 Hey guys, it's Nate A.K., the Foot Accountant. Welcome back to the channel. We are back. It's great to be back. It was a good couple of days off, refreshed, rested, and ready to go, honestly. For EA FC 24 and all that is going to come with that. But first, I got to get caught up on this pre-season promo. Got to get up to speed with things we can do right now in FIFA 23 to get some packs for 24. And of course, there's still, what I believe, a pretty good menu grind. Although it's just not quite the same as that last week of Footies was. But I see some 99 ratings that I need to add to my squad VSBCs and Footies cards back in packs. Well, I'd love that. But we're back with a bang today. Let's go. If you guys are excited for it, drop a thumbs up and of course subscribe if you are new. Let's first also say that there's going to be two uploads. We're back with a bang on the YouTube channel as well with two uploads going on today. So make sure you watch out for that. But first of all, we got to talk about these cards that are in packs. Yes, we have the 99 Messy, the 99 Ronaldo premium Footies. And as we've got like the shape shifter icon Pele is in packs right now. But EA, why are you not giving us lists of cards that are in packs? Messy still has only one page of cards in the market. That is wild. But EA on the website for pre-season I'm seeing doesn't even have a list out. I don't know what's going on with them. And this best of is only in packs for a week. I've got some thoughts about that and that's kind of interesting. I got a grind this week though is the way that I'm feeling if I want to pack a 99 Ronaldo or Messy and the players that are in packs right now from what I know. This is the set of players that is in packs at this time. And I'll leave the link this down below in the description foot.gg has better info than EA does on their own website. So thank you foot.gg for having us covered here. I'll put this link down below if you want to figure out who is on packs right now. I think there's like 150 or 160 cards and that like we said last week before pre-season started. That was going to hurt right the 85 times 10 grind the pack grind the menus the unlimited recycle. It's still there it just isn't as good because there's quite frankly just not enough cards in packs. But like I said I'm not sure what to think about these cards going out of packs on Friday and EA's website specifically saying that best of 40s re-releases will feature different players each week. Yeah from previous weeks. Yeah and obviously this one is going away on Friday and they said also on the website that there's going to be new join the club objectives and new carry over rewards each Friday. I mean we even know what's going to be coming out this Friday right. That you know that's not a mystery it's not that much of a OK what is it going to be. It's it's right here right we're going to get an 82 times 10 pack for a join the club to and then there's going to be. I'm guessing more of these gold Syria Bundesliga the top five leagues packs are going to be in that join the club objective when it comes out later on and then the other packs in here that are saying like 82 times 10 that's definitely for FIFA 23 is not an EFC 24. But anyways we'll talk a little bit more about those later the pack Ryan is still kind of there. I really haven't done too much and I've opened a couple of 85 times 10s in the companion and OK that was a pretty good 85 plus player pick. I think that's the 85 plus pick from the new era SBC and that's what I want to talk about next right. Of course we're still going to grind all the packs still going to grind all the SBCs the 85 times 10 being unlimited repeatable is meant to go on EA. We've got a crafting upgrade for the Jordy Alba which is fantastic. It's nice end game content. It's kind of just like like we said it's a continuation of footies but of course with the lesser number of cards that are in packs. It's still like we said a little bit lesser hyped right. I do love the new era. I love that you can get FIFA 24. I said again man I'm not going to correct myself multiple times. I'm saying FIFA 24 I got to get used to saying FC 24. But I like the fact that you can do a daily SBC for bronzes and get an 85 plus player pick and then also just get at least a little bit of something to start FC 24. That's nice. I think all of the objectives as we'll look forward to in a second. I think all the FC 24 stuff you can grind right now isn't that bad for how much you have to grind and actually the packs that you get not bad. So I'm doing this new era objective. I got to get the last one done later on this week. I'm going to take Toko Akami just for the duplicate. But yeah I think that grind is decent. Other SBCs the players. Wow EA is going all out with the 99s but I love it. It's the end game 99 rated Judebellum transfer card absolutely nuts. SBC there eight squads to do and again very craftable with the grind and the menus right now. Of course the transfer Real Madrid links W card there and then I love the dynamic duo. Love the dynamic duo of Pulisic and Musa definitely have to get that done. I love how it says you get a bonus group reward pack as well. A tradable 7.5 K pack in early September doesn't make me want to do the SBC. It's the players inside of it that make me want to do the SBC right there. So love the player SBCs there. Kim and Jay decent Carvalho decent right and then of course 99 Terry Henry W from EA Sports on that SBC as well. Fantastic GGs and then the upgrade SBCs are kind of just the same right. 