 Hey guys, it's Nate, AKA The Foot Accountant. Welcome back to the channel. Summer Stars is finally here. It's a promo Friday. We have cards back in packs again, and there's Euro and Copa America games today. Big day on FIFA and big game for IRL footy. Let's talk about what that loading screen is and what could be happening today with this Summer Stars promotion. So first things first, we have this loading screen that we just saw for a quick second as we were loading in. We've got three hints. We finally have an updated loading screen for me. Yay, they're telling us some cards that are going to be coming today on Friday. We know these two. We really think that we know that this is Kevin De Bruyne, 98 rated with the Belgium flag and 99 passing. That's an upgrade over his team this season, which is a W. And we really think that this is Dumfries, a plus five over his team of the season card that is 89 rated. Of course, the Dutch nationality and 99 physical. We really, really think that that is Dumfries. Now the one we're not sure about is this Brazilian striker card because Neymar scored two goals in the Copa America. We were thinking Neymar could get a card, but if it's only 95 pace, Neymar's team in the season has 96 or 97 pace, I believe. So unless they're going to use a lower version of Neymar and I guess make him cheaper on the market, if that is EA's, I guess their goal here, then this could be Neymar, but I think it's more likely that it's a Ray Charleston or a Gabriel Jesus. I don't know if either of those players have had good performances so far in the Copa America, but that's what this promo is based off of. Right, again, just a little bit of a refresher we talked about this yesterday. Summer Stars promo today is gonna be basically large permanent upgrades to players based on how they have played for their country in either the Euros or the Copa America. And big thing, again, here is permanent upgrades. I think today a lot of people are gonna think that these cards are going to be live like the Path of Glory cards are, and in fact, they are not. They're not gonna be live and upgrading. It's basically just gonna be a one-time upgrade, and that is going to be it. So again, couple things that we can learn from the loading screen. First off, Kevin De Bruyne, 98 rated, might be one of the highest rated cards that is in this promo. Of course, they still could do MSC, they still could do Ronaldo, but they're not, I guess, promoing them on the front screen. So this Kevin De Bruyne card, again, they're going over the team of the season, which is a huge W, in my opinion. I hope they boost up his pace, because this card, again, you guys remember the team of the season, De Bruyne, last year, it was incredible. And don't forget, he's getting plus five over his tots as well. This card's gonna look really, really ridiculous for our right back, because he's in 89 rated tots. He already has nine line physical. You give this guy a plus five, he's gonna look really scary. So, very deserving as well for his great performances in the Euros. And I think that's what we're gonna see today. A lot of cool cards that have had good performances from the Euros that are fan favorites from, you know, their favorite country that they're watching, or just somebody who has performed well, that they can now use one of their cards in FIFA, so that's gonna be the fun part about the content today. So, of course, we'll have a team that is in packs. Hopefully, it is more than 11 or 14 or 15 players. Hopefully it's like a squad of 20. You know, starting 11 with the bench and the reserves would be incredible. I hope they go all out today. I mean, the Kevin De Bruyne stats, the way that looks on the loading screen makes me, I guess, excited for the fact that they could, in the Dumfries card, they could really start to upgrade these cards and put out some really, really nice items today. So, we're really hoping for that. Of course, now again, let's talk about the market and these cards because, like we saw with Path of Glory Team 2, PTG cards were very supplied because of one thing and one thing alone, and that was the big time preview packs that were released on the market on that day that Path of Glory Team 2 was released. So, if you guys remember, these Path of Glory Team 2 cards were really expensive at the start, but they dropped off a ton with all the supply that they had. Joao Felix had a price range or I think still has a price range of like five mil or something like that. He went all the way down. His price range has been reset now to 750, but he went from five million coins right away down to 700K and then rebounded back up to a million later in the same Friday, right? So, I expect to see today with the new team coming out pretty high price ranges. I think there's gonna be a lot of supply though and I think we're gonna have a same sort of fluctuation and same sort of situation on the market with all that supply from preview packs and from saved up packs. A lot of you guys have saved up packs because there hasn't been any new cards in packs that make it worth opening packs for in the past week. So, a lot of people have saved their rewards. They've saved the 82 times eight, the 83 times 10, all of