 Hey guys, it's Nate, aka The Foot Account, and welcome back to the channel. We've got all the Future Stars team, two cards, icons, SBCs, and that big academy midfielder evolution. But did it actually live up to the hype? That's what I want to talk about today, a little bit in today's video. Go over all the content that dropped yesterday, talk about how some of the market is flying, but also how some of it could change today on Saturday with some of the content that is coming out and specifically a part of the market that is really low that we need to get invested in, I think, for the coming week on this game. If you're excited for it, drop a thumbs up, subscribe if you're new. Let's go over all the Future Stars content from yesterday. Of course, we'll go to objectives first. There's a lot to go over, right? There was a lot that came out with Future Stars yesterday. We'll go with first the objective player, Vil Hall. I don't know how to say his name, guys. I'm going to be completely honest with you. Leverkusen, women's team, four star, four star, right mid player with some pace. I mean, not a bad card, not a great card. Pretty easy to get done already completed a few things on her objectives by just playing literally two games of footchains. So there is a thousand XP in here, though, and you get a couple of decent packs. So make sure you get that one done for the packs. Of course, we do have a Future Stars cup, which does give us some packs and it gives us a chance to use our Future Stars players. You have to use two of them in the cup, which this does allow everybody to use. If they do not have any Future Stars players, you can use the players that were given in the free packs for the Evo. So the in progress Future Stars Evo cards, if you put one of these into your team, it counts and it works. So everybody can do this cup, whether you have Future Stars cards or not. Yesterday, I was able to pack Xerxes and Diakite from Saved 85 doubles and 84 times fives, so that was very nice. And that'll help out for the cup this week as well. No lone players is pretty cool, in my opinion, as well, for a cup. And the rewards, it's going to be worth playing, I'll be honest. The cup is pretty nice. You have to play 10. You get a thousand XP, 500 from each section of the objective. And then winning 10 games gets you an 83 times 10. There's an 85 plus player pick in here. I think it's a cup that's worth playing, guys. You get 86 double at the end, really solid cup, in my opinion. And I think that was all of the new content that we got on objectives yesterday. It was the cup and it was the player objective. Now let's go to SBCs and talk about that, because the cup was decent, right? Objectives are okay. SBCs, we had Lauren Hemp. Definitely not as hype as last week's Claudia Pina, just because the price. Like this is a very hyped card. Don't get me wrong. A lot of people are doing this SBC straight away because of how hyped her Thunderstruck card and even her Gold card was earlier on in the year. But for me, it's the price that just sets it into a range where it's, I don't know, for me, not worth it doesn't fit in my team. But if you're looking for somebody on the wing to put balls into the box for heading for crossing purposes, like this is going to be one of the best crossing cards in the game, 97 crossing with whipped pass plus insane dribbling. Crazy stamina. She'll be able to run up and down the left side. Biggest problem here is the composure, I think 75,000 coins. The rest of the play styles on the card are solid. Again, it's a very hyped player, but it's not an SBC. I think I'm going to end up doing only 26% upvoted. But when you actually look at the card, the card itself has a pretty much what's about 50-50, it still is 50-50 upvoted down vote ratio. That's why I'm saying her card is very hyped. But this SBC, I think for the price that it is, is probably not worth it. But it is craftable still with the 85 double that is out. And hopefully the 80 plus player picks continuing around through this next week, that'd be very, very nice. If you wanted to craft Lauren Hemp, you could get her SBC done that way. So, I mean, another way to tell that this is a very hyped SBC is that her Thundershrut card is dropping a ton on the market. Like sometimes you've seen it before where some players get SBCs and then their cards in the market go up because the one on the market is better than the one that's in the game, or it's just for the coins. It's not. But this Hemp card is down a lot. I think she was like 180 or 90,000 coins and now she's like 130. Looks like she might be close to bouncing a little bit right now. But that's a big price difference from the SBC. That's one for me that I'm going to skip on, especially because of some of the icon SBCs we have upcoming. I want to talk about those in a minute as well. Two other SBCs we had yesterday, Diogo Jota 89 rated. But the price again, here is the problem. Yes, he's four star skills, five star