 Hey guys, it's Nate, AKA the Foot Accountant. Welcome back to the channel. I did not see a loading screen right there, so I'm gonna go in and back out again because I don't know what promo is coming today, but I think that it is going to be Foot Birthday. I think we have to get a promo today, and this is the timeframe of when Foot Birthday usually is, because we are, wow, a companion app. All right, so there's not really any loading screen right now at the moment when I'm recording this. They're trying to get you to download the companion app. Okay, well EA Sports, I would like you to drop the Foot Birthday promo today, and it makes sense for them to drop it today based on the date of when their actual Foot Birthday is, because this is like the anniversary of FIFA Ultimate Team, and I was wrong. One of my videos last week, or earlier this week, I said it was the 10th anniversary of FIFA Ultimate Team. That is incorrect. It is the 11th anniversary, since Foot Birthday started in FIFA in March 2009. So it was 11th birthday for FIFA and for Foot, Foot technically. This is what got us all excited earlier this week about the Foot Banner name. They added a banner, a TFO, and I don't know what the bottom thing is, but they basically added stuff for Foot Birthday in the code. So we know that it's coming, right? We know that it's coming, but we don't have anything else just yet in-game, no loading screens. We don't have any player card concepts in the code. So we don't have any of that yet, which is unfortunate, but hopefully it's coming very soon, because I feel like this should come today because it just makes sense for them to run this type of promotion today. So what I'm gonna do in this video is talk about Foot Birthday. We're gonna talk about a lot of stuff that happened last year, and in years prior, you guys might not remember some of this stuff, but there's been some really, really cool events and stuff that has taken part during the Foot Birthday promo, especially last year. This was one of the best promos, in my opinion, that we had last year. There was objectives, there were SBCs. We had flashback, we had icon moments SBCs. We had, I think we had like three packs, maybe? We had, yeah, Foot Anniversary players. We had the engagement reward. Again, they did another one of these engagement rewards, which they'd done one of those this year so far, and they did another one then. So I'm a huge fan of those. So I wanna take a look at what happened last year in FIFA 18, because as you guys probably remember, this is a sick promo, and then we'll talk about some possibilities, like some predictions for some cards that couldn't get into this year's Foot Birthday squad, if they kind of keep it along the same lines as what they have in years past. But last year, we had the Foot Birthday squad last year, which it doesn't show on here. It's over here on this website. This was the Foot Birthday squad last year. We can look at it here as well. It was a awesome set of, the player selection for Foot Birthday was unbelievable. The position changes were great, Sun, right wing, Vitzel center back, Kyle Walker center back, David Alba right mid, the position changes for this were awesome. The Bale, the Mbappe, the Griezmann, the Coutinho, Douglas Costa was a hit, Sané was a hit. The left back, Salah. Like last year, this promo EA went all out with and it was super duper exciting, and I hope they do the same thing this year because it's a huge opportunity right now with so many people at home, so many people playing the game of Foot. They have a huge opportunity to put out a promo and to get some engagement because of a promo and a popular promo at that Foot Birthday. So again, Striker Van Dyke and then of course, you remember the SBCs we had as well. We had the Nani flashback with a Sergio Ramos position change, Foot Birthday card. We had the Robin end of an era with the Tyrion Ri, the Maldini with the Lukaku center back card. That was awesome. The Dumbia and then a Parasit as well. So there were tons of SBCs and objectives that came out. You look at all these cards. I remember doing William last year. I did the Vidal last year, a right-wing Werner and a flashback David Via as well. So there were tons, tons of content released last year during Foot Birthday, and I hope that they do that again this year with Foot Birthday again. I'll take a look at FIFA 18s for Birthday as well. Now this was cool because we got position changes for these cards as well. By the way, I don't know if you ever remember this, but the OGs will remember. This is the famous Cristiano Ronaldo snipe card that I had. I sniped this card at 158,000 coins and sold it for 1.5 or 1.6 mil. That was like my biggest ever