those types of packs. People have been saving those, the 87 times three that we had just yesterday on Thursday for content. So, a lot of people have saved up packs. It's not just me. I mean, these aren't even that good at packs. My week in league rewards and rivals rewards, but a lot of people have saved up packs because they're hoping for some really juiced up cards today and again, with a 98 de Broglie, a 94 as a plus five on thumb freeze and whatever that 95 striker Brazilian is, it looks pretty good today. So, I think there's reason to be excited about the squad that is going to be in packs today. Maybe some weak foot skill move upgrades. That would be great as well. But again, with the cards that are in packs today, I think it depends on the pack weight a little bit. You'll still be able to go in here and check your pack probabilities. But I would expect to see from a 50K pack, probably around five to 6% probability of packing one of these new cards today. But again, with all of the preview packs with the lightning rounds, it's gonna be supply, supply, supply. And I do think you're gonna see the same sort of fluctuation on the market for these brand new cards today. So if you wanna try a couple of them out, I would say buying them in that third to fourth hour is probably going to be the move. Again, because Joao Felix went down to 780K and rebounded to a million coins in like a two hour time span after the lightning round and after the supply was finished. So just kinda watch out for that. I guess that would be like what, 9 PM UK time? So like three to five hours after 6 PM UK, like the promo time. Definitely keep a watch on some of these cards because that's when all the supply is kinda gonna stop and you might see them rebound back as people go to play Week in League and try out those new cards that were added today. So just kinda keep that out there. Again, I think supply is the biggest word. We're gonna talk about it a little bit more today in this game. But again, remember, the cards are not live. People are gonna get confused because there's been so many live cards and these ones have been getting upgraded. And we'll talk about that more throughout the week because I almost guarantee you people are gonna think these new cards today are going to be live. But again, other content that we should see, hopefully an objective player for a Summer Stars objective. I don't know who it could be. Of course, usually the objective players are more of a middle tier player. Not like an insane type like Ronaldo or a Messi or a Neymar in objectives. But I do expect at least one objective player and an SBC player as well. Now speaking of SBCs, I've saved a lot of SBCs. I want to do Ramos. I want to do the United States Nation players. I have not done them yet because they are not expiring today. A lot of stuff's expiring today. If we take a look through here, Brazil Nation players expiring today, the 82 times eight, all of your little upgrade packs that have been out. The rare player pick, Adair. Prime icon moments guaranteed is going away. The 82 to 88, a lot of your festival football challenges are going away. But there is some stuff that is still sticking around, right? Like the Ramos. I think Fodder is gonna drop today with that supply because Fodder is still very expensive at the moment. 83 is six and a half K a piece. 82 is a three K, 4,000 coins a piece. 84 is our 11, 12,000 coins. It's crazy how expensive this stuff is right now. It's because we've had no supply and that's gonna change today. Now I don't think that 84s are gonna go all the way back down to like 4,000 coins because I do think there's still a couple SBCs out and it's gonna take a few days of supply, not demand, of supply with no demand to make these cards drop back down to like 4K where they have been their absolute lowest. I would expect to see some of your 84s maybe in like the seven to eight K range today on Friday potentially, which would be a very nice drop off. And it's gonna make SBCs like Ramos, like the United States Nation players and whoever they drop today, cheaper, right? It's gonna be, if you do that there. So that'll be a W from today. But I think that's just gonna be a byproduct of all of the supply from preview packs and from the saved up packs that come in today on Friday. So that's gonna be very interesting to watch, but if you have any of this stuff still in your club, tradable, I would say this is a great opportunity to get it out because it's still stupid, stupid high in my opinion. Now for the rest of the market, what's gonna happen to like these PTG cards? They're still live, they still have a lot of demand, but I also think there could be a little bit of selling, a little bit of panic because some of these cards are up so much, people are wanting to use them. This has been the only type of card related to the Euros that we've had in FIFA. And I think that might change today and I think you might see a little bit of sell off on some of these as a new card comes out and people maybe go sell their Griezmann that is no longer live and upgrading to go try out maybe Benzema gets a card today or something like that. So all I would say is be wary of a little bit of sell off on some of these