Our FUTTIES Pack Grind, In Jeopardy!?

Hey guys, it's Nate aka the foot accountant. Welcome back to the channel. Evolutions are the best part of footy's content this year. We are consistently creating cards that are just as good if not better than the 98 and 99 rated cards that we struggle to find in our packs. And after three good new EVOs yesterday, or at least two of them from yesterday are pretty good, we have got to talk about EVOs. But our focus today turns to SBC's because one of the crucial parts of our pack grind that we're doing right now goes away today. And allegedly, it is not going to return. That might put our footies pack grind in jeopardy a little today. We're going to discuss that. But not only do we have a pack grind to discuss, we have the return of the best game mode in FC26. That is the gauntlet. It's still at four rounds and there's undoubtedly going to be some good rewards here with hopefully five play style plus footies evolution consumables, maybe a footies icon and 90 and 91 plus packs as a part of what we can earn from the gauntlet this week. Let's talk about everything, guys, as we head into this new week. If you're excited for it, drop a thumbs up on the video, hiked the video, and subscribe if you are new. Let's go over yesterday's Sunday content, which was once again evocentric. We have in the campaign tab of objectives here an evolution and it's a max 98 evolution called passing the test which basically gives you a passing boost up to 98. It's a max 98 evo but it gives you 98 passing. I mean take a look at my Mbappe. What are those stats? 99 pace 99 dribble 98 shooting and the boost up to 99 or 98 sorry passing. Little bit of a defensive and physical boost as well. Gives five star weak foot five star skills. That is a amazing evolution. So many players are going to fit into this and look really good. There goes Eusebio to 98 passing as well with the 95 physical and a little bit of a defensive boost. That is a fantastic evolution. Now it does take a little bit of work to get there. It is a objective Evo. You have to complete three of the four challenges. Three of these challenges by the way. You just have to assist 10 with the through ball and then you have to assist with the player with 88 passing or more. And then in 25 separate matches, you can get this done really easy in 25 matches. If you want to get it done in 20 matches, you have to assist 15 passes with a lobbed through ball. You'll just get this done. I mean, at least three of these four without having to put any extra effort into it. If you do want to get it done in five games, fewer than if you weren't putting any thought into it, you could assist 15 matches with a lob through ball. that might be a little more difficult than just playing like normal and getting the assist and 25, the 10 through balls and the, you know, assist and 20 with an 88 passing plus player, which is in all of our teams right now. So, that is not super duper easy to get, but as you're playing your gauntlet games, you're finishing up foot champs, maybe doing a little bit of rivals or live event this week, you're going to be chipping away at that in the back end. And that is a very good EVO to get without putting a whole lot of effort into things. Now, the second EVO that we had yesterday is maybe the worst of the three. This one's in training camp and it's a five play five play style plus Evo boost here for a footies footies hero of 40s icon, but it's 50,000 coins and it's max 98 overall. I was really confused when I saw this drop yesterday because why are 99s not allowed in this? I've got a left mid 99 rated Florian verz card that would really need pinged plus as a fifth place plus. I'd reorder his play style pluses that he has now to give him the fifth, but he doesn't fit into this. Now, this is still a decent evolution. I mean, some cards in here that are evos that you and I might have do fit into this and they can get that nice fifth place stop plus boost. Maybe you want to put Peter Crouch in and give him the pinged pass plus. But, you know, 50,000 coins, having to wait a day to use that card as well because it is a training camp evo. And the fact that it is max 98, I don't know if I'm a huge fan of that one there. This just feels like EA trying to make a little bit of money off of the fifth place stop boost that we have guys just wait for them to come through the objectives in my opinion or if you do have a lot of coins and you find a card that it does work on for you then I would go and put the 50k evo on your card there. But again like I would gladly put this on flurry inverts. I would take the pinged pass off of his card maybe give him tech plus and then put the ping pass on as the fifth play style plus. But unfortunately, as a 99, he