 Hey guys, it's Nate, AKA the Foot Accountant. Welcome back to the channel. EA have done something just today in this game that we have been waiting years for. And yes, it does have to do with those team of the season rewards, changes that are upcoming to FIFA 23. I want to talk about that today, all that we learned about the new rewards that are coming and how it's going to impact this game, how it's going to impact the market and prices and especially some weekend league demand. Every single weekend there are going to be people wanting to play this game and even throughout the week, there's going to be so much game play demand because more Tots are going to be packable in rewards than ever. So we'll have to take a look at that. And of course, looking to today on Wednesday, what's the content going to be today? One day closer to team of the season this Friday, the excitement is building, the hype is building. We have a big game today for the showdown between Ben White and Gunduan City versus Arsenal. So that's big as a part of content today too. And today we're going to see the last team of the week of the game. Yeah, you heard me correctly. We're going to talk about that in today's video. If you're excited for it, if it helps you at all, drop a thumbs up on it and of course, subscribe if you are new. Let's take a look back at yesterday just really quickly at the content that we had on the Tuesday, right? It wasn't that crazy of a Tuesday on content on this game. More so, it was more exciting about the news that we got in the game and a part of that, the loading screen. We obviously have the 81 times 11 Bundesliga upgrade pack that was dropped. It's about $65,000 coins. It's just a little bit cheaper because there's no 85 radio player requirement in this 81 times 11. And it worked out nice that EA dropped this 81 times 11 because also yesterday on the game, we had the Bundesliga Tats vote. And this is my Bundesliga Tats vote right here. Guys, looking at this, this could be a really, really stacked a team apart from the attackers. Like if I'm looking at the attackers in here, Koldomani, Florian Wurtz, Diabi. Yes, you have guys like Becker. Yes, you have Luca Becchio, Fulkrug, Taram. I don't know how in the world that Kunku has made it into this vote after being injured for basically the entire year, getting his foot birthday SBC, which having that SBC and having spent the coins for that, now I'm like, man, I hope Kunku doesn't get into Tats, but at the same time, and Kunku getting into team this season would be absolutely insane. And I actually can see it happening. But guys like Jude Belling and Musiala Kimmich, you know, the defense with guys like Frimpong, Davies, Schlotterbeck, Delict, Kobel with some nice Dortmund and some Bayern links. Bundesliga team this season is always Dortmund and Bayern dominated, but this could be a really nice Tats team. So make sure you get your voting in, voting into a couple of days, but we'll see how this team ends up looking. I'm just so curious to see how the attackers played out at the end of this vote to see who does win. So that was kind of the Bundesliga themed content yesterday. We also had a player of the month, Openda. He finally dropped, but EA didn't really give him that nice of an upgrade. 67, 68,000 coins to do the SBC. You kind of see it's like a split difference here. Some people like it, some people don't. The thing that is kind of, I guess the negative about this card, he only went up a plus one, only plus one and plus two stats around the card, even on his individual stats, not some very big upgrades. And they didn't give him a weak foot or a skill move boost, which is disappointing to say the least on this Openda player of the month. So they made him cheap, but also at the same time, they gave him a small upgrade. So it's kind of a bummer. I think we were hoping for more and something just a little bit better with that Openda player of the month yesterday. So that's there. It's gonna be out for of course, a while as all player of the month are. And it was kind of a quiet day, apart from the news that we first saw from this loading screen guys, and I can't tell you how exciting this is, because we have been asking for this in FIFA for years now. We have been asking for the red versions of cards in FIFA like the Weekend League rewards to have a actual team of the season card design, not the same red card design that we see year round on the team of the week cards, but something completely different. EA dropped this loading screen saying mode reward changes starting in three days, one hour. They dropped a website along with this and a message in the game, but like, look at that card design, bro. That's gonna make me want to play Weekend League more to try to get actual team of the season reds in my team, apart from just the regular team of the season, red design being the same as the team of the weeks like it was in years past. Now there's a lot to talk about with this, so strap in because there's a lot of news and also a lot of kind of, I guess, theory and thinking through this. We don't have all the answers yet, but we do have some answers. Now, they have mentioned just like they did last year, the foot champions cycle is going to be delayed. I don't know if you guys remember last year in foot champions, it started later and also ended later. And the reason it has to start later is it contains players from the current release of the team of the season, like this Friday when Community Tots is released, Community Tots cards and Air to Visit Tots cards will be in the rewards starting this Friday. Basically, you'll be able to play foot champs on Friday after content. The actual foot champions finals do not open until two hours after content. That's kind