Video summary
The video focuses on the final promotional weekend leading up to the release of FC 27, specifically analyzing the pre-season promo and its potential rewards for players still in FC 26. The host discusses the ongoing Season Pass progression, noting that while a recent seasonal objective provided a significant boost of 3,000 SP, there is also an easy-to-complete Cristiano Ronaldo Manager Live event available to help players reach Level 30. Although the host is not overly concerned about hitting the level cap due to expected future SP releases, he advises viewers to complete current objectives early to avoid rushing for resources right before the new game launches. Additionally, cosmetic evolutions from the Ultimate Rewind promo are expiring today, prompting a reminder for players to apply retro designs like the Footies 20 birthday kit to their cards before they disappear.
In terms of Special Team (SBC) content and pack releases, there is some uncertainty regarding which specific 99-rated icons will be re-released in packs during this "Best of Batch One" event. While leakers suggest that players like Maradona, Messi, and Modric are confirmed for the drop, others such as Bale and Ronaldo might appear in subsequent weeks. The host also addresses the absence of World Cup promo cards like Glory Hunters or Path to Glorys in the current pack rotation, expressing disappointment but acknowledging that the return of Footies 99s is still a positive development. He highlights specific SBCs that may drop today, including potential upgrades for players like Lamine Yamal and Pedri, while cautioning that high-cost evolutions involving expensive players like Lamela might not be worth the investment given their market value.
The transcript concludes with details on upcoming live events and carryover rewards that could bridge the gap between FC 26 and FC 27. A new "Preseason Final Whistle" first-to-three matches mode is launching, offering Footies tokens as a reward for winning games in specific formations like the 4-2-3-1. Furthermore, a third objective related to Odendi is expected to unlock, which will contribute toward earning the ultimate FC 27 rewards of 20,000 coins and an 83+ tradable player pick. The host also mentions the possibility of additional in-game voting events for the "Destined for Glory" promo and hopes that pack luck improves today, allowing players to finally collect some of the highly sought-after 99-rated cards that have been held back for weeks.

Hey guys, this is Nate aka the foot
accountant. Welcome back to the channel.
We are so close yet we are still so far
from FC27. However, today we truly begin
the endgame, the bridge to the new game,
if you will, from FC26 to FC 27 with the
pre-season promo. Of course, we've
already been inside of season 10
preseason that has given us FC27 rewards
for playing in FC26, but that's what I'm
most curious about today. Are they going
to give us more evolution or SBC content
that might give us packs, coins, or even
evos in FC27? We're going to talk about
that. But of course, we're also
expecting 99 rated players like Lem
Yamal and SBC's. Maybe a 99 rated
evolution and more 99 rated cards
returning back to packs. This is not a
promo that gives us new players. It is
footies 99 that are coming back, but
there's some certain cards we thought
were going to come back into packs that
actually aren't. Let's talk about that.
and the SP that we have to help us level
up towards level 30 to get FC27 packs in
this game. Let's talk about it. If
you're excited for it, drop a thumbs up
on the video, hyped the video, and
subscribe if you are new. We're going to
cover that SP that dropped yesterday
first as a part of our Thursday content
inside the seasonal tab here. daily and
the weekly objectives refreshed, which
were nice, but a seasonal objective
giving 3,000 total SP was the best part
of objective content yesterday cuz that
is a huge boost in the season pass.
Also, of course, the manager and manager
live objectives refreshed, which
actually I heard about this yesterday. I
guess there is a Cristiano Ronaldo
manager live objective or Ronaldo
manager live objective. I don't know if
it's Cristiano Ronaldo or R9 Ronaldo.
whichever one that it is, that is the
very easy objective to complete or live
event to complete inside of manager live
objectives to get the SP. It's like
repeatable a bunch of times and you can
get the SP from inside of here done
super duper easy. Like that's looks
that's looking like somewhere around
2,000 SP or 1500 SP at least. Not doing
the quick math, but that's a decent
chunk of SP right there. And I think
that's one easy way to get it done. So
try the Ronaldo objective in the manager
live section to get that SP. Now, I'm
not worried about getting level 30. We
were talking about this in the stream
yesterday as well. I'm only level 9
right now. I'm actually going to be gone
for next week as well for kind of a
break before the new game comes out. I'm
not that worried about getting level 30
because I would imagine EA is still
going to release a good bit of SP in the
next couple of weeks before the game
comes out, but it probably would be a
smart idea to at least put a little bit
of effort into finishing some of these
objectives, which I need to do, and then
also just getting a little bit of SP so
that you don't have to try to get as
much SP as you can at the very end
before FC27 comes out. Now, there was no
new EVO content yesterday, but I want to
point your attention to the cosmetics
tab because all of the cool cosmetic
evos that we got last week are expiring
today. Those were the 16 time repeatable
retro and old Thunder Struck, Scream,
Unbreakable, and other card design Evos
that we had dropped last Friday for the
Ultimate Rewind promo. I went through
and just put the FE the foot 20 uh
birthday retro design on a whole bunch
of cards. I only got three left in
there. So, make sure you go through
those today before content if you want
to spice up the way your cards look. And
the rest of yesterday's content was in
SBC's. We have the Enciso unbreakables
player SBC and we have marquee matchups.