93 plus pick 90 plus pick the 94 plus pick is oh there's two 94 plus picks. Technically a 94 plus it's footies only and then a 94 plus I believe that is like the shapeshifter one to or is that the only one. I thought there was a second 94 plus like the old one but I think it's actually just that 94 just kidding. There is one 94 plus there's an 84 times 10 which is great 87 plus player pick. I don't know what in the world is going on with this SBC because now it says it expires in six days. But I think it wasn't even supposed to expire yesterday but EA refreshed it. I don't know. I thought those usually refresh on Wednesdays. It might have been Tuesdays. But we got to talk about this 86 times 10 man because this seems crazy like wow 86 times 10 92 rated squad is a lot to put in it. And from what I'm seeing from a lot of people this foot been up vote down vote percentage 11% up vote that is not good. While the 85 times 10 unlimited isn't 97% up vote. I think that speaks for itself stick to the 85 times 10 guys don't touch that 86 times 10. I wouldn't even touch the 82 times 100 really. I would just stick with that 85 times 10 grind and keep it cranking that out. I think that is the place to be right now on this game. That's why I've got it favorited. It's probably going to be one of the only favorite SBCs in this column for me because that's the one to grind to craft everything and get all those player SBCs done. So at least the grind is still there. I'm actually going to quick sell that toko economy so I can go and open and 85 times 10 because I really haven't opened like any packs. I haven't been on the game in the past literally week. So maybe we had that kind of like pack lock you know when you haven't been on your fever for a while and you start ripping some packs. Maybe we'll have some good 85 times 10. So open a couple here real quick just to see. I wish the footage cards walked out man. I really wish they did. We're going to get. Oh that's not good. There better be something massive in behind here. If that's my face card World Cup. What World Cup heroes are in packs. See look how many goals that are there bro. That's that's the problem right. It's still okay like you would still probably turn that in for an idiot rated squad and get some stuff done with it. I'm just going to quick sell Garcia for now because it can't be axed. But I'm going to open one more for the vibes because I have one more. I think come on. Give me a footies man. But that's the problem right. That's the issue with not as many cards and packs is that you just can't pack as many great things that Harry Kane. Yes. My striker no longer in my club but still my striker anything else. That's that's more like it. All right. Couple 90 pluses and 95 Jetson 94 and some high rated dupes that's going boom straight back in to an 85 times 10 or maybe I'll start crafting Holland which I haven't finished yet. But the SBC grind it's still there right. What is there to do right now though other than chase 99s. That's all really is just chase 99s craft the SBCs which is not bad right. It's always fun like it has been in the past couple of weeks when you can just sit on the menus and grind packs. So we're going to do that. We're going to continue to do that for the end game here and enjoy that because it's at least not too bad. The season progress which I guess is new to me not new to you is just mid. I wish there was some FC 24 stuff that was involved with that. That would have been really cool. And of course a daily login is here as well. I got to keep doing that. I'm definitely going to be behind. There's a lot of XP in there but this season is so short anyway. It doesn't really matter too much. Now again I want to talk about some of the FC 24 stuff that you can do. Guys I think both of them are worth it. The new era all you have to do it like I just did is turn in those those bronzes. That's an easy dub. And at the end of this you get a two regular players pack a base hero on loan and a coin boost. All rewards are intradable. It says except for the coins obviously I think the coin boost for five games. Is it a five game coin boost? What does it say in here? The new era. A thousand coins times five games. You're turning in 33 bronzes in FIFA 23 that you have a club full of anyway for 5,000 coins at the start of FC 24. That's a dub. And a two regular players pack like that's a dub. No gameplay required. You know obviously you're going to be playing games at the start of FC 24. So that's a W in my book. And then also guys these join the club objectives. Don't sleep on this man. I know that some of you might be like Nate I'm not playing this gameplay in September. Like just going to some squad battles scoring four separate matches. Yeah it does take of course five different leagues. You have four separate matches going to take you 20 games technically. I don't think you can combine any of these because you have to have seven players from each league to get involved with it. But that's a dub man seriously. And I know also the biggest problem with these rewards is their release date right. It's October 12th. So three weeks after the game is going to be released if you're getting early access on September 22nd which is wow super close. You won't get these rewards that you're working for right now in FC 24 until October 12th which is a long time. But at least this year it's a standalone date and they're not telling us all around this time you'll get it. They tell us exactly when we're going to get it which is nice. But still on October 12th if you if you hit a gold VVD right this is a three rare gold players pack from a specific league. If you had a rare gold VVD if you had a rare gold even Saliba at that time like that's still a great card to have untradable at the start of the game in your squad. You're just setting yourself up here for a potential W pack poll that could be a high rated gold card from any of these top five leagues that could go straight into your team or be a super sub. Or maybe at least just be a little bit of extra fodder pumping into your club in the form of a bunch of these packs because we're going to be able to get a decent amount of them. Three rare gold cereal players pack. That's a solid 15 players right there between all the top five leagues right because you get five packs. And then if we have that same join the club objective again that gives you more of these. I don't know if it's going to maybe this is the only one that's going to give you those three real gold players packs week two 82 times 10 week three 83 five and 84 three. I don't know if we're going to be able to do more of those to get these three player packs but they're actually kind of solid. So I would recommend trying to grind these if you can if there's not much of a gameplay grind that you want to do at least just go on semi pro and squad battles you know rubber band a little bit and get those done. So I'm sure a lot of you guys have looked at that already but this is just kind of the of a first for me