 Hey guys, it's Nate, A.K. The Foot Account, and welcome back to the channel. Now I know yesterday was a big day with icon swaps being released and everybody is kind of in the middle of their grind right now. Whatever that grind is for you, getting tokens to get fodder packs, getting tokens to get big time, 92 plus prime or moments, prime icon player pick, moments kind of all, whatever you're grinding towards, towards swap. It's a really good time to do that because of how quiet the content is, but on the news side of things, awaiting what content is coming for the Fantasy Foot team number two, we have some leaks to talk about and with those leaks and the players that have been leaked to come in team two of this promo, there's a lot of conversation about players that we've seen before, whether it's from previous promos or something like that or SBCs or objectives that we've seen previously during this year of FIFA. A lot of people are saying that these players they're releasing are like recycled, right? There's a lot of players again, like I mentioned that we have seen before that have other promo cards and some people are unhappy with that because they feel like EA is just using the same players over and over, giving them upgrades to kind of go in line with the power curve and that has some people unhappy because they want new, fresh and exciting cards and there's a lot of players of course in FIFA there's a lot of potentials to get promo cards. So I wanna take a look at some of that because there's a lot of aspects to consider when you talk about is EA just taking the easy way out and giving us players that we have seen before? I mean, we have a couple of repeats from Fantasy Foot and the promo right now like Rashford, right? Gelson Martins, those guys have already had promo cards earlier on this year from other promos but I think there's some other things that we have to consider and I also think that EA is giving us some really brand new and fresh content with some awesome special cards. So I just wanna kind of present both sides of the coin for you today in this video and talk through that since that is in the news right now and of course talk to you about these players that we will see that are leaked as a part of Fantasy Foot team number two. Now like I said with icon swaps, the game right now everybody is just focused on these objectives. I was playing icon swaps yesterday. We'll talk you through that. Fodder is up even more as a lot of people were doing this exact same thing, going out, getting their swap tokens and then going and doing fodder packs and crafting SBCs like Mbappe, the icon player pick, other SBCs that are still available and here in the store there was a lot of fodder movement yesterday and the meta market is really just chilling. There's really not a ton of movements but after rewards yesterday there were some nice upticks and prices on the market in some of these cards. I made honestly, if you're looking at my coin total almost a million coins yesterday made a really big move on Lucas Mora. I bought him cause he was being panic sold and made almost a million coins on all the cards in here on the transfer list. It was a pretty big day after awards. It was a nice, it was a big money Monday is what we called it in the Twitter post yesterday. So we're gonna talk all of that and what might be changing things up on the market today on Tuesday inside of this game. So if you're enjoying the videos on the channel make sure to hit thumbs up and of course subscribe if you are new. Now let's get right to it. Again, we mentioned at the beginning of the video some fantasy foot team two leaks and what we're expecting to see as a part of the second week of this promo. We've talked about Usman Dembele, right? But this is where the discussion begins as you see Sheriff saying and a lot of people responding to this in the same manner he already had a promo card, rule breakers and they're not super happy about it, right? Well, the list continues. Rodrigo, this is a new one. He doesn't have any really special cards this year besides the ones to watch and with his injuries that he's had hasn't had a ton of opportunities to get upgrades but Rodrigo, that's a nice looking card. That could be an SBC since it's a little bit lower rated potentially. Here's where it gets pretty good though. Coutinho, that's a pretty nice card. Now, this is again where the conversation continues because people are like, man, Coutinho had a Winter Wildcard, it's SBC but I will say one good part about this Coutinho is he's transferred, right? He's now in the Prem, right? He was at Barcelona before. This card has different links still probably with the five star skills unless they do something hideous to his card but that's gonna be a fun item. It's gonna be in packs, most likely I would assume. So I like that one, right? I'm not gonna lie. Going back up, Awar. This is one that people are kind of critical of as well. Yes, we do have a Winter Wildcard's Awar that a lot of people have used. These stats for this card, they look pretty good. 74 defense seems a little bit low but that card still looks really, really insane for the power curve at this stage of the game. French meta of course, fits right in with