Video summary

The latest update to FIFA Ultimate Team marks another exciting milestone in the FUTTIES campaign, as players are poised to receive their fifth PlayStyle Plus evolution soon. While four upgrades were previously considered the standard limit for customizable cards, leaks and official hints suggest that a new consumable will allow specific Footies cards to reach this maximum potential of five evolutions. This development is expected to arrive today via Special Battle Challenges (SBCs) or weekly objectives, potentially mirroring how previous limited-time rewards like Glory Hunters functioned during the World Cup promo. The arrival of these fifth-level upgrades adds significant hype and could drastically alter the market value for high-rated cards that are currently scarce in packs. Today's content drop brings a massive influx of new material, headlined by Team Three featuring seven 99-rated players including Zidane, Beckenbauer, and Olise, alongside re-released Best Of cards from previous seasons. Alongside these premium additions, the game introduces several quality-of-life improvements to its SBC system; notably, Footies-specific card types can now be used in challenges that previously required Team of the Week or Festival Football players. This change is particularly beneficial for clearing storage space and completing difficult objectives without needing to hunt down specific seasonal cards. Additionally, a new daily tournament called "Only Bangers" will launch today, challenging players to score goals from outside the box, while existing limited-time events like Third Time Lucky are set to conclude. The economic implications of these updates are already sparking discussion within the community regarding pack grinding and market dynamics. A newly introduced SBC allows for an unlimited repeatable grind by converting lower-rated gold cards into valuable 80+ player picks and rare items, effectively creating a loop where players can farm packs indefinitely until they hit daily limits or face potential bans from excessive repetition. However, there is uncertainty regarding whether the fifth PlayStyle Plus upgrade will be available as a single consumable for one specific card type or if it applies broadly to multiple Footies cards. If only one version of this evolution becomes available, it could dampen market excitement compared to scenarios where many players can achieve five evolutions simultaneously, which would likely cause prices on expensive 99-rated cards like Cucurella and James to drop significantly due to increased supply. As the campaign moves into its final weeks with Team Three entering packs today, the focus remains heavily on Evolution chains rather than SBCs for most dedicated players. While some high-value Evos typically released on Fridays are missing from current leaks, the potential for creating multiple five-PlayStyle Plus cards is seen as a game-changer that could stabilize or lower prices in the transfer market. Players are encouraged to utilize their tokens before they expire today to secure new rewards and consider picking up undervalued Team Two players like Kimmich or James while prices are still reasonable, anticipating potential spikes if multiple high-level evolutions become accessible later this week. With a fresh team release, updated objectives, and the possibility of breaking previous upgrade limits, today represents one of the most significant content days for FUTTIES enthusiasts yet.

Hey guys, it's Nate, aka the Foot Accountant. Welcome back to the channel. At the beginning of Footies 3 weeks ago, we learned that four PlayStyle Pluses was the standard for all the customizable Footies cards in terms of how much we can upgrade them in the PlayStyles lab. But, what EA promised is that fifth PlayStyle Plus upgrades would be happening towards the end of the campaign. Well, we're technically halfway through Footies as of today. The leaks are telling us, however, we are getting five PlayStyle Plus evolutions soon, maybe as soon as today. We're going to talk about that because I'm not sure how many of the Footies cards we're going to be able to take to five PlayStyle Pluses, and it might be through an SBC or an objective that we're even able to do that. We're going to talk about everything related to the third week of Footies starting today. And of course, guys, it is a promo Friday, which means we've got a new team of cards in packs. We've got a new best of release that is expected to drop today as well with more re-released cards coming into packs, new SBCs for Footies players, new token store rewards, new Evos, new objectives, and a new long shot only live event mode. We've got to get ready for all of that today, guys. Biggest content day of the week. If you're excited for it, drop a thumbs up on the video, hype the video, and subscribe if you are new. Now, we've got to start by looking over yesterday's