 Hey guys, it's Nate, aka The Foot Accountant. Welcome back to the channel. Guys, what is going on with Footies right now? What is EA doing with this promo? It's just not what it used to be. This is not a rant video today, alright? I am a little disappointed. I think a lot of you guys are disappointed too. But what in the world is EA doing? This is disrespectful to the legacy of what this Footies promo is about with the content that they dropped yesterday. So we gotta look at all of that. We haven't been on for a couple days. We're gonna take a look at a couple days' worth of content and look forward into today. We have another leak, a Footies player leak, which is really interesting. It's a pretty big name player, also a transfer. And we have to look at what content might come out today because there's a very important piece of content that we need to be watching out for today. And it actually relates to gameplay. So we're gonna talk about that in more in today's video. If you're excited for it, drop a thumbs up and don't forget to subscribe if you are new. Now, since it's been a couple of days since we had a live content video, I wanna take a quick look at over the last two days of content. It's called Tammy Abraham, 5-star, 4-star. Instead of the 5-5, they didn't give him that 5-star weak foot like his road to the final card does have. But still, for me, nice card. If you wanna try him out, he's gonna be Jamie Tammy, like he always is. Price is okay. Price is decent. I like the card, though. WDynamic. Kind of wish it was premium, but it is what it is. Can't complain too much. Decent card, 92 plus attacker icon upgrade. Right when I saw this on Sunday, I was like, oh my goodness, they made it cheap. But guess what they also did? They made the pack weight absolutely abysmal. So the fact this SBC is 160,000 coins with how fodder is rising every single which direction right now in this market is a dub. But to the fact that you're most commonly seeing foot birthday clivered and players of that nature out of this SBC is an L. So I plan to get this done, maybe. I mean, I was hoping to grant upgrade packs this week, but those are shockingly priced as well. But that's at least a cheap icon attacker SBC. Kind of fun to have an icon specific. You feel like you have a good chance of packing something good, but again, the weight's not that great, but we can do it two times. So that's cool. I have little complaints about that except for the weight, but it's a gamble SBC. So you know going into it that it is a gamble. Now also yesterday, let's get to yesterday's content. We had a use sebio foot birthday icon that we knew was coming, right? We knew this was coming out. It was a part of objectives. And we figured that the loan version was of course going to be a part of the SBC. That's what was listed in objectives as a part of the whole big SBC. And that is exactly what happened. So make sure you get the XP for the use sebio. 82 rated squad there. Not too bad. For me, this SBC is actually a decent price. I mean, if you think about it, this use sebio is 1.3 million coins as an SBC. His car just a couple of weeks ago was 1.9 million coins. Now you could say, Nate, there's so many other great players around this game right now. Is this SBC worth doing? Probably not because this card was probably overpriced this last week at 1.7 to 1.9 mil where he was before we knew he was getting an SBC. It's just kind of like the icon tax. The promo card icon tax making this card even a little bit more rare. So if you want to use sebio first owner in your club, craft it. Do the SBC over the long time that you have to do that towards the end of the game here. But to me, it's decent, right? Not going to complain too much about a decent icon SBC. Five star five star use sebio. Insanely meta. So that's that one right there. And then guys, we got to talk about these bad upgrade packs, man. First of all, first of all, the 81 plus player pick with just, what was it, last week or two weeks ago? It was an 81 plus player pick where you only had to turn in seven or five golds, whatever it was. And now we have an 80 rated squad. What is EA doing with this, man? They're literally saying, hey, we don't want you to craft it all this week. We're going to drop 85 times 10. We're going to drop all these other player picks, all these player SBCs that are still available. But yeah, we want to make it like, you know, very expensive. What's the, what's the cost? 9,000 coins per player pick. When last week, these were like 5k or 4,000 coins per. They want to make it really expensive so that we don't have an ability to craft and do packs in the game this week. Of course, they do that as well on the week where it seems like the footies cards are actually packable. I mean, look at the price of footies messy right now. I'm pretty sure he's like 9 million coins. He was under 9 mil. Yeah, he's 8.2 mil. I think he even maybe saw the 7 million range yesterday. Whereas, Ronaldo still extinct at 15 million coins because barely anybody packed him last week. Griezmann still a million coins. Royce is like 500k. I love the prices of these cards. I love the packability of them. And it's just so disappointing right now in this game that we have no good way to go out and give ourselves a