weak foot. He's rapid plus, he's high, high work rates. It's a solid card. If you're a Liverpool fan, you might get it done just because it's the best Jota that we have in the game. But again, another one for me where it's just not that great, it's just OK. And then we do have the refresh of the 83 plus player pick, which includes this team of the week, Team League 22, with the same requirements as always for that one. So that was our SBC content, not as hype as last week, for sure. Didn't impact the market as much in terms of fodder. Didn't impact people's teams as much, especially with Hemp, unless that was one that you wanted to do right away. Now, we got to talk about the Evo, because this was one thing we talked about at length yesterday, right, was the midfielder, future star Academy evolution and it dropped yesterday, guys. And it's probably the least hype out of the three attackers, midfielders and defenders. I think this one gives decent play styles. OK, I think it gives decent play styles. But I think it's actually the problem with this Evo is the player selection. I mean, it's not terrible. I'm happy to have Oliver skip in here. Adley looks good. This actually Cyborg card from PSV might be one of the better ones out of this. Loman from the women's Bayern Munich team looks pretty good. Thiago Almata looks decent. But when you look at these cards upgraded and updated after you finished the Evo, they look good. They don't look absolutely insane, though, especially for like a stayback or a box to box center mid. A lot of these cards have like medium something work rates, medium, medium for Cyborg, at least the good cards, right? High, medium for Illich, more of a center attacking mid, you would think. He's left footed three star, five star. Yes, it looks solid. Like I think this Evo, I say it's the worst out of the attacking and the defender evos just because of the player selection and who's involved in it, honestly, the upgrade itself is solid. And you guys know, I love Tiki Taka Plus. I think that is a very underrated play style in this game. I think this Almata card looks solid or not. He looks solid. But I think if we were missing some of the other players from maybe clubs like Manchester United, like I mean, a lot of people wanted Kobe Manu in this, that was probably a little bit unrealistic or a Bojeknik from Liverpool, like one or two of those cards being implemented into this as a possible Evo would have been, I think, a little better than the card selection that we have. And especially for the weak foot and the skills for some of these cards too. Again, it's not bad. We're being really nitpicky, right? Because the attacker and the defender ones were both really, really good. And it got us really excited. This one felt like it just fell short of the expectations a little bit. Now, personally, I think I might do Tago Almata here, but I might actually put his card into the attacker Evo. Because if you take a look at that version of his card, I think it looks better with the five star skills. And that's one thing I will mention as well. I think every single one of these midfielders fits into the attacker Evo. So if you saved any of your attacker evolution options for this, or if you left that open, I think all these cards do fit it. So that's something to consider if you wanted to do some of that. So now you can create some combinations, which is pretty cool. I don't believe any of them fit into the defender's Evo, though, to say the least there. So yeah, you do get a weak foot upgrade. You do get intercept and Tiki Taka. And you do get a nice boost in stats, guys. But I think it's just a slight bit underwhelming compared to some of the other evos that we have had. And actually, another way to tell that it's not that crazy is it's not making the market crash. Like that was the thing that we saw with the other evos is that it really made the market get destroyed. And right now, like middle tier to high tier midfielders, they're not being panic sold that much at all. This Grimaldo Winter Wild Cards is like one card that I saw that is like just down a little bit. Like he was 90 K or like 93 to 97,000 coins. And yeah, he's down to 83,000 coins now. But that's not much of a drop comparatively to what we saw for the other attacking and defender evos earlier when they were released. So really it's an OK Evo. Like in all reality, that is a really cool Evo where you can take somebody, get them upgraded with two playstyle pluses, but it's just not living up to the hype that I think we all had for the evolution that we expected to come for this promo for the last one at least. Now, there is another Evo that is leaked and we'll get into that in a little bit. I do need to pull up that Evo here. Give me one second. But I do want to look at the promo cards that we had dropped today on this game because we did have basically everybody that was released. There was a couple of cards that we're missing and I do want to talk