Video summary
The video focuses on the upcoming preseason promotion for FC 27 Ultimate Team, which is set to launch tomorrow and marks a significant shift in how players can acquire top-tier content. The host reveals that this event will reintroduce numerous 99-rated cards into both packs and Special Breakdown (SBC) sections, effectively ending a long-standing streak where Lionel Messi was the only player to consistently receive a 99 rating in the end-game since FIFA 19. While fans have grown accustomed to seeing Messi's high-rated cards every year, this new promo will feature him as an 88-rated Summer Stars card instead of a 99, breaking his historic run of annual 99 releases. Instead, the spotlight shifts to other legendary and current stars like Ronaldo, Ronaldinho, Cruyff, Bale, Zidane, Lamine Yamal, and Pedri, who are expected to appear as 99-rated cards in packs or through specific transfer SBCs.
In addition to the major star power, the video details several actionable tasks for players looking to maximize their progress before the game's release. The host highlights a newly available Training Camp Evolution called "In That Order," which upgrades cards to approximately 97 overall stats with uncapped dribbling, and recommends completing an easy Player SBC featuring Nikita Parris to earn a rare Ultimate Rewind pick. There is also a reminder about the refreshing 98-plus player pick, which offers a chance at high-rated players like Bruno Fernandes and Teo Hernández. The discussion extends to the market dynamics of these new cards, noting that while some like Lamine Yamal will be expensive due to their status as marquee transfers, others may become more accessible. Players are encouraged to utilize the "First to Two" Double Trouble mode to complete carry-over objectives for the Del Piero and Otamendi rewards efficiently before the beta period concludes.
Finally, the host addresses community concerns regarding gameplay footage and technical issues encountered during the closed beta testing of FC 27. He explains that EA did not allow creators to show actual gameplay because the build was unfinished, which is why the video focuses on menus, card collecting, and SBC strategies rather than match action. The creator also notes that while some experienced crashes or glitches like the R2 button issue during the beta, server performance felt stable due to lower player counts. Looking ahead, he reassures viewers not to worry about earning Season Pass points (SP) prematurely, as EA plans to release a substantial amount of SP in the final weeks before the official launch to help players reach level 30. The video concludes by directing fans to another upcoming video that will feature actual pack pulls and further insights into the new Ultimate Team features, emphasizing that all progress from the beta will reset upon the game's official release.

Hey guys, it's Nate aka the Foot
Accountant. Welcome back to the channel.
The end game is all about the 99s, but
for one goat, the streak is over. It's
all been confirmed with an SBC leak for
the preseason promo that is coming
tomorrow, plus what we already know
about this promo from previous years.
Now, along the lines of preseason, we
have big 99 rated incoming back into
packs and in SBC. Some of the most
popular 99 rated cards are going to find
themselves in the SBC section starting
tomorrow. We're going to talk about all
the leaks that we do have for preseason
and how hopefully EA drops a little bit
of SP today on this game. Let's cover
everything, guys. If you're excited for
it, drop a thumbs up the video, hype the
video, and subscribe if you are new. Now
guys, yesterday you guys showed a bunch
of love on the FC 27 Ultimate Team video
that we were able to drop, and heads-up,
there's another one incoming today. A
bit of a deeper dive on the
conversations of the gallery, the new
SBC system and more that is coming in FC
27. So, make sure you check out that
video and also the pack pulls get even
better. Almost seems like it was rigged,
to be completely honest. Anyways, let's
look over yesterday's content from a
Wednesday where we had one Evo and two
small SBCs. First of all, we have a
training camp Evo called In That Order,
which takes 30 minutes for your card to
get fully upgraded up to about 97 pace,
shooting, passing, and 98 dribbling. It
does give one 99 stat in here uncapped
boost, and that is the in-game dribbling
stat. So, I put my Gio Reyna into this.