shot at somehow getting fodder to go and do the bigger and better SBCs like that 85 times 10 to try to pack footies cards to try to craft SBCs with upgrades. A way to grind the menus easily like we should be able to in August now officially. I can say that now it's time to say it's almost September, right? It's September on this game, man. So, EA, I just don't like that we don't have the opportunity to craft. I think this 81 plus player pick needed to be, you know, five non-rare golds. That's it. Hopefully, we get something else today. It's an upgrade pack, but I doubt it, right? The 86 plus player pick as we'll talk about is expiring. And that's maybe an SBC that could come that could be expiring and then bring back another good SBC. But really, it comes down to the 81 plus player pick, guys. That's the biggest problem. And it's also making me not like this 85 times 10. This is the SBC that's been ruined, guys. The 85 times 10 that comes out during footies every year. This is way earlier than when it came out last year. We could do it twice every single day as well. The price on this one, we have the 84 times 10 SBC last week, right? That was a mere 80,000 coins. So for the extra rating on every single player in the squad, we now have to turn in an extra, what, 60K worth of value? So 140K versus 80K. I think it's a little bit steep. It's not even the price that makes me upset, though. It's the fact that we can only do this right now by like buying fodder or doing some of the objectives in the objective section to get packs, to get fodder. There's no good way to craft this right now, man. There's no good way to get packs, like upgrade packs to get the fodder to craft it. So that's my biggest disappointment. And I think that's really why it's downloaded so much. Yes, it's the price, but it's also the craftability of the menus and just the general disappointment with this game. Footies from the beginning has been a disappointment, right? Let's just keep it real. There's been some shining good moments during this promo, but overall, it's just been a little bit of a letdown, especially yesterday on Monday with such a big letdown with the content that was there. It doesn't give you the motivation to grind this game. I've been doing every single 86 plus player pick. I've got all the 8410s. Since what? It's like Friday or Saturday. I've got the 85 times 10s from yesterday. I'm going for messy, right? But that's because I have coins. For some of you guys that are lower on funds, unless you're going to grind the market right now, you're out of luck, man, because fodder is going up and these SBCs are still dropping, but there's no good way to get fodder untradable. Well, maybe there's going to be one way today. We'll talk about that. But let's first talk about fodder prices. We kind of round this thing up and talk about what's going on in this game right now. 81 rated cards with this player pick being out, requiring an 80 rated squad. 81 rated players were 2,000 coins yesterday. Take a look at Demir Bay. I think these guys show all about one point. Okay, he's 1.9. He just went back up, but 81's being 2K is outrageous and it's all because of that player pick SBC. 82's are 2.5K. 83's are 3, but really the big fodder rises, you're seeing 84's, 85's, 86's guys. What were these on the weekend? 7.5K. I think they were on Fridays, what we were looking at and trying to buy these cards. Maltarro on Saturday morning with 7.5K coins, went to 11, came back down. Every single day, look at this, Sunday, he went to 13K. Yesterday on Monday, he went from 11K all the way to 13,000 coins. You know, what is he? 10,000 right now? Maybe you look at some of these 86's again and they're gonna spike to 13K again today guys, right? We're getting SBC's every single day that are requiring this fodder. Whether you're trying to trade with it, so we're still going from 9.2 to 12. So maybe it's just a couple certain cards go up a little bit more. But maybe hop on some bids. If you're trying to make some coins right now, hop on bids in the middle to low tier fodder because it moves every single day at constant with new SBC's that we keep getting and the refreshes of SBC's every single day. Fakir yesterday hit 10,000 coins and right now he's 8,300. He had almost 10,000 coins on Sunday as well. That might be what we're doing right now in this game is literally just day trading, fluctuation trading, SBC fodder allowing us maybe to go and buy some more fodder to do upgrade packs or just to get some coins to do any of the SBC's right now in this game if you're trying to make some coins or just stock your club. Wake up early, maybe stay up a little bit late if you need to. Go through whenever you're on when the prices get kind of low like they are right now. I'm recording this usually when the video goes live or a slight bit late today but this is kind of like 5 a.m. UK time or midnight Eastern, right? Kind of in this always lowish point of the market if you're around anywhere during these times go out, pick a couple cards up. You see what happens, right? When content drops, these guys spike. Also be careful of the cards that have price ranges that are almost maxed like Serge Nabri, he can't go above 11,000 coins so just be careful of some of that but fodder right