 Hey guys, it's Nate, AKA the Foot Accountant. Welcome back to the channel. We are now only one day away from foot birthday. The leaks are flowing, the information is coming, and we gotta talk about how this Foot Birthday promo is looking because there are some cards coming that look absolutely nuts. And EA looked like they're doing the business with some of these upgrades, but is there actually a little bit of a lack of hype for some of these other cards in other areas? That's what I wanna talk about today in this video and how that might impact the market over the coming days because the market still is kinda just staying at the same level. Since we had the crazy crash earlier in the week, it's been pretty even on most cards. So we'll talk about that, and of course today is the last day of Foot Ballers with the big Edison available in objectives. We'll look at that and what that means for the end of the Foot Ballers promo, and talk about the potential for a fodder investment on one specific area of the market because there are gonna be a lot of SBCs still sticking around of a higher rated quality throughout this next Foot Birthday promo. So we're gonna take a look at all that more in today's video. If you're excited for it, and this video helps you at all today, hit the thumbs up on it, and subscribe if you're new. Let's start with a bit of a content overview like we usually do yesterday, pretty quiet day. We had the Madawake SBC, of course, tying into the objective, in my opinion, might be the worst one out of the sets of the place to style objectives, but of course, we're getting it done. It was a cheap SBC to do 82 squad and I think an 84 in inform. So really easy to do and it's really easy to get his upgraded card too. Just nothing super special with this, four star, four star, medium low, decent dribbling stats and he's got pace. But nothing super crazy. We did have Ramadan objective and we had the Silver Stars for a Podolski, which was really dope, big fan of that Podolski. And I like that EA is not making us play through the entirety of Silver Stars to get a token. Same thing with the first owner Fiesta, right? Like I haven't even finished this, I might, but you only have to win one game to get that swaps token. So we had our fifth token yesterday dropped in the win three segment of Silver Stars for a pretty nice Podolski, a kind of a legend of foot birthday in his own right. Had that card a couple of years ago during foot birthday that was absolutely cracked. So we had all of that yesterday and a team of the week that, you know, even though EA gifted out weekend league qualification for this weekend league, I mean, there's definitely not a lot of demand for the team of the week to get in a red picks. This is the best card in team of the week, Frankie DeYoung, 119,000 coins. That is underwhelming to say the least, but it is what it is. You can still get nice rewards from week in league with the player picks and stuff like that, just not so much with the reds. There's a couple of nice cards in team of the week, but it's not like a couple of previous weeks we've had where we've had some big names in it. So pretty quiet day yesterday. Today might be kind of quiet too, except for the Edison. We'll talk about that in a bit, but let's talk about foot birthday. Now the official card design has been added into the game. It is in here. I don't have the foot birthday icon design as of yet, but we do have a foot birthday card design and it sounds like there might be multiple versions of this as we look at some of the leaks and talk about what foot birthday looks like. We got a brand new loading screen yesterday with more players on it. EA has, this is like kind of crazy from EA. They dropped the first loading screen on Monday, showing icon and the regular foot birthday card design. And then yesterday and Tuesday, Tuesday and Wednesday, both we had updates to the loading screen showing us new cards, Puskas, Bernardo Silva, and Jarzinio. These icon leaks, guys. Let's start and get into this. These cards for the icons look absolutely insane for foot birthday. And I think that's where a lot of the hype is with this promo right now. We know we're getting cantona, right? We've talked about that leak. We even knew we were getting Jarzinio. That has been leaked. But Jarzinio, think about it, right? Foot share have confirmed this in a tweet just a little bit ago. He said, foot birthday icons are coming as five star skill moves or five star week foot. I would presume this would also be true for the regular foot birthday cards because we've seen every single card on the loading screen either have a five star week foot or a five star skill move little tag at the top. And that's just always what's a part of foot birthday, right? So that's meeting our expectations there. That is what something that we wanted to see, which is very nice. Now, a few more of these icon leaks. This is where it looks cracked, guys. Cantona, Jarzinio, you