I've been using the USA team in
Gauntlet. I need to put a fifth play
style plus on him, but that is the card
that I put into that Evo. Again, it is
in the training camp tab, all the way at
the back of the evolutions section. Now,
in SBCs yesterday, we had a player SBC
and and rather interesting player pick.
The player SBC is Nikita Parris, a
two-play style plus player for London
City. It is very cheap to get done, one
squad, and easy to do. Now, the player
pick is definitely interesting, and I
would recommend doing it because it was
so cheap. It was an 87-rated squad for a
one of three ultimate rewind player
pick. So, that's of course for all the
ultimate rewind cards that are in packs.
This I completed literally in like 1
minute on the game here, just rinsing in
the special cards and some golds from my
club. I didn't get anything good from
this. I think 98-rated Slaughterback was
my best pull, but of course, that does
give it you a chance at the 99-rated
Hansen, Dembélé, Bruno Fernandes, and
Teo Bruno Fernandes and Teo Hernández in
packs right now. So, make sure you do
that player pick. It is really easy to
do. Also, I forget this every single
time, but the 98-plus player pick
refreshed yesterday, as well. It is
going to refresh not today, but
tomorrow, I believe. I need to check the
expiration date on that 98-plus player
pick, but that is the most important
player pick to be doing right now in
this game. It's refreshing every other
day, so it would be set to refresh on
Friday. We'll actually see if it does.
Now, I wanted to open a couple of
95-plus picks here just because I had
rinsed a whole bunch of fodder into the
club, and I'm just taking as many
non-duplicates as possible, but this is
what I'm still doing to chase some
99-rated 99s are going to become a lot
easier to come by with what looks to be
happening with this next promo of
preseason uh with more 99s in SBCs. Now,
of course, that's the end game chase for
a lot of us because we want to get that
99-rated squad. And of course, we've
already had some 99 SBCs, like we've
been talking about, but some more are
incoming. Now, let's first go by the
leaks for preseason cards that are
coming in packs. We have updates from
what we talked about yesterday with this
preseason promo that is coming tomorrow,
our last promo of the entire year and
the leak started flowing yesterday with
the best players that are going to be
coming in packs for preseason. It is the
99 rated Footies icons of R9,
Ronaldinho, Cruyff, and Bale. Alongside
of them, the leaker here Foot Police was
saying "Comment who you want to see and
I'll tell you if they're in or not." And
the only person that he really commented
on and confirmed was Zidane twice. So,
Zidane is also going to be a part of the
preseason batch here. I would assume
there's going to be 99 rated regular
Footies cards as well, like maybe a
Harry Kane, maybe a Sophia Wilson. I
mean, you roll it back to Footies teams
one and team two. I would expect cards
in here like 99 Modric or 99 Florian
Wirtz in this team as well. I think
guys, they're just posting the icons as
the most important and the most popular
players that are going to be re-released
in packs. That's kind of what the
preseason promo is. Like we talked about
yesterday,
it's just going to be a huge re-release
of cards and packs. It may not actually
be as many cards as we've got right now.
It may go down to like 200 or so, but
the Footies cards as 99 rated and some
of the other higher rated should be
coming back in and hopefully some of the
World Cup cards too. As we talked about
in yesterday's video, since those have
not been re-released yet. So, keep an
eye on Twitter for today. I would assume
there'll be some more leaks about
players that are going to be in packs.
But, this was actually the bigger
information, guys. The SBC leaks. And
this included confirmation of a Messi
streak that is going to be broken. Since
FIFA 19,
we have had a 99 rated Lionel Messi card
that has graced the end game of Ultimate
Team. Or even back in some of the
earlier years of FIFA, it wasn't even
the end game where you got the 99 rated
card. It was like the middle of the game
with Team of the Year. FC 25, we had a
99 Footies. FC 24, a 99 rated What is
that? Like Euro Copa Or sorry, Copa
America card for him there. We've got a
FIFA 23 Footies 99 rated FIFA 22. He had
a 99 rated Shapeshifters card. Oh, going
back to FIFA 21, he had a 99 rated
Summer Stars and a 99 rated Footies
card. I will never forget that SBC when
he transferred to PSG. That was a crazy,
crazy card and a crazy SBC. We had two
99 Messis in FIFA 20 with the Team of
the Year and the Team of the Season.