doesn't fit. And that is the most frustrating part for me for that EVO because it just doesn't make any sense. Now, to SBC's we go, where we did have another revolution. But first, before we discuss that, we have a 97 rated footies, Marcus Urente. When this was originally leaked, it was a 96. And with these stats, if he was 96, thumbs up because he would fit a couple of Evos and he'd be very, very good. Now 99 pace is good, 96 physical is good, but 93 dribbling and defending at this stage of the game, just a little behind the curve. I wish he was 96 because again, he would fit into multiple EVOs right now that would make him a really, really insane card and get his defense boosted up, get his dribbling boosted up a little bit as well and his physical even higher than 96. But alas, he is 97 rated. And yes, 270,000 coins as well, which this card, he's a FIFA guy, right? like this is a FIFA guy who's always overpowered in game. One of those cards, especially in the early game, that you look forward to because he has a good bit of pace. He's got the Spanish La Liga links and he's just again a FIFA guy as I've said for the third time now, but this is just a bit too expensive for me for six squads, 270,000 coins. I know FOD is free. You got to want Marcus Urente in my opinion to do that SBC. Now, the other SBC's we had yesterday, we have a fun icon pack, guys. a 94 plus great the game in footies team one and team two icon and hero upgrade that is only one squad does not require a team of the week team of the season festival football or footies card making it even easier to complete and I've got two of these done right away cuz if you're chasing 99 raids this is a very viable pack to put your extra fodder into and I just wanted to try it out for two of these in the video today because I would love to pack a footies zlaton on Ibrahimovic still. That's going to be a Hamshik hero card, which I've got in my dupe storage and definitely in the club. So, that's a dupe. So, that's unfortunate. But with it being only one squad and a 90 rated squad at that, you can easily piece together with the special cards that are in packs, you know, five, 10, maybe even more, 15 to 20 of these per day if you really do want to grind them. This is going to be Bati goal, I'm assuming. Argentinian striker greats of the game. Yeah, Bati goal. So, I go 0 for two there. One footies, one great to of the game. But for 47,000 coins, that is definitely an SBC worth chipping away at a few times this week. If you're chasing 99 rated cards from footies, those would be in those icon packs there. So, a very solid one. Now, the last SBC we had yesterday is an EVO. Striker Instinct EVO for one squad to complete only. This one's 47,000 coins as well. Just a 90 rated squad. This is a good EVO. It is max 96, four play style plus max. But as you see the stat boost here, you obviously notice that this is a very, very good one. Now, I'm going to pick up a couple of specific cards that I've found from my club to show you guys here. Peter Crouch, 98 shooting boost for him here. 95 passing and physical boost, and 96 pace. He keeps the footies hero design as well, which I like because you could give him a fifth place stop plus as you unlock those from objectives. That is a crazy looking card there for Peter Crouch. I would put him in that over the other EVO that we looked at for him uh inside of the training camp evolution for Pink Pass Plus. I think this one is definitely better. The other card I have in my club that looks really interesting through this is Paul Pogba. War shooting boost, dribbling boost, and physical boost for him. 97 rated with those stats. He needs a fifth place stop plus and that is a truly endgame card. So you guys have probably got great cards as well through evolutions that you've been building for a while or even a card like this gakpo that you want to just boost up to 98 shooting in your club. Make sure you check this EVO out because it is 100% worth doing. Most of the time when they drop an EVO in SBC's it is worth doing. So I would 100% recommend getting the Striker Instinct EVO done. Maybe do some research as well when you go on foot bin as the EVOs get added today. I think EA must be behind in giving the uh websites access to these EVOs because like nobody had the new EVOs up on the sites yesterday for like hours and hours. So, I think those will probably populate today. But, you know, as always with EVOs, take a little bit of time, figure out some chains if you want to make some pretty pretty crazy cards because that's the state of EVOs right now. Better than SBC's. Let's do a quick market check. If you're looking at any of these footies team 3 cards, the prices have come down very considerably. Around a million coins from Marinos, who