of the new start time. Two hours after content, every single Friday, it's 8 p.m. UK time, whatever that time is for you. Content plus two hours is when you can start playing foot champs and then of course, you have the 48 hour extension. So instead of foot champions ending on Monday morning at 8 a.m. UK, it is now going to end Wednesday morning at 8 a.m. UK and EA do that. So of course, like we know, they can include the current Tots cards in the current release of rewards. Basically think about it as this. Community Tots comes out on the 28th, which is this Friday. You're gonna be able to pack Community Tots and Air to Visit Tots cards in rewards literally that same night. If you get your games done so fast in the next couple of hours after that and you grind them all out, you'll be able to pack those cards in reds and I guess we'll figure out what the tradable packs look like with how many cards will be in the tradable like team of the season pack instead of the top team of the week pack that we're used to, right? So that's kind of the cool thing about Tots rewards every year. But I mean, this card design is like absolutely unbelievable and the fact that it starts listing in here some of the intricacies about this is that they're going to be giving out more rewards, not necessarily for foot champions, but for the other game modes that we'll get to in a second. Couple of small things I wanna point out from EA's website here. They have mentioned they're excited to drop the special Tots footchamps red design. That's a huge part of all of this. Here's, check this sentence here. You might have missed this, I wanna read this to you. All Tots and Tots moments that are available in packs will be made available as team of the season footchamps red items. They list team of the season moments in here, which is very interesting to me because the team of the season card design and the team of the season moments card design are completely different, right? This is one of the leaks that we had yesterday, Bijlo, right? Joelington as well, a couple of these leaks. That's the Tots moments design right there, right? It's not as cool, not as ornate as the big regular team in the season design. But EA lists that here on their website saying that maybe Tots moments cards are going to be in packs as a part of this. So that's something to watch out for. But again, we have the extension in here. It's gonna start late and end later, which is very nice, right? To get all of your games in. And then also they're gonna gift everybody the qualification points to jump into footchampions playoffs already. So if you've gone into FIFA, you've probably noticed you don't have to play rivals to play footchamps qualifiers just like they'd done so many times this year in the spring during foot birthday trophy Titans. They've gifted us the quality points to get in. Now they've also dropped ahead of the time that this weekend league is gonna be starting a Tots footchamps opening weekend objective which is kinda cool in my opinion. It's not gonna be easy for everybody to do but if you're playing week in league you're at least gonna get the play one and the play five player picks and hopefully you can get one win or five wins to get some 81 times 11 packs as well and another player pick. So these top four should be ones that if you're playing week in league and getting into finals, you'll be able to do. I mean, this is of course footchampions or finals. So you can get all of these done even before you get into the week in league if you play five matches of qualifiers. But then the lower objectives here are kind of fun. And you know what? I rate this from EA because it just gives you a choice on if you want to go for some more league specific packs. You have the 81 11s and the 81 or sorry the 75 times 11 for the league one but if you win three games with 11 players from that specific league in your starting squad you get that extra 81 times 11. So maybe for like Premier League and for Bundesliga since those are the most recent or upcoming like the first two basically single league releases of Tots that could be maybe something you go for this weekend so that you have to have the opportunity to hold these 81 times 11 packs to get another one instead of doing the SBC. So it's a little grindy but it just gives you another fun way to play footchamps if you want to. If you're trying to grind for the best finish possible to get the best Tots rewards possible then maybe you're not gonna do that and maybe you're gonna play with your best team in terms of firepower to get you the best rewards possible. That's something you have to think about as well but I like that EA are giving us options that is just a W. Now one other caveat I wanna point out about this before we move on is today on Wednesday, EA have literally said it here in this message today is the last team of the week of the entire FIFA 23. Team of the League 26 they say here releasing today, April 26th will be the last team of the week released in this game which if you think about it, that's kind of crazy. I know that if you guys remember back in the FIFA 21 when we had COVID and the games were stopped and the leagues were not going on as everything was shut down that was like the only other time I think ever that they stopped team of the week like this and back then they even replaced it with team of the week moments, right? It looks like for right now they are not putting any more team of the week cards in this game. Now that brings the question up should with this news should we be investing in team of the week cards? Well, I hate to break it to you but team of the week cards are actually already inflated. A lot of your 84 and higher rated team of the weeks have started going up in value