Never was able to obtain those cards
back in that day. FIFA 19, he had three
99 rated cards with a Team of the Year,
Team of the Season, and uh
that's either a Team of the Group Stage
or some sort of like uh Road to the
Final
card. I think it's a Team of the Group
Stage item. FIFA 18 is where he did not
have a 99. He had two 98 rateds. And
then he actually did have a 99 in 17
with a Team of the Season card. And in
FIFA 16 as well with a Team of the Year.
But, the streak has been broken. Since
FIFA 19, he has had a 99 rated card in
the end game. This year, all we've had
is this 98 Summer Stars. And that's all
we're going to be getting because he is
uh leaked to be coming as an SBC during
this promo of preseason. And that The
reason why I'm saying that he's not
going to get a 99 rated card is
during preseason, they don't release new
cards in packs. And they don't really
release new cards in SBCs unless they're
transfers like Yannick Carrasco. He is
another one of the 99 rated cards that
is going to be most likely a 99 released
as a transfer player SBC. But, back to
Messi, this is the best version of this
card you're going to get in this game.
You can take him to five PlayStyle
Pluses and probably put a couple of EVOs
on him. Uh but, if you've got another
version, an EVO'd version of Messi from
like this Time Warp or the Ratings
Reload that was in packs, I would just
keep sticking with that card. I've got
his 97. I'll probably EVO him once or
twice and just run through the end game
with that version of Lionel Messi cuz it
doesn't look like he's getting a 99 and
this streak is going to be over. But,
other 99 rateds besides that Di María,
which would be a pretty marquee transfer
SBC. We've got Lamine Yamal and Pedri.
Now, Lamine Yamal is still about 3 mil.
He was 2 and 1/2 yesterday, dropping
down in price from 3 mil coins on the
market. Still around there, though.
That's going to be a pretty big SBC.
Huge name, of course. One of the biggest
stars in global football. And a 99 rated
card that a lot of people would love to
get. This one's going to be a lot of
squads. Like, I don't know how many
squads, but if they're asking for 27 for
his Laton, and how many was it for
Marcelo? I would imagine that this card
would be even more than that. He might
be like 30. Let's be honest, because
that's a 3 mil card, and it's going to
be pretty easy to get 30 squads. Sure,
it'll take a bit of work, but 85 by 10
is endless.
And it is the end game. It'd be nice if
EA made this like 15 squads or 10 squads
and just let everybody run around, cuz
we are literally about to be in
September with this 99 rated card. But,
that's going to be one that a lot of
people want to do. Same thing with 99
Pedri. This is just going to be a way to
collect those 99 rated cards. So, those
are all of the top tier SBCs that have
been leaked so far. Now, it's not just
those. There is an Elliot Anderson card
as well. I believe these are predicted
stats, but that is a transfer SBC. I'm
going to assume that he's going to be 99
rated because as we looked at that Harry
Kane card when he moved from Bayern or
to Bayern from Tottenham back in FIFA 22
or 23, whenever that was. That was a 99
rated card. A lot of the transfers are
98s or 99s. So, I would expect this
Anderson and this Diamonde to be either
98 or 99 as well. Now, there's a couple
of other transfers that have not been
leaked yet. We've got a French player
that's going to be a transfer SBC and a
Brazilian. I mean, I think about Savio,
aka Savinho, who just had his debut for
Spurs. That would be a sick transfer SBC
for the French player. You could come up
with a number of different names for who
that could be. So, we'll have to wait
for some more leaks on those transfer
SBCs before we learn them. But, that's
one interesting part and maybe one of
the best parts about this pre-season
promo that's going to be incoming is
more 99 rated cards and of course 99
rated playing for their new clubs. They
usually don't have dynamics. I know it's
a small touch that is slightly annoying.
