 Hey guys, it's Nate, AKA the Foot Account, and welcome back to the channel. Here we go with the pre-season promo with this loading screen yesterday. It is confirmed that pre-season is the next upcoming promo happening tomorrow on FIFA 22. You can see three different car designs and the Foot 23 little text up there at the top of this loading screen tells us a little bit of the story of what we might be able to expect of this promo starting tomorrow. I know we touched on it earlier in the week if you saw that video. I want to go a little bit deeper today, specifically with those car designs they show, maybe how they could be impacting what content we get in the coming days. I also want to take a look back yesterday at the insane 99 rated Muhammad Salah Ultimate Footies SBC might have been our last Footies SBC of the entire promo because I do believe today is the last full day of Footies. It's kind of crazy how the time has flown so fast. Five weeks now I've gone by of all Footies content and it's ending today and tomorrow morning. So crazy that we are at that point now that our favorite summer promo has come to an end. But there's a lot to talk about related to the market, related to shape shifter cards, maybe not being in packs for this next batch based off of seeing that loading screen that we have right now for pre-season. All of that and more in today's video. So if you're excited for pre-season, hit the thumbs up and of course subscribe if you are new. One quick word from the sponsor of today's video.

So let's talk about preseason because of course this loading screen dropped yesterday and there's a lot we can learn from it. First of all, the whole premise of this preseason promo is the preseason leading up into the next game. That's why you see the foot 23 at the top of this. That's the whole point. We are trying to go and get rewards in FIFA 22 and FIFA 23 from playing the game right now. And I wanna take a look at some of these rewards from the past two years because in FIFA 21 they were okay. This year in FIFA 22 at the very beginning they were even a little bit better. Hopefully going into FIFA 23, they'll be even better yet. Take a look at this, back in FIFA 20 we had two coin boost, two kits and two chemistry styles that were attainable. And that was it. This last year from 21 into 22, we had the coin boost, two of them. We had the Kickstarter packs which gave you chem styles, contracts, kits and a gold players pack. They also gave out league specific packs for the top five leagues helping you build your starter squads around whichever league you would like to choose. So that's obviously a step up from what it was from FIFA 20 into 21. This last year from 21 into 22. So now from 22 to 23, what is it gonna be? What is EA Sports gonna do this year to up the ante just a little bit? I would of course think they might have to give out some chemistry styles again, probably some coin boost, probably a couple packs. Maybe we can just get a little bit more, right? A couple more packs instead of just one gold players pack or instead of like three Bundesliga players pack give us like, you know, a half of 50K pack. It's not super crazy, right? Six players all rare, all gold. You know, like one of those make, you know, that's something that we could go and grind for too. I know that EA's not gonna wanna give out a lot. Since it's the start of a brand new game and they want people to spend FIFA points to go out and of course build up their alternate teams from the get going from the start, I get that. But regardless, this is just something nice where since we're starting to get all this information about FIFA 23, it's nice to now have the opportunity to do some objectives in SBCs and feel like you're giving yourself just a little bit of a head start at the next year's game when it does come around. It's not a huge head start, just a little bit of one, but it's nice, right? It's nice to feel like you're kind of setting yourself on the front foot for that. Now you're like, Nate, this whole promo can't be rewards for FIFA 23, right? No, that is not the case. And that's why I think you see these three different car designs on the loading screen right here. First, let's start on the left. This is the player moments SBC car design. Think about like Lukash Paqueta had one of these from earlier on in the year. We haven't seen this car design used in a hot minute. Now what we have seen recently, this is where I think there might be a correlation here, but I'm, you know, it's not guaranteed at all. We have seen a lot of the transfer cards added. We have got guys like Gold Holland. We looked at it in yesterday's video. They're now on foot bin, not Erlang. Erlang is what I'm trying to search up. Erlang, Erlang Holland, can I type? Here we go. Erlang Holland is now a Manchester City player in FIFA. And on Friday, depending on what cards are in packs, his Manchester City card might actually be in packs. A lot of cards like Arsenal, Gabriel Jesus, or Sterling on Chelsea are already in packs in the