There really wasn't anything refreshing
yesterday in SBC's that was very big.
There's more stuff that is going to be
happening today. It was a pretty quiet
day of content if we're being completely
honest. I was ripping 85 by10s. And
guys, I will say I did hit a 99
yesterday from the one of four footies
player pick that is unlimited
repeatable. I finally hit one. I got 99
iniesta. Would I say that they're like
super worth doing? I wouldn't say that.
Like I was I was flipping back and forth
between the footies picks and then also
the 95 plus picks because those give you
the potential for packing the Spain
World Cup winner cards as well. Go back
and forth between those, find which one
you think you have the best luck in. But
maybe the footies pick are kind of
starting to get above the 95 plus picks
in my mind as the best ones to do. Um,
as I've heard of more people getting
footies 99s and even footies 99 icons
from those. So that's just maybe a place
to put your fodder as you're crafting
85x10s.
And that upgrade pack grind is not
changing today. It should be the exact
same with hopefully a couple of new
SBC's to craft. Now, let's just get into
the conversation and talk about what is
dropping today. Because actually, guys,
the leakers can't really agree on what
cards are coming into packs. Of course,
this is the pre-season promo that we're
expecting today. It is the endgame promo
that we get almost every year. We talked
about this in the last couple of videos
that we've done here on the channel
related to FC26. But we have some news
on the best batch one cards that are
going to be released in packs or I
should say re-released in packs for
preseason. Now this is batch one. So
they're going to be probably cycling
through the footies cards that have
already come out and they're going to be
putting more 99s in until maybe we have
all the footies 99s and maybe even some
other 99 rated cards re-released in
packs as well in the next couple of
weeks. But the thing the leakers aren't
agreeing about is what 99 rated icons
are going to be in packs because asy
foot trader put out this post yesterday
showing Maradona Dino Enri Marcelo Ham
Modric Vert and VVD and Pina being 99
rated footies cards that are going to be
in the best of batch coming today. But
if you remember a couple days ago we
also saw that Bale Cro and R9 were
supposed to be in this re-release batch.
But if you look at the comments on this
tweet, it doesn't look like R9 is going
to be in this week. Looks like he's
going to be in the next week. Um, of
course, there's a huge number of players
that are going to be in this, and I
guess the leakers are not going to post
it unless there's enough people that
like this tweet. So, that's their
decision there. But, one of the other
big questions that we were getting in
relation to this promo is, are we going
to get some of those World Cup promo
cards back into pack? Sure, it is nice
to have the chance to pack Henri Dino
Meerona again. I don't know about this
Marcelo situation here. Marcelo was just
dropped as an SBC. So, if you did the
SBC and then you end up packing him as a
99, do you feel a little bit hard done
by that? I find that is an interesting
situation right there because I haven't
completed Marcelo yet and I maybe won't
because he's going to be in packs, but
we thought that some of the Festival of
Football cards were going to start being
released in packs as well. And down
here, uh, it was mentioned that Festival
of Football cards, yeah, no glory
hunters or PTGs are going to be
re-released. And there was a thought
that we were going to get some of those
cards because this guy here says, "Any
Saka special?" And I think the original
reply to this tweet from ASY said, "Yes,
Saka is going to have a card that's in
packs." He said, "I thought you meant
Sawa." No, Saka. So, it doesn't look
like we are getting glory hunters, path
to glories, or any of those other summer
stars or phenoms cards from the World
Cup yet re-released, which is really
interesting. I know it's not the most
important thing for us to get these
cards re-released in packs, but I mean,
there's 99s that are PTGs, the Rodri
card, right? There's Summer Stars cards
that have really nice ratings, sweet
dynamics, and national team images as
well. So, I think it's just kind of this
next step of the endgame re-releases of
cards and packs that we were looking for
uh with those cards being re-released.
But, at the very least, it is good to
see footies and 99s coming back into
packs because that gives us the
opportunity to pack some of those cards
that we still have not gotten yet. Now,
if you're like Nate, none of these 99s
are the ones that I'm really chasing.