a lot of people and what they wanna do. Here's a brand new one, Gabrielle Martinelli. We're just going through the leaks right now, really fast. Official stats, 87 rated, 97 pace, 88 dribble, 87 shot, 83 pass. That's a dope card, no specials for him this year. I'm a fan of that one. Brazil left mid in the Prem, nice links. Great card, kind of reminds you of the future stars Martinelli back in the day, right? Mr. Bomba here, another card from Rule Breakers as for Sheriff mentions, stats official, 97 pace, 90 dribble, 84 shot, 83 pass, 80 physical. So boom, there's another card that we've seen have a special before, still a very meta card. Stats are a little bit lackluster on this dude but not super crazy. I mean, he's still gonna be a good carding game. Fits the meta very well and then I think the last one that we had was Alexandro, that's his first promo card of the year. So a 90 pace, another Brazil left back in the game to kind of, you know, Renan Lodi, Alex Teleth has had some competition and then we did have one leak late tonight. Now this one take with a grain of salt, of course, it's not from Mr. Sheriff but a tall and that would be, that'd be a pretty big card. Now again, a tall would be another one of those like we just said that has had a promo card from earlier on this year. And again, that's where a lot of people, I think this graphic kind of summarizes it pretty well. You can't see it, I'll hide my face cam for a second. Boom, you see the rule breakers right there, right? Or if I do this, boom, rule breakers, you see that? That's kind of what everybody's talking about right now is that so many of these fantasy foot cards are cards that have been released before. Now, I wanna talk about this a little bit because I think it's worth pointing out since so many people are not happy with EA. Again, you see here, boring cards, recycled promo. That's what he's kind of saying as the leaker of all these items that are coming out. It's a really big complaint but I'll be honest, we see this just about every single year because think about it, we are in April and the way that EA does promos and stuff throughout the year, yes, they drop brand new cards at every promo and they try to make things interesting and they spice it up but also from a business perspective, EA has to sell packs and they have to make money. So they know the cards that people and FIFA will wanna use. They know that OWR fits into so many people's teams. They know Martinelli is gonna fit into a lot of people's teams, right? Brand new card for him, great, right? Bomba, they know that people are gonna wanna use a French left mid, a Brazil left back like Alexandro, even another version of Coutinho since he is transferred to the prem, that's gonna get some people hype, maybe spend some FIFA points, try to pack these cards, get coins, buy them off the market, right? Same thing for Usman D'Ambale. So that's where EA is coming from from this, right? Yes, they have released these cards in promos in previous releases throughout the year, this year rule breakers or signature signings or the Winter Wild Cards promos where we saw a decent amount of these cards. But yes, this also was from very earlier on in the year, right, Usman D'Ambale, these cards, rule breakers were out and what is this? This is like the end of October or early November. So it's been a while since some of these guys have had a second special card whether it's an inform or something like that or whatever. And again, you know, the big names and the meta cards, they sell packs but also one thing to consider is there are more and more promos run every single year. We've seen more promos run this year than ever in terms of EA releasing promos every single Friday with barely any weeks off. So there's bound to be more recycled or more cards that have their second or third special card just because, you know, like we have a cloth shipment right now in Foot Fantasy, they're just releasing more promos. So they're gonna end up redoing a couple of those players like we have seen in this promo right now. It's all about balance, I think, right? It's bound to happen because we have more promos and because EA knows that people want to, you know, have meta cards that are popular, they're gonna fit in a lot of their teams like the D'Ambale, like we were just talking about. But I think EA is balancing it out really well because again, if you take a look at team one of Foot Fantasy, we have guys like Nani, no special cards at all this year until this one. It's a position change, five star, five star item and it's a huge boost. I'm a big fan of that one, right? Nobody's talking about how they gave us a Nani or a Kamvinga or a Stones or a Vanda Beak or a Rashford. Yes, he didn't have a card before but this one has a weak foot upgrade which makes him a lot more usable, right? St. Maximon for goodness sake, the most expensive card and the most overpriced card still in this game in my opinion, first promo card of the year, right? So I think if you're gonna be a little bit critical of EA here and say, I don't understand why you're re-releasing some of these cards, I mean, think about it from this, they wanna sell packs and also there's been more promos this year than ever and they're