 Hey guys, it's Nate, aka the Foot Accountant. Welcome back to the channel. You guys know what we got today. We got the new upgrades in FIFA 19 Ultimate Team. We got the three. They didn't give us just one or two. They gave us three different variations of upgrade SBCs during footies. Now we finally got these. The first batch is only in packs for a couple more days at the time that I'm recording this. And I'm gonna talk a little bit about these packs since they're out for a week. They are out for an entire week. And that means you can use them for the first batch and you'll be able to open them during the second batch as well. We're gonna talk a little bit about that in a bit. But I wanna take a look at each SBC really quick since you guys probably already know what's going on here. And then we're gonna get into opening the packs. I have five of each. It's not a ton, but it's just a few. I just rinsed my club and we were able to do five of each. So the first 81 to 86 upgrade looks really good. You only need four players. The rest you can use silvers and bronzes for. So this SBC is really, really cheap to do. And this is perfect for icon crafting and crafting SBCs that could be out in the store like the Firmino SBC and stuff like that. And I wanna mention one thing about this SBC, 81 to 86 upgrade, if somebody has a base card like a Sterling right now. Sterling has a special card in packs like the Champions League UCL Final Card, a Rogue to the Final Card. He has an 85 rated base card. So you could technically pack that card out of this pack since the base rating is from 81 to 86. So that's kind of the bee's knees with this one. That is a sick pack. According to Footbin, it costs you 4,000 coins to do that pack. 82 plus rated guarantee gives you one player that is 82 plus rated base card or special card. All you need is gold players, five rares, 30 chem. That one's okay. It costs about 9,000 coins to complete. Then the 81 plus double upgrade is 11 gold, 11 rare players, 40 chemistry, but you do get those two players. So the 82 plus and the 81 double upgrade, I'm kind of like eh on. They're just okay. But the 81 to 86 is the real crafter's dream. Because honestly for that 81 to 86 upgrade pack, you can just do bronze pack method BPM and you can actually, if you do enough bronze packs, you're gonna make enough coins that you can use those bronze that don't sell in this SBC and you can also sell the bronzes and use those coins. Like if you get a squad fitness, that enables you to buy two gold cards that you need to put in that SBC. And you need four gold cards and the rest can be whatever rating, whatever type. So the 81 to 86's are really good. But obviously if these packs don't have good pack weight, they're not gonna be any good to do unless you do tons and tons and tons of them. So I wanna start off as it goes in order here. We're gonna go to the 82 plus packs first, then we'll go to the 81 double upgrade and then to the 81 to 86. So these are the 82 plus packs. First one, we get an 82 rated card and that is Sigurdsen. So not the best start. So again, I am doing five of these packs, five of each pack just to kind of compare them and see how we do. I know it's not a huge sample size. It would have been nicer to do 10 of each, but five of each is a decent start and I wanna just be able to show you guys this because these upgrades are gonna be very, very good for us in this next week. And that's what I wanna make the point of, I'm probably not gonna open too many before Wednesday when the second batch of cards comes out. I'm gonna be saving most of my packs for these upgrade packs until after that batch two comes out because that batch has a lot more promise than the cards in this first batch do. We finally get a board on our third 82 plus and it's going to be Luis Gustavo 83 rated. So the 82 plus are not looking so hot right now. That's for sure. I'm kinda interested to see how the 81 plus double upgrade compares to the 82 plus because you get two cards. Here we go, a walk out on our fourth 82 plus. This looks like a road to the final. Spanish center back, Nacho Fernandez. All right, so an 82 plus, we get an 87 rated road to the final, Nacho Fernandez. We'll take it, you know? 87 rated card, I already had PK in the club so I was really hoping not to see that PK walk out because that would be an untradable duplicate. I don't want that, but that is a nice pack pull. That's our first walk out and our first special card. Very good for SBCs. He's gonna go right into the Maldini SBC which is what I'm working on at the moment. All right, so last 82 plus out of five are we gonna get two walk outs or not? Will we get another board? Okay, so we got five packs, we got one walk out, two boards and 84 and 83 and two other 82s. So, you know, that's just okay. If you're averaging one walk out per five packs, that's honestly not terrible, but that's nothing too spectacular as well. They didn't surprise me that much, but we'll see what these other ones get to. These are 81 plus double upgrade. First one's a walk out. Looks like another road to the final. Oh, just kidding, wants to watch? Who's this? Who's this? Gretzgra? Let's go, man! 81 plus double upgrade. The first one we get wants to watch Gretzgra. That's a big time pull. Coming on the Spurs kit as well, we'll take that. That's a pretty solid pull, anything else? 81 rated Skirtle. The first 81 plus, we do get a pretty solid pull in wants to watch Gretzgra. So, off the bat, I'm liking these 81 plus double upgrades. That's for sure. We get boards in our second double upgrade. Can we get like an 85? We get a French center tack in mid. It's gonna be Paillette. That's an 84. So, right away, we're off to a pretty solid start. One walk out, one special card and an 84 from the 81 plus packs. We're gonna get in pack number three. It's not a walk out. Man, I can see that walk out symbol a couple times. You wanna see it every single stinking time. Another French player, goalkeeper Mandanda. All right, that's an 83. I'm really excited to span these upgrades though after the batch number two comes out. Two 83s actually in that pack, not bad. I'm really excited to see what comes out in batch two. I think there should be tots. There should be headliners. I mean, I feel like EA should have no holding back on this because it's the end of the year, right? It is the end of the year and what are they gonna lose? They're just gonna have people enjoy their game more if they put all of those cards back into