Like for me, I really want Harry Kane or
Gareth Bale, and neither of those two
are in this batch one re-release. Well,
that's why it's batch one. We're
probably going to have three weeks of
this promo leading us straight into FC27
and they'll be putting in more players
every single week into packs. I'm really
curious to see how many players we do
have because what do we have right now?
EA said like 500 total special cards in
packs. I wonder if it's actually going
to go down with this best of batch one.
We'll have to see what they say. But of
course, what are we crafting? What
SBC's, what 99s are we going to be
chasing after and crafting with the
upgrade pack grind as we are opening a
few packs and especially transfer SBCs.
That's one of the marquee points to this
promo. Now, of course, we've got an
Elliot Anderson, Laqua, Tonali now, and
Diamande that have been leaked. I don't
think these are all official stats
because there's no shot that Diamande is
going to have four 99 rated stats on a
card. I mean, that'd be sick if he did,
but I'm going to say that's probably not
going to happen. If I had to guess, I
think we would get two player SBC's
today. One of them being Yande, the
other one being Lemaul or Pedri. I think
we would get a 99 transfer SBC and then
a 99 other SBC as well from a summer
stars. Or maybe it's the Beckenbower uh
footies icon card. So, just keep an eye
out for those two SBCs today. Again,
Laminaul, who's 2.8 mil on the market
right now, is not going to be a cheap
SBC. We were guessing maybe in the
middle 20, maybe even 30 squads range
for a card like this Lammen at this
stage of the game. Does that feel like
too much and a lot? I wouldn't say no. I
would probably say yes to that. Um, and
I probably wouldn't do it as well. We'll
see. It just depends on if you want to
put that grind into the game or not. But
that's part of content that I'm
interested in today. The other part that
I'm interested in is the 98 plus SBC,
the 98 plus player pick. Our favorite
SBC from this whole entire week of
content is going to be refreshing one
last time. The SBC itself expires
tomorrow on Saturday. I wonder if EA
will bring this back out. If they bring
this out on limited repeatable, we would
be cooking. I don't know if they do that
yet, but maybe they'd let us do it like
every day instead of one time every two
days. But that's a big part of SBC
content to do that could be today that
could be refreshing. Other than that, if
I just sort by what is expiring today,
uh we've got DOKU who's expiring, a
couple of player picks that are
expiring, the 95 plus footies, the three
of 20 SBC rewind. I did it once, I never
did it again. I think it's because it
was three squads and I already had a lot
of the SBC players that were in this. So
maybe they'll bring back some other sort
of fun player pick. You know, in the
endame period like this, it is fun to
have a player pick that lets you see
like 10, 15, 20 choices, whether it's
SBC's or not. Any like five of 20 or
even if it's like a two of 15 player
pick, if it's going to give you decent
cards, it's just fun to open up a pick
and see a whole bunch of special cards
in one. I hope we get some other fun
picks like that as a part of SBC content
today. Now, evolutions wise, I'm still
waiting for an EVO that gives us a 99
stat from this part of the game. Now, I
know there's other evos that give us a
99 overall and 99 stats inside of the
season pass, but I'm talking like, let
me pay 50K for an EVO that is good
enough to give me a 99 stat or two on
the card and a 99 overall rating, right?
That's kind of the EVO that I'm looking
forward to right now. I would love to
see that. I hope that it is going to be
today. They've given us 98 rated card
boosts inside of Evos for so long. How
much would it be? Maybe 100K, 150,000
coins, which if you're opening any
tradeable packs right now from any of
the SBC's that have multiple segments
that give you some tradable packs back,
I mean, you're going to be able to get
those coins super easy because you're
getting jumbo gold packs, premium mixed
players packs from SPCs like player
picks you're doing. You just quick sell
the special cards and you will easily
have the coins there. But we're still
waiting for that 99 rated boost for
evolutions. We might get it today. Now,
in objectives, we got to talk about the
content that is coming here cuz this
does relate to FC27 rewards that we can
earn right now in FC26. Like I said, I'm
kind of behind. The Katarina Mario was
last week's objective. Don't worry, it's
still out for 20 days, but we're getting
a third footies objective today, and
that is for Odendi. he unlocks, which
will allow us to complete that objective
and get three weeks out of the four that
we need done to get the ultimate FC27
rewards of 20,000 coins, the 83 plus
tradable player pick. Of course, you're
earning 10,000 coins and another 81* 3
pack in FC27
already as you're doing these individual
objectives. So, that's kind of what
we're chasing today. Week three with
that Ultimate card. he will be a part of
content there. And then of course,
speaking of content, today we're going
to have a new live event. It was been
it's been teased, right? We talked about
this earlier in the week. The preseason
final whistle is a first to three short
matches mode. We'll have to see. Looks
like a one of four footies player pick
is one of the rewards inside of here.