started yesterday in the 1.28 range is his peak price now down to a million. I believe that these cards will fall more. Of course, we do think that these will probably hit their low point on like Wednesday or Thursday. That's pretty normal for the footies cards that are in packs, especially with this week being a pretty big week in terms of leaks and news and a new season coming out on Thursday. I would be a little bit extra careful with buying any cards from footies team 3. So, if you want to buy once the EVO one, like do it. All right, it's the endgame. Go buy the card. Go put the EVOs on it. If you've got the coins, go for it. But if you do want to be a little bit more careful, I do think Wednesday and Thursday will be the safest days to buy those for these TM3 cards. Now for the rest of the market, prices just be going up. Foot's team two cards. Vert is 1.9. Major still 1.2. Gabrielle Ree James Kimage is over 700,000 now. Sane is rising. Undav is rising. A lot of the footies cards just continue to rise because well, they are not in packs anymore and people are still buying them to put them in evos and give them five play style pluses. So that is very nice. It is so easy to make coins right now guys. Whether you're on a low budget and you want to bid on 84s every day for a thousand coins and sell them for 2,000 coins at the content drop or whether you want to bid on like 90 rated Erling Holland who's in packs right now and is probably going to end up being like 10k at some point once he goes back out of packs again or maybe it's bidding on other cards that are out of packs. I'm still looking at players from the 99 rated Spain team because guys they go on crazy low bids. This Pedro Porto yesterday went on bid for 1.4 mil. Bro sells for 1.9. I missed out on a couple of good deals here for Nico Williams because I wasn't paying attention on bid. Anytime I can get this card for 1.2 mil, I'm gonna do it because he sells at 1.4 million coins now. So, I know that it's this late stage of the game and it's like, Nate, who's trading? Well, if you need coins, it is so easy to get on the market and literally just get on bids. Make sure you collect the coins you can collect from objectives. We're getting a lot of those 10,000 coin boost objectives done. And always list up the cards that you pack that you don't think will sell. We probably will have some price range updates today. for some players even like Zlatan, we knew he was going to hit minimum price. This 95 rated card that a lot of us are trying to pack. Bro is minimum price now after yesterday. He could get cheaper today. And even if he goes down to like 50,000 coins and you have him tradable, list him up on the market because he'll probably sell for whatever his minimum price is today since there's so many people that are wanting to EVO his card. Same thing for like Ronaldo that I was just mentioning, the 94 Claudia Pena team of the year. If you pack any of those, people are still buying these as you can see here on the latest sales list. They're getting bought for evolution. So, list them up and you can make some easy coins that way from some of the tradable packs that we get inside of completing other SPCs each and every day. But that brings us to today, guys. On Monday, our footies pack grind might be in jeopardy a little bit. This actually genuinely worries me because of how good this 105 84 plus player pick is that is going away today. And we also have gauntlet, which we'll talk about in a second. But first, the crucial 84 plus pick goes away. This is so good for the upgrade pack grind because it is a one of five. Having five options with all the special cards that are in packs. You guys have opened these picks just as much as me. You are getting a special card almost in every player pick. And if you're not getting a special, you're probably getting an 87 or above, which is so crucial for the repeatable footies provision aka exchange upgrade pack grind. It is this 84 plus pick that keeps giving you the 87 pluses that you can put in to the exchange pack. And with it going away today, it doesn't look like it is getting refreshed because what looks like is happening is an 85 plus one of three player pick is going to be coming out. Now, there's two things. First of all, I still think an 85 plus player pick can give us 87 pluses on average. probably not a guarantee every time, but since it's only a one of three and it's 85 plus moving up in rating, hopefully it still gives a lot of those 87 pluses. But the requirement is the key because the 84 plus pick that we've been doing right now only takes four rares. And that's why I've been saying the 85 plus* 2 upgrade pack that we've had now for the past couple of weeks, that is not worth it because it requires I