The Most META CB of FC 27, FREE!?

Hey guys, it's Nate aka the foot accountant. Welcome back to the channel. It is officially FC27 week. We are so close you can almost taste it, guys. But today is a huge day for FC27 news as we're expecting to get the launch update pitch notes, which is going to tell us so much about what is happening as we log into FC27 this week. However, some of what I think we're going to learn from these pitch notes is already being leaked. things about squad foundation players and a new concept of gold cards. But with fivestar skill moves and weak foots, we have got a lot of leaks and we're going to talk about a lot of those today. But leaks can be two things and I'm feeling both of these right now. Leaks can be exciting. They can also be annoying. Is there going to be anything that's a surprise when we log into FC27 for the first time or is it all going to be leaked? But on the other hand, some of these leaks that we are seeing in this news that we probably would have learned today anyway through these launch update pitch notes is very exciting because guys, EA is giving us all I think one of the best center backs in the game, the early game of FC27 for free. This card is like a 400,000 card if it was going to be on the market in my opinion. Let's discuss. Guys, if you're excited for this one, drop a thumbs up on the video, hype the video if you can, and subscribe if you are new. Now, first thing I just want to mention once again is a huge news day today, either one or 2 hours before the content drop time. I'm expecting the FC27 version of these launch update pitch notes, which should give us a whole bunch of detail as to how this game is going to look, when it's going to release, specifically, if EA's changing any of the dates, and then even things like rewards changes that we haven't learned about yet, evolutions, pre-order content, if we're going to be getting welcome backpacks, and what those welcome backpacks could be. That hopefully is a part of some of the news that we're going to get today on Monday. So, be on the lookout for these launch update pitch notes. Those will be coming out very, very soon. So, be on the lookout for that. We'll be streaming today, reacting to that, talking all about it, and getting into the details. Now, from yesterday's leaks on Sunday, this is where we have to start. This really isn't a leak. This is like facts. Um, guys, the EA Play 10-hour trial that we thought was going to be the first way that you'd be able to log into the actual console or PC game of FC27 is looking like it's not going to be the way to log in first because it was updated yesterday on people's screens. I believe this is on console, uh, showing that the date and the time had changed. Originally, this looked like it was going to be on the 17th of September at 1:00 p.m. UK, which is the same time that those of you on Xbox flying to New Zealand would be able to get on the full version of the game. That's midnight New Zealand time. That's when EA Play, as we talked about in the last couple of days, was allegedly going to open up. So, we were saying, "Hey, $6 10our early access trial to EA Play. You get those 10 hours before midnight on the 18th when you can log in in your local time zone." Well, that doesn't look to be the case anymore. EA has allegedly changed the date to be 2:00 a.m. on the 18th. So, it wouldn't even make sense to have EA play now if this is true. But, it's all up in the air still. And this is frustrating for me. Uh, because I don't like how EA has just changed this out of the blue multiple days beforehand, especially after I've told a lot of you guys EA Play might be worth it. And you've probably gone out and spent six bucks getting EA Play for the 10-hour early access trial if you wanted to take it that far. out. I would say try to refund that. Uh if this makes you want to do that because it would make me want to do that. If it's actually not going to give me the early access to the game in terms of getting on the 17th instead of the 18th, I wouldn't pay six bucks for that. I don't think that'd be worth it. So, try to refund that. I think you should be able to uh check that out. I mean, I'm sorry because this is what we thought the EA play was going to be. We saw multiple tweets about it. We saw multiple screenshots saying it was going to be the 17th and now EA go ahead and they change it to the 18th. That is super frustrating. Now, the one thing about this that is good, I guess, is that EA's not trying to get $6 out of people uh and make more money off of releasing the game and letting people log into the game a few hours early for the 10-hour early trial. So, that's a good part about it. It's just frustrating to me that uh we have been saying, hey, this is a way you can get on the game early and now it's not. And it's frustrating that there's a lack of consistency here with the timing. So hopefully some of the dates and times are going to be confirmed in the launch update pitch notes today for when the EA Play trial will be coming out. But that was pretty big news yesterday. And again, as I said here, it does frustrate me that it's inconsistent uh with what we had thought before. Now, let's get into the real leaks. That is like new news and information about FC27 content. It all started yesterday with Squad Foundation players. Now, I wouldn't say this is a crazy leak, a huge bit of information, but this might actually be the list of players that you can get from objectives based on the starter league, as we talked about yesterday in the web app that you choose. So, if you choose Premier League as your starter league, you can see there's four Prem players here. Costulus from Brighton, Lindelof, you've got Lewis Potter, and then Miley from Newcastle. Those cards don't look that amazing, but they're all pretty low rated, so you could evolve them. Now, there's four Premier League cards, four League One, for