Video summary
The video introduces a significant shift in the endgame content for FC26, replacing the traditional post-Footies promo with a new event called "Ultimate Rewind." This initiative aims to refresh popular players from earlier in the season by granting them super high-rated cards, similar to how Ultimate Team handled special events in College Football 26. The host discusses recent Wednesday content, including a free evolution for center backs that offers five play style pluses but may not be optimal for all builds, and a return of a FIFA Legend dynamic featuring Enkuku. Additionally, the video covers the performance of high-value packs in the store, noting that despite being 98-plus guaranteed, they yielded very few 99-rated cards, which subsequently caused a noticeable drop in market prices for various tradable items like Nico Williams and World Cup winners.
A major focus of the discussion is the upcoming "Ultimate Rewind" promo, which is expected to feature leaked names such as Usman Dembele and potentially re-release iconic players like Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo at 99 overall ratings. The host analyzes whether this will be a simple re-release of existing card designs with updated stats or if EA will introduce new artwork, expressing hope for unique content that captures the nostalgia of the game's early weeks. There is also speculation about specific SBCs, including one for Laya and another involving new transfers, while addressing community questions regarding the inclusion of icons and players from specific clubs like Chelsea, Arsenal, and Bayern Munich in the upcoming event.
Finally, the host outlines the daily activities for Thursday, emphasizing that it will be a slower day for Special Points (SP) compared to Friday, which is when the full ratings database and new preseason completionist objectives will refresh. While there are no major pack rewards today, viewers are encouraged to engage in career modes and complete weekly objectives to progress toward FC27 rewards. The video concludes with an exciting plan to play FIFA 15 on stream as a nostalgic throwback and a reminder about the expiring Footies Exchange packs, urging players to utilize them before they potentially disappear if EA does not refresh the repeatable provision.

Hey guys, it's Nate aka the foot
accountant. Welcome back to the channel.
EA is actually switching things up for
the very end of FC26 as the promo that
we normally get after footies isn't
next. Instead, it is something new. And
that new promo is called Ultimate
Rewind. But what does that even mean?
We've got some of the answers to discuss
today and even some of the names that
are coming in this promo and
confirmation of 99 rated SBC's finally
coming back. We're going to talk about
all that today, but plus it is a
Thursday of content, which means we're
going to be getting some muchneeded SP
to progress in the season pass towards
level 30, which of course gives us FC27
rewards. Let's talk about it all. Guys,
if you're excited for this one, drop a
thumbs up with the video. Hype the video
and subscribe if you are new. Now, let's
look over yesterday's content on
Wednesday really quick. It won't take us
long cuz there wasn't much. First of
all, we have a free evolution that is
not as good as the goalkeeper evo that
we had two days ago. But this one boosts
up center back stats, including pace,
defense, physical, and it does give us
five play style pluses. But if you
already have quickstep, it'll give you
rapid, which is what you don't want on a
center back. Now, maybe for some EVO
chains, this does end up working out
pretty good for you, but for at least
the first couple cards it looked at
here, it doesn't look that great. It
does give a nice quick step plus boost
first for the fifth play style plus,
which is nice. So, like for Dan Burn
here, it gives him a defensive and
physical boost and a pace boost there.
Not amazing, but it's a free EVO and it
goes does give you five play style
pluses. Now, yesterday's SBC's brought
back kind of a FIFA legend. Like EA
missed an opportunity here to bring back
one of our favorite dynamics of all
time, the Enkunkuh blowing the balloon
dynamic that he had on his foot birthday
card. He had a bunch of cards. What was
that like FIFA 22 or FIFA 23 where he
had so many specials? He absolutely
cooked that year at Leipzig. He got so
many cards. But this one here is not
quite as cooking as those cards were. 97
rated a cuckoo, five star, fivestar.
He's got the positions. He's got decent
stats. He is evolvable some in some ways
because he is 97 rated. Needs a little
bit of a stat boost for pace, shooting,
passing probably at this stage of the
game, but he is cheap and easy to
complete. Now, also yesterday, we had
the footies team four one of three
player pick, which we can do three times
repeatable every couple of days. Now, I
got this one done. I didn't get anybody
higher than an a 97, I believe, inside
of it, but it is worth trying cuz it's
one squad. It's very simple and easy to
do. That is going to refresh in a couple
days. But arguably the biggest part of
content yesterday was in the store. And
guys, we never love talking about the
store that much, especially when it's
the first chance that we have of a 98
plus guaranteed pack. But that is what
EA did yesterday trying to make that
endgame dough with a 575,000
coin pack. Now I opened it twice. Uh I
tweeted about this as well, but we
opened a whole bunch. Check the Tik Tok,
checked the Instagram. We posted some
clips of us opening these yesterday.
