Video summary
The video centers on the enduring possibility of pulling 99-rated players from Team of the Year packs, a feat that many viewers feel has become increasingly difficult due to perceived poor pack weights and repetitive results. The host, Nate, shares his personal excitement after successfully obtaining a second 99-rated card in a single day, emphasizing that persistence is key because success often hinges on just one lucky pull. He encourages viewers not to give up on the grind, noting that even if most packs yield duplicates or lower-rated cards, maintaining hope and continuing to open packs can eventually lead to a breakthrough moment that revitalizes motivation for playing the game.
Beyond pack pulls, the video highlights significant updates in FC 26, including a new goalkeeper evolution called "Wall of Fame" that boosts stats up to 99 and grants five play style pluses, making it an essential upgrade for keepers like Tim Howard or Emi Martínez. The host also discusses the current state of Season Tokens, which are being released slowly with a cap of 3,000 tokens, and advises players to use pre-season token swap SBCs to convert fodder cards into valuable resources. Additionally, he mentions upcoming content drops such as new Player Picks featuring Harry Kane and other high-rated icons, as well as the expiration of existing evos that players should claim before they disappear from their rewards tabs.
The transcript also covers recent leaks regarding FC 27 ratings for various leagues, including Serie A, La Liga, and MLS, while cautioning viewers about inconsistencies in early leak data until the official database is released on Friday. Nate recommends using third-party apps like Foot Scoreboard to access deeper insights into player stats, weak foot boosts, and potential chemistry styles before cards officially launch. Throughout the video, he demonstrates his own pack-opening routine, showing how he manages storage by submitting lower-rated squads to SBCs without worrying too much about exact rating thresholds, ultimately aiming to clear space for new pulls while maximizing the chances of acquiring rare 99-rated players through strategic use of provisions packs and icon packs.

Hey guys, it's Nate, aka the Foot
Accountant. Welcome back to the channel.
Let me be the one to tell you today that
the 99-rated pack pulls are still out
there. I know the pack weight seems to
be dreadful, and it's tiresome ripping
the 85 by 10s when you get the same
cards over and over, but all it takes is
one pack. The same line that I use every
year during Team of the Year applies
now, because guys, I'm jazzed up after
getting my second 99-rated pack pull
yesterday, and many of you guys in the
chat as well got 99s from the new player
pick that came out. I'm here to motivate
you today because they are out there for
the taking. If you put in that extra
grind, again, you never know when it's
going to happen. Now, we're going to do
a quick 10-minute pack run as a part of
the video today, but I do want to take a
look at everything else going on in this
game, including an Evo that is making
goalkeepers go extinct on the market in
August, and of course a whole lot of FC
27 news, which we won't dive into super
quickly, but we have FC 27 beta news to
talk about as well, as we're in the
final week of that beta. And if you have
it, make sure you check all the modes,
cuz it should be fully opened up. Let's
talk about everything, guys, and maybe a
new chance to pack footies today on
Wednesday. If you're excited for it,
drop a thumbs up the video, hype the
video, and subscribe if you are new.
Now, let's actually start with that
conversation real quick, because if you
have the FC 27 beta, which I so wish
wasn't a closed beta. I wish I could
stream this. I wish we could talk about
it, look at the new things that are in
coming in the game. All of the modes are
now opened up in it. For the last week
that the beta is going to be out, you
can play Ultimate Team if you only had
Career Mode in the Grounds before, and
vice versa.
So, make sure you check that out in
there, and it's a nice head start, and
actually is a kind of advantage to get
on the beta right now and check out some
of the new things in Ultimate Team
before they come out next year. Now, the
Evo content that we had yesterday in FC
26 is one that you cannot miss out on.
It's called the Wall of Fame, a max 96
goalkeeper Evo that is boosting stats up
to 99, boosting reactions and
positioning up to 97, and is giving the
best play style pluses that you could
want for a keeper. I am absolutely
putting this on Tim Howard. He goes to
99 reflexes, 90 speed, and 97
positioning into five play style pluses.
Like that is perfect play style pluses
for a goalkeeper card that I would want.
Footwork, far reach, pinged, far throw,
and then the rush out plus. Absolutely
fantastic free Evo. There are so many
cards that this looks great on. And I
mentioned a goalkeeper going extinct in
this late stage of the game. Emi
Martínez has three 99 stats coming out
of this evolution cuz he already has two
from his upgrades during the World Cup.