snipe at the time. It was dope. But anyway, that's a special card to me. But this was the Foot Birthday card that was in FIFA 18. As you guys might remember, some of these cards were pretty dope. Position changes, the Cuyate, the Bale left-back card was a hit. This Royce Center forward was a big time hit. So there's a lot of potential with Foot Birthday. The stuff that they did last year, the stuff that they have done two years ago, there's a ton of potential. This is ongoing throughout the many years of foot. This has been one of the top promos that we have had every single year. And people look forward to this promo all the time. So the fact that we have gotten some of the stuff does lean me towards thinking that it could be today, but it also does not mean that it could be today because from what these guys that released this code have said, sometimes they put out this code for the promos a week in advance. So there's a possibility Foot Birthday could be next weekend, which I hope that it's not. I hope it's today, but there is a possibility it could be next weekend as well. But I don't think EA is gonna forget or stop doing this promo because this is big for them, right? This is pretty, pretty big for EA sports. Last thing I wanna look at is just a throwback. This is Foot Birthday celebration from FIFA 15. Started on March 29th of 2015. They had this cup. This is what I wanna point out. This is the content that we used to get back in the day. Foot Birthday Cup play at least one match in the Foot Birthday Cup for a chance to win rare tradable informs from previous team of the weeks, from previous team of the weeks, full list of available informs down below. And look at these informs. They weren't just informs, bro. They were team of the years. 99 rated Ronaldo, 98 messy, 96 messy, 95 messy. Look at all these cards that you could have gotten from winning that tradable as well. Unbelievable, unbelievable the content. Can you imagine if they put out a cup in Foot 20? If they added like a, use the friendlies mode for goodness sakes. We haven't used this mode like all year and they said it was gonna be awesome, right? We haven't had many objectives built around this. Kind of disappointed, not gonna lie. But build like a cup mode inside of friendlies or something and then let us play for a cup. That would be sick, right? I think they'd be freaking dope. But anyways, that was a throwback for FIFA 15 content. Anyways, speaking of cards that come into Foot Birthday today, if that promo does end up running, I wanna look at a few. First one, I wanna talk about is Antoine Griezmann. Of course, this is a promo, right? EA could put anybody they want in this promo. Griezmann has been a card that so many people I've used in FIFA throughout the years and throughout the past couple years. I think he actually got into last year's Foot Birthday, but he hasn't had a special card in a while. He's got the ones to watch. He's got a left wing position change in form and then he's got a UCL and has a rare gold. I could see Griezmann getting either a left wing or a right wing card or maybe a center attack and mid card as well to get into Foot Birthday because he's just kind of like do a special card, right? It just seems like Griezmann hasn't had one in a while, hasn't had it in form, hasn't had any part in any promotions. So I feel like he could get into Foot Birthday just for that reason. Second person I wanna talk about is Raheem Sterling. Now this would be a special card I think people would go after. Sterling does not have any centrally positioned cards and if they're going with the position change kind of, you know, thing again, if that's what they're gonna base this promo off of, a striker or center attack in mid 91 rated or 92 rated Raheem Sterling would be dope. Four star skill moves, only a three star weak foot, but he's small. He fits them at it to this game, give them a decent passing boost and make it more usable at center attack in mid, which is what they did last year with like a FIFA 19 cards. If you go and look at those cards, they boosted specific stats for the position that they were moved to. Like when they moved Van Dyke from center back to striker, they boosted his shooting like plus 20 or something crazy like that to give him 87 shooting. So maybe they would boost the passing a little bit and maybe boost the physical to get the stamina up on a guy like Sterling if they gave him like a center attack in mid or a striker card, which high medium work rates, he would be pretty solid at center attack in mid. He would fit the meta really well and there'd be a lot of people interested in using that card. So I think Sterling has the high possibility of getting in. And then another