They weren't that good. Like it's a 98
plus pack. You would think that the 99s
would pop out of this every so often. We
probably opened darn near like 20 of
these on the live stream yesterday via
SharePlays. And I think we saw in total
$3.99. Like it it was not a great drop
rate for the 99 rated cards. Now, of
course, if you have some coins in this
endgame period and you want to send it,
that is a chance to do so. But I would
not think that that is a good place to
put coins right now because I wouldn't
expect to get anything big, but it's the
endgame. So, if you want to have fun, go
have some fun. That did drop the market
though. I know market talk in late
August, but these cards from team four
of footies did drop and so did a lot of
other prices like the 99 rated World Cup
winner Spanish cards. That oars ball I
sold for 920,000 coins two days ago.
This Nico Williams is 830K.
I sold him for 1.17
literally yesterday and he's down a
whole bunch. But with what is upcoming,
I wouldn't really be holding on to any
cards tradable. And if you're looking to
buy somebody, I'm going to tell you to
buy it and use it. But if you're a
little careful in the market still and
don't want to lose coins, well, I think
this next promo might shake things up a
bit. And let's talk about that because
we had a glimpse into maybe what this
next promo is going to be because a
couple days ago they updated our next
gauntlet in game and they called it the
ultimate rewind gauntlet. But that was
confirmed yesterday after the leaks came
out about two players and a couple more
in the comments of these tweets that are
coming to this brand new Ultimate Rewind
promo. And first, I just want to talk
about what in the world is this? Because
we're in the middle of the pre-season,
10th season of this game that'll take us
to the very end. Usually, we have
footies and then preseason comes next
and it kind of leads us right into FC
27, the next FC. Well, that's the
season, but that is not going to be the
name of the promo that we get this
Friday. Now, this promo called Ultimate
Rewind. I did some searching. Some of
you guys in the chat yesterday mentioned
this is not a new promo for EA because
it was a promo that featured in College
Football 26. And if you read the
description here, I think it gives us
some insight into what this promo is
going to look like. Run it back with all
new 99 overall player items with some of
the season's best and most popular
players in Ultimate Team. So basically
what they did in college football was
they took players that were really
popular at the beginning of the year in
that cycle and they gave them super high
rated cards for the endgame cycle
basically refreshed earlier promo cards.
Now as we looked at this Dembele is the
first card that has been leaked and
there's a whole bunch of other cards
that we're going to talk about and some
names that are going to be in this
promo. But right away I started thinking
who is an early game card that would be
pretty good for this. Nico Williams. I
know he already has a 99 rated card, but
this card was like the dude at the
beginning of the game. Look at his
price. He was like 700 to a million
coins up until Black Friday. He was 1
million coins and then dropped off an
absolute cliff. You had some other cards
like this Lionel Messi. Maybe this is
the way EA is going to get a Lionel
Messi 99 and a Chris Shannon Ronaldo 99
rated card in the endgame. We've had 99
rated footies or at least some sort of
99 card for Messi or Ronaldo,
specifically Messi, for a number of
years in a row and right now we're not
on track to have that because all we
have is a 98 Messi from the World Cup.
So maybe that's the way that EA is going
to try to get some of these cards in
here. But the bottom line is that SBC's
are going to look great for this promo
too. And we have one leaked already. But
let me get into more of the names. Usman
Dembele is of course leaked. That is one
of the first names that is coming out
here. Somebody asked about ple foot
police says I don't have icons in this
promo, but we may get a fire icon rewind
SBC. Um, probably next week. He's not in
a rush to leak it. What is Rewind? It's
a lot like preseason. Any United players
or icons? Yes. Any Madrid players?
Trent, he's in the token store. This
This league is crazy to me. Salah is the
question. He is set to come as a token
reward on the 11th of September, but
these early leagues take them is not
guaranteed. That is so far away. You're
I don't care what's coming out on the
11th of September. All I'm going to care
about is FC 27. That is a week before
the game drops. That's crazy that he
knows that card is going to be coming
out then. That is absolutely wild.
Chelsea is going to have an SBC, but
it's in two weeks. Also crazy. Arsenal
is going to have a Cali objective and
little in the promo. Barcelona is going
to have Canelo a women's bombazo which I
think is the next league we're going to
talk about and then two past player
SBC's and he gets two bombazos for that
there. So he's kind of you know not
telling all the names that are going to
be in this promo but here's the
Barcelona player that I think he was
mentioning there. Caroline Graham
Hansen. I was trying to think what card
at the beginning of FC 26 did she have
that was like super popular and OP that
would kind of grant her this 99 rated.