about that in today's video a bit as well. But the promo team, it actually, I think it lived up to our expectation, guys, with this promo team with the icons and the stat boosts. Once again, these cards got the stat boosts here are insane. But also these cards are because of that really expensive. And a lot of people are saying, Nate, the pack weights down for this promo. And I completely understand where that sentiment is because a lot of these cards are more expensive. But I would argue that the pack weight is still about the same. It's just EA kind of put more top to your cards in this team, too. Think about it when we look at team one of future stars, we had a couple of top to your cards, right? We had Doku, Bonaface, James, Garnaccio, Balde and Rodman that were expensive and rare. And like the rest of the promo team was under one hundred and fifty K and pretty packable and really cheap. I think we just had more of what you would call fodder cards in team one of future stars. And since the quality of the entire team is better, there's more of those rare types of cards in team two that the pack weight is maybe a slight bit worse, but it's actually still pretty comparable based on the percentages. Remember yesterday in the YouTube video, we looked at that store pack and we said that super giant store pack. It was an 80 percent chance of packing a future star mini release included. Right now we're at 70 percent chance. So yes, that is lower, but we're going to add three more future stars into that pool probably today, albeit probably lower rated ones, which might pull that percentage up. So maybe it's like 75 to 77 percent after the mini release is put in. So it is still a slight bit lower potentially than team one. But honestly, I'll take it because yesterday I was able to pack Xerxi and I was able to pack Diakite, which both look phenomenal for the price that they are on the market. Xerxi is six foot four with the power heading and power shot trade. That card is mad fun. Try them out for like one game. Can't wait to use them a bit more this weekend and further on. Really fun card to try for cheap. Diakite can play center back. Pacho looks really cracked for a center back card as well. So the fodder cards, I think, look better out of this team, even though there may be going to cost a little bit more, which maybe makes them slightly harder to pack. One card I absolutely love the price out of this team and just the upgrade is Alise. Five star skill, four star weak foot boost on Alise. He's got Trevella and he's got pinged pass. 150,000 coins for this card with the other play styles, Finesse, Dead Ball, Long Pass, Long Ball Pass, Technical Flare, Acrobatic, and the stats that he has. 99 agility, that is a really fun card to try. He's kind of like the Harvey Elliott or the Arte Guller from last week, where he is very packable and he's pretty cheap. Love that. And then, yeah, Rico Lewis, I think, is overpriced, but he will come back down. He's a bit more rare as some of the other cards are. Hoylund is one that we're disappointed with. We're disappointed with the work rates on this card. I wish they would have made them high medium. I mean, who wants to use a striker that has medium, high work rates? You know, like, yeah, I mean, yeah, the card does look good, but medium, high work rates does definitely put me off of using the card. And I think that's hurting his price as well. He was just under 400,000 coins. Looks like he's having a bit of a fluctuation up in price right now. Because again, these cards, they are pretty rare, to be completely honest. They are pretty rare, guys. So they're moving a lot in price. I think less people opened packs today as well as compared to last week. People were maybe saving packs during and wrote to the final, knowing that Future Stars was coming. Think some people opened those packs last week and there's less of that this week. The stats on the card look fine, like he genuinely looks decent. Powershot in first touch for a six foot three physical type striker. He should be pretty good in the box, but the medium, high work rates are a little bit of a problem. You're going to have to definitely probably set him on stay forward so that he actually stays forward. But yeah, 400K, I think he's going to end up dropping off a good bit. As I think a lot of this team will drop off in price. I mean, we saw it last week with Future Stars team number one. The player prices dropped off a lot from like Friday into Saturday into Sunday. Member Harvey Elliott went from like 120K to like 50 or 60K by the time we got to Sunday. And Arte Goulay went from over 100 to 60 at minimum price. I think Obise is probably going to end up being 100K. Rico Lewis needs to be in the 200K range. Nico Williams needs to drop a lot. Hoylan is going to end up being 250, I think he's going to dip down. And then like some of these cards, like I don't know why Mukoko is 900K. Like some of these cards are just really rare, which