Bundesliga, for La Liga, and I think there's a couple of MLS as well. All right, so you've got Espinosa, and you've got Corona. It sounds like from this tweet that Espinosa is going to be an SBC, and Corona is going to be an objective objective reward for something related to the gallery. And if you guys do remember Teatito Corona, fivestar, fivestar rule breakers card. I think it was FC 24 or FIFA 23. That card was unbelievable. He's one of the lowest rated 55 cards in the game. That card looks very usable. We'll have to see how easy it is to get him. But I digress. These are the cards that we look like we're going to be getting from the starter nation that we do choose. So, if you're a fan of a specific league or a fan of some of these specific players inside of here or you just like the stats of them and they would go into your team right away, that's maybe the league that you would want to choose for your starter league when you open up the web app or when you open up the console for the very first time. This was also a very interesting leak yesterday that might have to do with a early game promo or maybe something going on in objectives or SBC's. A new concept that foot scoreboard says here is special cards with gold level stats but fivestar skill moves and a fivestar weak foot. Now he shows a different card design here that's not too far off from the gold design just turned kind of like a bronze color with dynamic images. I don't know if these are official cards. I don't think they are. I think they're just like predicted players for who would be inside of this. But anybody going to fivestar fivestar very early in the cycle is crazy. I know that in the end of F26 like everybody's fivestar skills five star weak foot. So it doesn't seem you know that crazy but in the early game first couple of months a five star five star player is mental because you're still using a lot of players that have three star weak foot and three star skills that early on in the game. So this is a very interesting concept that I would definitely want to watch especially for EVOs. I mean you think about like an endrich that's five star fivestar that you could get your hands on right away. That's a five5 that you would have for the rest of the year that you could potentially evo. So I have some intrigue in that. I would love to hear more about that. I have no idea what this is about. Uh he says more information coming soon. So keep an eye on the leaks as there do seem to be a lot of leaks right now. Uh that's where some of the information is coming in right there. Foot scoreboard ASY foot trader on Twitter. That's one of the things that we're going to have to look at. Now this is the biggest leak from yesterday and I really like this one. It's very exciting because these hollow foot players have been a main topic of discussion. How do we get them? And is it going to be easy to get them? Well, we've learned that they're coming through the gallery token store. And you get gallery tokens by completing sets and increasing your grade in the gallery. It's really easy to do. We've made multiple videos on it. If you've missed those, go take a look at those FC27 beta videos from like two weeks ago. Now, these are official or leaked, not official, leaked prices for how much these hollow foot players are going to cost inside of that gallery token store. You've got a couple cards down here at 300 tokens in Lune, McGiddini, and M&K, but I'm seeing a couple of value picks for 400 tokens. 400 tokens doesn't seem that hard to get either, and I like that. I mean, our range here is from 300 tokens all the way to 750 for Hulk and Potato. And for sure, Hulk looks like the most meta card or one of the top two most meta cards inside of this list with Power Shot Plus, insane stats. P looks crazy, too. I have no problem with those guys being more expensive because they look insane. But for 400 tokens, only 50 tokens more than Hulk or Pau, you could get a Barbo and Dvinho. That's 800. That's only 50 more than Hulk. Having a Barbo and Dravinho both with the quick step and the rapid plus with that pace. That might be the thing to do in the early game. Maybe you're trying to recreate the FIFA 15 iconic attacking trio of the Ibarbo, the Doomia, and the Dervinho because that would just cost you in total 1300 of these gallery tokens. Now, I don't know how easy it's going to be to obtain these, but for 400 to 500 tokens a card, surely it seems possible. Maybe not within the first couple of days, but within the first few weeks or months, we'll be able to get a couple of these cards, lock them into our squads, use a player with a play style plus that's a FIFA legend. I like the way this is looking. Freddy Guine is only 400 tokens. Blasakowski is 500. Dale Walcott with 96 pace is only 500 tokens. I do think that, you know, there is some frustration from a lot of people seeing the Aken Fenua, Fellaini, Remy, Ellie, and Dos Santos in here at 500 tokens. I don't have a super big problem with those hollow foot cards being in here because it makes the Ultimate Plus pre-order decision a lot less exclusive. If you were if it was the only choice you would have between those five cards to pick with the Ultimate Plus, then you'd be like, well, I got to make the right choice. Now, it's like if you pick a Remy right away, but you still really wanted Aken Fenma, you can still go back and get the Akena. I understand people saying, "Oh my goodness, Nate, I paid 150 bucks for this version of the game and now these cards are not that exclusive." That doesn't bother me that much because you're getting it day one and nobody else is going to have these cards day one, at least for a week or two. Now, is that enough to make it worth it? That's really up to you to decide, but I think that 500 tokens for all those cards in the pre-order is a fine price. Valencia is 500, David Luiz is 500 as well. That's going to be a card to