content, which of course was headlined by the new exchange SBCs and the pack grind that is now followed that. We're going to take a look at that, but first, here in objectives, we have the new Cruyff card, which is the fifth and final Future World Tour objective in the Lampard Completionist set. If you've already got Lampard, you don't have to worry about doing this one unless you want the tokens, you want the packs, and the SP, and the Cruyff card himself. There is 2,500 SP inside of this. It does take you 10 matches to get this one done at the very least, so it's not bad, but it is a place to get some SP. Also, the weekly and daily objectives refreshed and we have the weekly rush points refreshing as well for 100 footies tokens. Once again, make sure you get to level 30 in the next 6 days because next Thursday a new season comes out and you'll want to hit level 30 by then. In evolutions yesterday, we had a very nice chain Evo. It's finally another Evo that doesn't boost the overall of your card. The highline Evo's repeatable three times. It does cost 30,000 coins, but it doesn't boost the overall of your card. You're getting passing plus four up to 93 and defending plus six up to 97. That's kind of the stat that makes a difference here for a card like my Vieira. Sure he goes up to 92 passing, but he goes up to 97 defending and he doesn't get an overall boost. That's really really good. So, if you find a center back that you're wanting to Evo that still only has like low to mid 90s defending, this is a perfect Evo to put them in because you can still boost their stats up later on as they're a max 96 and a lot of 96 rated cards are fitting Evo's right now, but you're getting that defensive stat boosted up very very high. Like if I wanted to put Freeman into this, that would make a lot of sense to get him up to 96 defense and 93 passing right there. So, that is a very nice Evo. I think it's 30,000 coins cuz it doesn't boost the overall of your card and it does take the defending to 97, but even for 30k, you can make that money really quick even from quick selling tradeable cards you pack with all the special cards they're in packs will continue to be in packs today. I think that is worth doing for some Evo chains there. Let's go to the SBCs though guys and talk about all of the new content that we had in here. We had a Sissoko SBC which is one that I'm definitely completing the FIFA legend himself. We had throwback marquee matchups and the two new SBCs that are making our pack grind technically unlimited repeatable. We have the 87 to 90 upgrade which we can do 10 times per day. It requires an 83 rated squad. That is minorly important. It's nice to have because that helps us craft the most important SBC, the repeatable Footies Provisions upgrade. But you can do this unlimited times, repeatable, even without the 87-90. This Footies Provisions upgrade, aka exchange, requires four cards, 87 rated or higher. I'm turning 87s, 88s, and 89s, even a couple of 90 rateds into this because it gives you 20 gold rares and 10 gold commons back. And this is what makes the pack grind unlimited because you can open this and rinse all those gold commons into the 80+ * 5 and the gold rares into the 84+ player pick. Now, this is basically a glorified Provisions pack, as we knew it was going to be. So, that in that sense, it is a little bit underwhelming. But the thing that actually makes this even better than a Provisions is it gives cards in the pack up to 88 rated. The other Provisions pack that we have seven times a day only gives cards up to 80 rated. That's why doing the repeatable Footies Provisions upgrade, aka exchange, is worth doing, guys, because you get a lot of 82s, 83s, 84s. I've even had a handful of walkouts from opening these packs, and that helps you get other SBCs done so much easier. Let's open one right here, and I'll show you guys how this looks. Most of the time, you're not getting a walkout. Was that actually a walkout? Was the pack animation bugged? Was that Lucy Bronze? That was Benjamin Pavard, 84. So, that's a nice chunk of 82s, 83s, and 84s. I don't hate that for turning in three 87-89 rated players, which are plentiful in this game. So, how do you make this grind unlimited? Well, it's actually not that different of a pack grind than what we were already doing, putting the commons into the 80+ * 5 and putting the rares into 84 plus player pick, but now every 87 to 89 rated card that you pack, special or gold, should be going into this because that's just going to give you the golds that you can keep rinsing into player picks and the 80 plus times fives. The player picks are going to give you all of the 87 to 89 rated that you're going to need to keep these exchanges going. The only problem you're going to run into, and that's why I say this is an unlimited repeatable grind, is the fact that you probably will get SBC banned. That is the problem. It just