because fodder itself is up a lot in value right now and that hurts the investing opportunity on some of these team of the week cards. Now also what we've seen before is too EA will find opportunities and find ways to drop these team of the week cards on the game in some sort of upgrade packs some other sort of objective packs or maybe even packs in the store there will be supply like we haven't seen a team of the week upgrade as we see in a long time, right? I think that's going to be something that will make its return during team of the season and also I could see them not requiring just team of the week cards in SBCs as much you often see it during team of the season as well instead of just requiring team of the weeks they also require like, you know they do team of the week or team of the season card, right? Now you do have some other squads in here like the icon of SBCs that say team of the week or foot champion. So, you know they're still going to be some team of the week demand on the market would you want to invest in team of the week cards? You still, I think, could make an investment on some 84s and maybe some 85 rated team of the weeks as close to discards as you can get them usually 85s or like 12 to 13K, 84s are at discards that's going to be something to watch very closely with this week's team of the week which I don't think this upcoming team of the week that's dropping today is going to be supplied that much because it's not going to get supplied from weakening rewards in the tradeable packs because those rewards are changing but if you can get any 80, I would even say 83s 83s and above team of the week cards as close to 11,000 coins basically discard as you can get them there is of course the lack of supply that's going to be hitting the market on this team of the week cards so we could see those prices rise we're going to have a lot of SBCs during team of the season so that is not a bad investment I just don't think it's going to be like the no brainer investment in everybody pictures because EA is going to find a way to supply team of the week cards into our clubs via SBCs or objectives so that those prices on the market don't go up too much so that was the last thing I wanted to point out with weakening rewards really quickly also this is big news division rivals we're going to have red footchamps items in division four and above if you're in divisions five through 10 which is like a wake up call to me I haven't played rivals in the past like two months in this game because the rewards just did not seem worth it especially if you can play homegrown 11 every single week and get better rewards and more fodder from that then playing rivals now EA have up the ante to wanting to play rivals if you're in Div 4 and above you're going to get red items depending on your division and the milestone rank you reach at the end so the only problem with this is it looks like you're going to have to get the red picks you'll be earning those in the milestone rank so at the very end of the season which is probably going to be a long season over a month long so that's kind of like maybe something you can kind of worked on towards the end of the month when those objectives or when those SBCs would actually get released but I mean that's not bad honestly we take it right it's another thing with EA is going above and beyond to put out better rewards and to kind of give better rewards at this stage of the game so we take it elite division more red player picks that's a W we can't complain about that at all we're going to see the final update in the coming days in this game even squad battles are going to be receiving some Tots rewards as well silver and higher can earn you Tots rewards that increase as you go higher so that's a W honestly this whole big refresh of the team of the season mode rewards is such a big W now how is it going to impact the market right we've talked about it just shortly a little bit already it's going to bring more demand for team buying and for people to buy cards for their teams to play the weekend like especially with the objective there that kind of shows that you can have players or that you can get extra packs from having players from different leagues get three wins you switch to another team get three wins there's going to be a lot of people that are very very interested in that so there's going to be so much price movement every single weekend on this game because people are going to be looking at cards that they could potentially buy for their team to then be trading in and out of their squad to then go on to that next objective to get those extra packs it's going to be an absolutely incredible time in these next three four, five, six weeks on FIFA 23 to trade and to flip cards because there's going to be constant demand as people are out trying players buying players to fit into their weakening squads to get those objectives done and of course team of season always brings a lot of gameplay demand because people are trying to get those red team of season cards and the fact that we have a real card design for those is just absolutely crazy so that's going to help the market but it's probably not going to help the market truly until we get after the start of team of season this Friday right now the market's still kind of in its low-ish price range some of these cards are going up Darwin Nunez who was under 400K he's like 440,000 coins right now remember when Felix was 500,000 coins we looked at him on like Sunday and then he's up like 50 or 60K he is about 550,560 so these rare cards have started to go back up a little bit, right? We look at our Golden Bopay who was 345,000 coins he is currently 360K so up a little bit not crazy but that's probably how the market's going to