start moving up the list. Some of the leaks we saw yesterday, Rivaldo is gonna be an SBC. I think a lot of people are excited for Rivaldo because he is gonna be an SBC and probably getting a five star week foot, which would make him four star skills, five star week foot, unless EA wanted to do something crazy and give him five five, we would love that. But a lot of people would love this card. It would be a finally usable Rivaldo Brazilian icon with probably stats pretty close to this usable in game. Just the card that you don't often get to use because kind of like the Javi Alonso during Team of the Year, it's just that weak foot, right? That hurts it so much and not super meta because of it. And of course, Javi Alonso's problem was the pace, not here with Rivaldo. But you know what I'm saying, there's one thing that kind of holds the card back and EA are gonna upgrade that to make it meta. So depending on the price point of this, which it shouldn't be too crazy, this is a pretty big name icon and of course it's a Brazilian icon, but hopefully it's not that expensive and hopefully it comes out this weekend with a five five boost or at least a four five because that will be a really nice SBC to have. So that was our SBC from all the team or from the foot birthday icons, Rui Costa, right? Finally, a pretty meta unusable Rui Costa. I hope they give some boosts for cards like this. Now these are all stats predicted. Let me point this out. So the Rui Costa stats here, even the Jarzinho, even the Rivaldo, remember how they did a team of the year icons where they got some pretty massive boosts on guys like Vintage, especially Beckham, right? With like plus 11 pace. I hope something like that comes into play with a Rui Costa, something completely unexpected, just a really big boost to his card. And again, gonna have five star weak foot or five star skills, but it only gets better from here. Next up we have, we'll talk about those other cards in a second, we have Pushgas. Pushgas is getting a card guys and he's gonna have a five star weak foot. Pushgas is gonna be absolutely nuts. That is incredible from EA Sports. The icons that they are picking are what's really bringing the hype right now. Of course George Best's gonna have five star skill moves, right? We saw that from the loading screen. So I believe George Best is gonna be five four for that card there. And then moving up the list a bit more, we have Mateus as a midfielder like EA Sports. I mean Mateus has already had a World Cup icon but he is getting another upgrade. And he's gonna be close to all 90 stats around the entire card. I mean this concept shows 83 dribble and 86 physical but that's a really, really big midfield upgrade for Mateus. We also have a Rush icon card. Hopefully they give him, well they will but you know five star skills would be nice for him just to kind of mix it up and make him a pretty usable card. The icons that have been leaked guys look really, really good. I heard somebody else talking about Raul as a potential icon leak as well. So you think about the five five cards that are gonna be released. You've got Cantona, five star, five star. Jarsinho's gonna be five star, five star. And a couple more of these guys that are gonna be regular foot birthday players are gonna be five star, five star as well. Like this Joao Felix. The icons to me look really, really hype. Now I'm not saying that the foot birthday regular players do not but I think the icons right now are carrying a little bit of the extra hype that the promo player leaks maybe lack. Just a little, not a lot, but just a little. And specifically with these icon cards I just mentioned some of those really, really insane ones that we could see. If you have some pretty expensive attackers on this game I think that these brand new cards are gonna hurt some of the market on some of these really top tier attackers. You think about how much a five star weak foot Puchgas is gonna cost. A Cantona that's five five. A Jarsinho that is five five. Jarsinho five star, five star might be like eight to 10 million coins depending on how rare he is and how much they juice the stats up. These, some of these cards could be incredibly rare and incredibly expensive. Mateus probably gonna be a couple million coins. I would be a little bit not worried but I would be careful with some of the top tier cards on this game. I just feel like with these brand new icons coming out some of your top tier strikers and attackers might take a little bit of a hit. If they're not down too much already I just feel like that market actually could take a bit of a hit on the attacking end because of how good these icons look. Now the players that are actually in the foot birthday promo team I think also look good and they've already started to impact the market but I wanted to mention that for some of you guys with a lot of coins with some big boy, you know, Peleys, maybe Eusebios, maybe tradeable Croix