 Hey guys it's Nate. Wait a second pause. EA Sports. Where is this hero pack? We've been waiting five days now and we have not received it in the game. Did you just put this pack in the code to tease us? To confuse us? Drop the pack. Come on. Content in L anyway. The least you can do is drop the hero pack. Alright, back to the video. Hey guys it's Nate, aka The Foot Accountant. Welcome back to the channel. Bit of banter there at the beginning because we're still in question of where in the world that Hero World Cup pack is. But today we need to start talking about that loading screen that we had yesterday showing us and telling us that Black Friday and the Road to the World Cup promo along with the World Cup icons are coming on Friday, right? That is the countdown date. Starts on Friday at 6pm UK. So it may not be starting early like Black Friday usually does. We have a lot of questions, right? We're going to try to tackle that in today's video. We've already done a bit of a video talking about Black Friday. I'll link that right up here. But also there's some more details that we know based off of packs that have been added to the code. We just have a lot of questions and we're going to try to dive through some of that today and break down what's going on in this game because it's starting to get a bit hype looking towards Friday with honestly the unknown, right? And I think we will get a lot more leaks that will make a lot of stuff known to us here pretty soon. But there is a lot to digest and talk about right now regarding what's upcoming on Friday in this game. So if you're excited for a World Cup promo road to the World Cup, I guess, which seems like it should start before the World Cup, but who knows? If you're excited for the promo Friday and if you hope that this promo can inject some life in this game, hit the thumbs up and subscribe if you're new. Let's start talking about this loading screen and what is all going inside of it and what is there to see because you see Black Friday at the top, you see a road to the FIFA World Cup, you see the two car designs. Now this car design, you may have seen it before, we talked about it before. This is the road to the World Cup car design and it's even on EA's website. They've told us this coming, this promo has been coming soon for the past couple of days. This really isn't that big of a surprise to see it on the loading screen, but what is this promo, right? Everything before in FIFA that has been road to the blank, road to the whatever, has always been a live promo. Are we about to have two live card promos in a row? That's almost what it seems, but what would these live cards upgrade for and how would they upgrade? The only kind of thought process that I have right now is that maybe it's going to be some sort of an individual player-based upgrade system instead of a nation or country-based success-building upgrade system, right? Right now we have PTG cards. Team wins, they get upgrades. Team goes further than the tournament, they get more upgrades. These cards, maybe there's some sort of different upgrade path here. That's the biggest question that we have right now. Are they even going to be live cards, right? Again, we're kind of starting to assume they might be live cards because of the name and the fact that there looks to be some sort of, you know, a yellow arrow in the picture there in the card design. So all signs are pointing towards it. It's a live card, but we can't even confirm that at this time. I will say this though, we're going to have a lot of leaks coming, all right? Foot Sheriff is going to be busy. Twitter is going to be madness in the next couple of days. And I think that all the leaks that we're going to see for Black Friday, maybe still pre-Black Friday starting tomorrow, potentially. And all the unknown around these promos right now, it's going to start to cause some, I guess, hype. And there's going to be some build-up to all this coming. But the idea that I have right now for maybe what these World Cup cards could be would be something like the Fantasy Foot Promo from last year, where it was live cards that upgraded based off the player's success, more so than the team's success. You guys remember these, right? Like if attackers, I think it would score a goal or assist it a couple of times. And they started in a certain number of games and appeared in a certain number of games. They got upgrades. And then the defenders, it was appearing in games, starting games and clean sheets, I believe. So, you know, maybe it's something to do with more individual upgrade. I really do not know. But that is our loading screen right there. We know those cards are going to be out this Friday. And we know that World Cup icons are going to be out this Friday as well. Now, it's not even, honestly, it's not even worth digging into what icons will be out this Friday because I would almost guarantee you guys that we are going to see the, like, list leaked of what World Cup icons are going to be released. And I mean, guys, we already have these in the game, right? You guys have seen this. You know that we've got different versions of live cards that are in here. But that's what these dynamic images of icons that are searchable in the transfer market, that's the card design that are going to be on. So, if you go in here and search up some of your favorite icons, you see, like, a Mateus. Again, similar dynamics are similar