Hey guys, it's Nate, aka The Foot Accountant, and welcome back to the channel.  It's one of the biggest promo Fridays of the year. We'll talk everything related to the market, SBCs, objectives, what you should expect today on FIFA, and a couple things that may even surprise us on this game today. So, if you're excited for Footies, drop a thumbs up on it, and of course, subscribe to the channel. We started everything off with Footies, with a couple of Footies cards being dropped yesterday in Season Objectives. Guys, I want to go through this really fast. I know a lot of you have looked through it already. You know what's in here. But just to kind of overview it really quickly before we get into today's content and what to expect today, Ryan Kent, technically our first available Footies card, dropped yesterday a premium item, decent stats, 5 star, 5 star. That's what I'm noticing about all these cards here in the Season Objectives. And I think that's what we're going to be seeing a lot of with the Footies dropping today. And in the future is a lot of 5 star, 5 star, a lot of traits being added, and a lot of really insane stats because this takes Endgame to a whole new level. Now, personally, is Kent worth taking here? That's up for debate. We'll see where we're at when we get to level 20, maybe in a week or two, or maybe hopefully just less than two weeks. It doesn't take that long to get to the Season Campaign. I know the objectives in the XP started off a little bit slow yesterday. A lot of people that do have EA play are a bit ahead with that extra XP boost that you can get through that. But it is a little bit slow going, but that's usually how these start. Now, get spicy at level 30 with Diogo Jota, 5 star, 5 star here, high, high work rates. Man, I have to say the premium Footies card design is miles clear of the regular Footies one, especially just the way this Jota looks versus the way like the Ryan Kent just looked. But that's another great card, also an 84 times 30, tough choice there. At level 30, level 35, it's all about the 85 times 10. And then level 40, everybody's talking about this card. This is insane, man. It might be the best Season Progress player we have ever had. I know that it's a 5 star, 5 star, 99 pace, 99 dribble, Vinny. So it's like, how does it get any better than this? Yes, I know it's the end of July, and we're probably not going to be able to get this card until middle of August, right? It's probably going to be four or five weeks from now until we can get this card. But that is just insane, right? GG's to EA, absolutely incredible card right there. And there's a little surprise here at the end. Level 41, if you guys are wondering, where is the Dala kit at? How do I get that kit to do the objective in milestones for the level 41 bonus? That is where it is. Level 41, once we get there, I like it. A little bit of extra fodder packs for a very, very easy objective grind to get yourself an 85 times 10 and some good packs along the way. I love that from EA. It's like you get to level 40, but there's a little bit extra there. That's a little bit more incentive to grind through the rest of the season, this upcoming footies, kind of 41 days that the season is going on. Also, footchamps rewards, as expected, they were upgraded to include shapeshifter cards. And guys, that's going to impact the market today for sure. As tradable shapeshifters are going to be put onto the market and supplied once again from rank three and above. And of course, they're in the player picks as well. One thing from last year is they actually didn't come out as red shapeshifters as like red footchamps versions. They actually showed as regular shapeshifter card designs in what we know as red picks. So I will see if that happens today. It might because there's no due card design that has been added. So watch out for that. Also yesterday, we had a Joseph Lou player, SBC, not a bad card, Real Madrid links and a pretty cheap price coming in. I believe if I check footband right around, I guess it's not that cheap, but $100,000 coins, maybe a little bit of Real Madrid tax. Four star, five star, six foot four. Easy to get done with high-rated and there's going to be plenty of high-rated coming out today in packs, guys. We're going to talk a lot about it. So that was an OK SBC yesterday. Other than that, the season progress really stole the show. Now let's talk about today. Footies Friday, right? We have a loading screen. That's the kind of the only news that we have about cards we're getting today. And it doesn't even tell us that much. This is one of the least revealing loading screens we've had in a long time. One player with 95 dribble and five star skill moves and one player with a five star weak foot and 99 shooting. There's a lot of conversation around who this premium card's going to be. Chris Generonaldo, Lionel Messi. Could it be somebody else, right? I mean, there's just so many opportunities for who that card could be. I would imagine that we get both of these cards today, guys. I would imagine we get them