game. But I do think that some of these moments player SBCs might be the way that EA Sports is going to give us transferred player cards. Now in years past, they haven't used this car design. They have used, if we actually go and look at Cristiano Ronaldo from last year in FIFA 21, they used the premium SBC car design to do this. We had guys like Leroy Sane, Timo Werner, a couple years ago in foot 20, in a 21. And then we had these, this one last year, only a couple of them were released. Hopefully what it means is they're gonna be doing that same thing this year, but they're just using a different car design. I don't exactly know, but I was a bit surprised to see this one on the menu. So we would just have to see, or if it's somehow EA just gonna give us player SBCs again, with really high ratings towards the end of this year and just give us another kind of example of SBCs to go out and grind, kind of like during footies with really high rated cards. Maybe that's what this is for. But SBC specific, of course, we will have to see what this actually means. But I've got high hopes of our to be completely honest. I really hope that the transfer SBCs are involved somehow. And I just think this might be the way that they go and do it. Now, another SBC card design on this menu is the showdown card design. We have not had a showdown SBC in a while, but now since the leagues are back, since games are happening every weekend once again and during the week as well for some clubs, we now have the potential for showdown SBCs. And that was a big hit last year during this promo. You guys might remember, this is the number one favorite I think that a lot of people remembered from last year in preseason was this 97 rated 90 from the MLS All-Star game. He got upgraded, got that plus two and his card is absolutely disgusting, right? We also had a Gen-Duzi 97 rated card at the end of the game last year. I mean, look at those stats, right? This is September type stats right there for a 97 rated Gen-Duzi card. So what this means to me is it is potentially dropping. Again, showdown SBCs are gonna be a feature through this preseason promo for however long it does run and maybe even starting this Friday. Just think about for a second. Think about the potential since Darwin Nunez now has a Liverpool card in the game. Just imagine for a second a Darwin Nunez like showdown SBC where it's like Nunez versus Harry Maguire or with the Liverpool Man U game coming up this Monday, Friday or Saturday even would be perfect for EA sports to drop a showdown SBC for that big game that is upcoming and start this preseason off with a bang. So EA, if you're listening to this at all or if you need any ideas for showdowns this weekend, this Monday game technically in the next week, not on the weekend, but this Monday game would be perfect for a first showdown. I mean, so many people would love to see whether it's Nunez or whoever it is, Liverpool versus Man U, perfect opportunity for a showdown SBC. And there's gonna be so many throughout the course this preseason promo. We should get some really great cards via showdowns. And of course, since they are showdowns, they have that potential to live upgrade based on a win or a draw, plus one for a draw, plus two for a win. And then they get the upgraded card design. You guys know how those works. We've seen them throughout the year already in FIFA 22. So definitely watch out for those. I'm kind of excited for the showdowns because those are just very exciting fun cards whenever they are dropped in the game. Now the third card here is the team of the season card design in the middle. Now what does this mean, right? Does this mean that, you know, Tots cards are gonna be back in packs? I think that is what it is kind of leading us to believe. But my question is, are Tots cards the best cards that are going to be in packs? Now this is what I remember from last year from the end of footies to the beginning of preseason. Right now we have 200 special cards in packs with all of the best shape shifters. So many of the great team in the season cards. It really can't get any better than this. And I'm telling you guys, probably tomorrow and Friday, it's gonna feel like we're taking a step back. There probably will still be a decent amount of special cards in packs, but there probably won't be as many shape shifters and there'll probably be a lot more Tots cards. Now the one thing I'm a bit curious about is with the Tots card on the loading screen, does that mean that there are going to be no shape shifters in packs at all? And right now I don't feel comfortable saying that that is the case. But what I would really watch out for today on Thursday is, sometimes they update the loading screen on a Thursday and we could get more information today telling us what kind of cards could be released back into packs. And if there is a shape shifter card design on the loading screen after they update that, then I would say, okay, some shape shifters are gonna be back in packs. It's not time to go and