cards because I do think there is potential for people to see the new cards because I think they're gonna be decently cheap, right? That's how these PTG cards were. After all that supply from two to three hours, they just got drop, drop, drop, then they rebounded back and they got to a pretty cheap price compared to how team one was. If you guys remember PTG team one versus team two, PTG team two was just so much more cheaper in the first day because of all that supply. I think that's gonna happen again today with the summer stars card. So I think they'll be pretty cheap and of course, if people know that they don't upgrade, they should be a little bit cheaper anyways on the market because that upgradeable factor isn't there. But you could see a little bit of selling today on some team of the season cards, maybe some PTG items because again, it's just that stage of the game where people are gonna wanna try out these brand new cards and they're gonna wanna try the newest and the greatest thing that is on this game. So again, that is what is coming today content-wise. I don't know if we have anything else like super special that we're expecting or anything unexpected. I feel like EA could throw some sort of a surprise in here. I'm not sure what they would do though. I don't know if they would release old cards back into packs just yet. That seems to be a thing that they do later on in July, even early August. So I don't imagine they would do that just yet. But also, this might be team one of two. I think it's very possible that we would have two different teams of the summer stars, just like we had two teams of Path to Glory. I think that might be team one today. So in that case, then it might just be a squad of 11 to 15 players. But hopefully we have some big names in there as well. Guys like Spinazola is one that a lot of people want. I think Zenchenko would be a really cool card. There could be a lot of Manchester City links today, right? With Zenchenko having a great game in the knockout round versus Sweden for his Ukraine side. And then of course, you've got KDB, who's almost confirmed to be in from the loading screen. So a couple of Manchester City players that could get in, which could be a W, maybe even Raheem Sterling as well. It'll be interesting to see the player selection today and to see where EA goes and how if they really ride the hype, they really, really ride the hype. Because I sincerely believe that EA Sports updated those Path to Glory cards early because of the England hype and there was a lot of hype around Chilwell and around Foden. I sincerely believe that. So I'm wondering if today if we get multiple English cards as a part of this team, you could see Jordan Pickford being in. Of course, he's been great. Sterling scored three goals, I believe, in the tournament. And so I think there's a possibility for multiple English cards today, which is a W, if you do believe that it is coming home. So yeah, I know there's not a ton to talk about except for just there's finally new cards and packs today. There's gonna be a lot of supply on the market, which is gonna put some coins on the market. I mean, if people are buying the preview packs with FIFA points, then you're gonna see some coins coming onto the market and you'll probably see, again, if you're trying to trade and make some coins today, icons, some really rare team of the season cards. And honestly, I would just focus on these brand new ones. The brand new cards that come out today, the Summer Stars cards, I would really focus on those because that's where the hype is going to be. Maybe some of these Path of Glories as well, of course, if there is any sell-off, any panic, especially on cards and teams that play today, right? We have Switzerland, Spain, Belgium, Italy, Brazil and Chile, Peru and Paraguay, right? So if Brazil can beat Chile, then you're gonna see an upgrade. We have more upgrades on the line today with Militao, with Venetius, and with Firmino. And of course, Spain as well, Marcos Llorente and Alvaro Morata, if they beat Switzerland, that will be their third win. And then Belgium and Italy, both would get plus ones if either of them were to win today in their games as well. So that is kind of what's going on today on Friday, inside of FIFA, again, Supply is the name of the game. I'm excited to see the packs today because we've had kind of a slow week of content. I'm excited to rip open some of these. Hopefully you guys can pack some Summer Stars. I hope the pack weight is up, right? EA knows that they have to make the pack weight decently high on these just because it's later on in the game. We're a past team of the season. It's freaking July. So hopefully these cards, you know, like I said, on a 50K pack, hopefully five to 6%, which means a pretty high pack weight, especially for the 100, 125K packs, that would be very nice. And hopefully some upgrade packs later on this week as well would be very, very desirable in this game in my opinion. So that's the video for today, boys. If you did enjoy it, smash the thumbs up on it. If you're excited for Summer Stars, let me know why down below. And of course, subscribe if you're new. It's been Nathan Buttecoun. I'll catch you guys later. Peace out.