still releasing cards that are brand new that we haven't had any specials for this entire year. Rusillion, Odri Azola, Kieta Balde. We did have a Lucas Mora but this one is a different position and that kind of differentiation for me is enough justification to release another card. So all I'll say is this in ending as well, I really don't have a problem with it. I understand where EA is coming from. I think they're doing a decent job at balancing some cards that are new and some cards that are refreshed with better versions because the power curve has of course gone up but also there's these cards that EA released for the very first time and EA might release this card and be like, oh, sick. People are gonna like this because it's something different and something cool. Doesn't have any special cards this year but then people hate on this Caliaguri SBC that's like 45,000 coins because, oh, it's not cool enough but this is his only special card. They gave him a skill move upgrade. His stats look cracked, he's medium high. I mean, yeah, he's not gonna fit into your PSG French meta rat side but for 40,000 coins, who cares, right? That is cool content from EA Sports. So that's just kind of my take. Again, I'm not really siding one way on the issue. I'm pleased with the cards that EA have been releasing. I'm not gonna take issue with the fact that there are some duplicates and some cards that have been released in this last promo and in the second week of this upcoming week of Fantasy Foot that are duplicate items. I'm just gonna enjoy the cards that we have and stay positive with it because I think there's a ton of great cards that are out right now and I think that some of these boosts, like nobody uses Rule Breakers Clostrum anymore but you'd use this card at this stage of the game because again, the power curve has extended. So those are all my thoughts related to that stuff and those are some of the leaks. We're probably gonna continue to see a few more leaks as we head throughout the week. I know that it is early to talk about leaks on a Tuesday for the Friday promo but since they're rolling out and since I think people are kind of decided that the content for Fantasy Foot is a little bit on the quieter side, you have that news coming out even earlier than you normally do. So let me know down in the comments what you guys think because I see both sides of the argument, right? I know that people want new and fresh players all the time. I think we're getting that but I also think you gotta think about it from EA's perspective and they wanna make money and they know what sells because meta, popular and hype sells in this game. So that's why they're gonna release another Dembele, another Gelson-Martin's, you know, another Lucas Mora or Clausman on this game because they know the people will want those items. So again, let me know what you think down in the comments but let's move on, right? Cause there's a lot of other things to talk about in this game. Of course, yesterday, again, as we mentioned the whole hype of the day was icon swaps. I even got some icon swaps done myself. I finished two online objectives. One thing that I guess I was not a huge fan of was the squad battle swaps are literally copy pasta from the first nine tokens. The only thing that changed in here was they swapped out EFL Championship for Germany last time. So now people are again, a little bit frustrated because you have to play 18 games of squad battles with combining these. If you can combine like Silver, Aeridivision, first owner then you still have to do EFL Championship and League of Portugal for your squad battles games. You can't just do all of these objectives with 12 games you need to do 18. So some people are not super happy about that. I wish they would have mixed it up a little bit, right? Give us an opportunity to use different leagues. Why not, right? Just mix it up. And then of course the online ones, they're pretty easy. No scoring with crosses. It was just finished shots, through balls. So those were pretty easy as well. I was decently happy with that. One tip that I will give you guys, we talked about this on the clips channel and we talked about it on stream as well. If you're playing your squad battles matches and if you don't care too much or if you've played your allotment of matches already or whatever for your squad battles rating, you don't care about getting points to get ranked up and better rewards, you can play against the featured team of the week because for some reason this week, EA released a full team of the week, 11 of goalkeepers. That was the chosen squad, the featured team of the week this week. So I think that this is a squad you can play against multiple times if you just play a game, back out and then come back in. You don't have to update opponents or anything except when you play against the same squad multiple times that won't count for your score, I'll be on the top right. But if you're playing squad battles with silver cards and you're matching up against the opponents that it gives you here with these insane squads, then if you don't care about your rating too much and you don't wanna try to update the opponents every time until you catch an easy squad, like right now I don't have any easy squads. 