packs. We're gonna get a duplicate Juan Mata. Please tell me this is tradable. It is. We'll throw him on the transfer list. So, we got two Manchester United players in that pack right there. Last 81 plus because so far, these have been comparable to the 82s. Very comparable to the 82 plus. It is a board as well. It wasn't gonna be French. That's our third French board in a row. Kingsley Coman. Ooh, rivery. We'll take that. 85 rate of rivery. Not too bad. So, we got an 85 and 84. The Gretzgra and a couple other 82s. So, right now I'd say the 81 pluses are winning over the 82 pluses. Let's get into the 81 to 86, which are, in theory, the least, you have the least amount of chance to get a high level or a high rated card from these unless you hit a special. And we hit Lucas Lieva in the first 81 to 86, which isn't too bad, 83 rated. We will take that. We will send him to the club. Four to go. And these are the perfect ones again. I mentioned this before. These are the perfect SBCs for crafting. If you're gonna do crafting, if you're gonna craft icons, or if you wanna craft a Firmino, or maybe one of the footies winners, this is gonna allow you to do it for a lot cheaper because you can spam a ton of these packs. You can do 100 of these packs for around 400,000 coins if they cost you 4K a piece. That's ridiculous. 100 packs for 400,000 coins. It's pretty nuts when it comes to upgrades. You know, 400 packs out of some of the other upgrades that we've had this year. Like if you did 100 of the 81 plus packs, that would run you about a million coins because they're 10,000 coins a piece. If you did 100 of them, that would be pretty crazy. That would be pretty crazy. All right, we have two 81 to 86 rated plus players left, packs left, excuse me. Nothing too big out of these, but that's kind of what you're gonna expect. If you're doing the 81 to 86, you're gonna spam these. And I could have told you that it was gonna come down to the 81 double upgrade and the 82. It was gonna be between those two packs personally. But you know, we gotta try out the 81 to 86 as well and test our luck. We do get another board. This is our second board. Portugal CDM, is it gonna be Pereira? It is the Nilo Pereira, 83 rated. So two boards out of the five 81 to 86 upgrades. Not terrible. If you're crafting again, that's decent, all right? Here's my thinking on this. We'll go over to footprint for this one. Show you the SBCs again. 10,000 coins for the double upgrade. 4,000 coins for the 81 to 86 and 9K for the 82 plus. I really think that this one, you're gonna get the most consistent. If you're looking for special cards and big polls, I think your 81 plus double upgrade is gonna be the way to go because you get two cards and they're both 81 plus. Yes, it does cost you 10,000 coins, but that's gonna get you your best chance at a special card, in my opinion. Getting walkouts, getting special cards, that's gonna be your best chance for that. If you're looking to craft purely craft SBCs or whatever SBC you wanna go for, like this Firmino, the 81 to 86 is the best bang for your buck. Now, especially as we get into this next set of cards, I feel like in this first set of batch one, there are more cards that are in that 81 to 86 rating. In this second set, we might see a few of them that are actually above that rating, so you might get more golds out of this than you would special cards, but this is still gonna be great for crafting. You're gonna get 84s, 85s, 86s that are perfect for SBCs. And then if you're doing a lot of these, you're gonna get some 81s. And from those 81s, you can either put them into the team of the week SBC or you can put them into like an 81 plus double upgrade and use those there, but that is really nice. Again, you can use a lot of these cards that you get from the 81 to 86. If you don't want to craft icons or players, throw them into a tradable 84 plus team of the week because these are also out for eight more days. So these are actually gonna be in the store when these upgrades go away. So you can use these upgrades to craft just about anything that is in the SBC section right now at the moment. So again, if we're looking for a clear cut winner on this, it really all just depends on what you're going for. The 81 plus double upgrade is gonna give you the best opportunity at packing big time players, special cards that are in packs and all that kind of stuff. And the 81 to 86 upgrade is gonna give you the best opportunity at packing a gold card for grinding out the SBCs and stuff like that. But again, a lot of this is really based upon what happens with batch two and those cards are gonna be coming out here in the next day. So I'm excited for that. I'm gonna be stacking a lot of packs. You're probably not gonna see me do too many more of these 81 to 86 or other upgrade SBCs. We'll do a few. But I'm gonna save most of these SBCs for the next batch of players because I think it could be something special. I think it could be pretty good. And I'm really crossing my fingers that we do get something good from the batch too. But again, GGCEA for putting out this content today. Firmino was a solid SBC. It's about half the price, a little bit over half, but still a big time drop in what it was when it was first out a couple of weeks ago during team of season, maybe about a month ago when that came out. So that's a big time deal from them. GGCEA and then GGCEA for giving us three different upgrade SBCs. Like, thank you. I was expecting one, maybe two. And we got three different ones. So foot economist, Zaro, Corey, whoever is responsible for this. I think foot economist, I think he's watching these videos. He hears me. That's just my take. Nah, I'm just kidding. But hey, whoever was responsible for it. Thank you very much for putting these out. GGCEA is the end of the game and you're allowing us to have fun. We really, really appreciate that. Yeah, it's gonna be really fun the next couple of weeks. Hopefully those upgrade packs get refreshed maybe towards the end of batch two into batch three a little bit because each batch has impacts for two weeks. So hopefully we get upgrade packs again at the end on batch three for one last time we can do upgrades if we really want to. I think a lot of people would be looking forward to that. But again, if you enjoyed this video, smash the thumbs up on it, comment down below if you have any questions and subscribe to the channel. If you're new, it's been Nate, Foot Accountant. Catch you guys later. Peace out.
