 Hey guys it's Nate aka The Foot Accountant and welcome back to the channel. Today begins a time where we likely have the best chance of packing a promo icon or hero of the entire year of FC24. Today brings the brand new Golasso promo into FC24 Ultimate Team and we need to talk about what it is going to do to this game today. What to look out for in terms of impacts, cards, SBCs, objectives, and maybe even evolutions and a big player the month that could be coming today as well, there's a lot to discuss especially with all these icons coming. If you're excited for it drop a thumbs up and subscribe if you are new. Before we get into the madness of today let's go back and take a quick look at the end of Ultimate Birthday which we were left with just a quiet Thursday which is pretty normal right? If we're being completely honest, let's dip into yesterday's player SBC. There's not a whole lot to talk about here with Leo Williamson. It is not a bad SBC, it is not a great SBC. It is a cheap 89 rated card if you want to try a different center back, center defensive mid, arsenal, links, anticipate plus, always a very very good play style. Again, the best part about this is if you want to do it, it is a pretty cheap SBC, only an 85 rated squad which technically is coming in on the market at 28,000 coins and that's just barely above what a fodder 89 is going for. So a W, kind of these last three SBCs, Luca Becchio, Ferguson and Williamson will be good maybe to put in the club for a future EVO or just to do when you have some extra surplus fodder to get some SBCs done at a higher rating with those cards. Now the biggest thing yesterday, of course we had marquee matchups, there's not too much to say about that. Before we move out of SBCs, that is there, have to mention it. The biggest thing from yesterday, guys, Thursdays are really becoming massive for division rivals rewards. I mean, I got my rivals rewards division four, the reward upgrade just got into division four as I started playing rivals again, and I have not been playing rivals for a while, but literally from the cup rewards that I had left over to open and my division rivals rewards yesterday, I was able to complete this Haji SBC literally in one day. And I'm sure a lot of you guys did some of the same things like used your rewards from rivals to go and get some SBCs done. It's awesome. All the rewards that we are getting on Thursdays and all the SBCs we are able to craft because of that. It's just one thing I wanted to shout out. It didn't move the market a lot yesterday. It did make fodder prices go down as expected, and honestly, the ultimate birthday cards from team two really didn't rise up that much. That was expectation we had, but it really didn't happen for most of the cards. But it was a good day to trade. You did see some other player prices move up because people got those rewards, went out and bought players. I'm trading with a lot of stuff right now too as we head into this Friday. Now speaking of the market, there is a negative situation that has been happening a lot on this game in the past two days as well because EA and their fraudulent banning of players on the market, transfer bans, coin wipes, even banning people completely from the game, has been happening a lot. What in the world is this? A goalkeeper Roberto Carlos Card? Guys, they said they fixed this whole goalkeeper thing, man. What is that? What in the world is that, man? I don't know. It does not make any sense, but EA has been banning so many people on this game in the past day or two, coin wiping them, market banning them because of transactions made on the market that are actually not coin ban worthy transactions. A lot of people have been buying and selling or maybe trying to snipe or maybe they invested in as the cards were going up. Some of these bronzes like Colby Manu, who's 10,000 coins and was extinct. A lot of people are getting banned for trading with silvers and selling them at max price. Or for those of people who are trying to buy and sell goalkeepers with the playstyle pluses, the players that were not supposed to be goalkeepers that were all of a sudden changing the goalkeepers, right? These cards, people who are buying and selling these because they were close to their max price were getting coin wiped and banned. It's very frustrating and it is yet again another issue with this system that EA have to try to protect the market from what they don't want to happen is in coin buying and selling and transferring, but what it is in turn doing is just literally banning people who are doing nothing wrong except for trying to buy cards for evos or trade on the market. It's very frustrating and it continues to happen and a lot of people, if you look at the comments on yesterday's video, so many people got coin wiped or coin banned. It's sad because really what it is doing is it's making people not want to play the game when they have all the work that they've worked up to for now the past what, like six months that this game has been out and that's all whisked away in a minute's notice with a coin wipe or a market ban. It's just very frustrating. So if you got banned, I do want to point you guys to a place where you can send in your feedback. It's on the EAFC direct communications Twitter. I'll put the link to the tweet that they posted with the feedback down below. Make sure you get a help ticket and all that. They say it's going to help. I don't know. I hope it does for a lot of you guys. And I'm going to keep tabs on the situation because it's something, of course, that happened to me and I want to get you guys as much help as