 Hey guys, it's Nate, A.K. The Foot Accountant. Welcome back to the channel. Summer Stars is finally one day away. It is tomorrow and Friday. Of course, we have some stuff probably happening before then. But I wanna talk again, just a little run-through of what Summer Stars is going to be. They upgraded these Path of Glory cards early. They were not supposed to upgrade them till Friday. Florenzi changed to a Roma card from PSG. We'll talk about that and maybe some predictions for cards that could get in to the Summer Stars team as well. Now, yesterday on Wednesday, I was expecting to see a new loading screen and EA Sports, again, left the same loading screen that has been there for the past, what, five days? Literally, since last Friday, we have had this. Just the card design, which was tonight, updated finally into EA's database, into the code. Of course, it's coming. We knew that. No hints yet though. So hopefully, today, we get some sort of hints on who might be in the Summer Stars promo. But again, just a quick reminder, because I don't think I've talked about this in a hot minute. The Summer Stars cards coming out on Friday are going to be basically the replacement for Man of the Match items that we have not seen during this tournament yet. For Copa America or the Euros, eligible players will receive large permanent upgrades based on how they compete for their team. So again, it's basically, they're giving big boosts to players that have performed well in these competitions. So, of course, there's a lot of people out there that are looking at some players like Ronaldo. Messi, Ronaldo being the leading scorer right now. Messi scoring the most goals in Copa America. Neymar has played well. De Bruyne, Lukaku. I think it's gonna be a mixture of international success and how that player has helped their team move on. Now you can see with this prediction here by Simon. You've got a Dumfries in here, Zanchenko. I think it's a card that has to get in after the knockout rounds. And that could be a really sick item to be dropping in FIFA. Really, really juiced up Zanchenko be dope. La Porte with the nationality change. Raheem Sterling has to get a card too. Now the only thing is, I really hope they go all out. Cause again, in this fine text here, this is on the PlayStation's website a couple of weeks ago, kind of leaking this promo. They said large permanent upgrades in a fine text there. So large permanent upgrades. I hope we see like a 97 or a 98 rated Sterling, right? That's the kind of big upgrade that I wanna see. Other players like Patrick Schick, Spizanola, right? I hope they also, I know this is just a prediction. It's not the legit thing, but I really hope that they put out cards, more cards than just 11 or 15. So many times this year, we've seen promo teams with just 11 or 15 cards. Kind of like the path the glories have, or even 14 cards. I really miss those promo teams where we had, in FIFA 20, where we had like 20, 24 players as a part of the team. So I hope that is something that they just kind of throw a ton of stuff in packs for these brand new, since they haven't released man of the match items yet, or any sort of cards kind of representing how well a singular player has played in the tournament. Cause of course we have the path the glories, but those are all team based achievements. So some of these summer stars items hopefully have insane ratings. And again, we'll see some of those tomorrow. I'll leave a link to that prediction down below in the comments. One thing I have to say about it is I don't think Ronaldo or Messi would get a 99, just because that's the thing EA has not been doing that this year. But yeah, that's kind of the gist of the summer stars promo in my opinion. Now also, this slow week of content is finally coming to an end. Now we'll talk about what happened on the market yesterday a little bit because some of the low tier fodder spiked up, but also earlier this evening, EA Sports decided to not follow their own rules and update these cards basically 48 hours early. The path to glory items, hazard, variety, Foden, Akunya, Chowwell, Florenzi, all of the cards that were due upgrades tonight got them early. They got them early, which is kind of crazy, right? I don't understand why EA did this. It's nice in the fact that they did it early because I think originally when we saw that it was gonna happen every Friday, we were like, bro, they should be updating these cards a lot faster. So it's nice that they did it a bit early, but of course it came very, very unexpected. So now we have an Ed and Hazard card that is 98 rated, 98 rated. If they win against Italy, he will go to a 99, and if they win their next game in the semis, he will go to a 99 rated, five star, five star, which is gonna be insane for this card. I mean, literally if EA Sports, excuse me, you just gotta give him a plus two pace, plus two passing, max them out in those two stack categories. I really hope that if Belgium do go on and win, I hope they give this card the juice because we were talking on stream and saying, hey, if this guy gets his upgrade, he might go to like 1.1 or 1.2, and he has shot up like 100,000 coins in the past