This is the only promo card that she did
have apart from the gold. I mean, the
rest of these were from later in the
year. I don't remember this card being
super popular. I just remember it being
super expensive. 2.7 million coins.
Maybe they're referring to her gold
card. I mean, her gold card was pretty
good, but I think it was more
overpowered in FC25. And one thing that
I'm wondering with this promo is what's
the card design going to be? Are they
going to keep with the footies card
design because it does give a chem boost
and it is kind of the endgame card
design or are they going to give us a
new one? We haven't seen any new car
designs added to the code just yet. I
mean, it'd be cool if it was a new one,
but we'll see how maybe lazy is the best
word to describe EA is going to be in
this endgame time frame. Now, let me
read through a few more of these tweets
here. Obviously, the leakers aren't
super excited about this promo because
they just keep talking about FC27
ratings and not about what is coming out
in this Ultimate Rewind promo. Bon Mati
was the question. I don't have her.
There is no footies team five guys. On
the footies website, it says four weeks.
So, that is why we're very certain that
footies is going to be ending again. The
only question I have is, is the card
design going to be continuing through
any Liverpool cards? He said Trent PAX
promo or only SBC objective. I think all
but I am not 100% sure. Hansen I think
is a promo. That's an interesting
question as well because primarily in
the past preseason has been a promo
where we just get all other special
cards re-released in packs. They'll put
the footies cards back into packs and I
was thinking that since we haven't had
any of the World Cup cards like the PTGs
and the summer stars and stuff like
that, I figured we'd start getting these
cards in packs as well. But it looks
like it's going to be a re-release of
special cards in pack still maybe. Plus
new additional ultimate rewind cards.
That's something to kind of watch out
for. Any Bayern player? He says yes. Any
player from Argentina? He says SBC.
That's all that we've heard about that.
Now speaking of SBC's, this is the
biggest leak in terms of an SBC that we
have right now. More 99 SBC's are coming
soon. Laya is this week, probably Friday
or Saturday. the big marquee promo
player for this SBC or for the for this
SBC for the promo. He says new transfers
next week as well. This is also part of
the preseason promo that we normally see
is transferred players getting cards at
their new clubs. That's why I really
wonder what kind of card design we're
going to have. I don't think this is
official. I think that is a concept. But
a 99 layout is going to be an SBC this
week. And that makes me think of this
card, this screen layout. I mean, he was
even popular later on in the year. Very
popular early on. I mean, this dude was
1.2 mil up to 1.6 before Black Friday
happened. Big crash into team of the
year into to Black Friday and then into
team of the year through December. And
then, you know, this happens. He gets
into evolutions and his card is not
supplied at all in packs goes crazy.
Then he gets re-released and they do the
whole EVO thing where you can take a
card that was untradeable and make it
tradable again from Evolutions if it was
originally tradable and his price
absolutely crashes. But nonetheless,
this was one of the crazy overpowered
cards early in FC26. So I wonder if it's
going to be a promo card of Rafa Liao
with that same dynamic, just a new
endgame card design. That's what I'm
really wondering. kind of going off of
the name, running it back with 99 items
for the season's best and most popular
players, ultimate rewind. Are they
literally just going to keep the same
dynamic images, change the card type in
the stats, and run those cards back as a
promo? Again, you could maybe label that
as a little bit lazy, but that's kind of
what this sounds like. So, I'd watch out
for more leaks today because this is
looking a little more interesting than
preseason in my opinion. It has some of
the same aspects of preseason with the
transfer cards and 99 rated SBCs and
stuff like that, but really that is the
motivation for me. Give me 99 rated
player SBCs that are cool, that are
unique, that makes the grind and the
craft a little bit more worth doing. And
also, I mean, EA, the closer that we get
to the end, like can you turn that back
wake up pack weight up a little bit?
Because I know that I've packed two 999s
and I'm very, very lucky to say that I
have been able to do that. But goodness
me, it is it is rough out here still
when it doesn't feel like the pack
weight has really changed at all. And
people are now at this stage with the
unlimited pack grind just wanting to get
99 rated. So let me know in the comments
what you think about Ultimate Rewind
there. Hopefully there's some other cool
aspects this as well. I mean if EA are
really trying to release some good
content, Ultimate Rewind, we love
looking back and we love nostalgia. Like
look at what's happening with all the
old FIFAs right now. I know that it's
not quite nostalgia because it was only
earlier on in the year, but just kind of
trip down memory lane. Take us back to
some of the parts of FC26 at the very
beginning of the game when it was at its
best in this first couple of weeks and
the month. Like take us back to some of
that. Maybe some other forms of content
that they could refresh. I'm intrigued.