I possibly can. And hopefully that's what they told me to tell you is to go to the system, go to the feedback portal, use your case number and keep persistent with the cases and like try to get your coins back. So that's what we're going to do. But I needed to say that because a lot of people are having issues with that yesterday. Now let's move into today. The fun stuff, right? The Colasso promo that is dropping the day on this game, we had that loading screen yesterday that teased maybe a huge upgrade for Burbotov and it also leaked a brand new icon. Really quickly, I want to look through all of the icons that have been leaked so far. Guys, I think there's got to be more coming. There's not that many compared to what we had last year in the Trophy Titans promo. We need some more icons to be leaked. But this is one of the headliners. Johan Cruyff is going to be in packs today. He's on the loading screen. He is that middle card. He is going to be a Colasso icon coming today. We have got other big names coming. Newly leaked cards like Prins. It's not Gerd Muller on the loading screen. It is Prins. She's getting a big pace upgrade. Hopefully this card gets two very useful play style pluses. We're looking out for her. Javi Alonso. I would love it if they gave Javi Alonso a huge pace boost and just made his card genuinely insane. Why not? Who says no? He had the Thunderstruck card earlier on this year that was really cheap. It's kind of a fodder icon if you will. Give this man an insane card. His club is doing insane things IRL in the Bundesliga this year. Give him a card to celebrate that or something along the lines. I actually think the whole premise of this promo, guys, with Colasso is to commemorate moments or goals that these players had scored in their career and that maybe is going to be made evident by the different versions, like two versions of some of these cards that we're supposed to be seeing. Ashley Cole has also been leaked as a Colasso player. These are some of the hot off the press newest names that we have seen. Another version for him. I think that's his, this is second version this year. He's had, he had the Winter Wild, no, another Winter Wild card, Centurion's card and now this one. So he's getting another card. Of course, Bobby Charlton. We've talked about that one. He's going to be mad expensive unless they do two versions for him. That's going to be a crazy, crazy card though for sure. And Caffu, another big name defender. We've got Cole on the left and Caffu on the right leaked to be in this upcoming promo. But once again, guys, it's not a ton of names for the icons. Now, when we go back and look through some of the heroes that have been leaked, we've got Coler, we've got Dempsey. These are going to be some of the cheaper cards for sure. In my opinion, they could be boosted up pretty nice but I think they're going to be more packable and they're going to be pretty cheap but they will definitely be fun. Francescolli is another one that's coming. I'm actually a little bit excited for this card. He, I mean, this is his first year in the game. I have not even used his base hero card. He's got no upgrades yet. I'm excited to see what a Francescolli could look like today on this game. And of course, we've got Ococha. Evidently, he's going to have two different versions of his Colasso hero card and of course, the man himself, Genolla. A lot of people are still doing the Genolla SBC from Triple Threat. This is going to be, I would have to imagine this is going to be either the first or the most, second most expensive card that is released in the promo today. I think there might be a couple more hero leaks as well. Let me click through a couple of the, yes, we've got Burbotov. Of course, Burbotov's on the loading screen and his card actually looks like it might be used. I think on the loading screen, it shows 92 shooting and 93 dribbling. So that's kind of the hope. Like I mentioned with Javi Alonso, maybe for Burbotov as well, maybe even for Rafa Marquez. They take some of these heroes that we really have like not used because they're not that meta and they make them really, really good cards. That is the hope for some of those today. Now, that's kind of the cards that are in packs, right? And again, I want to mention the packability of these cards because we're expecting them to be pretty packable today, right? That's why we all have a really good chance of packing an icon or a hero today. I think probably the best chance of the entire year. You've got the card designs that are already in the game, Golasso Hero and the Golasso icon. It doesn't look like there's two different versions or anything like that. Like in the game right now, it just shows Golasso Hero and Golasso icon. So I don't know how the whole two versions thing is gonna work. Maybe it's only via SBCs and objectives because as of right now, I think besides Ococha, all the leaks that we have are for SBC players to have two different versions. But again, this is the promo that last year, they made a lot of these cards very packable and trophy Titans with the very high pack weight with some of the little bro icon versions and the big bro versions. So we'll have to see. I also maybe think that they're gonna make the heroes a lot more packable this year because there's a lot more heroes leaked than there are icons. But in reality guys, they're not gonna give us a promo where it's all icons and heroes that we like can't pack. You know what I'm saying? Like I haven't packed any foot birthday pires or even the lowest tier of the icons that were in ultimate birthday. I didn't pack any from last