hour from like 960, 950K up to about 1.04, 1.05. So there's a lot of hype with this Hazard card. Now I think also, I'm gonna continue talking about summer stars a little bit, I think that some of these PTG cards could actually drop a little bit. Come Friday, based off of just these cards being the only thing we have right now in this game to kind of, you know, we watch the Euros, we watch the Copa America and our only connection to those events are these cards right here or other special cards on FIFA, but once we get those brand new summer stars items, I think that some of these cards might take a different price. Now one specific part I might say could take a bigger dip than others would be some of these cards that have lost and their teams no longer are live, right? Like Germany is no longer in the competition, this Havards card is no longer live. He was a million coins for most of the day today on Wednesday, and then he's bounced up. Kind of after the content was slow today, he's bounced up, same thing with Griezmann, right? I have not sold my Griezmanns yet, he is now over a million coins. I might try to sell a few of these guys after rewards today to see, since they're so rare, if anybody is trying to go out and buy them post rewards and stuff like that, I do think that something that could happen, so I'm kind of watching out for that. Wow, Thorgan Hazard, 301,000 coins, that's a really, really, really good looking card, but I do think some of these cards have gone up recently because the lack of content, right? You saw that with Havards, it happened with Pogba and Acunya today as well, actually. These cards have actually gone up a decent amount just in the last 24 hours, just because I think people are bored and they want to use these cards and this is kind of like what there is to do on FIFA right now. Couple SBCs that were released yesterday too, but other than that, I think people are going and trying out some of these items, especially since they've had a huge drop in price, like this Havards, right? He was 1.8, between 1.6 and 1.8 million coins, down to a mill, now back up to like 1.3 to 1.2 somewhere fluctuating in there, so I think that is something that you can potentially look out for later on, maybe in the next two weeks or so, as the Summer Stars promo is ending and as more teams fall off, is that these cards, especially from team one, are still pretty rare, so like Verati, with the PSG links, this would be a card that I would say get involved in, depending on what happens between Italy and Belgium, if this card were to drop off, if they were to lose. I mean, this is a sick card that a lot of people are comparing to Conte as a center mid, center defensive mid in this game with the links to Neymar and Bape, all those PSG links with all the Tots cards that we have and stuff like that, so I would just kind of remind you guys that these cards are pretty rare, team one especially, team one's pretty rare and depending on what happens with Summer Stars, could be interesting later on as the Euros and Copa America do come to a close. But again, I'll look back at yesterday's content in a second, but I wanna revisit, I didn't talk about this enough. The Path to Glory items that were updated early, we did know about Florenzi, right? We knew Florenzi was gonna be changing with this upgrade because again, today and basically when EA updated these, it was July 1st, happy first day of July, but that he became a Roma player on July 1st and that was gonna be the same thing with Wynaldum, but since Wynaldum didn't upgrade his card stays the same at Liverpool. But again, the thing that I'm always gonna gripe about this stuff is that it's not consistent, right? And you guys hear me talk about consistency all the time when it comes to EA sports. I mean, literally on their website, it says that these cards are going to upgrade on Fridays at the earliest, maybe waiting 72 hours from then to get upgraded and of course EA this evening goes ahead and breaks their own rule and decides to upgrade these cards on a whim, on a Wednesday night. So that's the kind of stuff that is really confusing to me, the stuff that kind of irks me, I guess you could say a little bit, but again, this is a positive in the fact that, if you had one of these cards, which I haven't show well on tradable, I've got a variety on tradable, I'm happy because I got those upgrades and they came early. So that's the W part about this, I guess, but a lot of people I think are just confused myself included that it came so early. So now Friday night, unless they're gonna plan to do double upgrades because technically, if they're upgrading cards Friday night, they could include some of the games that happened on Friday earlier in the day. I doubt they'll do that. Some people are saying, hey, maybe there'll be a double upgrade. I really don't know if that's possible or if it's gonna happen, but I guess that it could. Now again, today with rewards, I'm really not expecting a ton of supply on the market on a lot of things. Maybe some fodder will drop a little bit. We had it 82 plus times eight yesterday, again with Brazil, France or Germany. And if you think about it, this