getting on and seeing all this and yeah preseason. It's it's just it's kind of always like this really that's why I really tried to stress it last week. That was like guys preseason promo is really nothing that exciting. It ends up a lot of times being worse than footies and it definitely I would say is a little bit worse than footies this time around. It's not horrendous but it's a little bit worse because there's just not as many cars and packs right now now that could change again. And one thing I want to talk to you guys about is the footies cards that went out of packs from Team Six absolutely exploded. I know some people are still trading on this game trying to keep it fresh for the start of FC 24 which I rate. Donaruma went from like 4050 K to 190,000 coins. Debala had a massive massive rise as well. Now if you bought any of these or if you bought it for your team if you still care about your coins or you're trying to get in that market mindset before FC 24 be careful with these. It's the only thing that I would shout because if they're going to drop a new rerelease of preseason that probably means that some of the footies cards that are not in packs now. A.K.A. Debala, A.K.A. Lucio, Mbappe 99, Lewandowski premium footies 99 who's up like 300-400,000 coins from where he was. Yes, even in September these guys are going up in price. Wow, 1.7. I would probably move those on if you haven't been a club tradeable because you've seen what's happened to other players that have been rereleased once again that have gone down a ton of price. Ronaldo's actually on the market now. You know, stuff like that. Joe Gomez down horrendous. He's seen a lot of DeMaria, Griezmann's 80K like what he was crazy expensive before. So yeah, of course, that stuff you got to be a little bit careful about if you care too much about it. And yeah, other than that, I mean fodder isn't even worth talking about fodder because I don't think it's moving too much. Maybe a little bit on the low tier. What are 95s? Oh, actually, okay. So the higher rated stuff is actually moving. Okay, that's really interesting with less stuff in packs and some of the stuff going out of packs. Modric has exploded. Yeah, remember he was like 23,000 coins. He's 40,000 coins now for some of this higher rated stuff. Lewandowski's the cheapest 97. Marshal 37K. So some of the tops here has actually moved up in price. GGs, if you guys have any of that or invested in any of that. But that's kind of the state of this game. What's going to happen today? Wednesday, right? Obviously, the daily content is not like a huge thing. It's more like, all right, we log on FIFA today, do our daily log in SBC, do a couple 8510s, see if anything else dropped in terms of player SBCs that I could grind. I'm hoping they drop a showdown today. I'm really hoping they drop a showdown. I missed the first one between Declan Rice and Mason Mount, I think is who it was. I'm really, really hoping they drop another one today because I would love, absolutely love to grind another showdown. And we do have international break that is about to be here. Wow, I packed the VaynerSar. I didn't even notice that. That's actually kind of crazy. International break we have coming up right now. So maybe EA would go and kind of focus on a game that's going to be happening as a part of international break. And they could drop us a showdown for that. I hope they do. Love the showdown cards. Love the transfer cards. Just love the player SBCs in general that give us, you know, new faces at new clubs and stuff like that. As you can see, my club goes from straight to 85 rated down to 79s because there's no store packs in the store. I just noticed as well, no 400K packs for me to replenish my club, which is a little bit unfortunate in my opinion as well. Let's drop the rating here really quick from this. Let's go with Cheeky Kailur Navas to a Toditch, Suley in for Cruz and we are still at the rating. Can I save that? I can. Wow. All right. Well, I have duplicates to deal with. I know I just turned in VDS, but it is what it is. It's the end game. And yeah, I don't know why the 400K pack is not at least still there. That'd be a fun way to at least try to pack the 99 rated cards that are out right now as well. I think EA is missing a little bit of the boat there, honestly, but it is what it is. And I need to turn in a few of these cards still for another 85 times 10. But yeah, guys, today, content-wise, I don't really know what to expect other than just the player SBC. It's more just kind of the same grind, getting on every day, get the SBCs done that you want to get done and get a little bit of gameplay in. I'm still trying to play a few tournaments here and there just to try to get the FP. I won that one tournament like a week ago and I haven't seen the FIFA points show up for it yet. So I don't know what's going on there, but those tournaments are sweaty and they're very, very glitchy and a lot of people like cheating them, honestly. But besides the point, one thing I do want to point out to you guys in terms of FC24 News, which we're going to be covering a lot of really, really soon is a lot of leaks and a lot of info has been coming out. It's been a little quiet on EA's end. It's been more exciting for the leaks and stuff like that. We're going to have another video today looking at some stuff about EA FC24. I think we're also going to get some news from EA. I mean, we know a lot of ratings because they've been leaked and posted. I think EA is going to start announcing ratings here very, very soon as well. But it's going to be a little bit underwhelming, right? Because we kind of already know them from the leaks. So watch out for that today, but they posted that video of Holland yesterday. So maybe something is coming today on Wednesday. But if you guys enjoyed the video today, drop a thumbs up on it. Comment down below if you have any questions. And of course, subscribe if you are new. I'll see you guys on Twitch today. I'm excited to get back to grinding. Got to pack those 99s. Got to chase them all. Got to collect them all. That's what I grind right now on this game. So again guys, zoom in the stream today. That link is down below in the description too. It's been Nate from The Count. It's good to see you again. Peace out.