It's now loading in the game. Uh
preseason tokens. You have to win
matches using a specific formation. The
4231. You got more footies tokens. A
whole lot of footies. Yo, is EA finally
giving us preseason tokens? Sorry, I
said footies tokens. My bad. I mean 50,
100, 145. I mean, that's 180. That's
210. An 88 x 5, a 90 by 5, that's 240.
That's 270. That is 300 preseason tokens
from finishing this objective group,
which it looks like you do have to win a
few games, but not a ton. I mean, 30
attempts in a first to three game mode,
that's a lot of tokens. Cool. if there's
some other good rewards like maybe a
bonus objective to go alongside of that.
That might be an interesting live event
to play. Finally, EA is giving us some
extra boosted tokens there even though
we have the ability to earn 3,000 per
week. Now, speaking of tokens, we will
have a refresh in the token store. We'll
have new rewards inside of here around
the content drop and then of course an
hour after content with the foot champs
token store as well. I do believe we'll
have our reset of items there. So, if
there's anything inside of here that you
are really looking to get that does
expire today, let me double check. Yeah,
Icon swaps, cosmetic evolution, the
Trent Alexander Arnold, the 205 96 plus
footy/Ultimate rewind, any of this stuff
in here, it will go away today that is
below the icons like in that store,
below the Rio, below that stuff. All
that will expire and we'll get new
content there. Last but not least, we
got to talk about the other FC27 rewards
that might be coming today for FC26.
This has not been leaked yet, but what
I'm kind of doing is going based off of
previous years carryover rewards. Now, I
couldn't find an EA web page to show
this, but this website here, FIFA U
team, outlines all of the FC26 rewards
that we could earn in FC25
last year. And notice we have already
had some of the objectives. We've
already known about the season ladder.
So, some of that stuff is already there.
Last year in FC25, we had a road to FC26
evolution that completing it gave you an
81x7 in FC26. And we also had a
pre-season crafting completionist
upgrade pack and objective. And
completing the objective got you an 82x5
in FC26. So, it is the SBC content, the
EVO content, and then maybe a few more
objectives that I'll be watching out for
today to see if we do learn anything
else surrounding carryover rewards for
FC27. So, that is one thing to keep an
eye out for. And I actually think there
might be more of those votes in game as
well. I forget the last message that we
got from EA about um I think it was the
goalkeepers for clean sheets picking the
players that will be in the Destined for
Glory promo at the very beginning of
FC27. I don't know if we're getting more
of those player pick votes today, but
that'd be something to watch as we log
in for content today on Friday. But
really guys, it's check out the 99 SBC's
today. See if we get an evil that boosts
us up like crazy and keep chipping away
at whatever FC27 rewards you're going
for. I that's the thing that motivates
me the most right now is getting those
FC27 rewards and trying to get the best
start that I possibly can in FC27 and
then of course doing a few endgame cards
here. Still rocking the pack grind to
chase the 99s because it is fun. Uh and
maybe the pack wheel will get a little
bit better today as well. I mean that is
definitely not a guarantee and that is I
mean kind of crazy of me to say as I
just packed a whole bunch of special
cards in one pack. But like I'm talking
about the 98s and the 99s that EA have
definitely uh been holding back on that
pack luck for the past couple of weeks
for the last I mean what month now that
a 99 rated cards have been out and in
packs. Hopefully they turn it up just a
little bit today. We can notice the
difference and maybe start packing and
collecting some of these 99 rated cards.
But really that's it for today guys.
We'll just be waiting and seeing what
interesting parts of content we do get.
It is a Friday. Fridays do give us the
most interesting content and the most
content in total. We shall see what EA
have up their sleeve for one of the last
promo Fridays of FC27.
We'll be streaming it live today, so
make sure you come check that out or run
the content drop. We'll see what we get.
See if anything crazy happens and
hopefully try to pack some more 99s. If
you enjoyed this video, drop a thumbs up
on it. Comment down below if you have
any questions and of course subscribe if
you're new. And of course, make sure if
you didn't see it, go check out
yesterday's video about FC27.
I did pack an icon and it's kind of
crazy. I just thought about this. I'm
wearing a Raldo kit and that is who I
packed in that video. Sorry to spoil it,
but uh yeah, a couple of really
interesting FC27 videos that just
dropped. If you want to see what the
menus are going to look like and how the
new systems and features of FC27 are
going to work, we outlined them there.
Anyway, guys, see you on the stream
today. Have a great Friday. It's been
Nathan with accountant. See you there.
He's