not saying they're gonna crash in price like crazy but just saying maybe be careful with those. They could see some drops as people wanna sell that card to go try a brand new foot birthday icon. Now let's talk about some of the other foot birthday card leaks. First one we had is Joao Felix. I was a little disappointed when we saw this on the screen in the stream yesterday. These are predicted stats again by the way but if the stats are gonna be this good and they're not any better than this I was disappointed because this Joao Felix doesn't look like that much of an upgrade over his Winter Wild cards but yes I know it would be five star, five star but of course this Felix went down yesterday as people saw the leak it's kind of back up a little bit and I think these cards are impacting the market a bit more right now. Joao Felix and Darwin Nunez. This is a big boy leak as well. I mean you look at these stats that are predicted this isn't that big of an upgrade over as ones to watch it's like some plus twos, plus threes very possible to get a cracked out Darwin Nunez. I would guess that they would give him five star weak foot because he is three star, three star on his base card. I hope they would give him a four star skill move boost as well or whichever way they go with it. I hope that he's either five four or four five. I hope they don't leave him as a three star skills or a three star weak foot because the way I'm thinking about this is Nunez and Joao Felix probably not getting team of the season cards right? So hopefully EA is knowing that and wants to make these cards usable beyond this next couple of weeks because we're getting into that team of the season part of the cycle where if they want to make these cards decent and usable and get people really excited about them giving them kind of those like team of the season esk boosts in terms of the weak foot and a skill move boost as well that we see so much at the end of the game it's kind of needed for a couple of these cards but Nunez and Joao Felix have actually started to impact the market a good amount. You specifically look at some of your mid to top tier center attacking mids and strikers on this game in the Premier League. This Firmino card yesterday, he's down a little bit, he's back up a little. He was down to like 580K but he was like a 650K card before yesterday. Some of your Premier League attackers have gone down in value. Erling Holland special cards. I bought a couple Erling Holland ones to watch to try to flip out of the rarity. I bought a couple at 500 and 510K and I, oh yeah, he's back up. Nice, 550, 560K but he is down. He was like 600 and over 600,000 coins yesterday. He is down in price because of the Joao Felix and the Nunez. Those are some pretty big cards. I do believe both of these guys will carry a price tag over a million coins dropping tomorrow on the game. There's gonna be a lot of hype for them with the boosts that they do get. Now moving on, let's look at a couple more cards. Bernardo Silva, when we were seeing these leaks yesterday, another reason why Firmino and some of those other Premier League attackers might be down, it was like, oh my goodness, is this entirely a Premier League promo? Once again, Bernardo Silva 97 dribbling was on the loading screen, confirmed stat there and of course he is gonna have a five star weak foot. So that's gonna be an incredible card, great dribbling stats, four star, five star and probably pretty cracked in game. 93 rated is the concept, probably gonna be pretty expensive as well. One of the headliners of this promo squad. Moving on, Thomas Muller getting a full birthday. A lot of attackers, a lot of center attacking mids for most of these leaks so far. I'm kinda hoping that Muller gets the five star skills. That'd be a very fun and different Thomas Muller card to have. Kinda would remind me of like a Podolski player from FIFA 20 or 21 whenever it was that he had that SBC with the Marco Royce that I remember using in my team. That could be a fun Thomas Muller card with a big pace boost. Maybe a good attacking center midfielder as well depending on how big of a boost he gets. Moving up the list, we have Koke. This is one of the leaks that we're like, ooh, that doesn't look that great. But Koke does not have any true special cards yet. This year, I believe. Besides like his World Cup card, if I remember correctly, but 81 pace is not gonna cut it. Of course, we just had your rentay, but I don't think EA is trying to compete with your rentay with this card here. Hopefully it gets a bigger pace boost and this could be a pretty cheap card. Maybe, you know, a couple hundred thousand coins but also pretty usable for that full birthday Koke. Again, probably a five star weak foot, right? Nice card to use in the midfield. Passing it with either foot. And then here's a pretty big one, Zenchenko with the passion on that dynamic image. Mudrik links, right? The Ukrainian links on the left side and the