both. They also both might be in SBCs. If I remember correctly, last year on the first Friday of Footies, we had a Luis Diaz. And I think we had a Rodrigo de Paul both on day one. Luis Diaz with a premium and de Paul was the non-premium normal Footies card. So that's just kind of going off of last year. There might be two SBC players today. One of these could also be objectives. And of course, I would expect a lot of content to be dropped today related to Footies guys in SBCs and objectives, of course, in packs. We don't expect to see any Footies cards. That's not ever how Footies has been run. They could change it, but we're not expecting that for today. Other potential content that we could see today, right? What does Footies always bring us, right? Player voting, right? Weekly votes where we get to choose on the players that are going to end up getting Footies SBC players. I love this. This is one of the favorite parts about Footies every single year. And it better continue. So watch out for a player to vote today via a player pick, probably with loan items. And then we'll end up seeing who wins a couple days later. And then they'll give us the SBC. So hopefully we get some of that today. The Footies favorites SBCs are just kind of the random SBC players that they dropped throughout the promo. And then of course, a weekly cup. A weekly cup is very, very possible. It's been very common during, you know, level up cup that we had this last week or a shapeshifter. Right? Cups have been very prevalent this year. A lot of friendly mode grind there. So I would expect to see something along those lines. Maybe it's not this week. Maybe it's further down the line, but I would expect to see some sort of a cup. And then here's a little bit of a tease because a car design was added to the code yesterday for heroes. Footies heroes guys. This is an official car design added to the code. Sahil criminal on Twitter tweeted this, but he said it's courtesy of foot scoreboard who always tweets out the car designs when EA adds them to the code. So this is not like a leak. This is like, this is a car design. It's going to be in the game, whether it's today, whether it's next week in the coming weeks of Footies. We don't know. But wow, heroes getting upgraded. It needed to happen, right? And then of course he put out another tweet saying, imagine some of these heroes getting upgraded. You know, this is just all concept. This is not elite guys, but hopefully just about all of the heroes that we have in this game will be able to get one last end game card. That could be really cool and maybe really fun to do through SBCs and through objectives and grind it out. So there's a lot of hype with that potential building right now. But for today, we don't know. And right now it is just a car design that's been added to the code and hopefully that means some nice spiced up hero cards to come. Now everybody wants to know what's going to mean in packs today, man. Like you've got upgrade packs that I've been saving. You know, I even saved a healthy amount of packs here just because I'm interested to try to craft SBCs today. And there's a great SBC to route the 80 plus players pack if you want to save and build some upgrade packs for today. That is the pack that I would tell you to build. 81 plus player picks are fun as well. SBC is so much better with the three player packs. And these cards are about the gold to the market are about 500 coins. So they're rising a little bit as people are getting excited today. Well, yesterday it was a mistake, I believe, on EA's part, but we actually kind of know what's going to be in packs, right? We always talk about a best of with footies. That is what happened last year as a part of the re-releases where they put old special cards back in the packs. We've known this. We've talked about this. But EA, that pack that was added to the code a while back that was going to give out a footies best of batch one player on a 99 game loan, that actually dropped yesterday for those. I think it was PlayStation only users. And I think it was also if you have EA play, obviously it's called the EA play pack. So we got to actually see some of the cards that are going to be in packs today. And guys, there were it's going to be disappointing. It is every single year. And that's what we've been trying to prepare your guys expectations for. We packed like Vardy. I heard of people packing like, I heard of people packing ones to watches, right? The cards that are going to be re-released in packs today are going to be from older promos from throughout the earlier parts of this year. Maybe some of the World Cup promos, maybe fantasy foot, basically stuff from team of the season and before. I doubt today we're going to see many team of the season cards in packs, but we should see some team of the years. And these prices of course on these cards have already started to drop. But guys, I'm telling you, they're going to drop any card that is re-released back into packs today is going to get destroyed. Especially on some of the cards that