buy them because I will think, and I would say that if shape shifters are not included in this next batch that is gonna come out, some of these cards are absolutely going to go up in price just due to rarity and just due to the shape shift there's being the best cards from the best promo, the latest promo via cards in packs on this game. And look at their prices, right? Sun 294, he's actually up a little bit from where he was. Ginola's 1.1 lows, Messi is down bad, Ronaldo is down bad, 2.419. I mean, that's a bit of an undercut there but still that's really low for where he has been. A lot of these shape shifters are down so much but they're still also pretty rare. So just be very careful watching the loading screen today and maybe any information that we get from EA Sports because some of the shape shifters, if you want to buy them for your team, they could be going out of packs for a week or two, maybe until later on during preseason when they put more batches in, more cards in packs and we build up with more shape shifters in packs if they don't start there from the beginning but any of the shape shifters that are very popular meta that go out of packs tomorrow, I do think have an opportunity to rise up in price a little bit. So that's the biggest thing I would say about this loading screen that I think impacts some of you guys' teams and buying cards for end game team and stuff like that. Watch out for the shape shifter cards and I do think that an updated loading screen today might show us a couple more card designs of promos that will be featured in packs. We'll just have to see if they updated or not but that's one of the biggest things that I'm looking out for because again, like we said and like we've mentioned, these card prices have gone down a lot. Christian Ronaldo shape shifter, 25 flat. So the 2419 is just sitting, that's crazy. So he's down, where he was messiest down a lot, we just looked at Ginola, right? Ginola is 1.1 million coins, 1.1, almost five, 1.15, that was really, really low for that card. So yeah, he's down a lot. So all of these guys are down, but maybe if they're back in packs, they could even go lower if they're not in packs. Obviously they might have a bit of a jump up because they are still really rare cards. So that's a big part of what I'm kind of watching on the market, but in all, in total, this preseason promo, and I just gotta be honest, it's probably gonna seem a step backwards in terms of hype from where we are right now with footies, with the insane SBCs, the Salah, the name are all this stuff that is very craftable right now, enjoy it, enjoy the grind, enjoy how fun it is and how craftable it all is, because it's not gonna be as exciting at least this next week, in my opinion, in terms of the content for foot 22. Now when you, then you flip the switch and you start to think about foot 23 a little bit, I understand a little bit of extra hype there, but still just be very, very careful of getting super hyped about preseason because it's just gonna be a different level of hype than footies in my opinion. So we're gonna watch that loading screen today, see if we get any more information from that, before we head into tomorrow and Friday about what could be in packs, because that could impact some things. Now speaking of today on Thursday, it is Rewards Day and it's last chance day to full send footies. I'm gonna try to get the name are completed today. I'm working on St. Max. I even started the Salah SBC a little bit. It's the last day with the footies batch three cards in packs. So hit your 85 times 10, hit your player picks that you wanna hit, maybe the 75 times five upgrade packs, because yes, these will still be decent after today and tomorrow when there's new cards that are in packs, but I just don't think they will be as OP as they have been. So that's the one thing that I would say is just be a little bit careful and try to craft as much as you can. Seriously, I think like I said earlier in the week, this is just the week to grind and to go for it and to full send it because of the cards that are in packs is not gonna get any better than this and the SBCs are really, really great as well. Now speaking on the SBC side of things, just really quickly, Muhammad Salah dropped yesterday. Of course, the leak was true. He did get dropped. Incredible card, position change, premium footies item, five star, five star. I mean, this is the best Salah card we've ever had in any FIFA. The added traits as well, incredible, incredible item. Now I think the price here is a little bit steep and I don't know if it's just me. I understand that it's Premier League hype. It's a position change and I get that. 1.7 million coins compared to 1.3 for Neymar. You know, I mean, I was hoping Salah would be right around 1 million coins but of course that position change and it just being a 99 rated card. I think EA know they can get some people to go ahead and do this and that's why you saw a lot of the top tier cards drop yesterday, Ginola, Messi, Ronaldo. Some of