They're shown here in these leaks like
Di Maria with a dynamic image.
Historically in the past a lot of them
have not had dynamics because there
hasn't been enough time or they don't
have the rights or something for that
player at their new club. So that's just
one thing to mention although we have
had transfer players already that have
had dynamics in game on special cards
and other parts of the game. When it
does come to the transfers sometimes
that player moments SBC card type
doesn't always have the dynamic. So that
could be a thing to watch out for on
those SBCs. That's kind of all the
updates that we have about the
pre-season promo. I don't think
anything's going to be changing with the
pack grind. All of our upgrade packs are
set to be around until the end of the
game like the 85 by 10.
The uh
the repeatable Footies player pick that
refreshed last Thursday, but they
updated the timer through literally the
end of the game. So wouldn't expect too
much to be changing there. The pack
grind will stay the same to craft all of
those 99 rated player SBCs. But let's
kind of zoom in on what's happening
today in this game because one of our
token stores is expiring and by the time
you're watching this video, it might
already be gone. That's why we mentioned
it earlier in the week. There's another
94 Bale. Wow, I still need to Evo him. I
haven't used Gareth Bale this entire
year of FC after his team of the year
SBC from was it last year or 2 years
ago?
How did I not use him this year? That's
crazy. But the token store for Footies
is expiring today at Rivals rewards
which may have already happened once
again as I mentioned. Also the Festival
of Football token store is going to
expire in a couple days as well and the
weekly reset on the pre-season tokens is
still set to be um at Rivals rewards
today. This is different from Footies
weekly limits where it reset on Fridays.
We're going to have another 3,000 tokens
that we can get after the car or after
the Rivals rewards drop today, which is
still kind of hilarious because we are
nowhere near able to get 3,000 tokens in
1 week. They are not dropping that many
tokens. Also today, guys, I would watch
out for objectives for SP because the
daily objectives, the weekly objectives
are going to refresh, and that should
allow us to get more SP. Also, if you're
playing manager or player career, this
is one of the best places to get a boost
up in the season pass by completing 10
of those match objectives or in manager
live objectives getting some of those
done manager career. But, I'm going to
tell you guys this. I know a lot of
people are worried about SP right now
and worried about getting the tokens.
Specifically for SP, I wouldn't fret um
because EA is going to release a whole
bunch of SP near the end of the season
pass in the next 2 to 3 weeks right
before FC 27 comes out, and then it'll
be super duper easy to get level 30.
That's the goal, right? We all want to
get level 30 before the season ends
because that gives us the rewards. Nice
Schlotterbeck right there. That gives us
the rewards in FC 27. Again, I would not
worry about it too much because I will
almost guarantee you that EA is going to
release a bunch of SP over the next
couple weeks. I just hope today they
start to increase little by little the
amount of SP that they will be dropping.
Maybe in the weekly objectives they're
giving, you know, a couple more hundred
SP for getting a single objective done
and maybe the group reward, instead of
500 that we just looked at, is 1,000. We
will just have to see there, but I would
not worry about it. I know we're trying
to get all this stuff done. One thing to
look forward to today, it's not new
content, but just one thing to kind of
keep on top of the FC 27 carry over
rewards would be to keep an eye on that
Katerina Marcario objective or the
Callum Wilson. I'm kind of speaking to
myself here when I say this. This is
just a reminder to stay on top of those
objectives and uh use the double trouble
first to two mode, the season 10 double
trouble live event mode that is out.