pack might be decent to stack because hopefully there's at least one player like Neymar that could be from Brazil that is in summer stars. If you're doing this pack and saving it, think of France, right? Paul Pugba's had a good tournament. There's multiple players from France that could get in. You know, obviously they're not in the tournament anymore but they could still have somebody that EA wants. I'm almost a hundred percent sure EA would wanna put somebody in from France into this team. Maybe Benzema, right? Could get a card as well. Germany, you know, you could potentially, I don't know who you're throwing from Germany either but you could throw somebody in there from Germany and a summer stars item for a player that has done decently well this tournament, maybe Gretzka or something like that. And they would be packable from this pack. So I think there's, you know, there's a reason to do this. It's an 82 plus times eight. I know it's only locked for those nations and you're kinda just waiting to see what EA puts out on Friday, if you're saving this pack. But this caused a lot of the 82s and the 83s to go up on the market. Again, because there's no supply right now and everybody is hungry for these packs and it's the only content that we have in this game right now. So I do expect this stuff to drop off a little with rewards today, but I don't expect rewards to move the market that much. Maybe some cards will go up a little bit. If you really wanna try to do some last second Thursday flips, just look for rarity. Look for rarity and honestly look at English cards because England, of course, has all the hype right now in the world. I mean, of course, with the Sancho, the Sancho transfer going to GGMU. This card, I think, went up like 100 or 200k yesterday or at least it's gone up in the past couple of days. He was one five on the week and we sell off and then yesterday, yeah, he's kinda been up in the one sevens where he is right now. So just take a look out for some of these English cards. Like I bought a mount post game at 179. I sold it for 200. He's back to 187, right? You know, maybe you find some undercuts tonight on some of this stuff. Actually, that might not be a bad price. You snag one of these on bid at 180. It might be 200k plus, maybe like 210 after reward. Just watch some of your English cards again because I think a lot of people did Greelish. A lot of people have Chilwell because he's pretty cheap and a lot of people are even going out and trying to buy Foden. All the English links with that hype of it's coming home right now in the game. So that's one thing I would 100% watch out for today as well on the market and other than that, oh, we did have one other thing yesterday which this is actually big. How did it take me this long in the video to talk about this? But the SBC fodder in terms of team of the weak cards and team of the season cards, this is a big W. We talked about this on the video yesterday. I said there might be a chance it's tradable. It ended up not being tradable. They are both repeatable and untradable. I know that was a lot of words there. Repeatable and untradable, very, very cheap to do these 85 to 90 tots upgrade. Basically costs like 25,000 coins to do this or less when the fodder drops. This right here is just gonna enable you to get a tots card to do an SBC as they keep, they're probably gonna drop some Summer Stars SBC players this next week too. That's gonna be a huge W for crafting SBCs. You can go turn in some 81s, 82s, and 83s. Get yourself an 85 to 90 tots upgrade which on the market was 60K. Now you can do this for like 20,000 coins which is a dub and if you need an inform or I guess for whatever reason if you want an inform there's an 81 plus team of the weak upgrade which is also 82 rated but as of right now so many of the SBCs if they're requiring tots cards they're requiring team of the weak or tots and you might as well just do the tots one cause you'll get a way higher rating almost guaranteed cause they're both 82 rated squads. So in my opinion I wouldn't even touch the 81 plus unless you need an inform, only an inform. I would just do this 85 to 90 tots cause you're gonna get such more of a high rated card than you might in the 81 plus since it's locked to 85 and 90. So kind of I guess one thing you would think about there if you're grinding one of those SBCs that requires one of those cards. So again, one more day until summer stars man. I really hope that we get a loading screen today on Thursday with a little bit of hints, a little bit of hype I guess you could say as we head into the promo cause again it's been a quiet week. I mean there's been decent content but it's been, you know, we're just all waiting cause we were just having two insane sets of cards and packs, now we have nothing in packs. We're getting all this packed content, nothing to do, nothing to open it for. So that's just my opinion of what is going on at the moment but the wait is over tomorrow. Good luck on your rewards today. If you do have any of those, I'll probably post mine on Twitter. We'll see. Yeah boys, thanks for watching this video. If you did enjoy it, smash a thumbs up on it.