takes so many repetitions through all these different SBCs to get meaningful packs, if we're being honest, that you could get SBC banned and you know, that's 90 SBCs per hour about and 300 SBCs per day. You can switch versions of the game, go from the console to the web app and stuff like that to help yourself get more SBCs done, but that is the part that is limiting this grind. And a lot of people as well are validly saying that this pack grind here, which once again Kim Expert on Twitter has made a great grind just to kind of look at from top to bottom if you want to look at maybe how you're going to get some of the other like 85 by 10s done and 84 by 10s done, you can absolutely take a look at this tweet here and get that done. But, the pack weight is the other big problem with this. I was crazy lucky yesterday from an 84 by 10 I hit my first 99. Guys, I've done every single upgrade pack since FUTTIES came out for the last two weeks and I haven't even sniffed a 98 and a few 97s. Yesterday from one random lone 84 by 10 pack, I packed 99 Florian Wirtz. So, that was sick and maybe that's a little bit of motivation to you with more 99 players coming into packs today than we've seen before in FUTTIES to just at least put a little bit of effort into the grind. Now, one of the biggest things from SBCs yesterday doesn't even have to do with the grind itself. It has to do with how EA updated one of the most difficult parts of SBCs in FUTTIES so far. Guys, now instead of just Team of the Week, Team of the Season, and Festival Football cards, you can turn footies cards into these SBCs that require those special types of cards as well. So, this is super duper nice if you've got a lot of footies in your storage like I do with these 95s and 96s with no really good player SBC to put them into for 88 89 rated squads, enjoy putting footies into these and not having to try to hunt down Team of the Weeks, Team of the Seasons, or Festival Football cards. That is very, very helpful, especially when you don't have to do so many Team of the Week SBCs every day to get your 85 by 10s, your 88 by fives, and stuff like that done. So, that is a very, very nice quality of life change for our SBCs there. One last thing I wanted to talk about with SBCs, 87s, GG's if you picked some up after we talked about them in the video yesterday because they were about 1,000 coins and they have spiked now upwards of 2,000. I would imagine that they would continue to rise into the content drop today because people love an unlimited pack grind. Even if the pack weight is not that crazy, there's 99 rateds in packs and the 84 plus player picks and just the packs in general are very fun because it is the end game and there is a huge amount of players in packs with the best of re-release. So, I do think that the 87s and 88s could rise up. They probably would drop a bit after content because of store supply and tradeable packs being opened. But, that is the SBC grind in a nutshell right there. Let me know in the comments if you're like, "Nah, mate, I can't be asked to do it." or if you're like, "You know what? With the new team coming out today and with it being the summer and the footies grind, I am actually going to put a little bit effort to it and see how many of these cards I can pack." Let me know in the comments how you feel about that. But, maybe there's players from Team Three today that interest you more than what's in packs right now. Well, we're going to have this exchange grind out for the whole entire next week and beyond that, and we got to take a look at Team Three that is coming today. I mentioned it's got the most 99 rated cards of any Footies team yet and that is the truth. We have seven 99 rated cards coming today for Footies team three. These are official stats for all the cards coming out today. We've got 99's Zidane, Quijarro, Olise, Marquinhos, Cruyff, Cherki, and Beckenbauer coming into packs today. Of course, the icons and the heroes already have the playstyles and playstyle pluses applied to them. Cherki's card, Olise's card both look unfreaking believable. 99 pace and dribble for Olise, 99 passing and dribble for Cherki with 97 pace and shooting. Olise has 97 shooting and 98 passing. You know those cards are going to be super difficult to pack and super expensive, but they look crazy. Beckenbauer looks like maybe the best center back in the game as well if he is lengthy. 