week into this week of birthday team one or two. But I have to imagine that since the whole promo team is made up of icons and heroes, they're gonna make them a lot more packable than regular icons and heroes. That's the whole point, right? They would be driving everybody off the game and saying, no, this promo sucks if they weren't packable. So we're kind of leaning on our intuition from last year's promo of trophy Titans and looking into this year, thinking that it's gonna be the most packable heroes and icons that we've had yet of the year, but we will have to see what ends up happening. So that's that. We'll be watching the store pack weight for sure, 100% today to see how much action is going on in there in terms of percentages from the lightning round packs and all that sort of stuff. Now, let's talk about SBCs because there's a lot of SBC content that we have to be looking out for today. This is the first leak, right? Or this is actually the second leak, technically. We have Al-O-Weirin is our first leak as potentially two versions. One of the Al-O-Weirins could be in packs and then the other could be in SBC and the same situation here for Van Percy, right? He is leaked to come as a Golaso SBC. And again, let me explain that leak again. It sounds like per the leakers that some of these cards have two different versions. One of them is maybe in packs and the other of them is either in SBC or an objective. Now, I think there's, this could be good. This could be really good because there could be a really good version that's an objective and then like a stupid crazy version that's in packs that happened last year with Birdcamp. If you guys remember, the problem with this is though, let's say Van Percy gets an SBC today and you go and do the Van Percy SBC and let's say it's like a 90, let's say Van Percy is like 92 rated or something, the new one that comes out today, right? And you're like, okay, that's a sick Van Percy usable. I want to use this card. But then the one that's in packs is like 93 rated and it's like five star skills, five star weak foot, something absolutely bananas. And then you end up packing that Van Percy after you did the SBC because we all know dupe theory exists, right? That's the sort of thing I could see a problem with these. If there's an SBC or an objective, you do that and then you pack the version that's in packs, there could be a little bit of a problem with that. And then also, if you do an SBC for a card, like imagine the SBC is for like this little bro Van Percy who's got more pace but less shooting. And then, you know, that card's good and cool and all, but then you're like, hmm, I did the SBC for this card and it's not the best version, right? The whole point of some of the ultimate birthday icon SBCs being so good was like, or even the ribbery SBC being so good is you were getting the best version of that card that exists. So there's gonna be a little bit of, you know, push and pull there, what's gonna be the hype around that. I'm really curious to see, as long as they juice the cards in SBCs and objectives and make them decent, there's good promise. I'm hoping it's out of the way in today to be completely honest, but I think it's gonna be either an out of the way in SBC or a Van Percy. It's either of those two today and then the other version might be in packs. Again, not entirely sure. We're just gonna have to play that one by ear today as well. Now, speaking of other SBCs that we are getting today on this game, we're getting a big time player of the month. It's been leaked, it's been talked about. This could happen actually before the 6 p.m. UK normal content drop time today, Vinny Jr. player of the month. It could be today, but also I do wanna say it could be later too. It could be actually next Friday. So I don't know which day it's gonna be. Today is very possible. Next Friday is possible as well since it's the start of a new month, but it's leaked, the voting is done. So it's kinda like why wouldn't they put it out this week? We'll just have to see. This could be a really, really big SBC that a lot of people would wanna craft. I would honestly say guys, this is like an Mbappe SBC for like a player of the month Mbappe. Player of the month Vinny would be like almost there, maybe just a step below. A Vinny SBC would be crazy because people wanna get their hands on a five-star skills Vinny Jr. card. Now here's the problem. I don't think he's gonna be 93 rated. This is his, I think an inform. The inform Vinny is the card that we look at as the last performance-based upgrade. Team of the year, technically you would say is based off his performances, but it's not like that month or like his performance recently in real life that's just kind of like the whole year, right? So I think that's a little bit different. I hope they make Player of the Month Vinny whenever he drops a 93, but he's probably gonna be a 91 that might make a little more of an affordable SBC though. We're talking maybe around one million coins to like 1.5 mil. I really like 1.3. It seems about right. If they were to drop a 191 rated Vinny, you'd think it'd be in there. If they dropped a 93 rated Vinny, then it might be really, really expensive. So just take it with that, what you will, but I think a Vinny Player of the Month is coming soon. If he doesn't come out today, I would say that some of his special cards would probably go back up in price. There'd be a little bit of a buyback on the team of the year on the inventions, maybe the Thunderstruck and the inform, which I believe the inform has already kind of gone back up some too because this card was down