to the moments dynamics that we've had in FIFA's past. But those cards should be in packs Friday as well. So, a combination of those icons and the road to the World Cup cards. But there's also some other questions about what is happening on Friday. Footshare tweeted out some packs that have been added to the code. Foothero guarantee, 86 plus star, 81 plus times 15, 83 plus times 15, and a Black Friday Centurion pack. Now, there is a lot to dive in and think about this stuff. But the first thing I see here is 86 plus star pack. That means fodder is going to get supplied a lot. That is a lightning round pack. And if you guys remember, on Black Friday is the beginning of lightning rounds. Usually, every single year in FIFA, I think that's going to be the same this week as well. So, as we're going to talk about the market and getting into that sort of side of things here pretty soon in the next couple of days, there's going to be a lot of supply incoming for whatever is in packs. 81, 15, 83, 15, that explains itself. But the Black Friday Centurion pack, this is where we have another question mark. Where we have questions. What are these cards? Because also, FootScoreBoard tweeted yesterday and saying that there was a new card design, item rare type, Foot Centurions. Also, it's interesting that Footies is in here. Maybe it's just left over from last year. I don't know. Foot Centurions. That's a new one. And it almost kind of seems like, remember last year how we had the signature signings promo on Black Friday where it just seemed like EA Sports just threw together some sort of random promo team and threw together some sort of idea to get a promo team out on Black Friday. Are we going to actually have three different cards and packs on Black Friday? Are we going to have Road to the World Cup, World Cup icons, and whatever these Foot Centurion cards are? Maybe. I don't know. That's why I'm saying we have a lot of unknown information right now. And that could be good. Could be bad. We'll just have to see how it ends up getting released on the game. But I'm really curious because, again, like I said, there's just so much unknown. But I think a lot of that unknown is going to be made known to us. I really feel like we're going to have a lot of leaks in the coming days and, you know, as I just kind of switch over to market mode here for a second, that's one thing on my mind that has me thinking that some of these Path of Glories, as of course they keep rising up at price apart from the teams that lose games, Argentina, and you see some of these guys go down in price after those games. A lot of the cards that are still up, super duper high in price, yes Lukaku, there's Nabri. I'm looking at you guys because a lot of people have invested in these as well. I think honestly with how much these guys have gone up, it is a really safe time to take the cash and to take the money. And honestly, as you look at like 90% of the cards are listed on the market. Look at these, right? No games played current club. This card hasn't even played a game. Five owners, no matches played. There are so many people that are invested in these cards. Selling earlier rather than later, of course these guys that have games today is 1,000% the move. It really is. I know these guys are rare and it's like, Nate, they just keep going up. Could they go further? When you're over a 50% rise and like Serge Nabri, Serge Nabri is almost up 100k at this point. He was like 75, I think it is absolute lowest. He might have been even under that. I have no idea. I know Lukaku was like 58k. I think Nabri was under 70,000 coins last week and now he's 165, right? So that sort of stuff with all the unknown that there is with the loading screen, what's going to be coming with this weekend promo. It's Black Friday. Honestly to me, if you're happy with the profit that you've seen on a card and if you're not holding one of these cards to try to see out the full upgrade process and potential on these cards, then I would think about selling. Let's be realistic, right? How many teams get into the knockout round? 16. That means only 16 of these, however many cards that we have, are going to get a plus one upgrade even for the first upgrade. And then after that, the number dwindles down a lot. So unless you kind of get lucky or start to plan out who you think is going to get all the way to the World Cup final, I think a lot of these guys' prices, you know, maybe you could go up some more, of course, since they're live items and have more upgrades on the line or getting closer to the upgrade. But a lot of them, I think, have gone up so much. They're so invested in that I would think about maybe taking the cash on a few of them just because with everything that we don't know, I think there's going to be a lot of hype. And could be some panic selling, maybe, based on what we learn and what we find out. So again, like I said, a lot of questions. One thing that is not in question, though, EA hit us with some information yesterday that is really disappointing, but we still have questions, actually. After reading this, they said Team of the Week is going to be paused, right? Team of the Week 9 players will remain in all the current Team of the Week packs until the next Team of the Week is released. I read that statement today and I was very disappointed because right now I have two Team of the Week packs saved up. And I know some people that