think it's 10 rares or nine rares. It is not worth doing that 85 time two that we did have. Yeah, it's still here. It is not do worth doing this when this requires so many more rares when the 84 plus pick gives you only one card but a one of five choice and it only takes four rares. If the 85 plus pick today also only requires four rares or maybe if they move it up to five, it still will be the one to do. But that is a huge part of today's grind because if this player pick is replaced by the 85 plus and the 85 plus stinks, that is going to make our motivation and our menu grind worse for sure. So fingers crossed that that will be a good part of content today. I'm just waiting to see what the requirements are. Also, we're getting a four of 10 84 plus pick, which sure that'll be cool. That'll be fun to put some gold comments into, but it's the one that we do unlimited repeatable that matters the most. Maybe get a set of the 84 plus player picks done before content today just so that you have a bunch of those to open and uh maybe some to carry with you even after the SBC goes away just as you can get some high ratings for those and then put those into the repeatable footies provision upgrade. Notice again that this uh exchange pack, the footies provision upgrade that is keeping the grind unlimited repeatable, it does expire on Thursday. So, I wonder if they're going to refresh that at all or if on Thursday/ Friday they are going to bring out the unlimited repeatable 84x10. That's just one of the things this week that makes it kind of a a bigger week. Like first three weeks of footies, it feels like the menus have kind of been on autopilot, right? We've been getting this, which is what we usually get on Monday, this and this and this. But we have a new season coming up on Thursday. We have the 84* 10 that expires on Friday. The exchange pack now expires on Thursday as well. So, it's going to be really interesting to see what changes and what maybe EA kind of let go truly endgame silly season as they've been holding back in SBC's as they said that they have been. But what do they kind of not hold back on anymore as we get to the end of this week? We will have to see. Also, for today's content on Monday, I'm wondering if we get a new doppelgangers SBC because we've getting player SBC's every single day in the last couple of Mondays even. We've had these doppelganger cards and uh the zidon by the way expires today as well if you really wanted to get this great to the game icon zinedine zadon. So that's kind of what we're looking for for SBCs today. It's all about the 85 plus pick. Maybe a couple player SBCs and uh maybe we get a new uh icon as well. Haven't had anything leaked besides uh the Clver card, but we'll just have to see. Now the other big thing for today as we already touched on is the gauntlet guys. And sometimes we get to see the rewards in objectives here that are kind of like posted ahead of time. There's nothing in here showing what the rewards are going to be, but we remember we can imagine what the rewards may be based on what they have been in the past couple of weeks. And especially the first footies gone that we had that was very good. There was 90 plus times five packs, 90 plus time six packs for like the final objectives. Even a 91x6 was even involved in there. Plus, we had Evos and we had a player last time, I think it was Tamori as the objective group reward. I could have that wrong. There was definitely a footies player as the group reward. This Cliver is one of the only cards that we have leaked right now. Of course, the 98 defending once again is not accurate. That is a mistake. But we could have that card or another player as a group reward today as well. Probably some footies tokens involved in that. And then again, as I hope, five play style plus evolution consumables for our footies cards as well. that would be a part of the content drop today. And like I said, guys, I'm looking forward to playing the gauntlet once again because it is unique and it is fun. You're using a different team every time. It allows me to use all these endgame cards that we've been collecting. Whether it's the footies cards, whether it's evolutions that you've been making, I've got so many players that I want to use that I haven't even used yet. Lampart, zero games played with his powers shot plus and five play style pluses. Guess what? He freaking gets into one of my gauntlet sides. You know what I'm saying? I've got this Ericson who is in my main team. this Hullet who's in the main team. I've got so many cards that I want to use that I haven't used too much and this gauntlet is going to give me an opportunity to do that. So, if the rewards are good like they have been, it should be another fun way to play the