Use that to complete all of your
objectives that you still need to get
done because that is going to be a super
duper easy way to get Mark Cario done,
which of course is progress towards Del
Piero and the FC 27 rewards. We will not
get Otamendi today. This will be
tomorrow on Friday and you don't want to
fall behind on these in my opinion just
because they're not that hard to get
done in that specific mode cuz it's
first to two. I think actually the first
to two game mode
has expired. It It hasn't expired? Did
that go away? No, season 10 double
trouble. It is there. The attempts to
refresh at rivals, but that's just a
great place to get those objectives done
and make sure you stay on top of them,
of course, before it gets to be too late
and you're trying to cram the games in
before FC 27 does come out. Now again,
speaking of FC 27, make sure you take a
look at today's second FC 27 Ultimate
Team YouTube video. It is a good one.
Like I said, there's even a better pack
pull than what we had in yesterday's
video. That was pretty crazy. A lot of
you guys too were asking in the video
yesterday, which I was trying to get in
the comments of and if you have
questions on today's FC 27 videos well,
definitely drop them down below. I know
we're trying to explain all the new
features and dive into Ultimate Team and
and kind of realize that, but some of
you guys have had some really good
questions. I want to make sure I try to
answer those too. But one of the most
common questions was, "Nate, why can't
you play gameplay? Why did you not show
gameplay in the video?" Well, first of
all, I don't really show YouTube video
show gameplay on my YouTube videos most
of the time anyway, cuz that's not
necessarily what I'm most passionate
about in the game. I love the menus. I
love the card collecting, the gallery,
the packs, the market of course, the
SBCs, but also we were not, as the EA
creators, really allowed to show the
foot gameplay. I think there's some
other YouTube videos that are going to
be coming out from other
creators that will show gameplay in like
kickoff, but since it was an unfinished
build of the game, EA did not want us
showing any which is that's their
decision. I'm just telling you that's
why I didn't show gameplay, not that I
really would have anyway for what we
talk about here and what we're showing
on the channel and what I'm most
passionate about, but also that's why
you're not seeing it
in other places. So, that is one answer
to a question there that a lot of people
did have. And my game crashed. Hopefully
that is not something that happens in FC
27 as much, especially the R2 glitch.
After playing in the that early build,
aka the closed beta for what we have on
the video yesterday and today, I didn't
notice the R2 glitch.
And I know there was a lot less people
on the server, so I would say that the
menus didn't feel as bad.
They felt I wouldn't say they felt
crispier, they felt the same, but we
didn't have the R2 glitch. They didn't
feel super glitchy in terms of like
connectivity and servers, but that
definitely has to be because there was
less people on the game, right? I don't
know. That's my interpretation of
things, but make sure you go check out
that video today. It'll be dropping 2
hours before content, same time as
yesterday's video. There's a couple of
other pieces of content that I'm putting
up on other socials as well. Um just
some short clips and stuff like that.
Also, I'm going to try to put out like a
long tweet explanation of the gallery.
Some people see things visually and
learn the best. Others see things in
like words and learn the best, so I'm
going to try to put out some more
information on that as well. Still an
incredible opportunity to be able to
play FC 27 early like we were able to um
and share that with you guys. The
earliest that it's like ever been. I
know some people weren't happy about
that. Like, "Oh my gosh, these guys are
already on FC 27." It's more of just
kind of a hey, this is what it looks
like and not like
we're actually on the game. No.
Like I said, if I would go in right now
to the FC 27 game, the beta that I have,
like it's closed down. The beta is
closed down. Everything ended there.
None of those cards, none of the items
that I packed or coins that I got will
go towards my actual FC 27 account. It
is the the beta. It stopped there.
Progress is reset. And uh hopefully we
still get some more news. We have a lot
to learn still about FC 27, like the
launch itch notes that they drop every
year before the game comes out. That we
shouldn't be getting that now for a
couple of weeks, but still that's one of
the biggest pieces of information that
we're still looking forward to
to learn a lot about the early game
content-wise
on FC 27. So, anyway, guys, that's the
video for me today. Check out the other
one that's coming later today, 2 hours
before content. I appreciate all of you.
Thank you for the support, and I will
see you in that video there. It's been
Native Football Content. Have a great
Thursday. Peace
out.