He's gone from 150, 160,000 coins up to
400k or 390 max price. He is one of the
most popular cards going into this
evolution. So, whether it's a card like
Gadella or maybe like that Vicario from
earlier on in the year that you've been
evolving the entire year, or it's a card
like that 96 Emi Martínez, or maybe the
Courtois from Glory Hunters that you've
got, put a goalkeeper into this Evo
because five play style pluses for a
free goalkeeper Evo is fantastic. Now,
let's go to SBCs where we probably, as
the most important thing from yesterday,
should talk about the tokens first
because we got pre-season token swap
SBCs, which now means that we have 600
total tokens, I believe, dropped so far.
I've already spent some, and I haven't
even got them all. That's why I'm at 355
right now. EA's continuing the very slow
start to the season with SP and to the
tokens. Again, unfortunately, with that
3,000 token cap, that does not mean, or
has not meant so far, that we are
getting more tokens in rewards and
through objectives and SBCs and
everywhere else in this game right now.
But this is very, very nice if you have
a bunch of fodder, which, especially for
the 87 plus cards, which we're packing
from the 85 by 10s, a whole bunch. These
were really easy tokens to get, so I
would highly recommend getting into
those. Now, the other SBC content we had
yesterday was a FIFA legend Danny da
Costa center back card for a Footies
item. Decent card there and evolvable.
We had the 88 plus times five upgrade
pack and alongside the swaps, we have, I
think, the biggest and best SBC
yesterday, the player pick that I got a
99 rated card from and that is the new
95 plus team one through four one of
four festival football or Footies player
pick. It's still the 88 and the 90 rated
squad and I've got the clip for you guys
right here. If you didn't see it
yesterday on the stream, this is the
follow guys. You're a legend. This,
okay, is it. Check it out. Player pick
times three. Show me a 99, man. This
could happen.
This could happen. Yes, let's go. It did
happen. Claudia Piña.
95 pace, 91 pace in FC 27. Bang. It's
possible, boys. It is possible. Look at
the chat going crazy. There was a bunch
of people in the chat as well said that
they got 98s and 99s from this same
player pick and that was this one. That
was the first one that I opened up. The
next two were not that great, but that's
the whole mantra of what I was
mentioning at the beginning of the
video. All it takes is one pack or one
player pick. Do not give up on this
grind. I figured we start a quick little
10-minute timer in the video today to
rip through some packs. I won't change
scenes. I won't change the screen so
that we mess up with things. Even when
you get gold 85 by 10s like that, just
don't give up, all right? If you've lost
the motivation, use this as a little bit
of fuel to the fire to get it back going
because the 99s are there and man, once
you hit one, it feels amazing. I was
able to go and use that Claudia Piña in
FUT Champs alongside with my Zlatan.
Those two pulls together have completely
revitalized my motivation to want to
play this game at the moment. All it
takes is one pull. So, if you're not
quite there yet, just hold on to a
little bit of hope. See the success of
another person, whether it's me or
somebody else on Twitter. I just had
somebody tag me in another uh pack pull.
They got 99-rated Cruyff from one of the
greats of the game player picks, the one
of three player pick. Guys,
there is opportunities to get 99s out
there. Keep believing. Keep grinding.
Now, in Oh, I switched the scene. So,
guess what? The timer reset. It's all
right. We'll go somewhere down close to
zero on the timer. Um I just wanted to
show you guys this grind once again
because I know there's people tuning
into the videos each and every day that
are questioning like, "Nate, what is the
best grind? What should I be doing with
my players when I fill up my storage and
stuff like that?" The grind for me
hasn't changed. I'm doing the exact same
SBCs, the 85 by 10, the provisions pack,
and then the 94 plus icon pack. I'm just
fitting in the other SBCs like the new
95 plus picks from yesterday to get
myself, you know, some extra chances at
99 rateds. And it paid off. So, would
recommend doing that. We've got a Monaco
player. Who is a Monaco Eric Dier.
Man, I keep looking at the badge on kind
of the drop down there on that right
side for the double walkout that we walk
that we watched to see like a bit of a
glimpse and a a guess at to who that
player could be as a second walkout.
And I keep seeing some of these clubs
and I'm thinking it's going to be a big
pull, but it never is. So, we're almost
full in the storage here and I will go
back in and rinse. You know what we
really need right now, and we've been
saying this for a while, but now more
than ever we need something big. We need
a 99-rated player SBC once again. Like,
the Vitinha was cool, but the Vitinha
only lasted us 10 minutes because we
already had so much fodder in our club
that we could just get the Vitinha done
immediately straight away. No problem.