now is probably one of the best places to trade because that's where the market is moving the most. Now, speaking of fodder, speaking of content what's going to come today that might need some more content? Well, we already mentioned it. The 86 plus player pick is going away. Adios, see you later. I don't think I packed a single decent card out of this the entire last week. I've got two of them still stocked them on a sign just in case. We're going to try for Messi today of course and throughout the rest of this week but hopefully something else replaces this today even if EA did like an 82 plus player pick and made it a lot cheaper we just need something to grind, right? This menu grind is really just so dead without a good player pick or a good upgrade pack. Now, realistically, what do I expect them to drop today? Probably like an 85 plus player pick or like an 85 times three. I mean, they might go with some sort of player pick they might just re-release this thing. Honestly, who knows? But I hope we get some other sort of upgrade pick today and also today a place to maybe grind to get some fodder via objectives. Tuesdays have been footchamps bonus objective days and this goes away today. Probably going to be another one coming in to replace it. Again, watch out for the leagues, right? Premier League, La Liga. They haven't done MLS yet. I want them to because I will actually do MLS. So maybe they'll do that. We had Shaquiri last week. So hey, maybe there's a correlation there. Maybe not. But watch out for new champs bonus objectives which really is the most important thing about this is you get the packs, right? And you get the fodder from this if you're able to complete even half of it, right? Just playing a few games. You get 84 plus rare pick you get 83 double. You get 84 double. You win three rivals. You get 81 double. You get to win five and footchamps qualities. You get an 84 times three. It's just nice to have a little bit of extra fodder capabilities coming in here. And also EA, you need to give out champs qualification points for free once again. And guys, I think it's very likely that they will because we have the monthly footchamps rewards right now, the monthly bonus, I guess you should say, grinding for like Buchanan for Marielle and of course all the way at the end, the Konate card with the 85 times tens inside of this. So I think they're going to give out quality points once again and drop a new footchamps bonus objective today. So watch out for that. And then also, remember last week on Tuesday we had the Ferrari. I think it was Ferrari on Tuesday. Maybe it was on Wednesday. I don't exactly know. But this goes away tomorrow. So maybe Ferrari. I got to get a couple of games in here to get this Ferrari card done. What's next? The McLaren EA? You know, come on, keep it going. So watch out for another one of those kind of like free players. Maybe that is actually going to be tomorrow, though, instead of today since Ferrari is still out for a little bit longer. And then other than that, I mean, we do have a couple of player leaks right now. We do. And I want to cover that because maybe there's a player SBC coming today on Tuesdays. I think Tuesdays in the past have been player SBC days. Here's the leak. Kula Bali is coming as a footies SBC soon. But I'll say it once again. I mean, obviously Kula Bali transferred to the Saudi League. This could be like the first of a lot of players who have transferred to the Saudi League, who maybe get some cards at the end of FIFA 23. Kind of like maybe even a prelude to who's getting a once to watch in FC 24. I don't know. That could be a really nice card. Problem is probably your links, right? I mean, he would be a premium for sure. It would have to be. But he wouldn't provide a ton of links to the rest of the squad unless you're trying to make like a Saudi League hybrid or you can use like Al-Awayran or even Al-Awayran is a hero already. So he's got good links. But that would be an interesting SBC and he would definitely be an overpowered Meta-Centerback. Kula Bali is always OP. I used his team of the year, honorable mentions card for a long time and he was super duper good. So watch out for that one. And then of course, we still have this Namor League, right? This Namor is probably going to be in packs, right? A team three for footies seems very, very likely. Team two is going out of packs with Messi this Friday. I can't imagine this is going to be an SBC, guys. It's going to be in packs. So those are the two leaks that we have. Again, we've talked about Namor before, but this Kula Bali is the newest one. Could be an SBC player today. So watch out for that. That'd be a transfer SBC player as well. EA, where are some of our other transfer SBCs? We've had McAllister. Who's the other one that we had? Oh, Carvalho. We need some more. Keep them coming. I know that you're kind of mixing them in. Like with this Kula Bali or some of the other footies players, they've mixed in the transfer aspect of it, but keep those specific transfer SBCs incoming as well. We do like those. Now, I know the market's not the most popular place to be talking about things right now, but we've got to talk about a few things because once again, if you guys are trying to play with any of these footies cards, the prices are going up. Look at Marco Royce. 