have way more than this saved up waiting for Best of Team of the Week. Now, could Best of Team of the Week still be in these Team of the Week packs? I think the answer is yes because in previous years, they kept the normal Team of the Week in packs during Black Friday and Best of Team of the Week was still in. So I guess if you're saving these, we'll find out on Thursday, Friday, Saturday, whatever it is. We'll find out if there are some Team of the Week cards in these Team of the Week packs. Don't really know as of now. It seems like a 50-50 shot. But, you know, that information that EA released yesterday is a bit of a bummer because now I don't want to even invest. If you invested in, like, Nuno-Menge, if you invested in any of these guys that are in Team of the Week number 9, I'd be a little bit careful. I sold my Moyes Keen yesterday, even after the Quadrado came out. I just took the cash. These guys are just going to kind of, you know, if people open their Team of the Week packs that they saved up to try to get Best of, these guys are going to get hit by a lot of supply on Friday. Or whenever Best of Team of the Week go into packs. Which, again, Best of Team of the Week, I don't have the tweet open right here, but Footshare confirmed that Best of Team of the Week is coming. EA have not said it yet, but it's a part of the Black Friday promotion. So just be careful if you own any of these and if it's in your team. Of course, nothing from this team is over 40K or really much more than fodder. But I know a lot of people have invested in Nuno-Menge, Nuno-Menge and Keen. So just be careful with those cards because I think on Friday they could take a hit with people opening their Team of the Week packs to see if we get Best of inside of that. But also the biggest L with this is too, what in the world are going to be the rewards, player picks and packs. It says they will be replaced with new minimum overall, rare gold packs and players picks, but that's not enough information EA sports. That is not enough news. That is not enough detail to what we need to know. If it's just gold cards, guys, I mean, it's obvious. If it's just gold cards, that will be a massive, massive L. There has to be, we know we've seen some packs added to the code, right? I don't know if they're going to give us red picks of Team of the Weeks like from Team of the Week 1 all the way to Team of the Week 9 and do like Best of Team of the Week in rewards for red picks or for packs. I don't understand. I don't know. But EA, please make the rewards good, right? If you just step up the rewards a little bit, it's the world cup mode for goodness sake. Make the rewards a little bit better for once. Allow us to have some fun, even if it's for a shorter period of time. That would get so many people hype in a reason to play. We're giving it a reason to be on the game and a reason to grind. So I think that'd be huge. But again, we're crossing our fingers for something good there and hoping that EA do something massive with the rewards changes. So that's kind of like most of the information that we have based off of the loading screen, based off of the leaks that we have. Now again, like I said, guys, there's going to be a lot more leaking, a lot more information is to come, right? We got to figure out what these cards are. We're going to have to figure out what icons or impacts, what players are going to be a part of this promo, what the promo is even about. So stay tuned to Twitter and make sure you check in for all the other videos that are coming after this. I expect to have a lot more information tomorrow based off of what we just learned in general about what this upcoming promo is. And maybe what even happens tomorrow on Thanksgiving on Thursday for a potential pre-Black Friday promo like EA did last year. So besides that, let's look at the current state of the market and of the game. Like I said, best of team of the week was confirmed and you did see some sell-off yesterday on some of your high tier team of the week cards. Some of them have rebounded back though. This Marquinhos was all the way down at 330. He's back up to 364. Mbappe, Neymar, these guys I believe are dropping. Mbappe was 1.7 mids. He's now back up to 184. Again, you have some of the rarity of these cards kicking as well. And they bounce back a bit, right? I saw Neymar at 1.02. He's currently 1 million coins flat. That is the lowest Neymar that I have seen yet. So still a very rare informed card but I believe that there's some more panic selling on these cards headed this way because again, these guys invest in team of the week packs and lightning rounds happening over the weekend. There's going to be a lot of supply. That's still the worry and still a consistent thing through Black Friday is the supply. So I'll be very, very careful with having those in your team. I think there will be a buy time on those and we'll talk about that here pretty soon as we get into the weekend. But again, for the rest of the market, it's just it's slow moving, right? The path to glories are the biggest talk and they keep moving the most. The World Cup heroes, they move a little bit. Gold cards are not even moving that much, right? Some of them just kind of continue to slowly trickle down in price or just stay the same. You know, a lot of right back dropped yesterday looking at this gold Kyle Walker. We'll talk about that in a second but the right back dropped a