95 dribble, 99 defense and physical with 95 pace. Zidane looks pretty nuts. Thuram looks great. Like this is a nice team. Is it the craziest team ever? No, because you know, as we go through weeks three and week four of this Footies promo, it's kind of like we've seen the same thing already twice with the Footies team one and two. Yeah, there's some 99 rated that look sick, some 98's that look pretty sick as well, but are we really going to have a chance to pack them? It doesn't feel like it. So, that's always the downer part when I'm looking at these cards like, "Oh, I would love to try Saliba. I would love to try Lauren Hemp or maybe even De Rossi." De Rossi's a 98, he might be packable, right? Probably not. So, that's the problem. Of course, there are some FIFA legends in here. We've got Kenny Lala, we've got Olivier Giroud. Now, that looks like a fun card. 97 pace, 99 shooting, 97 dribble, 97 physical, Olivier Giroud. That's a card that I would have some interest in just to try. Imagine running him up top with the overpowered Sorloth that people have been running, the Crouch whose objective expires today, make sure you get that done. I believe it expires today at least. That looks like a really fun card. You've got Musonda here, Amrabat, you've got Links, Ter Stegen, Caragher down the bottom, Aouar, Balde, and a bunch of other cards that are going to be super, super common and easy to pack. But, the interesting thing with this team today is this leak came out yesterday right around the same time the official stats for team three were leaked. Five PlayStyle Plus Evolution is coming via SBC/objective during FUTTIES week three. Now, this is something that we knew was coming because on EA's website, they told us to keep an eye out for a fifth PlayStyle Plus Evolution consumables towards the end of the campaign. So, I thought, okay, this is a four-week promo of FUTTIES. Towards the end of the campaign, it's probably the fourth week. Well, if this is being leaked yesterday before a new week of FUTTIES starting today, I got to think that this is happening today, guys. And that adds a bit of extra hype for me for these FUTTIES cards. If I'm going to be able to take them to five PlayStyle Pluses, that's pretty sick. Now, the way we think this is going to work, if the five PlayStyle Plus Evolution consumables are going to be in SBCs/objectives, it feels exactly like how Glory Hunters worked during the World Cup. So, in the PlayStyles Lab, you can go up to four PlayStyle Pluses, but for the Glory Hunters card back then, we could only do three PlayStyle Pluses there, and we had to go to our rewards tab, which I still have a bunch of these Evos that I haven't used, and honestly, they're very annoying because they're in the way, and every time I want to go to the bottom of my rewards Evos, they're in the way. But, we had these Glory Hunter fourth PlayStyle Plus Evos to add that extra fourth PlayStyle Plus to those cards. That's how I would imagine the five PlayStyle Plus FUTTIES Evos would work. You are able to put them on through rewards after you get them done through an SBC or an objective. However, this is my last question, and it might be the biggest and most important part of this. Notice, he says five PlayStyle Plus Evolution. There's no S on the end, making it plural. On the website, keep an eye out for a fifth place style plus evolution consumable. Is this only going to be one Footies card that we can take up to five play style pluses? I mean, I guess I was kind of assuming it would be similar to glory hunters where they would, you know, periodically let us get, oh, there's a fourth play style plus we can add or a fifth one, sorry. There's a fifth play style plus we can add and we can actually like start to piece together a few players in our team with five play style pluses. If it's only going to be one SBC and one consumable to take one Footies card this week up to five play style pluses, that is going to be a little bit of a buzzkill. And that's kind of how it feels right now. I hope I'm wrong with that, but that is the one thing I'm wondering ahead of today. How many Footies are we actually going to be able to take to five play style pluses? If we're able to take multiple cards to that rating, I think a lot of the five play style pluses on the market, those players like 99 rated that have been skying in price, this Cucurella used to be 500k. Now he's 1 million coins. I think a lot of the market on these expensive cards would drop because more five play style plus cards would be available and would be out there, but really that's not going to be decided until we see how many of these five PS plus cards we can make today. Now, I want to talk about things happening in terms of packs a little bit before we talk about SBCs and other content coming today. There was 52 packs added to the code yesterday an hour before the content drop. One of those packs was a 99 Footies player pack. Now, don't think that this is coming today because when you look through the rest of the pack code that was added, it almost looks like EA just said, here's almost all the rest of the packs for the rest of the game. We've got preseason packs in here, which is the name of the next season. We've got Footies team four and best of re-release batch four packs added in. Of course, that's the next week of the final week of Footies that still hasn't come out yet. So, I don't think