trend until we get to Friday it does depend on some leaks it does depend on the loading screen they're probably going to update the loading screen today as a part of Wednesday content that's probably going to be part of what they do now we do have a couple other leaks and we kind of looked at these really shortly and talking about some Tots moments cards but we have two leaks or actually three Joe Ellington is added to come as an objective for a community team of the season that could be a very interesting objective card Brazilian links in the Premier League Joe Ellington kind of a FIFA favorite card could be very overpowered it'd be very interesting to see how they boost the stats on his card I think in the Community Tots voting he was listed as a midfielder so maybe they would give him a midfielder card probably deserved that could be a really juice card that a lot of people would be interested in that's our first official foot sheriff Community Tots leak and then we have a couple other leaks coming from the Eredivisie Bijlo as a goalkeeper not bad and then of course we have Hanco the center back could be really really overpowered just would not have as great of links you think about center backs in the Eredivisie you think about Timber right with the Dutch links the IX links that he had last year I guess this year as well so Hanco being Feynard he's definitely going to link to other Feynard cards that will be in team a season because they are absolutely killing it in the league but I don't know how overpowered that's going to be because of that nation link that may not be as great but still a really cool card it's going to be in the game Eredivisie center back there that could be pre-stacked those are the leaks that we have right now for upcoming players now watch the loading screen like I mentioned again watch that today watch some more news for players to be leaked in and a part of the upcoming team of the season squads now a couple other leaks that we have first of all today's content at Wednesday we talked about this yesterday it didn't drop yesterday hopefully it's going to drop today according to what this leak says that 85 plus player pick one of three SBC is potentially coming to the game today as well so if you're taking a look at fodder if you have been lazy listing your fodder prices yesterday they went down a little bit right 85s were at 13, 14,000 coins now they're in the 12k range 83s, 84s still up your high rated fodder starting to dip a little bit I think this is literally just the change of people starting to list a few of these cards up because they realize that the kind of demand is starting to filter out and it's more of the supply that is coming in so GGs if you sold these guys you know Monday we were kind of talking about this Monday night yesterday in the video that it was a good day to sell those cards yesterday and they definitely did drop off right there was probably a little bit of supply that came in from maybe a couple the SBCs that an individual packs inside of them in the SBC section that people are still doing but you can tell that that demand is dropping off and you're seeing the prices go back down we have to keep a close eye on the middle to high tier fodder this weekend as we have some SBCs refreshing one big SBC refreshing on Friday even though it's team this season with a lot of pack supply up coming we're gonna have to keep a close eye on that but low tier fodder still for me I think your 85s are gonna go up a little bit more it just depends on the requirement of this player pick SBC today because I do believe that is going to be dropping and then of course like we mentioned the last team of the week of this game what is it gonna look like I'm very very interested to see what EA might do for this very last team week in a prediction here in Fopen we've got Hummels we've got Joe Wellington that's interesting if that would happen Openda he just got a players a month though Lukaka, Lukaku Lukash Paqueta Ledesma interesting looking team of the week nothing super crazy we will see what EA dropped today on this game hopefully they drop a banger come on EA last team week of the year you gotta know you gotta drop a banger there so we'll see if that's a part of the content today but today I think we'll also get we have not had the league one 75 times 11 pack yet we've had all the other leagues except for the league one I think that might be our upgrade pack dropping today on this game just another reminder to do your daily log in SBC upgrade be crafting any and all of these SBCs that you could potentially do with the fodder that you have in your club I just sent to my club some more 84s some more 85s that I had on my transfer list from a big club stock that I did last week I'm trying to do this 86 plus double upgrade every day because I think for me this one is the one that's really worth it because you get two players 86 plus yeah I know it's tough to pack Tots cards because you're only getting two it's not like you're getting you know 11 players like the other 81 times 11s but I see potential with this right so 84 rated squad no informs easy requirements easy done that's another 86 plus squad or pack save for me I'm gonna be doing a lot of these packs this week I gotta do this 81 times 11 primarily I'm gonna be doing as much of these from here on out to the end of the week as I can possibly do because guys team of the season is this Friday man it's getting close the hype is building and hopefully the hype continues to build today on FIFA 23 we're gonna talk about it all on stream today as we get the new content so if you're excited for that and you wanna drop in there drop in the twitch.tv slash the foot account link down below in description if you just wanna click on