7-9 rated 52 chemistry, these are still gold cards except for a few of them. So I would recommend doing that if you don't care about your score. That's just a little bit of a hack I guess for getting your squad battles games done just a little bit easier. But of course with everybody playing squad battles there wasn't a lot going on with the market. Now one thing that did happen was some of your fantasy foot cards bounced back a little bit as there was a lot of people that bought them up from rewards. You take a look at some of these guys' graphs from yesterday and they had a solid rise. I think Nani right now is right around 520K so he is still up from where he was. And we take a look at some of these cards and their graphs from yesterday. And we expect this, right? We talked about this in the video last night as well. We expected a rise. Nani was 470, I picked up five of them here, sold them around right here, like 510 to 515. So it made like 1520K a card on those around 15K. He went up to a little bit further than that after content because some people that don't really care to grind swaps or whatever or of course a lot of people bought cards here at the same time I did. They were worried about selling them before the 6 p.m. content. Nothing insane comes for content. So the supply kind of dwindles as those people have finished listing but there's still a little bit of demand for people that wanna go out and try these brand new cards. So you saw that Nani go up to 530. Same thing with Lucas Mora, right? Huge, huge fluctuation with Mora. He was 1.1 mil last night, got Panix sold big time down to 800K and I actually picked up, I picked up 16 Lucas Mora's right here around the 800 to 815,000 coin mark and I sold all of them right around here between 900 and 950. I literally made almost a million coins. That was my biggest move that I've done in a long time doing that yesterday. So there was a lot of movement after rewards but after content yesterday, there really wasn't a lot. A couple of cards bounced back up. Some of your out of pack specials, you know some of your especially Bundesliga, La Liga and Premier League specials moved a bit. I think specifically of this Erling Holland, right? Some people, even though you need some first owner cards to do the online friendlies, you still see people going out and buying a few cards off the market like this Holland was 370, went to 415, right now he's kind of chilling at like 380. If this guy went back down to like 370, 365, I'd buy him again, right? Because he is one of the best strikers in the Bundesliga and that is one of the online friendly teams that you need to use to get icon swap objectives done. So you saw a bit of movement on some of these cards on the market yesterday. I would still recommend, if you're trying to make some coins, quick flips, it's the out of packs market, that's the place to go. So just keep a watch on that stuff. Now again, of course, myself included a lot of people with swaps yesterday going out and getting their rewards from swaps. A lot of people were claiming 82, 83, 81 times 25 packs which is exactly what I did. My swaps journey is done, right? I get the three fodder packs and I'm out of there. And those packs yesterday, I opened the 82 times 25, didn't really get a lot from it but it enabled me to finish two more squads of Mbappe which is of course what a lot of people are doing and you can tell that people are doing this because of two different things. We're gonna go back to footprint for this, sorry to keep switching screens, but you can see the Mbappe price, 2.45 million coins is what he is. Take a look at his price yesterday. At rewards, he was 2.2 mil. You see him rise as people are buying fodder after rewards and then with no content, no supply and still demand from people having fodder from those packs and then going out and buying the rest of the squads to finish off this SBC. This SBC has gone up like 300,000 coins in two days because a lot of people are buying fodder and you take a look at the prices as well and maybe we can even zoom in on like the index 86 for a second here and look at this too. 86s are 18,000 coins, 88s are 35k a pop. These cards are booming once again. Actually, you know what, let me take a look at Neuer. Neuer's 58,000 coins. What was he yesterday before rewards? He was 53k, went down to 51. Boom, he was 60k at one point yesterday. All this fodder is flying because people are doing SBCs. There's really not a lot of content, but there's SBCs that people wanna grind and like I mentioned, they're getting fodder packs from icon swaps, getting those done and that's encouraging them to go and do SBCs. So that's why you see this stuff. I don't really expect a lot more supply today. The only supply that we could maybe see would be some sort of like daily pack supply SBC. If they release another one of these challenges for like a dream team challenge like we had a couple days ago, I think we will get another fantasy foot challenge SBC, but so far all of these have been untradable except for this random two players pack that they released two days ago on Sunday. So they might release another one of these today that could drop fodder a little bit, but more