still maintain a decent amount of value. Last year we had Ronaldo, team of the year, Mbappe and Messi all in packs. This year I would imagine Messi and Mbappe and I'm not entirely sure who else. Maybe Benzema they put in, maybe they put in Militao or Hakini, right? There's going to be some team of the years in packs today. Also, there's been news that has been reported that a team of the year icon Pirlo was packed out of that very pack that I just showed you that 99 game match alone. That means that a team of the year Pirlo and maybe other promo icons from Foot Birthday from team of the year, maybe even Trophy Titans could be in packs today. Same thing with heroes. That's a nice thing about the heroes and icons being promo cards this year is that it looks like EA is going to consider them as also a part of the best of re-release today. So this is going to impact the market a lot.  Doesn't that mean that maybe some of my players, if I went for my team that are shapeshifters or maybe level up cards that I want to go and grind from team two, should I be going and buying those in the market right now? Potentially. But there's a lot to kind of break down. Like guys, today is going to be such a wild day on the market. Cards are going to be all over the place. You're going to have cards that are re-released in packs like the team of the years we were just talking about or even if like, let's say Zlatan Centurion gets re-released back into packs today. This card, actually Zlatan is another name that people think might be that card on the loading screen. Imagine a 99-shot premium version of a 5-star, 5-star Zlatan like that. That would be an insane card as well nonetheless. But this is a card that could be re-released back into packs today. And those cards are going to get absolutely destroyed. They're going to get panic sold into content today, but they're going to drop even lower. Don't mess with many of those because they're just going to be headed to the bin. Now, let's talk about shapeshifters because there's some interesting movements with these cards as well, right? These cards are some of the most met up, popular and up-to-date special cards in this game. And the thing with these is they're going to be very heavily in demand as people go out and buy cards for their teams today. I think a lot of people are going to see the cards that are in packs for like the best of, right? With some of these older promos from earlier on in the year being included like Winter Wild Cards and Team of the Tournament, World Cup Phenoms.  But for some people, that's going to be like, ah man, there's not that really great of cards in packs except for a lot of fodder, which is still cool to an extent. And it does make it worth opening packs to do all of the footies' SBCs. But last year, guys, on this footies Friday I made tons of coins trading with shapeshifters, Team of the Season cards, and the most recent promo cards as people went back out to buy teams to play the Weekend League. So I do believe there could be some more panic-selling on shapeshifters and on the rest of the market heading into content today, especially with the shapeshifters because they're like we mentioned in the beginning of the video, they're going to be getting supplied tradable on the market today from Weekend League Rewards. Guys, yes, there will be demand for these, but there will also be some supply. Think of it as like shapeshifters are kind of back in packs a little bit.  They're going to get packed a lot more than Rudeger, DePie, VVD, and guys like Marys, those guys are not going to get packed that much, but these are the types of cards that if I was trying to trade and make coins today or specifically buy for a certain point, because I'm trying to go out and buy players for my team, those are cards that I would look to buy today right around the content drop time, see what we get for content, and then go out and maybe pick a couple of those up because they could be falling in the morning before we get to the actual content release as well. So those cards are going to be a good watch today and then also guys, the level up cards. We're going to talk about those a little bit at the end of the video. It's a very interesting day for level up cards from team one and from team two. So be cautious today if you're looking to buy cards from your team. I would just say make sure that the content today that they drop is not like super crazy and sane, but I think after that, there's probably a green light to go and buy a few cards from the most recent meta promo teams, like shapeshifters or maybe even a level up card for your team so that you can go and play the Weekend League for those brand new rewards because there is the Weekend League demand, right? People are going to be getting on FIFA today and playing this game because footies always brings the hype and also those are new Weekend League rewards, right? And also like we said, people might be a bit disappointed by the cards that are in packs and since the focus of this promo is really the SBC players, there's