card that I think could get in, Serge Nabri. Serge Nabri's been having a phenomenal year. He's got a couple of position change cards, right? He's got his normal right wing. He's got the player of the month. He's got an inform and his normal cards. But then he also has a left wing man of the match. Give this guy a striker or a center attack in mid card. Again, a lot of people would love to use him. Four star, four star, high medium work rates. He would be fantastic at a striker position for his speed, for his agility and balance. Even decent strength for a player of his size. How tall is he? Five foot nine. So again, he fits this game's meta. So that'd be a really cool center attack in mid or striker card in Serge Nabri. And then the last one that I want to shout out is more of a defensive one, right? More of a defensive one, Alex Tellez. Can you imagine an Alex Tellez center mid card? Look at the work rates on this man. The work rates on this man are high, high. Can you imagine, he's already holed gang. EA Sports, drop him a 90 rated center mid card, right? Boost up, maybe his physical a tiny bit. I don't know, you just give him a little bit of a boost anywhere. This card is nuts already. I know he's only got a two star weak foot. He's only got three star skill moves. But that would be a card that would be pretty hype. A central mid fielder, Alex Tellez would be dope. Brazilian, easy to link. A lot of people would want to try him. And of course, he's holed gang already. Solid player and team player, all right. So those are his traits. Good stamina. I just think a position change on this Tellez card would be pretty dope as well. The only thing is, are they gonna go back with the position change type of motto for this promo? Because that's what they did in FIFA 18 and FIFA 19. But they just did that sort of thing with shape shifters, right? We've got a central Messi card that we all know came out during shape shifters. They kind of used that same idea during shape shifters. So I don't know if they're gonna revert back to, I think what they did in like FIFA 17, I think in FIFA 17, if I remember correctly, I'm gonna look this up right now. Think in FIFA 17, they gave foot birthday cards. They did like throwbacks to cards that were very overpowered in past FIFA's, which is exactly what they did. If you guys remember FIFA 17 foot birthday, we had the return of Seidu Dumia, Fernando Torres, David Villa, we had Blasio Kowsky, Abate, David Luis Centerback, Alcabana, El Shirawi. Like these were cards that were throwbacks to other FIFA cards in previous FIFA's that were very OP. Darren Bent, I don't know if you guys remember him. Esvain, oh, Ibarbo, Agbaun Lahore, Mnike, Kandreva, Ashley Cole, and Etto. Like some of these cards aren't even in foot anymore, but there are some of them that still are. They could throw Agbana back in. People will remember this. El Shirawi, sure, Sturridge, sure. I don't know about Blasio Kowsky, but they could easily do something like this again where they put in like, imagine Jack Butler getting a foot birthday card or Chris Smalling getting a foot birthday card as kind of like a throwback to an overpowered card that was used in a previous FIFA. So again, there's tons and tons of potential with foot birthday, because it's just kind of like an EA running a promo that is based on what's hype and representing what has been hype in their game for the past couple of years. So I've been saving a few packs for this. I don't know if you guys have been, but I've been saving a couple packs because there's really nothing going on this week. These are the objective packs and week and league rewards packs. I'll open the two player pack. Why not? But I've been kind of saving these because I was waiting for a promo this weekend because I really, really thought we were getting a promo today. Now we don't have any confirmation on that just yet, but there's still hope, right? They've been throwing, they can throw stuff into the code. They can throw stuff in whatever they want. I'll take an 83, don't mind if I do. And there is hope today for foot birthday still. So keep your eyes open for a loading screen, all right? And just keep, be ready because it wouldn't be the EA thing to do without running a promo. And since they scheduled these promos so far out, I know that you could say, hey, maybe the coronavirus is effecting this, everything since EA is now working from home. This might be a problem because they're not able to make content up like this. Actually, as we saw with some of the stuff yesterday as content with like the UCL SBCs, it is really obvious that they pre-plan content weeks, if not months ahead of time because we had a Champions League pack supply SBC