also makes me think that less people open packs. EA is not dropping the great lighting rounds. When I look at this card, I see a card that is actually worse than the Bonaface from Team One of Future Stars. I know Technical Plus is cool and it's very meta. And it's honestly, this card's a lot different than Bonaface anyway, just the way they play in game. But that's why I went out and picked up Bonaface yesterday. I bought Bonaface for 300,000 coins, 289, and he exploded. Some of the cards from Team One have absolutely exploded guys because of number one, the rarity. But number two, it's just they were so much cheaper compared to this team, too. Dooku's up a couple hundred thousand coins. Garnacho is rising. Balde is up, Lupiba, Rodman, Elliott, Lauren James. I have two of her cards. Like all of these are starting to go up in price. Even some of the icons as well. I bought a Rooney at 1.15, Carlos is up now, Gerard is up. So some of those prices are starting to rise because the Future Stars, the new ones are a bit expensive. Really quickly, let's look at the icons from Team Two. Decent icons, more fodder ones though. Got two, so 170K, Nedved 150. Nedved for 150 looks like a really fun card if you're on a low budget. Four star, five star, really solid card there for the budget. I don't know why Puyol is 400K. I think it's because of the name. This card to me should be like 250, just really cheap like the rest of the cards are. But maybe he's somehow cracked in game. And then, of course, they actually did it, guys. They gave us the plus 10 pace on David Beckham. Once again, fair play to EA. And once again, there was some confusion with this yesterday. If you're trying to find this card on the game, you have to search the 65 rated version. It's very annoying that this has not been fixed. But to find David Beckham, you have to search his base version from the old game, then search him up on the market and you'll see the card. He is extinct though, at 1.9 million coins. A lot of cards were extinct and then EA updated price ranges on the main cards in Future Stars just a little bit ago. That's why Cole Palmer's 6 mil. Zyra Emery was 5 million after extinct at 1.9. In reality, these cards are really rare and I think they do need to drop and they will drop, but at the moment, they're very rare to start off into the beginning of the weekend. So overall, the team is definitely better than team one. I would say that the icons as well are better than team one for the fact that most of them are on the market, I guess except Zyko and Beckham. But there's more middle tier ones. Like Rivaldo got the week for boost. This Kelly Smith looks pretty solid. But I'm actually a little more hopeful for the icon of species going forward, which I wanna talk about. Now, to talk about the market a little bit, we already mentioned a little bit of the prices, like on the team one of future stars going up. And that happened for sure, because these cards are really cheap compared to the new ones. Now, for the rest of the game, prices are doing well. There wasn't a lot of crashing on the market, as we mentioned. And some prices have even gone up further because there wasn't a lot of panic yesterday and there's not a lot of panic heading into today on Saturday, at least right now with what's out because the new promo is cool and it's nice, but a lot of the stuff, again, is expensive and nothing really went crazy yesterday to cause a lot of cards to crash. So honestly, right now, if I was trading, I would be on the out-of-packs market like this Joe Felix, really rare card. I've been watching him go down. He's 520. Yesterday, he was all the way up at 550. This is a card that if you can get for 500K, you can sell it for a higher price and you can flip that card. But I do still expect for the future stars impacts, I expect them to drop today, as we mentioned, but they should be really, really good to trade with. Really good, because a lot of people like them and you know last weekend, we made a ton of coins on these cards. Hopefully, we'll be able to do it again this weekend as well because the cards are hype and people want to try them again because it's future stars. So the market seems to be in a good place. It's gonna take some sort of leaks, some sort of news or information to create panic to upset the market a lot at this point, in my opinion. Now, let's look forward. Let's look forward into today on Saturday, what could be coming out, what could be changing on this game? First of all, last Saturday dropped the mini-release. I think that's gonna be happening today as well if EA follow suit. And if you're like, Nate, where's Yudogi? Where's Kiwi-R? We have a North London derby in the showdown, I guess you could say, for the mini-release today with Yudogi and Kiwi-R, both from Arsenal and Spurs, left out, but still leaked. That should be a pairing of cards that comes in the mini-release today, as well as Bool. Her card from the women's buy-in team, she was