we're going to get a 99 Footies player pack today, but just know that it is happening. It is in the code. I think we had one of these last year and it was at like the end of August. So, that's just kind of something to remember. But, what I really wanted to point out from the pack code is it looks like what's happening in the token store today is just a copy pasta of what it's been for the first 2 weeks. We've got a four of eight tradable Footies pick from team three. We've got a two of six untradable from week three of Footies as well. I'm actually saving my Footies tokens for today just because I find the most fun now on a Friday when the weekly limit resets and we get new rewards in here to come into the Footies store, check the new rewards, especially the Evos that are going to be coming out. And by the way, guys, make sure you double-check. If you want Sorloth, if you want some of the Evos that are in here, spend your tokens before content cuz they will expire. But, what I'm looking forward to doing today is maybe hitting like an 88 by 25. I think that's in here, right? 88 by 25 tradable. Or, yeah, right there, the 88 25 tradable for the new best of release, the new Footies cards, or maybe even a tradable Footies team two player pick. That just sounds fun to maybe try to make some coins from the cards that will be in this right away at the content drop today because it'll change over to team three. But, just again, be reminded that the weekly limit refreshes and we'll be able to go after more tokens. But, it looks like most of the rewards in the token store are going to be the same. And here are three of our players that are going to be in the token store as well. Official stats, we've already looked at these earlier in the week. But, uh it is the Unc trio, Isco, Müller, and Benzema, all with 93 pace and below, who will be in the token store today. So, those are the official players that are coming there. But, let's keep moving and talk about our SBC player. And I don't really love the player selection here, guys, for our Footies SBC player. Obviously, all the conversations that we had yesterday about SBCs just completely revolutionizes the way we feel about SBCs. Like, right now everything in this section of the game besides the exchange grind just seems to be a bit more annoying to me because I think about just knowing the fact that EA's been nerfing these all year and that was their way and their decision to try to level the playing field because of the third-party party tools that are available. I look at an Al Owairan card with four PlayStyle Plus's and I think we've all got one of these in our club from the World Tour objective that was just not that long ago. Sure, that one only had 93 pass pace or sorry, passing, uh shooting, and dribbling. This one's got 97 shooting, 95 pass, and 96 dribble. But also, I'm like, I somebody different? Like this dude got a card a month ago, maybe like 7 weeks ago, and we're getting another version of him now. I think there's a better player selection that could have been made here. I mean, 99 pace, 97 shooting, 96 dribbling, that is pretty crazy. I don't remember if his other card was lengthy or not. I don't know if he's tall enough. This could be a really crazy card and it could be pretty cheap, but that one to me is not super interesting. I mean, you took Last week we took a look at some of the cards that had Footies SBCs in the past. We had like the Neymars and we had the Ferland Mendys and the Kantés and stuff like that. Like those are the sort of player SBCs that we want to see right now. Like if they dropped a Neymar Footies, I mean, oh my goodness. I know everybody's got Evos of Neymar, but that would still be freaking sick if we could take him to four or five PlayStyle Plus's, people would be all over that. Anyways, there's more content and SBCs today than just that Al Owairan. The daily login ends, the 86 plus player pick ends, 85 plus times two goes away, which if we get a better and less rare requirement version of this pack today, it might challenge the 84 plus player pick. We'll have to see. But most importantly, the player pick that I've been doing non-stop this week, the 94 plus Festival Footballer Footies Team One pick, goes away today, too. And I would imagine something's going to replace this. I would also imagine they're going to add Team Two of Footies in this. But this is going to be your place to unlimited repeatable chase 99 and 98 rated from footies and then of course those World Cup winner Spanish summer tournament winners cards as well. So watch out. Hopefully this is a one of four that comes today. 94 maybe even they go up to 95 plus that would be nice as well, but that's a player pick that we'll be watching for as a part of SBC content today. So all of that should be dropping in SBCs today. We have a couple other of names leaked for SBCs that could be coming in the future. We've got a Rudiger SBC. I think these are official stats. 