at like a million coins. He's up 100K. So there's potential for that SBC today. And then also another chance to pack the brand new cards in our Preval Team. I thought about saving packs, but then I looked inside of the SBC section and noticed that the 84.5 is refreshing again today and we can all do it three more times after the new cards are in packs today. So you might as well not save anything. Just rip your 84 times fives after content and you're good to go. That's gonna be our best chance probably to get a Galazzo Hero or a Galazzo Icon. And of course your daily gold upgrades you can do to get gold commons to rip through the 80 plus player picks with this menu craft that is still alive and well, it is very good. Now we kind of already mentioned objectives, right? There could be an objective player today as well. Last year it was the bird camp like we mentioned and that was really hype because that was like one of the first times ever we had an icon player that you could just obtain and a good icon player at that that you could just obtain by playing the game. So I don't know how it's gonna work out today if we're gonna get something like that again or if it's gonna be a hero but I do expect some sort of objective and the real question I have is what are they gonna do for an evolution? Because I don't know, maybe you guys have done an icon or a hero Evo this year but they've not been good. Like I think back to all the icon Evos maybe the one where you could boost up Zola I didn't even think that one was worth it. There's gotta be something in here with this promo that they're gonna do something in evolutions but I wouldn't expect as much stuff as we have had during ultimate birthday for sure. Now make sure quick note the two-footed attack evolution is going away today at content if you wanna put somebody into that make sure you do that before then but yeah I don't know I wouldn't expect an Evo unless there is a leak for one but Fridays normally we start off a brand new promo with an Evo as well. The only thing that I would say is maybe you look into your club a little bit or maybe you look at a hero or an icon player if they're going to release an evolution that requires a hero or an icon at this state of the game as well and might even allow some of the UEFA heroes. If there's a favorite player that you have that's maybe a little bit lower rated and cheaper like maybe a Demarcus Beasley or I don't know maybe Rosicky or something like that one of those cheaper types of heroes maybe even an icon too. Those would be the type of heroes I think that would be evolvable and upgradable maybe put one in your club and just stock it just in case because this is one thing whenever we get hero or icon evos those prices of the cards that fit go crazy bananas high like they fly in price remember when like Fernando Torres was crazy high the other week like these cards go crazy when they're actually fitting an Evo so that's one thing I would mention is if there is going to be an icon or hero Evo those prices are definitely going to go up so that's kind of the content that I'm expecting now how's that going to impact the market because like we mentioned yesterday's market it wasn't like a slow spot but it was just a lot of the prices from foot birthday team too just kind of stayed the same maybe dropped a little bit like Mane is really low at the moment I still have the Goretzka that I bought at 1.2 he's been around 1.3 but not quite there couple cards dropped down even further yesterday like a Billy I did pick up one hoping for her to rebound back up a little bit but then other ones did pretty good like Raul's a little bit up Ian Wright's been chilling around 500,000 coins this 450 is actually really tempting to me because he was 500k yesterday I don't know guys I'm still careful I would want to be careful with a lot of prices because remember we are on the whole downtrend right now of after like the big inflation of post team of the year and the promo is not being that good foot birthday has really corrected the market and brought prices down but this might be the last like separate promo we have until team of the season like that's how close we are to potentially being a team of the season guys like three weeks away from Todd's cards on this game that's really gonna keep cards in check in my opinion I don't think you're gonna see a ton of crazy rises this weekend and I do think overall over the next three weeks still you're gonna see prices continue to slide down so that's why with the way I'm thinking of it is I'm not buying a card for my team that I'm gonna keep in my club for more than maybe just the weekend league type of situation so I would be continually careful with that right now in this game and I'll be just buying stuff to use for your team if you want to but I wouldn't go too crazy with it just because of thinking how that's going in terms of the market on the longer term trend now for somebody's foot birthday cards they're rare and I've been loving trading with these cards cause they are very rare in fact I just noticed that Diogo Jota is up like 70,000 coins up 76K from where he was just because he's rare and he had a price spike right in these cards as people go out and use them and buy them they have those fluctuations like this Benzema's going up Alex Morgan's above 600K now she was 580 I think a couple days ago a Rao Ho's been doing very well I don't know about as many of the icons Henri's still around eight million coins this Blanc he's going up yeah he's up a little bit so is this Blanc up 100K so I mean Buczorganya was 3.1 now he's 3.3 so I definitely think