Premier League. Also the Arsenal links to guys like Saliba to Martinelli as well. 91 pace, 87 defense and 82 physical. He's had the out of positions card this year and that is it. So this could be a very interesting card. I know we just had Furpo, those five star skills in objectives. I'm kind of hoping they would maybe give Zenchenko a five star weak foot so that you could feel good about playing him on either side of the pitch. That would make him a very kind of like Cancelo-esque defender in FIFA. I think that could be really hype if he were to have an upgrade like that. But as of right now, yeah, those are all the league players that we have at the moment. We're missing some leaks. We are, we really are. We've got a lot of icons. I don't imagine we're gonna get too many more but I think we're missing a good amount of leaks for the actual foot birthday players themselves. So keep an eye on Twitter today. Keep an eye out there for more news and info because with the way that it looks, we'll talk about this in a second. With the way that it looks, you take a look at a lot of prices on the market. People are seeing these leaks and they're not really panic selling. A lot of card prices are kind of staying the same. You know, a couple of them have gone down a little bit but a lot of your fantasy cards are still maintaining their prices pretty well. And you know, there's not a whole lot of panic on most special cards on the market after what we saw on kind of like Monday and Tuesday because I really think that the leaks haven't given people enough of a reason to panic even more as of yet. So we're gonna have to start to see some expected stats and we're gonna have to start to see really something crazy from EA to make there be another really big push of panic on this game because right now with the leaks that we have, the cards look good and yes, there's gonna be five star skills and five star weak foot but I don't know if we're gonna see a ton more panic on the market guys, especially if the leaks don't continue to be that amazing and if they just look okay. Now of course, again, like I said, it all comes down to the actual stats, not the predicted stats but if the promo doesn't look that amazing some of these cards that are the most meta cards like a Ginola, you know, this is a card that people wanna have in their team regardless, right? He's still a little bit low from where he was and if you look at a lot of these graphs, yes, these guys have still dropped off in price but they're not as low as what they were on like Tuesday. I just don't know if we're gonna get as low as we were earlier in the week unless something else changes. So if there's a card that you want for your team keep an eye out for the leaks today keep an eye out on the information because it's not like cards are absolutely skying right now on this game in every area but some of them have just kind of started to creep up a little bit in price. It helps some of the fantasy cards have gotten their upgrades right, which we covered yesterday but you know, other cards like Alowayrin, right? 770,000 coins, you look at his graph from Tuesday he went all the way down to 680, he was under 700K bounced back up to about 780, 760 and he's kind of been between 750 and 780. I would expect the market to kind of be in just kind of the same middle of the road unless we get big leaks today and into tomorrow. I'm not expecting anything crazy guys, I'm really not because there's also a lot of gameplay demand at the moment and we talked about that in yesterday's video as well but that's why there's been such great fluctuations on the market is because EA gifted people that we can lead qualification access once again and there's a lot of opportunity to play the game and there's a lot of demand for that. So the market right now is a decently healthy place. I'm not expecting a ton of panic unless the leaks look crazy. Now one very kind of cool and interesting thing that we just learned about foot birthday as well. Talking more about this promo is the twin mini release concept that foot sheriff has just tweeted about a couple of hours ago. Two versions of the same player, both at the same time one with five star skills and the other with five star weak foot. So it's kind of like the Charles de Catillera SBC where you had one with a five star skills and one with a five star weak foot except they would have the same stats in this scenario and they would both be in packs at the same time not like one and one which this sounds very weird. One with skill moves and one with weak foot. Maybe it would be back like in Future Stars and a couple of years ago we had like the two different versions of Giovanni Reina and Diogo.Lo and Reese James. You guys remember that where there was one that was like a right back Reese James and like a CDM Reese James or like I think it was like a striker Reina and a right mid Reina. Maybe they will be in two separate weeks maybe like week