lot because of Quadrado. Now what I'm expecting today, like I said is with this loading screen dropping and with maybe a lot of leaks coming out, there could be a little bit more panic selling, especially on the team of the weak cards, especially on just your most, you know, most meta places on the market. Like I still think even though Mbappe could be in best of team of the weak Mbappe's gold card, I think needs to go down even lower in some panic before I would feel comfortable buying this because the opportunity here is that yes, Mbappe could be in best of team of the weak but last year, remember they did best of team of the weak in two different segments where one card, one set of cards were in packs right away, but then they went out of packs and another set came in. If Mbappe were to be in that second set he would be in packs for a lot of the lightning rounds on Friday of best or Black Friday. So that would be a little worrisome for me in terms of this card, but again I think if you see Mbappe at a million coins that's the all time low for his card this year anyway, he's back up a little bit. If he goes back down to a million coins with some panic in the next couple days I would feel decently safe enough to buy there I think. I think his card is still one of the most elite cards in the game and so many people want to get it that that card should still go up a little bit after Black Friday. We'll just have to see on that one. But today on Wednesday, right, actually let's go back and talk Tuesday just a little bit because I know we didn't have a lot of content yesterday. I know there's been some fluctuations on Path to Glory's and like we said selling into the hype is the best place to go with those. But we had a Juan Cuadrado which actually Footshare of leaked and you might have seen me tweet yesterday about this Footshare of leaked Juan Cuadrado as a World Cup moments card and I was really confused. I was like, wait a second. That promo's not out for a couple of weeks yet and it's not, right? That's what the EA website says. But he was dropped as a regular moments card. It says, earn a player moments Cuadrado celebrating his performance against Uruguay at the World Cup in 2014. Now I'm actually going to do this card. I at first was not a huge fan of the SBC price here but after I looked into it and it looked at the card I was like, you know what it actually fits my team perfectly and it's not that terrible of a price. But really a lot of people can do an 83 and an 84 rated squad from the club. You get a set of division rivals rewards. You do an upgrade set like 10, 80 plus plaques. You're probably going to get yourself some 83s and 84s. You'll be able to do some nice squads of fodder with those. And then all you have to do is get an 85 and 86 rated squad which is pretty easy to do when there's a lot of fodder packs available right now and still having the upgrades out. So this actually isn't that terrible of a value. Now speaking of SBCs, let's talk fodder because we need talk about fodder with the other content that was released yesterday. We have the quadrado and an 83 plus player pick. That was literally it for our content yesterday. This SBC is a 15% upvote but you know people are doing it because also quadrado is a 37% upvote. Now I'll be honest, if you're doing quadrado you probably have a Syria team or you know you have some Syria players to get you some links in there. It's not an insane value SBC. Kind of like Alex tell us really good card middle of the road ish right for most people but if it fits your team like it does mine. It's it's a good one to do. 83s are up. 84s are up. That tells me that people are doing that 83 plus player pick even though it's a sham of a scam but fodder is a very interesting place to watch on the market because I know a lot of you guys are still invested waiting for this hero pack and at this point I'm not trying to guess when the hero pack is going to be anymore because it's probably going to be wrong. Whatever I guess and you know it's we have we have we have no idea now. I have no idea when it's going to drop. Could it still drop this week? Absolutely. There is still a very good chance that the hero pack could drop at some point in the next two or three days. But right now that's just in question because we thought we were going to have it two days ago and here we are on Wednesday with no hero pack. I will say like we talked about with those packs that were added to the code the 86 plus star pack stuff like that. I would be careful with this fodder because there is number one going to be panic selling on this stuff. When we get closer to Friday and all that pack supply hitting with people knowing what's going to happen. And I think that's going to be a great opportunity to buy fodder with that supply and the panic selling that you know combining later on in the week. But as it sits today fodder is probably just going to keep trickling down in price unless we get a hero SPC. And if we get that hero SPC I would take the advantage of that extra demand and sell that fodder and hopefully what would be a bit of a bounce. I would sell that fodder then and get it out because I think that fodder is definitely up right now. It's obvious to look at some of these car price and say wow fodder is up. I just honestly think that there's going to be panic selling on it and prices will drop heading into the weekend just because we know what