there's a potential that some of the foot birthday cards from Team 2 could rise a bit as they go out of packs today I would just say what I'm going to look at it as is I'm going to look at it as quick flips scenarios where if I see a card that's starting to go up or maybe there's an SBC that's coming out today that makes me think oh people are going to buy this card to link to the Alweiren that's why I picked up some Winterwild cards Christiana Ronaldo or maybe a guy like this Zair Emery who is very rare doesn't get packed a lot and since he's leaving packs today as well that re-release of players is going out of packs the second re-release basically maybe some of these cards are going to appreciate in value like the name are like the Zair Emery like the Ronaldo so that's just one thing that I'm thinking about I don't think it will last long but we're just kind of contemplating that today just stick to the rare cards the rare cards are where the money is right now lower budgets can be rare too like that Zair Emery for 420K he's not that expensive of a card and he is pretty rare I would also argue that Marco Royce for 185K is really rare for a 185,000 coin card Moppy Leone has some good fluctuations too so definitely keeping out for some of the foot birthdays and maybe even some of the icons person movement this weekend and as we talk about fodder as well man with all these crazy packs that EA keeps putting in the store it does not make me want to invest in fodder one bit remember last Friday we had the Ribery SBC and it actually made some fodder prices move like on stream I remember watching Erling Holland's gold card go from 43,000 coins to 52,000 coins well with more and more packs released throughout the entire week we are now here heading into a new Friday and Holland's back at 43,44K so what's gonna make this fodder go up again it would have to be another big time icon SBC there would be a very good value maybe a Vinny Jr. player the month could do it too but I really don't think I'm investing in fodder right now unless we get a crazy SBC today that requires something specific and it's unlimited repeatable guys the key to making a fodder move is an SBC that is unlimited repeatable or has like specific rating requirements inside of it and we haven't been seeing that the last time we saw an unlimited repeatable SBC that was good was the Encore icon right and Informs went crazy for that now I don't think we're getting an Encore icon again we could it's possible if they drop that again Informs are gonna go up there's also the Encore Hero pack as well that we saw added to the code now I wanna draw some attention to that really quick I think that's actually something that could be coming out as well I think that was in the pack code that was added a couple of days ago 86 plus Encore Hero pack seems like a pretty L pack and it's gotta be cheap but that could be an unlimited repeatable SBC another pack I wanna draw attention to Ultimate Birthday single player pack there's two of them here one of them contains an 88 or higher the other one is just a any player from oh no this is just new pack code just kidding Ultimate Birthday 88 plus single player pack imagine EA drops that as like a three times repeatable SBC whether it's per day that might be too much but maybe like three times repeatable in the next week that it's out that would make some fodder spike at least for the short term so we're just gonna have to be reactionary if you see an SBC like that that is dropped or if there's a leak for one of those to come then you can invest but when it comes to Informs I mean I have not been an Inform investor in this year's game too much at all apart from just a couple of quick flips I mean with the 84 times five being really the only informed demand right now for these cards I think I would sell those that's just me personally EA is gonna run more lining rounds this weekend and again that's another reason why I don't wanna invest in fodder until A I see a leak or B I actually see an SBC dropped like last week we had plenty of time on a stream looking at Erling Holland for 43,000 coins or 44K we could have bought up like two, three, four pages of this card as a 91 rated and then sold them for like three, four hours later for that inflated price that sort of move can happen after an SBC drops too kind of like going out to the market and your reaction investing in fodder type of thing so watch out for that today but they're gonna run the store packs they're gonna run the big ones yeah they've been doing that so why would they stop that's kind of the way that I'm looking at it right now and yeah that's kind of the content I'm expecting today should still be a good time on the game I mean to be honest there's a lot of hype for today because it's all icons and heroes and icons especially have a lot of hype this year so I mean imagine having the opportunity to get a really juiced and fun Van Percy you've got a of course you got the Caffu you've got the Charlton you got the Cruyff and all these other icons that are gonna be in packs like it could be a fun day today for sure on this game we'll just see how EA delivers with the boost of the stats on the icons how packable them and the heroes are and yeah guys we will have to see from there but if you enjoyed today's video and if you're excited for it today at least a little bit excited drop a thumbs up on the video comment down below if you have any questions and subscribe if you have not already I will see you guys in a Twitch stream today that link is in the description as well see you guys there it's been made for the count peace