one's mini release with the same players as week two with one five star weak foot and five star skills. That's a little bit confusing to me because I don't know how you put two different versions of the same card in packs at the same time. He says there'll be a small difference on the design above their overall you will be able to see a specific symbol. So if you want to know if your foot birthday card has the twin upgrade just check above the overall. Yeah, I guess we're gonna need some more information from EA on this but two versions of the same player with the differing skills and the weak foot. That is cool. And we've seen something like that before but this almost kind of sounds like it's a little bit different as well. Now we have had some packs added to the code as well. We mentioned it early in the week. Eric Cantona is gonna be a free loan foot birthday icon card in the moments section and a lot of this stuff that I see here are the packs that we saw from leaks earlier in the week. Guaranteed foot birthday token pack definitely gonna be in the moments store. 784 plus 585 plus a 383 plus a 384 and 85 plus player pack and a double 84 so some really random fodder packs still not entirely sure where these are gonna be. Those might be in the moments store as well. Who knows? And then a foot birthday refresh pack contains a foot birthday player on loan for 99 games. And then it's just a lot of like player picks and loans and stuff like that. So this one to me I don't know if that's gonna be a store pack an untradable 86 to 88 rated rare gold player pick. And there's a lot of loan player picks in here but that 86 to 88 rated player sounds like it's not a loan. That's a legit player. So maybe this will be like a cheap store pack or it'll be available via objectives but that's kind of the news and info that we have about foot birthday right now. The icons look crazy, right? I think the icons are what people are most excited about but then again, if you think about it the icons are also gonna be super duper expensive. So I'm really excited to see what more leaks we get from players that are gonna be in the promo team. We expect this to be a two week promo. So I hope they make the teams with a lot of players and they make it pretty big and just make this a banger of a promo and make the SBCs and objectives good as well. So I would expect to see more leaks today and that should also set again the precedent for how the market does. If there are a lot of leaks and it looks really sick and there's a lot of big time players and maybe if we start to get some actual stats and not just predicted stats then we could see a bit more movement on the market but if there's cards that you want to buy that are not affected at all by any cards that are leaked I would say that if there's any sort of drop today or if you see a low price like earlier today I picked up a Gretzka 1.39 just cause he was fluctuating and he was pretty low. I picked him up, sold him at 1.51. There's still fluctuation on this marker right now as people are getting ready for foot birthday and stuff like that. So you can trade in that or you can pick up cards for your team at prices that are lower than they were last week just maybe not as low as they were earlier this week. So watch out for that today. That's really gonna set the tone. Leaks always set the tone but today for sure it's gonna be a big day for those. Now also today on Thursday just to round it up here with what's going on with footballers, right? Last day of a new card dropping for footballers, Ederson, this is a big card and I think this is the most meta card out of this entire play two style objective that people are the most interested in. Here's what I would tell you if you have a tradable goalkeeper in your team that is of a decent value, I would think of maybe a guy like Donorum was in form still carries a good amount. Team of the year Courtois, some of the other more expensive goalkeepers in this game not that there are a ton of them but they could actually see a hit in price today. I think this Ederson is gonna be super meta, super valuable for so many people to go ahead and get one of the best objective cards in a while. I hope it's not too many games to go and get but watch out for this card today. We thought the Jack Grievous SBC for his 88 rated card was gonna be expensive and it wasn't, this is our last chance today. I mean, Ederson is a 91 rated so it was 89, right? In an SBC probably gonna be a little expensive but who knows, right? Get your 83s, 84s, 85s ready for one last footballers SBC today for that one. So just kind of keep an eye out on that because I think that's gonna be a really big part of the content today. And then of course at the end if you complete every single objective I'm really curious to see because at the top here it says after you complete this it sounds like you unlock the play two style plus objective. I don't know if that's gonna appear in game