those top tier shapes yet there's dropped in price. I think it really has a direct correlation with the Salah SBC coming out. So many people wanting to go and to craft him just because of how elite that card looks. And if you take a look at the upvotes and downvotes a lot of upvotes on the Salah card for good reason because it is a really insane, insane item and I understand why people are excited about it because it's incredible. So GG is the A sports but I think that's gonna be our last footies SBC of the footies promo but what a good one to go out with, right? And what a great week it has been. I mean, just to shed some light. Again, on think about how insane this past week has been Neymar, St. Max, Veran, Nala Salah, Dembele just incredible amounts of SBCs, great players and great opportunities to craft them as well. So GG is once again the A sports for a great end to footies and it's been so craftable with so much content in general. It's been a really nice footies promo in general. Now, speaking about fodder a little bit because we just talked about an SBC we need to talk about fodder. Fodder's low once again and the price fluctuations are continuing to happen. 84s did go up yesterday. Some people were like, Nate, 84s didn't rise as much on the PlayStation. I can't speak for all the other markets. It looks like Xbox, they did pretty good too but I mean, they were really low yesterday. I mean, we're talking 3,000 coins low for some of these cards and a lot of the 84s went up over four and a half thousand coins close sort of 5K at the content drop yesterday even with everything going on. Now some of them didn't move a ton and I think today you could see some of these prices go even lower into the day, the morning because of those rabble's rewards and people are still grinding the gold pack method and all sorts of things like that. So really watch out for some low points on fodder. Get on those bids because I do think there will be a bit of a spike today since it's the last day of the footies batch three being in packs. You know, the 85 times 10, the 85 times five there might be of course a lot of people today trying to go out and get those done like the last time that they possibly can or even an 86 plus player pick would be a good thing to try to go and do before the new batch of cards is dropped. So I do think fodder today can have as usual fluctuation but after it does get a little bit low in the morning also we're gonna have marquee matchups today. So we're gonna have to watch and see what the tradable pack supply is like and what kind of packs they give from marquee matchups because it always will supply the market a bit today. And again, like I mentioned if the shapeshifters that you're watching if it doesn't look like they're gonna be back in packs and you wanna take a gamble on it then feel free if there's any price drops today on some big time shapeshifters maybe you'll pull the trigger on a card like that just because of that supply ending if they're not gonna be in packs. So that's kind of what I'm thinking for content today and with the fodder a little bit as well another fluctuation today maybe enough to trade in it and make some coins with that or just stock the club and get some SBC done cheaper with the fodder prices still being really, really low and just like the whole fodder market being squashed with all of the top tier really high rated cards that are impacts right now at the moment. So that's kind of what's going on with the market today. It's probably gonna be a quiet Thursday, right? Thursdays are always really quiet but really what it is it's okay in my opinion if it's a quiet day time to grind the last SBCs the last player picks the last day of the French Cup to get your games and I got to win, what is it like six games? I got to win six games today to get all the rewards last chance to do a Mavi or Mandanda or Jelson Martins as well some of those guys are expiring so kind of another day to complete the SBCs complete the objectives and catch up a little bit on the last full day of the footies promo also to get those summer swap tokens if you're still going for a guy like Ben Yetter or any of the fodder packs still grinding those they're not done being released yet there are 10 tokens more to go 40 have been released 10 have yet to be released but still if you're on that grind you know there's more time if the content's not insane today more time to go ahead and get some of that stuff done and to get ahead of the curve there and towards the end goal of what you're working on so that's the video for today guys really we just are awaiting that preseason promo starting and hopefully learning a little bit more information today from a secondary loading screen by EA Sports about what cards maybe could be impacts I hope that EA full send to this preseason promo if you're excited for it hit the thumbs up on this video comment down below if you do have any questions and subscribe if you're new it's been Nate for the count and I'll catch you guys later peace out.