going to be a lot of hype around what is in SBCs. Now also, this is where I think we could really be surprised today is two SBCs that we had last year, right? We're not done talking about footies. You're like, Nate, really just two SBC players? Maybe one is an objective and then we're talking about all the market? No, no, no, there's more. And here it is. Last year, EA on the first day of footies dropped two massive player pick SBCs and they were super cheap. I don't know if you guys remember this. The footies player pick, which earned one of three footies batch one player. So people were grinding this, the packed guys like the team of the year Messi, team of the Ronaldo, and I think it was either unlimited repeatable or you could do it like 10 times a day and the same thing with this Premier League bag, campaign bag player pick, earned one of three Premier League foot birthday, fantasy foot, foot captains, team of the season, or shapeshifter player. So those team of the season and shapeshifter cards were included in this player pick and man, I'm telling you what, there was a lot of people doing this SBC as well and fodder really, really, really moved, right? All of you guys that are maybe saving up a few packs today, you're not just trying to pack those old, lower rated promo cards from older promos and stuff like that for fodder. You're trying to pack fodder as well so that you can go and do these types of SBCs that give you a pretty good shot and maybe pack in one of those team of the years that's re-released into packs or a player pick like this that would give you the opportunity to maybe pack a shapeshifter like a Joel Felix or a Hugo Uriis. I don't know if they're going to do the same thing again this year, guys, but this is one thing that made the market go absolutely crazy last year and it brought so much hype to footies. I really hope they do this again because it was phenomenal. Now, we're talking about SBCs, we got to talk about fodder as well. As we've mentioned all week, yesterday, Wednesday, great time to sell your higher rated fodder, I think 88s and above specifically because what do we think today is going to happen again? All those older promo cards that are getting re-released are going to bring the market down a fodder. Like team of the season where all the team of the season cards dropped the high rated fodder prices because they were high rated cards and they got supplied so much. I expect that to happen today but if we get these types of player pick SBCs, last year what happened when we got them was high rated fodder was going down even with like the Luis Diaz that we had in other footies player SBCs, low rated fodder because of these player picks went up a ton. Guys, I'm telling you right now, 84s at 2,000 coins, these have been so low for like the last what, two weeks? I mean when was the last time that 84s were above 4k? Like it's been, it's been a month since the last time these guys hit 5,000 coins. They have been very, very low for so long. 2,000 coins for these guys, if you want to do a little bit of a club stock, maybe if we see the SBCs come out today, this would be a place to go and invest right away if you see that or if you want to buy a couple ahead of time just to have some fodder in the club. 83s, 84s and 85s, I think it's going to be just like during the season guys. That's the rating of fodder, 86 is as well potentially. That's the rating of fodder that we're going to be needing to watch through this next week because everybody's going to be packing high rated promo cards and have duplicates. What are they going to go do? They're going to go do SBCs and they're going to fill in the rest of those squads with 84s and 85s. So, this is the area of the fodder market I would tell you guys to watch out for today and also heading into this week. They could be moving big once again and they could be really good to invest in or at least to stock into your club to get ahead of the game just a little bit before everything goes down today. Guys, the biggest part of today is obviously the footies players though. These need to be massive players whether it is Messi or Ronaldo. The premium card needs to be good. The other card needs to be good as well and there needs to be a vote and just like the footies players need to be flowing. Last year they were flowing every single week we were getting players like every single day or voting to kind of get another player upcoming soon every single day so they need to have a lot of players coming out over this next couple weeks of this promo and it hopefully starts with a bang today with all of that. Now, we're going to talk about one more thing with a specific part of the market with some specific cards and yes it is the level up guys because these level ups especially from team one we're talking about guys like Renato Sanchez, Kevin De Bruyne, Teemo Werner, look at these prices right now guys how much is Renato? Oh my gosh 1.8 mil. Renato is down bad. A lot of these cards are getting panic sold once again it's even worse than it was last night