yesterday that of course was probably something they wouldn't have released knowing a couple of months ago that the Champions League was gonna be canceled, but they let it go anyways, right? And they kind of changed their, they had a throwback UEFA marquee matchups they put out or like a flashback marquee matchups to a Champions League game in the past, which was, I thought that was interesting, but you know, that's the kind of stuff they schedule months ahead of time. And I feel like this promotion would be something that they would schedule months ahead of time as well. So all we've been doing on FIFA this week has been grinding icon swaps. I know that's what you guys have been doing. I've been trying to work on it as well. That's kind of the only thing that we've had to do if they let us go another week without a promo. I don't know how well that's gonna be received by the community. And again, I think that would be missing out on a lot of just potential, a lot of potential with the state of just honestly, the world and a football right now. One thing I also wanna point out to you guys is a, this is a tweet. I'm gonna take you over to Twitter for a second. This is a guy who works for EA Sports. He is an associate producer on Madden NFL 20. So this is another EA Sports game. It's Madden instead of FIFA, right? But I wanna show you what this guy says. I wanna show you what this guy says. And I just kind of posed the question of why can't we have this in foot? He says, hey, Madden Ultimate Team fans, just wanna thank everyone as the Madden Ultimate Team community continues adjusting to working from home life. One thing I know for sure in today's world is that we have seen more time to play and then social distancing, yep, yep. So with that in mind, we're going to be adding some additional packs and coins that you can earn each week for a little while. So at least two weeks, we'll have a post to go live tomorrow that provides a full details but then I wanna say thanks and please stay safe. And then of course we have a nice little reply to be from YL here. If you know YL and the FIFA community, he's all about this. Can we get this stuff in FIFA too, man? Can we get some of this stuff in FIFA too? You dropped the icon swaps. You know, we've had a couple of objectives, right? But they're giving us packs and coin rewards that we can grind to. You know what? EA, where's the grindable stuff? We have icon swaps right now but that's some of that stuff that we're grinding for in these icon swaps. We can't even attain. It's 35 days up here for the rest of the season. If you want anything above 12 tokens, you gotta wait another 35 days and then some to get your new opportunities to even get more icon swap tokens. So I wish that we could just get something that's actually useful that's grindable. I don't need a lone best or a lone keen. These kits, okay, they're all right. You know what? That's good stuff. These stories are basically if you're doing these, you're doing them for the objective or if you're a Del P or a Maldini fan. But come on, EA Sports, drop us in something here. Drop us a cheeky player. Drop us like a objective that you complete tiers of, a 10 tier objective where you get 1,000 coins, 2,000, 3,000, 5,000, 10,000. And then at the very end, you get 100,000 coins. So you're giving out in total maybe like 150 or 200,000 coins from a 10 set objective that you actually have to grind for. But 200,000 coins, man, EA, it is March. I know your focus on FIFA 21. That would be something that the community would love as long as you don't make the objectives like score 10 Rabona goals with a center back in division rivals, division four or higher. Like if it's not a crazy hard thing to do that anybody can do with squad battles or maybe like a couple wins in division rivals, then people will do it and people would love that. So those are kind of my thoughts on FIFA at the moment and hopefully we get foot birthday today because that's a promo that I would be looking forward to. And I just don't want to be kind of left sitting with nothing to do on a weekend in foot. I guess if they're really counting on the content of FIFA 19 Weekend League being open and people going and playing that, that's kind of sad, I guess in my opinion if they're counting that as something to do this weekend. Get people on your game of FIFA 20. Who wants to play FIFA 19? Nobody. I mean, who wants to play FIFA 20 anyway? Not a ton of people at the moment. But again, foot birthday today, possibly, right? Keep an eye out for a loading screen. I keep like checking Twitter every little bit because I'm genuinely excited for this promo because historically it has been a fantastic promo on FIFA Ultimate Team.