game during the week this week. Still, I would say it is the best game mode that we have got this year in FC 26 on a recoccurring basis. I'm even playing that ahead of Foot Champs right now. Foot Champs, whatever. The tokens not for me. I don't think the rewards are worth it, worth my time. don't want to sweat, just want to play the live events and chill out. Now, the last part of content today on Monday that we would be expecting is of course a new evolution. And uh maybe a freeo today could also be a new paid evolution. We'll have to see, but really don't know what they could be dropping in here because we had really expensive EVOs on the weekend. The 250k landlord and we had the fullback force at 175. That's the one that Marcus Urente could have fit. And man oh man, if he would have fit that, he would have been a sick card. But unfortunately, he was too high rated. So, I do expect that we will get a new evolution today. And the last thing that I think we're going to get into today, guys, um is leaks. We already had some leaks, and I've said it a couple times in the video, but this is a very interesting week for this game. Heading into the final week of footies and also a new season, we're going to learn stuff about FC27 and the packs that we can earn for playing FC26 in FC27. Now, first of all, we have our first footies team for leak, and it is R9. And Foot Police is even in the comments down here explaining a few players that he said are going to be added to this team as well. He's got some Barca past and present. He's got some Manchester City players. He's got some Man United players, a Liverpool player. So, he knows the team. Bro is probably going to be leaking today. And R9's not a bad start. I mean, right now we have Zidon and Cro and Beckabau as 99 rated icons. We've had some good ones, but like not an R9 level. So maybe that'll be a nice card there. I just started evoing the future stars um icon swaps R9 from earlier on in the year. Actually, that's another good thing to mention. Why did EA not drop icon swaps after the middle of the year where that cooked? Like they should have done it again during team of the season. They should have definitely done it again after the World Cup, like now during footies. Why did they not do that after they did it once? Because that was that was sick. We we enjoyed Icon swaps returning this year. EA, what are you doing? Anyways, I would expect more leagues for footies team 4 today and then also we had some new leagues for the new season coming on Thursday. We're going to be talking about this a lot more later on this week, but we've got a season pass evolution that is max 98 rated and it gives 99 stat upgrades. This is probably going to be towards the end of the season pass. And we have our first official stats for cards that are going to be in the season pass as well. Amy, Barcelona and Vieira with five play style pluses, two 99 stats and a 98 stat as well. Bruiser, intercept, anticipate, incisive and technical war card. That is I'll stick with my EVO center back gear though. So, watch out for more leaks related to that today because I do believe we will be getting some more. And I will catch you guys for a Monday content stream. We're back on the stream today. I'm chasing the 99 rated. I'm doing the icon packs. I'm doing the 95 plus player picks. I'm hitting all the 84 the 85 by. Look at this. 21 84 x10s. I got 10 85 by10s. We'll do a couple of packs right here. Right. Oh, that could have been Zlatan. Why am I skipping it? This would be electric. Williamson, dude. The team of the year like walk out animation. I have to get that in my mind. I'm chasing Zlatan. And that's one that I actually want to see. Not just because you get the suits and you walk out looking cool and stuff, but like the one card that we are trying to pack is going to be behind that animation and that is only the best way to experience it as well is see the cool thick animation there. So, we're going to be doing the pack grind today trying to hit 99s. We hit the verts. We got a team of three out now with new 99s. We're going to be trying to pack them today. Of course, hopefully the 84 plus player pick going away doesn't cook things. I'm even going to skip that one right there. Imagine it's a 98 or a 99. It is a 96. Florians, that's my theory. I'll do one more pack for the lads and then we'll save a bunch for today on stream and rip it up. Last one. 85 by10. It's pack with number seven with seven to go. Okay, time warp. So, this one's not going to be good. Anyways guys, that's the video for today. Have a great start to your week. I will see you guys in the Twitch stream, the YouTube stream today on Monday. Let's have a day. It's been Nathan account. I'll see you in the stream today. These abs.