because the objective is going away. The objective goes away today guys and you no longer can upgrade Alfonso Devis, Teemo Werner and all these other cards to their higher rated version but these cards will still be on the market and there's still pretty good cards guys like this is the best version of Alfonso Devis in the game and he's only 200,000 coins or I look at the Teemo Werner card I look at the quality of this striker. I know he's not the best in terms of links if you run like a Premier League team, yeah we had the Jamie Vardy just recently but a 4 star 5 star Teemo Werner with these stats for 80k that's pretty cheap. The Enzo Fernandez you know I would even throw the Renato Sanchez I think the Renato Sanchez needs to drop some more today. His tots card is crazy, crazy cheap but this card is a lot more rare than his team this season it's a cooler card design and it's an insane card. I would say this be very careful with these level ups I think there's a time for the team 1 cards I'm thinking exactly for Enzo Fernandez Teemo Werner Alfonso Devis and then Renato who else? Renato and KDB there might be an opportunity, maybe even Cavani as well there might be an opportunity at some point today or this weekend to invest in some of those and maybe even from the level up team 2 because these cards are going out of packs but a lot of people are still going to want to grind the objectives. So last Friday a lot of the team 1 cards from level up dropped during the weekend that might happen with level up team 2 this weekend so be careful with that but there also might be some really good investment opportunities. Now I'm not going to be buying too many of these cards unless it's for just a quick flip. Again I don't know how this is going to go down and it's just it's crazy. We've never seen anything like this before but I'm definitely going to be following these cards today just to see where they move and where they go because I'm super interested to see how many people still value those cards on the market even though you can't upgrade them. They're still pretty solid cards. So we're going to watch the market a lot today but really what the most important thing is today on this game is the footies SPC players. They've got to be good players they've got to be decent prices which they usually are and that's where the hype comes from for this promo but I hope that EA deliver today guys and I know you do as well. So stock up a few packs if you want to get some extra fodder today. Today the packs are going to start looking real fun you're going to see a lot of colors and that's why people really really love the footies promo. I've saved up some of these like 80 plus packs, 82s, 83 pluses I even have an 85 times 7 so we're really excited for that. I think there also is maybe the icon SPC refreshes today as well. Got to mention the 90 plus Brazil, France and the Dutch icon upgrade I have not done. I think that might refresh today too so watch out for that. There are some other SPCs that are expiring today in terms of player SPCs. I don't know if anything else is refreshing though. Let me go really quick back here to back and check. The daily login goes away with maybe there's a daily login for footies who knows other than that, no looks like a lot of this stuff is expiring a lot of the level up cards are expiring as well and it's footies day today guys and I'm super duper excited for it will be live streaming that link is down below in the description if you want to top in on the twitch live stream about an hour or so before content will be getting ready watching the market and getting ready for a big day of footies. Exciting day today guys come and join the stream of this we'll have a lot of fun but if you enjoyed this video drop a thumbs up on it, comment that below if you have any questions and subscribe if you're new I'll see you guys in the stream today it's been Nathan Ford Accountant, catch you guys there. Peace


Welcome back to our channel. My name is Andrea with Food and Mentory Adventures in Food. And I am here today with a haul from Trader Joe's. I spent $97 in some change and I will jump right in. So I'll start with the produce. I got some shredded kale and I also got some organic broccoli florets and some green cabbage. Last time I got green cabbage and kale, I made a stir fry and it was really good. So I plan on doing that again with the kale and the green cabbage. Also, grab some buttermilk biscuits for a recipe that I am going to be making for one of our dinners.  It was in the refrigerated section. For those of you that don't know, my husband is Jamaican and every time I see something jerk, I try to grab it for him. And so he's excited about this.  