98 physical, 97 defending, little low on the pass and dribble, but decent on the pace and it's Rudiger. You've got a Marcos Llorente with 99 pace and only 96 rated because he needs an Evo or two. And just on the topic of the five play style pluses, look at the response to this tweet here. ASY says Well, he responds to a guy who says my Evo is better who has, you know, yeah, better stats statistically than the leaked Rudiger, but ASY says no, this Rudiger can get five play style pluses. Obviously talking about this one. So that's really the question that I think matters so much for today's team and packs and even for the old footies cards. Guys, I even bought some footies from team two because I'm thinking that these are going to go up. I picked up a couple Kimmich and a couple Payor at decent prices. I mean, if we can put multiple five play style plus additions to footies cards, that's going to make players from team one and team two potentially go up even more in value. I mean, team one cards. I know, who cares about the market at this stage game, but guys, Ekitike was 270,000 coins on Thursday and he's 500k. I mean, come on. If you're wanting to use anybody from team two, I think we do I think we do got to get involved here. I think we got to pick up a Vertz for 1.45. I think we got to pick up a James for like 250k. Kimmich and Gabriel are kind of already up so much, so that's what I'm thinking there with those cards. If you do want to pick one of them up. The Footies Icons and Heroes, I don't love it because they're five-play style pluses and they're less unique, or some of them are, after this new five-play style plus addition comes for the Footies cards. So, that's my quick little thoughts on the market there. Now, for the rest of content today, we have no Evo leaks at the moment, which is a little bit weird. Most of the Evos we've been getting on Fridays are max 96. Um they do cost a good bit of coins, but they take us up usually to 97 or maybe if we're lucky, a 98-rated card, but probably just 97. So, we will have to see what comes today, but usually Fridays bring us our most expensive Evos, one expensive and one free. And also, guys, we already talked about the token store. We do have a new game mode coming out today. So, if you do want to finish the uh Footies Flash tournament or the Third Time Lucky. The Third Time Lucky is going away today, and the Is the tournament as well? Yeah, the tournament's going away as well. Today, we're getting a Only Bangers tournament. Join in on this daily tournament and do your best to score from outside the box. Daily tournament refreshing, 12 entries every single day. No idea what the objectives are going to be for this, but if I had to guess, maybe somebody with Power Shot plus. If you have the Power Shot plus Lampard, that might be a helpful item to use in that tournament, as he has Power Shot plus and 99 shooting. So, that's basically all the content that we're looking out for today. The question marks for me lie within, can we make multiple five-play style plus cards, how expensive is that five-play style plus SBC or objective Evo going to be for the Footies cards, and what other Evo content do we get today? Because let's be honest, Evos have been creating the best cards through this promo, not the SBCs that we can actually go and do. But, I am motivated to grind this unlimited pack run a little bit, and yes, use some of those tools to help things get done easier and quicker. Um I'm in Being fully transparent, I tweeted about that yesterday. With the new SBC changes, it's kind of like, if you haven't dabbled in any of those tools, EA has not been banning people for any of those. I haven't been outspoken against those or I have been outspoken against those and I haven't been outspoken saying that I've been using them, but I've kind of switched up just because of the way that EA have kind of come out and honestly made us feel really hurt about the whole SBC situation. It just does not make us feel good. So, EVOs are my main focus for today. What good EVO can we get? And then the SBC grind is a focus, but it's like that Halloween run for me, no thanks. Um if anything else comes out in there, maybe I'll interested, but it's the 94 plus player picks to try to pack 99s uh that interest me the most and that's where all of my fodder is going. So, let's see what another FUT promo Friday brings us today, guys. We will be doing giveaways once again today in the YouTube chat. So, make sure you come by the stream. We'll be live an hour before content. We'll get into all the new content stuff today, have a blast for our Friday night. Probably not play too much gameplay, but uh rip a bunch of packs. All right, guys. Thanks for watching the video today. Have a great Friday and I'll see you in the stream today. It's been nice to have you account. See you there. Peace out.