not released today. And then I think there's one other card from a Bundesliga center attacking mid that we looked at yesterday in the video that was not released yet. So hopefully those three or four cards dropped today on this game as a part of the mini-release and then EA would drop their bigger store packs too. But what I'm really looking forward to is whoever's gonna be our SBC today, guys, because we have two Future Star icon SBCs leaked, one of which is center at Canavaro and the other one is Baggio. So two Italians, two cards that have not had special icons yet this year. Baggio, I don't know, man. I haven't used Baggio for a long time in an ultimate team. He has five store skills and technical plus. If they upgrade his work rates, if they make him five-five, we could look at a really, really good icon SBC right here, guys. Maybe they made Pina cracked last week and Sheep. Maybe they'll make either Baggio or Canavaro this week cracked and Sheep. Hopefully two playstyle pluses for both of these cards. The icon SBCs for Rycard and whoever else we got last week that I'm blanking on at the moment. They weren't that great, right? But hopefully this week that can change. I do expect that we get one of those two today because last Saturday we had an icon player SBC. Canavaro could be cracked as well. Again, he's on the shorter side, right? Five foot nine. He's got really good defending stats though. He makes up for it. He does have aerial. So we'll have to see, man. He's got 88 heading and 91 jumping. That Canavaro is a legendary icon in this game, especially in the past couple of years. So especially if Puyo has some hype, I haven't used him. Maybe you guys in the comments let me know if the new Puyo is really cracked. But if he's really cracked, then Canavaro could end up being cracked too because they're both kind of similar. A bit shorter, a bit more shifty, better movement wise and just really good at defending. I'm really looking forward to those SBCs because those could change. Like that could be one of those SBCs if EA give them a really big boost and even if they make them expensive, that could be an SBC worth grinding for over the next couple of weeks. Kind of like a more expensive SBC to put higher rated fodder into if they give them a proper juiced with two play style pluses. That's what I'm crossing my fingers for. And because of that, and also probably an icon player pick SBC coming soon. I think the icon player pick might actually be on Sunday, but I wanna talk about it today as my menus are looking really scuffed in SBCs here. Guys, I think we have to look at investing in fodder because as expected, there wasn't anything crazy for fodder, but since there's not, it's going down. 86 is seven and a half K, 85s, 4,000 coins. 87s are still 12 K, but 88s are like 18,000 coins again, guys, very low. 89s are 29 K a piece, very low. 90s are back to 40, 45,000 coins. 91s are 60 K a piece, very, very low. I think it's time to think about getting involved in the fodder this weekend. If there's nothing that comes out today on Saturday, it could go lower, but this has to be a low point for some of this stuff, guys. I really think that it has to be. With SBCs upcoming, probably the icon player pick making the fodder move the most. So if you're going for a quick icon player pick flip this week, you probably wanna try to get on, I would say 87s, 88s, 89s would move the best for an icon player pick. They like to price those around, what, like the three to 400,000 coin range. So that's what I would say there. Try to get involved in the 87s to 88s to 89s, but if you wanna go long-term and you're hoping that one of the icon SBCs is really great, try to get involved with the 90s and 91s. Cause like long-term, they are low. These cards are low, but we need more SBCs to come out to make these prices go up. And again, Mbappe Player of the Month is like technically out there, it's possible, but I don't think it's actually gonna happen. I think Ben Yetter is gonna win. So we'll have to see based off of that. But for right now, I'm taking a look at cards that I have in my transfer list and I'm holding, because the market seems to be doing very good and things just seem to be getting more rare than less rare. And especially for this Rooney that I picked up, he's now out of packs. I hope he continues to go up. So I'm just gonna keep holding on to my cards guys, because these, especially rare ones, should keep going up and watch those new ones, Future Stars Team 2, for some good flips and trades this weekend, but the market seems to have chilled out a bit and it seems to be doing pretty well. Hopefully EA drop some good content today that icon SBCs, is what I'm really looking forward to. Canavaro, Bajio, give us a banger EA. So that's the video for today guys. If you did enjoy, drop a thumbs up on it. Comment down below if you have any questions and subscribe for new. It's been Nathan Ford Accountant. See you guys later. Peace, out.