And I grabbed a couple of lemons because I plan on making some cookies or pie. Not sure which yet. And then I grabbed some refried beans for our dinner. Grab some orzo for a recipe that I saw that I can't wait to try. And then I also grabbed some enchilada sauce because I need that for a recipe as well. I have mentioned before how much I love their taco seasoning mix. Every time I go, I grab, well, almost every time I go, I grab some of their taco seasoning mix. It is really good. Unlike anything else that's on the market, it's only 79 cents and one package seasons two pounds of ground beef or turkey or whatever. So I think there are four tablespoons in here, I think. So I just usually use half the package to season one pound of beef for us. And then I just save the rest for later. I have wanted to try these for a while. I really do like almond butter and I like almonds. So I was excited to try these. They are covered, these are almonds covered in a sweetened almond butter coating. And then I grabbed two of these tarts. Howard and I really like these. I went to a different Trader Joe's today. The one that I normally go to it's close to my house. This one is about 20 minutes away and it's bigger and they tend to have more things. So when I went to my local Trader Joe's last time, they did not have these tarts. So I did find them again at the other Trader Joe's. So I grabbed two. They are just flatbread with ham and Swiss cheese and they are so good. They're kind of small. So you do need to eat something with it. Like it's for Howard and I of course. So I usually have a salad or something like that. And then I have heard so many great things about this flatbread and wanted to give it a try. And then this is a seasonal item. This peaches and cream tart. And I heard it's pretty good. So I'm excited to try this out as well. And I think it was like $4.99 or something like that. I grabbed shallots because I love shallots and I'll probably use these in the Kale stir fry. Not sure. And then I grabbed some of these baby that yellow potatoes. I have a recipe that calls for these. So I just grabbed them. And then I grabbed some pork pot stickers. We really like these things a lot.  He really likes these a lot. And I'm not a big plantain chip person but these have a really good flavor. And they were only $1.79 a bag. So grabbed two. And then another seasonal item that they had were these citrus mousse cakes. So a couple of years ago, they had a chocolate mousse cake right around Christmas time and it was really good. That was my first time being introduced to mousse cakes. And so I was excited to see these because I love citrus. I've heard that the lemon is a lot stronger in flavor than the orange and the orange is just meh. But so we'll see. So grab that. And then last time I was at Trader Joe's, I grabbed their regular naan. This was in the frozen section. So I wanted to give the garlic naan a try. I think I have tried this a long time ago but decided to give that a try. Again, my last haul, I grabbed this rice orzo pilaf mix and it was really good. We liked it. So I grabbed it again. And I'll make sure to leave a link for my last Trader Joe's haul in the description box so you can see what I picked up then. Okay, grabbed these peach bars for Harrison. He hasn't had a lot of, that's our one year old. He hasn't had a lot of peach things. So I wanted to give these a try. He does like cereal bars. So we'll see if he likes them. And then he also needed some milk as well. Another seasonal item was this Southern peach crisp ice cream with peach puree and a crunchy buttery oat crisp. I got this for Howard because he likes stuff like that. I've been hearing good things about this pasta. It was in the frozen section and it says it is pasta filled with ricotta. Some cheese, I can't pronounce telgeo, I don't know. And mozzarella and a creamy tomato-based sauce. So I figured this would be a quick lunch or a dinner item for us. And I grabbed this pasta. I have wanted to try this for a while but Howard does really not like black pepper. And basically that's what this is. So I figured I would get it for myself or like a lunch or something like that. And I've heard really good things about these peanut butter filled pretzel nuggets. So I wanted to give those a try. Same as these, I heard these are good. These are, I heard like really teeny tiny. Well, say it on the package. They're really small pretzels and I love strawberry and vanilla. So I wanted to give that a try. I have purchased this before and I really liked it and I needed some more. And then I also grabbed these crispy peanut butter filled milk chocolate peanuts. It says peanut-shaped milk chocolate filled with peanut butter and crispy rice. And I heard that they are really good. And so I grabbed two just in case it's hard to find them again. So I grabbed two of those. And then the last thing that I grabbed, I was checking out and I saw this bag. It was 99 cents. It says George Washington Carver is the man and it has peanuts and it has everything. All about peanuts on here, basically. There you go. So I thought that was a really cute bag. So this is everything that I picked up on my Trader Joe's haul. I hope you guys enjoyed this video. If you did, please make sure to give us a thumbs up. And if you have not subscribed to our channel, I certainly hope you'll do so. Thanks so much for watching and we'll see you guys next time.