so just hold it in check because as long as we don't have any other content today that is like a gamble pack, which technically Tuesdays have been gamble pack days before. Who knows what content is coming today? You know, 85 plus times three. I know we had that last week, three days in a row. If we had that again this week, you would probably see those 84s, 85s, 86s go up even further because there's really no good upgrade packs right now for people to try to go out and pack these fantasy foot cards because the fantasy or the upgrades that we have right now are they're not good. The 82 plus that they dropped yesterday is, it's awful. It's a pack, not a player pick. And it just does not have a good pack weight. It just really is confusing. Like EA, I was really hoping for something to grind this week. There would be cost efficient. There would be decent value from the rewards that you get back, but these upgrade packs like never hit. So it's very unfortunate that it's gonna be harder to grind and SBC like Mbappe this week if you were really hoping to like I was just because there's not upgrade packs that you can go do 80 plus player picks and get these done. So these are really just not good. I got, I think I did like three of these yesterday. I got an 84 and two 82s. And then we did a share play with another one with some guy had 10 of them. We got one walk out and probably like six 82s, a couple 83s and an 84. Like it was bad. It was really, really bad the weight on these. And the 82 to 88 is not that much better. And it's only two less cards to submit for the 82 to 88 compared to the 82 plus. So it's just a bummer that we don't have good upgrade packs this week, but it is what it is. And that's just gonna put more emphasis on fodder this week is people are doing swaps, getting those rewards and going out and doing other player SBCs. That's where the focus is gonna be. So again, today on Tuesday content, I really do think that we could have, there's gotta be something here to spice it up. We haven't had that Antonio SBC yet that was leaked to becoming pretty soon. So maybe we'll get a finally another player SBC today. It feels like it's been a nice long wait since we had Caliguri and Tonali Saturday for Caliguri. So maybe today, I know I've said it for the past couple of days, but maybe today it's gonna be the day where we actually see another player SBC on the game. But hopefully they give us something else in here content-wise in the menus to spice it up a little bit. Another, you know, a year interview player pick, no thanks, that expires in three days. But, you know, we also have the midder prime expires tomorrow. And we'll see, maybe 85 times three, maybe an 84 plus player pick. Hopefully there's something today that brings out a little bit more hype inside of this promo, although it seems like kind of a quieter week. And it seems kind of similar to foot birthday, right? Where a lot of the hype is just with the players that are impacts and on the market and there's not as much hype for the SBCs. Although, as we have mentioned, the SBCs have been pretty good value so far. We're two for two on good value fantasy foot player SBCs. So we'll see what EA continues to do with that today and where their motivations take them inside of the content today. But that's gonna kind of be the video for today. I know a lot of you guys are grinding swaps. I know a lot of you guys are wanting to know, hey, what should I do if I wanna buy any of these fantasy foot players? I mean, I'm holding off 100%. I'm not buying any of these cards. Anything on the market right now, we're at such a high point and an inflated point where the content in the game is not good enough to make people sell the cards they have in their teams that they're trying out and they're spending coins for. And people are excited about the upgrades for these cards which again, still aren't gonna happen for two to three to four weeks. I mean, two weeks max before the games even start. So I just think that a lot of cards are kind of inflated at this point. And as we head into the next three, four weeks, it's definitely, there's way more downside than upside for a lot of these cards even though stuff on the market is maintaining its price at the moment. So just be relatively careful with some of those cards and maybe even start to think about getting liquid before team of the season, before we get into any of these preparation for team of the season, market crash and stuff like that. Probably still a few weeks away but people will start preparing even as soon as now as we start to get closer to that timeframe. So that's kind of all for the video today. Again, let me know what your comments are down below about what you think about this fantasy foot promo. I think there's some really cool cards coming out with team two. As we've looked at in the past couple of days with the leaks that are coming out. So we'll probably have some more information on that today. Hopefully EA spiced it up today on Tuesday with some fantasy foot SBC content. That will be very much appreciated on this game. So if you enjoyed the video, make sure to hit it, leave a thumbs up on it. Again, 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 later. Peace.
