry in a 451. Now that's not the case because, you know, they only get that one link out of three instead of getting the chemistry number to 10 with that green strong link and only needing the two links from the old method, right? Throw the old method out the window. The new one is here. So the biggest disappointment for this whole new chemistry method in my opinion are some of those like hyperlinks that we used to have that could make, you know, you could put like four different leagues in one squad. It's gonna be harder to do that a little bit harder unless you have to help with some icons and some managers. So it does make in what they say in this article is the reason why they're changing this is to make it easier to build your dream squad, which I do agree for the most part, a lot of people are gonna be able to build teams that will have different players in them that you would not have been able to use before because before you had to get certain players to actually link to other ones. Whereas now, like I mentioned, you could have Mbappe and Marquinhos in the team and they're both on, you know, three chemistry. You don't even have to have like, you know, variety in the middle to get a link between them both. You don't need that in this new, in this new system of chemistry. Also loyalty has been removed. So that's one thing to kind of know that it'll still show first owner on cards but loyalty has been removed. So my biggest advice for you guys is play around in this website. If you have the beta, play around in the beta a little bit and it's just, it's just new, right? Try to have, you know, an open mindset thinking about a brand new chemistry system that a lot of people are gonna be confused about at first and you putting in a little bit of time now and putting in the work and learning of how this chem system works will help you big time at the beginning of FIFA because that's something I wanna look at right now. Of course, I cannot open the FIFA 23 beta. I can't do that because that is illegal. I get banned, right? According to EA Sports. So a lot of people are playing the beta right now and I have not really played it much. I'm about to do it after I'm finished recording this. And a lot of people are, they're saying it's hard to build SBCs because that was one of the other big pieces of information from today is that SBCs are also going to share the exact same chemistry formula. And what I really think that's gonna do market-wise is that is going to change how people are building SBCs. People are not gonna be knowing how to build SBCs right away. And it's gonna be very important that we know how to build SBCs and how chemistry works because people are gonna be going to footbin a lot to look up squad building challenge solutions to this stuff. And I think especially market-wise that the SBC solutions on footbin are going to be bigger than ever because people are gonna have to go to footbin. If they don't know how the system works early on, they're gonna have to go in here and try to find solutions to squad building challenges like the league and nation basics, hybrid nations, hybrid league. Think about how those are gonna be different at the start of FIFA this year. That's gonna be a great place to trade on the market. There's gonna be a lot of fluctuations in that this year because of the confusion around the new chemistry style. And also one thing that I think about what this new chemistry style is, think about the link investing. We always used to buy cards that would link to, let's say we have a leak for a, like right now we have a leak for a Neymar, right? And Neymar Footies is gonna be dropping this weekend. Let's say, oh my goodness, Neymar is dropping. I'm gonna go buy Sergio Ramos, right? Because we know that Ramos gets that link to Neymar and it's a green link and that'd be an easy way for people to add them to their teams. Now, that's not really something that we can do as much. Players will still rise because of linking to other players that are gonna be coming out. Like again, if we got a Neymar, SBC and FIFA 23, you would still expect that maybe an Mbappe or maybe some of the most meta cards from that club, from that league would rise up a little bit. But it's gonna be harder to find those market movements. And I think EA, one of the reasons they're doing this is to actually create less market movement as people continually change their teams throughout the year with SBCs and objective cards that come out or cards that come out during promos. Because EA know that people are gonna be able to link cards in so many different ways than just right up next to each other with the old chemistry method. So that's why I think that's one of the upsides for EA and a downside as a trader on the market with what we have learned today is that it's probably gonna be a little bit harder to trade around those link fluctuations or link investments, if you will, like the Anthony SBC that just came out, right? The Gravenberge Tots card being a green link to Anthony shot up in price. Now in FIFA 23, that sort of thing still could happen because they're from the same club. And I think the club links, since there's only two needed will be a little bit more important to get that extra chemistry that you need in there. But also if you're gonna put two players in the same club, you also need at least one more from the same league or nation, if those players share a nation, to get yourself that extra chemistry point. So it's just something we're gonna have to ramp our minds around. And that's just my initial thoughts on how this new chemistry system could impact the market. There'd just be basically less of an impact of price movement for those sorts of link investments on the game. So that's the biggest thing there. Now let's talk about position changes. I kind of stopped talking about that for a second. Position changes, and I wanna show you in this video, actually, the deep dive trailer, as you can see here, they're using the example of Cancelo. So position changes in this FIFA will no longer be based off of just the different position change cards that we have in this game. It's gonna be based off each and every player because each player is going to have different secondary positions. Like you can see here for Mbappe. Mbappe's preferred position is Striker, but you can also change him to center forward and left wing. There is only going to be one consumable card in FIFA 23 this next year. It's gonna be this one, a position modifier card. No longer will you have center defensive mid to center mid, Striker to center forward, which is a W because we won't have chem style cards that will be costing or position change cards that will costing 5K on the market, right? I would assume this position modifier would have a medium, maybe like one to 2K value unless EA throw it in packs a ton just because it's only one card that's gonna be out there and it's the only one card that you're gonna be able to use for position changing all of your players. So watch here, they apply the card to Cancelo. Whoops, I went a little bit too far ahead. Let's go back to this. So they apply the card and they get to choose. Since Cancelo's secondary positions from right back are left back and right wing back, they chose left back and now this Cancelo, who will be off position, you see the exclamation mark, he's gonna move to left back and boom. He is now on more chemistry than he was before because of that position change. So that's the biggest thing with position changes is you just