540, 550K. A lot of these cards started going up from Sunday, right? Once again, it's the same sort of fluctuation as last week. Sunday Monday, these guys got low. Royce dropped from 640 on Sunday all the way down to 530. And then on Monday morning, he had a really low point at 470, but he was chilling around 500 to 515, maybe 520. And now these guys are just starting to rise because once again, the content is kind of mid. The supply stops from weakening the rewards and the prices just start to go up. For Lon, 115,000 coins. Yayao was under 2.5 or around 2.5 mil. He's now about 2.7, so he's rising up. I think Griezmann was 1.05 or something like that. He's starting to go up a bit. Cassie's up like 40K. He was like 630, 640. So a lot of your footies cards from Team 2 are slightly rising into the weak as people want to use them. They want to try them. And of course, they're a lot cheaper than Team 1, so it seems very possible to do that. But the rest of the market, man, what did we talk about earlier in this week? We talked about other card prices starting to fall because the footies cards were actually attainable and also there are so many SBCs right now on this game that are draining coins from the market like crazy. Also, store packs, really expensive store packs. A guy opened the 500K pack with coins. You guys saw that. It got absolutely shafted. Guys, the rest of the market right now is just slowly starting to drop. On the middle tier, you're seeing it the most. Rudiger, 268,000 coins. I know the 93-plus shapeshifter player pick maybe has a little bit of effect on this. But what was he on Friday when this content dropped? 337,000 coins, right? Since footies team has come out with the SBCs and stuff like that. He's been down to like 250, 260K. He's 270 right now. I look through the rest of the shapeshifters teams. Martial is down. Let's see who else. Recharlison and Neuer, those are low prices for them. What about some of our team in the season cards? Mousial is still up a little bit. These guys are moving. Ooh, Ratchard's down 100,000 coins. A lot of cards are just starting to trickle down on price. And you're seeing on some of the most recent promo team cards. Some of the level-ups are, you know, Chaminie with the Rodrigo Lynx. He's still up a little bit. Gretzka being rare. He's still up a little bit. Same thing with Martinelli. But Veron is down. Some of your level-up team of one cards I would have to imagine are chilling down a little bit. But they're also just stupid rare. So those are kind of all over the place. Probably not the best example. But some of your team of the season and your shapeshifters just continue to slide. And I think it's going to happen even more towards the end of the week where people are going to start to speculate with Foody's batch one finally about to go out of packs on Friday. I know it's still a couple days away. But you're going to start to think about maybe shapeshifters, maybe a few. And team of the season is coming into packs for best of batch number two. So we're keeping an eye out on that. But really this game right now is just being affected so much. Even though the SBCs we think are not that great of value, if people are coming on a FIFA and playing the game, they're doing those SBCs and fodder is up a lot. So coins are being trained. It's impacting the market a lot. Now I'm not going to spend a lot of time talking about this, but EA did also release pitch notes yesterday for career mode. And of course there's no online career mode. So Instant L, right? That's something people have been wanting career mode for a long time. I really don't play career mode. But one thing I want to point your attention to is the pre-match preparations and a lot of the cut scenes that you see in the trailer kind of like in the locker room, walking out to the pitch. There's going to be more news on that coming soon. But that's actually going to be very integrated into Ultimate Team as well. Kind of like the half time before the game. I hope you're able to kind of skip through some of that because the cut scenes this year in FC24 are going to look a lot different as far as I'm concerned. And you've got a little bit of a taste of that in the career mode deep dive announcement that was dropped yesterday. So fingers crossed, something good comes today. Get us excited a little bit, EA, for this game today with the upgrade packs for the grind. I'm going to be trying to pack messy. We're going to be sending it every single day this week, every single 85 times 10, every single player pick, upgrade packs, probably even some more store packs because if I'm getting 99 messy, this is my chance to do it. So I'm going to go for it this week because he's not unpackable. We've seen him packed a few times. I've seen a lot of people pack Yaya as well. It's kind of crazy. The pack, at least for these Team 2 cards is there. And that's why we're going to go for it. So if you enjoyed the video today, drop a thumbs up on it. Comment down below if you have any questions. And of course, subscribe if you're new. I'll see you back on a Twitch stream today. That link is down in the description as well. It's been David with Accountants. See you guys there. Peace out.