This sounds interesting because it is
new, never seen before. So, we'll have
to see how it is delivered. Now, of
course, let's bring it back to what's
happening today. We're really not
expecting too much today on Thursday. It
is the last day though before we get the
full ratings database and EA's out there
posting ratings. But guys, it's
basically all been leaked. There's even
an app, the foot scoreboard app that I
mentioned yesterday. If you guys do want
to look at some of the official Skill
Move Weak Foot, I guess it's technically
a leak. It's not official, but Skill
Move Weakfoot stuff like that, you can
search in there. That's how some of the
leakers right now are tweeting about the
fastest cards in FC27. You can go on the
foot scoreboard app and look through
some of those ratings. This one we got
to talk about real quick. Huge upgrade
for Diamande. I mean, he's the same
rating as Faren Torres. That's maybe a
little bit crazy in my eyes. Huge
upgrade there for him. Big move, of
course. Big big move to Real Madrid, but
still pretty crazy. And then if we're
going to talk about ratings, we got to
at least mention this. RIP Chris Jenner
Ronaldo's fourstar fourstar now and he's
got 67 pace. He did not get an upgrade
like Messi and Modris did. Some of the
older guys getting upgrades. Not
Ronaldo. He is down to 84 rated. He will
be evolvable even sooner than ever, but
he still maintains his ADHD shooting on
that card. Really, really crazy to see
that. Now, talking about today's
content, other than the rating leaks and
rating official posts that EA will
probably be putting out, we got to look
for SP. It's been a slow start to the
season. And I feel like I'm ahead from
where I normally am because of some of
the gameplay that I've been doing and
the bonus SP that you do get for being
like what was it? Level two. You get a
bit of a jump start there in the premium
pass, but we should get some SP today.
The weekly objectives should refresh and
then the daily objectives too. Also, if
you're looking to level up, make sure
you play manager career, player career
clubs, if you want to put that grind in,
the opportunity is there for you uh to
level up there because those are going
to be refreshing. also today. But again,
it's been a slow roll for SP. That's why
I want to mention that. One thing that's
not happening today is we're not getting
one of these new preseason completionist
objectives. In the last season, these
reset on Thursdays like when we had the
Estava, the Leonard Carl, the Krooppy,
the Ken Uzen during footies. These are
going to actually refresh on Fridays for
preseason. So, we're not getting Katina
Marcario today. And we're not getting
more packs to potentially earn for FC27
today. That'll be tomorrow on Friday.
But other than that, today what I would
be expecting is the SP, a player SBC and
Evolution, and that is probably about
it. We've had, like I've said, some good
EVOs on Thursdays, but I wouldn't be
expecting too much today as we do get a
new promo tomorrow. So, definitely keep
an eye out for the least. We'll be
covering them and talking about them in
the stream today. And also guys, I'm
hoping to really get nostalgic today and
throw it back and actually play on
stream the first FIFA that I ever laid
eyes on and played. Yes, we're going
back 11 almost 12 years to the first
FIFA that I ever played. Hopefully today
on stream, if you haven't seen it kind
of blowing up on Twitter and on socials
recently, FIFA 15 has been opened up.
We're going to give it a go today.
Hopefully the servers are allowing it.
There's a whole bunch of people that are
getting on it, but we are going to see
if we can play that today and really
throw it back to some of the awesome
awesome times back on that game. It's
just going to be a nostalgia core memory
unlock type of moment. So, make sure you
come to the stream today for that. I'm
trying to get a footies card at least in
a couple of packs here. I also need to
rinse my club because I've got a very
full club, a lot of dupes at the moment,
and I've got a lot of uh exchange packs.
Ooh, actually, that's the last thing I
got to discuss with you guys today. I've
got 59 of these footies exchange packs
that are here today. This SBC is set to
expire. I think just like last week, it
should refresh. But if EA do not refresh
the repeatable footies provisions player
pack, that will really hurt the grind
and kind of make it no longer unlimited
repeatable. That pack is like key to
making it unlimited repeatable. So, I
hope it just refreshes this week. I
would expect that it would, but you
never know with the esports. So, we will
have to see. All right, last 85 by 10
and I'm out. We do get a footy. So, the
the dream of a 99 still exists here for
this pack. It's going to be Troy Parrot,
who I believe just moved to La Liga and
then an AC Milan player. Who is Oh,
Dwinter.
Dwinter Leo. Not in this promo. Next
promo for him. Anyway guys, that's the
video for me. If you did enjoy it, drop
a thumbs up on it. Comment down below if
you have any questions and subscribe if
you're new. And I will see you in a
stream today. It's been Nate for the
count. See you there. Peace