can't move players from Striker to center mid. That's probably the biggest L, but again, as we talked about, like knowing that an Abape up here at Striker is gonna get chemistry to my Messi and Hakimi and boom, put them on two stars instead of three. You don't really need to have those players right next to each other. And now with all the PSG players that I have in my team, if I had a league one manager, boom. I'm at three out of three stars for all of those PSG players. Then if I fill the rest of my squad out with other players, like I could do some Real Madrid guys in here. I could do a couple more La Liga, one more Prem card, maybe like Kuti or Amaro or something like that. And we will be golden, right? And this squad would come together with everybody being on three stars. So that's kind of the biggest thing with, again, with some chemistry in there and with the position changes changing in this year's game. That's the biggest part of what we learned. It really, really is. A couple other small things and then we'll talk about foot moments. You know, speaking of chemistry system boost, foot spy here is tweeting and says, as far as I can work it out, a one star chemistry would be equal to six chem stat boost, two star to eight and a three star to 10. So chemistry boost this year, instead of like losing, you know, like if you had a player on seven cam you would lose a bit of their stats. This year, nobody loses stats. They always will play at their face card stats unless they're out of, even if they're out of position, I believe they will always play at their face card stats. Now, if you put a chem style on them, they're only going to increase more by however much more chemistry they have. So even if you have a squad this year, and that's why I think that this chemistry system is really based for casuals. Because if you have a squad, you know, that has players that are not on three out of three chemistry points, does it really matter that much? Because you're not losing any of your stats. You're really just prohibiting the maximum rise of additional stat output that card could have with a chem style or whatever. So that's what's almost got me thinking like, chemistry this year is just really not as important as it was before or squad building because your players aren't being penalized for being off chem. That's something that's different from last year as well. So that's pretty interesting from there. And then also just some other random things. This is the pack animation, which it looks similar to this last year. It almost kind of looks similar to like FIFA 20 as well with the boards dropping and stuff like that. But I don't think the boards actually drop. And this is only one small part of the pack animation. You know, notice here when Vinny comes out it like counts up his rating. Kind of cool, kind of different. And then all this stuff going on above. You know, I said this on stream today and I was like, this reminds me of like Hot Wheels tracks where the cars are flying around, you know, super fast going loop-de-loops and stuff. That's kind of what that reminded me of. So kind of crazy there and very different but that is a early pack animation that was released from the beta. Now the last thing I wanna talk about is just what we mentioned at the beginning foot moments and this is the brand new foot stars chemistry that you see here. And we talked about it from a video earlier on. This is one of the bigger things as well because no longer do you have to just go into FIFA and wanna play the game. No longer do you have to just play a full game. You are now gonna be able to have these moments which is available in other video games like MLB the show in Madden. These are gonna be like small bite size segments or challenges that you have to complete to earn rewards to, you know, you get these stars and then you earn the rewards. So like some of the challenges for example you might have to overturn a two zero deficit to win the game in the last 15 minutes. Recreate a screamer from the weekend's action. Another example that they gave in the deep dive was, you know, like scoring a free kick goal in the 90th, right, to win. So it's all about these stars and then with the stars what you can do is you go into the star gallery which I believe is gonna be in the store and then, you know, you're gonna be able to build it up for these packs. You can see here that like zero stars is an imbappe loan item and then you have these rewards at 24, 32, 64 and 124 stars you get these better packs, right? So that's kind of, you know, it's cool because, you know, that's just gonna be another way that you can, it's almost like a swaps program that's always available 24 seven is you can go out acquire these stars and turn them in for packs and for other rewards. So I think that's pretty much a W as well those are the biggest things from yesterday's content, right? And from yesterday's video, the moments, the chemistry cross play is not really new. We kind of knew about that foot heroes. They did end up confirming Marquisio. They showed him on the trailer but that really wasn't new as well. We knew that Marquisio was gonna be dropped. So realistically, from today's information really the chemistry is the biggest part. Chemistry position changes and, you know, again, I would just recommend keep thinking about this stuff. You know, watch other, you know, videos maybe learning and having people talk about the chemistry system and also mess around on this website. Again, link is gonna be down below in the description because this is like, this is really, really helpful and learning what cards are gonna work together and how you're gonna be able to build your starter squad to the beginning of FIFA 23. If you learn this, you're gonna be so much further ahead than everybody else that's getting on FIFA 23 for the first time here in basically a little less than two months as we are not far away from FIFA 23. So take the opportunity to click that link down in below, click on that squad little link, check it out. And again, drop down below in the comments what you think. I know some people are like, man, I don't like this new chemistry system. It sucks because it's new and I have to learn something and it's not the old way that it used to be. I would just, again, encourage you to say, hey, you know what, I'm gonna go for it. I'm gonna just say, all right, I'm here to learn something new and kind of take that kind of mindset instead of just wishing that it was gonna be staying as the old way. And then with everything related to the market for this, we're just gonna have to take it and learn as it comes. And we're gonna, of course, talk a lot about this stuff as we get very close to FIFA 23 regarding SBCs, regarding how to make coins at the start of the game and with chemistry links and stuff impacting that. We'll probably learn a lot from the beta and the demo and early access when we get on all sorts of this stuff. It's gonna be a learning process for how this new chemistry overall will impact the market, but it's gonna be fun. And if you're excited to join the journey with me, drop a thumbs up on the video. Again, comment down below if you have any questions or comments or anything that you learned from yesterday that you thought was helpful or that you like or you don't like. Drop that down below in the comments and, of course, subscribe if you are new. That is all the information I have for you today but it has been Nate the Boat Account and I will catch you guys later. Peace out.