Black Friday brings and that is a lot of supply. Right. We usually have this lawyer at 40 K last week he was 36 and right now what is he 46 47 K after being 48,000 coins. So fodder is down a little bit. But I think it has a lot more drop potentially coming with the panic of the weekend upcoming. So just be very careful with that and that's something to be aware of if you have SPC fodder. Now let's talk about today on a Wednesday for a little bit. What else could we see today on Wednesday. Well one thing I'm really hoping for today besides the hero packs still holding on hope for that is ones to watch upgrades. Right. You may be invested in a guy like Chamele. You may be invested in guy like Taliso. Now these cards after they upgrade in my opinion this World Cup upgrade. Yes. It is hype. Yes. And these cards are going to have some demand for them unless it's like a Darwin Nunez type situation where the upgrade is going to be a massive upgrade like for this child many and the card is going to become a super duper meta. I would be very careful with these cards. Right. Child many is a hundred and eighty thousand coins. He might drop a little bit today after the upgrade if the upgrade even happens. It's not even guaranteed to happen today. But since these players have already kind of achieved their World Cup win right France won yesterday so you would expect to see this child many since once to watch his usually upgrade on Wednesdays go up to an eighty six. It's not confirmed a hundred percent but I would think that it's likely watch for some panic selling on this maybe for the first hour or two after it gets the upgrade and then a potential rise afterwards as people want to go and try that card out on the market. So the players that are getting updated today Sterling that's a big one. A lot of you guys maybe have Sterling as an SBC in your club. That's a really good and tradable card to have now with this upgrade that he should be getting. Also how many as we mentioned to Lisa being French and delict and Bergwain. I think there's only six as of right now. That's actually five. That's six. There's only five that are going to get upgraded. Now of course we've got games today on the docket right. We've got Croatia, Morocco, Germany versus Japan. So a slaughterback right potential upgrade situation there. Spain, Costa Rica, Belgium, Canada. So I don't know if this like for slaughterback right. Let's say Germany win. He should get an upgrade today at Wednesday content. But I don't know if that time frame is too short. I don't even know if any of these cards like even France winning yesterday. Is that too short of a time frame for E8 to upgrade this Germany card today on Wednesday. I don't know. That's a big question mark for me today. But of course for other content today on Wednesday we know we're not getting a team of the week. Right. EA told us that team of the weeks are on pause from now until basically the World Cup is over. So for official brand new team of the cards and packs today that is not going to happen. But what is going to happen regardless of that? I don't know. Could they start best of team of the week today? I mean, hey, there's who says that there's not potential for that. I mean, you can't write that completely off. So just be careful today. Watch the leaks. Watch Twitter. Watch all this stuff because I'd be I'd be careful with team of the cards now. I'm just buying a new no men's with the shadow here to see if it sells for you know, 28 K or something like that and make a quick couple thousand coins. You know, it does look like it sells for 28 K. That's that's a ball or snipe. Okay. Anyways, you can chem style trade still a little bit on this game at the moment to today on Wednesday other than something with team of the week changing. We'll have to see. I would maybe expect to see a little bit of action in the Silver Stars category with objectives there. But again, that's not super duper hype and maybe a pack supply SBC because we did not get one yesterday. And I believe the France challenge goes away. No, one of these goes away today. Maybe it's the other one or actually the other one is already gone. So maybe we'll get another one of these challenge SBCs like we have the France challenge and then upgrade packs go away today. So like I'm going to hopefully build 25 to 30 upgrade packs for today to help my craft of quadrado and potentially pack a World Cup pathway or a hero card before they go away. So if you're wanting to stack upgrade packs for this Friday's promo because the content's not that hype right now and you want something to do that's absolutely an option there for you as well today. So there's a lot going on this game. A lot of questions. Stay tuned to Twitter. I don't really post a lot of leaks and retweet them on my own account, but we will talk about them here. We'll talk about them on the live stream. So we will keep you guys in loop when we get the information on the leaks and all that stuff. So a lot of stuff to come a lot of hype to build later on this week. And honestly this game needs it at the moment. The World Cup is hype, but the game is unfortunately not that much. So hopefully that changes as we get towards the end of the week. But if you enjoyed today's video, smash the thumbs up on it. Comment down below if you have any questions and subscribe if you're new. It's been Nate the Footer Account and I'll catch you guys later. Peace out.