keep an eye on. And then Pau and Hulk both look insane. and they're at 750 tokens. This is going to be impacting the market, guys. I keep thinking about this new gallery token system, how you get cards for the gallery and how you can buy them. And I think that's going to impact the market in the early game. I'm really curious to see how it moves prices. We're going to be all over that. Trading with that, investing in that if it's possible to do so, and then hopefully seeing um you know, some of these cards like actually obtainable to be able to put into our squads within the first couple of weeks. Even if it's just getting one or two within the first like month, that is still super cool because it gives you something to kind of chase for. That's that's the excitement that I feel with this as well. giving something for you to chase for as you open all sorts of packs and as you complete other objectives and as you hunt for certain cards to complete sets. I think that's going to be cool. I love these cards and I'm super excited to chase them down and get them after acquiring those gallery tokens. So, that's maybe the biggest fun leak from yesterday. But just one real quick. I should have mentioned it back here. This leak is where I kind of started mentioning that leaks are kind of annoying right now because there's so many of them, guys. the leagues are just going crazy. And there is an aspect of this to me that is annoying alongside with it being exciting because it's like what what is going to be fresh and new and exciting when MC27 drops? Like I get it. Today we're going to get launch update pitch notes and EA is going to tell us a whole bunch. I don't know if they would have told us all of this though. Maybe some of this stuff is not going to be included in the launch update pitch notes today. But it does to an extent feel like you get excited for the game. You're wondering what it's going to be like. you're waiting to log in for the first time to see all the new stuff to experience it and then half of it already is known on Twitter and you're not going to be surprised by that. And the element of surprise has been missing in this game for so long and I do think that is one of the reasons why people are becoming less happy with their experience on Ultimate Team. I really do. I don't think EA understand how big of a negative leaks are overall, especially year over year over year on this game. Now, like I said, leaks are also exciting at the same time. And you can't ignore them because if you ignore them, then you know you're gonna be behind. And that's the thing, like what we try to do here is keep you guys up to date with the latest trends, what to buy, what to sell, especially once the market gets going and we get on the game, how to stay ahead of the curve, how to play this game in a way that if you're really into it is fun. It really is fun to be in this game and to be like really deep inside of all of the tricks and the tips. It's really fun to get engrossed in this game, but at the same time, the leaks take away from the si surprise of that. So, that's kind of the mixture of emotions that I'm feeling at the moment. Let me know in the comments how you guys are feeling as well. I saw a lot of people saying, you know, I'm not happy with the leaks right now. Other people are saying, you know, it is what it is because it happens all the time. I just wish that we could go back to a world where it didn't happen all the time, you know, because there was more pure genuine excitement without the expectation dump that we get all the time with leaks. I've talked about that a lot. Let's move on and talk about the part of the leaks that is really exciting though, and that is the season pass rewards. Not just this Evo. One EVO, three play styles, finesse, low driven, and powers shot. I'd have to think that this is a max 83 like requirement on this evolution. The other EVOs that we had from Etsy 26 carryover rewards were max 83. I'm going to imagine this is there as well. Maybe it's max 84 since it's season pass level 28. We will have to see. But those are three good attacking finishing play styles for sure for any striker that you might be wanting to boost early in the game or at least in the first couple of weeks. So, I like that. Now, this is where it gets big, guys. The season pass rewards at level 30 for this first season of FC27 have been revealed. In the paid pass, it is Diamande and in the free pass, it is Faren Torres. Now once again these are ones to watch cards live and upgrading based on how Faren Torres and Diamande play and their clubs how they play as well because there's that wins to watch objective. If Madrid wins three games out of six in the league and if PSG win three games out of six in the league starting I'm assuming after these cards come out that's another plus one overall upgrade for them. And their cards do look really good. Now, Diamand is in the paid pass, but for anybody who's getting onto the game this weekend, the paid pass is free because it was included inside of the perks of getting the ultimate or ultimate plus. So, that's not that big of a deal in these in these early stages with the premium passes included. We're all going to be getting all of the rewards from the season pass if you've got the ultimate or ultimate plus edition. So, that Diamont, they actually won't cost you anything additional. Those are really, really good cards. We're gonna have to see what team of the weeks, what player of the months potentially, and what man of the matches either of them could be getting to upgrade their stats. But this this is the big one, guys. Laqua, who we knew was leaked. We saw his card is going to be available in level seven of the premium season pass. Now, again, that's in the premium season pass, but again, like I said, if you are getting the ultimate edition of this game or ultimate plus edition, if you're playing this game