before tomorrow at 6 p.m. Or if it will not appear until then as the foot birthday team one pack will be a reward that we'll be able to claim tomorrow as completing all of the play two style objectives. So watch out for that. And marquee matchups today I think is gonna bring us a very interesting opportunity to invest because fodder on the top tier is getting really low. Now the 89 plus World Cup icon is going away. So that's gonna be a decrease in some demand for some fodder but the 87 plus is gonna refresh tomorrow on Friday. And just quickly here at the end of the video I wanna take a look through fodder and talk about this with you guys. First thing with marquee matchups today I actually think that marquee matchups is going to drop the value of low rated fodder. I think that people are gonna open some of the marquee matchups packs today because there's probably gonna be a swaps token as a part of the marquee matchups SBC which will mean basically everybody is doing MMS today. So if you're gonna trade with the requirements for MMS I think you'll be able to make a lot of coins today but low tier fodder, I know it's the last day for those other SBCs that we have like the 82 times 20 that people are stacking up on the campaign, the mixed campaign pack the mixed campaign player pick people will be doing this of course and of course people will be doing the Edison SBC today whatever it requires but I think that you might start to see some of these prices drop with supply and on the top tier 88's guys are 26,000 coins this is mad low like these guys are mad low if you kinda take a look overall 25K even 26K is really, really low for 88's and yes we do have an Mbappe player the month right now we have a Cruyff SBC we have an icon SBC that's going away but probably an icon SBC that's gonna come back later on this weekend and of course with the refresh of that SBC the hero player pick one on Friday I would really start to take a look at between today and tomorrow on Friday there's gonna be a lot of packs open on Friday so I'm hesitant to say that today is the only day you can buy fodder but 87's and up I think look really good for a reinvestment if you already have some of these cards or if you sold them before Mbappe came out or right when Mbappe came out 91's are back down to 60K, 90's are at 50 and with all the high rated SBCs even though Mbappe is crazy expensive guys people are gonna be doing it Cruyff is out there people are gonna be doing that there's other icons that are available if we get a Rivaldo icon SBC and of course an icon upgrade pack which remember when we had the heroes in the Foot Fantasy promo they brought out the hero player pick once again what's to say that EA might not finally include team of the year icons in some sort of an icon upgrade pack since we are moving onto a bigger and better set of icons with the foot birthdays so I really hope we get a banger of an icon upgrade pack in the coming days probably on Sunday, Saturday or Sunday I would expect to see that but I think fodder on the high tier end could be a really really good investment between today and on Friday nights maybe Friday during content depending on what rating of cards you're going for so keep a close eye there the low rated fodder I think I would maybe wait on the low rated fodder to hopefully see a low point on Friday with a lot of our SBCs that require the 82 and 83 rated squads today is the last day to do them so if you're trying to stock up and you're trying to get a couple of those to save packs for foot birthday then there's going to be some demand there but still I would expect to see prices still lower later on in the weekend and what's howling right now 553, 560, right I bought a couple of these in the panic selling today it's been a really good time to trade on the market and I think that's going to continue today as long as the leaks aren't like super insane or somehow change like if we get official stats and cards look crazy right that's kind of the big catalyst it always is but I really want to make that point to you guys because I really think it could be a very interesting day today on this game I'm trading with a lot of icons trading with silvers right list up your silvers there's more in demand of course as people are building those silver teams for silver stars to get that token those prices should kind of maintain their fluctuations here over the weekend as there'll be demand for those this week and next week as we'll probably have another token in silver stars next week as well so I'm going to try to get these flips kind of completed and hopefully we see some more big news today on foot birthday via the leaks via Twitter and all that good stuff so if you enjoyed today's video and if you're excited for foot birthday hit the thumbs up in the video comment down below if you have any questions and subscribe if you're new it's been Nate the foot account and I'll catch you guys on the stream today peace out