this weekend, you're going to get this card within the first week or two. level seven. That's not difficult to get. And when a card of these stats and play styles is going to be free at level seven, that is crazy. Like, that is unbelievable, guys. If you take a look at his stats and compare to the other center backs that are in this game from the start, he's like he's up there with some crazy crazy names. This is the comparison, right? These are Premier League center backs that have 84 defending and 83 physical. David Luiz, VVD, those are the only two usable cards from this list. Gabrielle 64 pace. Maybe some people would use him. He's got 91 defending and 84 physical. But again, 84 defense and physical is what this Laqua card has. Those are the only four cards that have that same rating or above in those stats there. And when you add in the pace, 83 physical, 84 defending, and 80 pace. He's got 86. 80 pace. These are the only center backs in the game from the start that will have those stats. Varane, Pacho, Pepe, Makano, Schlotbeck, and Bremer. Insane card that we are getting for quote unquote free. I mean, it's in the paid pass, but like I just said, it's basically free. This is a 300 or 400,000 coin card. I completely agree with Jake here who's saying this Laqua would be 450k on the market. Absolutely he would. French Chelsea Premier League links only 83 rated. Now, is Chelsea going to get this guy some upgrades? It's very possible he has to perform. He has to get a man of the match card or a team of the week or a player of the month, which is not likely for a center back to even get an in form. Not as like that doesn't happen as often as an attacker for sure, but it's possible. But like winning three out of six matches after this card drops, that is possible. This is going to be everywhere. This card is going to be one of the staples of early game FC27 unless he somehow sucks in game, which I can't imagine that he's going to. I mean, you take a look at his card from last year in FC26. He had this winter wild cards which was extremely popular. I mean, sure, he fit into EVOs and that's part of the reason why his price went up from 120k to 300k in February. But look at that price rise. And then he had this card from Crystal Palace winning the Conference League. This was one of the most hyped center backs in the game in that late game stage. Sure, again, he was expensive as well. The all these cards were super expensive, but he went from 3.2 mil in June up to 5 million coins. Super duper hyped card. His card this year as well even got better play styles than last year. He has long ball, jockey, intercept, and aerial fortress. I think intercept is the most important defensive play style on this game. I think jockey would be top three as well with anticipate being number two. Aerial Fortress, maybe that's better this year. And then Long Ball, okay, sure. 6 foot3 with the stats that he has. He's got good physical stats, defending across the board, very balanced. His passing isn't terrible. And of course, he's got the crazy pace. His acceleration is not good, but his sprint speed is. You're not going to get caught uh out of position, I don't think, with this guy. And again, you're going to be lengthy as well because he's tall enough and he's got high enough strength over his agility stat. This is a crazy card for EA to be giving out at level seven. Like, I hope you guys understand that he is going to be everywhere. Like, sure, maybe he doesn't fit into your main team if you got some crazy packs week two when you hit level seven in this game, but that's going to be the thing. People are going to be trying to rush playing like player career, pro clubs, the grounds, manager career. People are going to be trying to get to level seven ASAP because of what this guy is going to be able to provide as a defender in the game. And it's actually probably going to have some impact on prices of players. Like when a lot of people start hitting level seven, I would not be surprised if centerback prices drop in the first couple of days, the first couple of weeks in this game because of the fact this card is literally going to be everywhere. Like when I say he's literally going to be everywhere, I think he's going to be an eight out of 10 teams that you see when you play the first foot champs of FC27. So that is honestly a nuts card with the links that he's got, with the pace that he has as a center back. I don't think he's going to be bad in the game, but we'll just have to see. That is a absolutely mental mental leak there as a part of the first season pass coming to this game this week. So, that's really what I wanted to talk about most in this video, guys. Those leaks that we got yesterday, I'm sure there's going to be more leaks today because the leaker said, "Watch out. There's more news in coming." But some of it's going to be made official, of course, by the launch update pitch notes that we get today as well. Make sure you stay subscribed to the channel cuz we're going to have multiple uploads coming up in the next couple of days as we get on to FC27 tomorrow. I'll be getting the game tomorrow, getting on stream, and actually playing FC27, finding all the ways that we can start the game the quickest and uh maybe find some ways to get SP to get that Laqua card as well. But make sure you tap into the stream today because we're going to be looking at everything with the new launch update pitch notes that comes out and all the latest FC27 news. If you've missed some of the preparation videos on the channel, make sure you go back and take a look at those as well. How to start the web app, dates that you need to know for FC27. Make sure you get involved with some of these guys. There's a lot of intel in there. Get involved. I'll see you guys in the stream today. Have a happy Monday and the start to the FC27 week. It's been Nathan account. I'll see you later. Peace