And now we're looking for the next SBC
like that. I mean, I know it's crazy to
say, but remember that SBC for Cristiano
Ronaldo that was 42 squads. We talked
about that a few few ago on a video
talking about where are the good footies
SBCs. It's crazy to say guys, but like
that sort of thing
is what would actually help at the
moment in terms of a grind is having
something that's that many maybe not 42,
but like 20 segments, 25 segments for a
card that actually feels worth it. Like
I would be motivated to get something
done. If it was a 99 rated Ronaldo or a
99 rated Messi. Since we don't have a
card of either of those two at 99 rated
right now. I would be down. I would be
super down for a big SBC like that and
it just kind of like you look at the
player SBCs that we have had. It just
isn't that great. Vitinha was good a
good one, right? But other than that it
has not been great. So as a part of this
quick 10-minute pack grind here, I'm
going to make sure to remind you guys
that you really don't need to care about
the rating of the cards you're
submitting in these SBCs. Notice I'm
turning in 95 rated from my storage from
the cheapest um footies cards are not
the cheapest, but the lowest rated cards
that will work for the festival football
requirement from my club or for the team
of the week team of the season
requirement that special card
requirement. I am really not caring
about the rating that much at all. Maybe
I'll go low to high here here cuz I know
that I'm way over the rating already,
but I'm just basically trying to rinse
my storage as quickly as I can because
that makes me open more packs. I'm just
trying to rinse rinse my club as fast as
I can. So overpay
it doesn't matter. Seriously, it does
not matter. Overpay get the cards out of
your storage that you need to do. Now
they are for gold at least, so I'm going
to go all. It's not going to replace any
players, so it's going to fill up the
squad there. I'm going to take out these
two that I don't want to submit and
again, I know that I'm over the rating,
but I really don't care. Now I'm going
to go into the club use the captain's
card, which I don't have. I'm going to
go down here to the dance of the call
card, which I do have an Araujo that's
perfect. But a bing but a boom.
That is really nice and really easy. So
again, as you're thinking of doing these
SBCs, guys, even for like the greats of
the game icon packs, I said this a
couple of days ago, as well. I'm turning
in like 91 and 92-rated squads there to
get those players that yes, do go into
the SBCs. Um and that's fine, but like
there's no other great place to put
them. If we had a big SBC that was like
92, 93-rated squads, then sure, I
wouldn't turn all of my 91s and 2s and
3s in for an icon pack like this, but
again, when I have extra space in my
storage that I need to free up here, I'm
going to load a high. I'm putting in
some of these gold cards. I'm putting in
some of the 87-rated as well. Not all of
them, cuz I make sure that I make some
provisions packs, as well. But I'm
sending in like all these 90s for sure
perfect for this, but I'll be sending
92s, 93s, and 94s into these, as well.
That is a good reminder, guys, to make
sure that you keep doing the provisions
packs, because the provisions packs give
you all of the gold cards. Like I have a
bunch of gold cards. That's because I
went through and spammed a bunch of
these provisions packs, and that allows
you to create a nice chunk set of the 85
by 10s, cuz you have the 95-rated
footies that you are opening from the
icon packs, 94 plus, and then of course,
you just use that high-rated card with a
bunch of the low-rated that you are
packing from those provisions, and boom,
you are good to go. So, make sure you
keep rinsing into the provisions packs
there. All right, we're already down to
5 minutes, and I haven't opened that
many packs. My storage is not empty yet.
Let's do one more 85 by 10.
Boom. Let's go submit this, high to low.
We should be good with more cards there,
and I'm going to go from the club this
time to look for Team of the Season
Breakthrough cards. I got nothing. Tots
cards.
Do I have something? I've got to do
Mornay 95, who is already in the squad.
We're going to replace that there.
That's the slightly annoying thing. By
the way, Dumornay Team of the season
center mid position. She has got center
mid position on her base gold card in FC
27. We're going to take a quick peek at
ratings here in just a second and then
look at what we're going to be learning
and what we're going to be getting today
as a part of content on a Wednesday. But
again, I just love doing these pack
runs. After we did a 25-minute pack run
on the video a couple of days ago,
I had a blast doing that. Of course, it
helped that Zlatan was at the end. And
maybe I'm also hoping that doing another
one of these pack runs on a video today
will like maybe increase my pack luck
and maybe we do hit another 99.
I don't think that's going to happen.
But you know what? We got to try it. But
also the reason like I said earlier is
to just try to motivate you guys to get
these packs opened. Even if you're going
to use the tools, you're going to use
the the magic wand ways as we call it of
creating some of these SBCs to get some
of your packs done to save yourself some
time. Just put a little bit of effort
in. Just a little bit. All right?
There's going to be a bunch of you, a
handful of you that are going to come to
me in the stream today and tomorrow and
say, "Nate, because of your video, I
mustered up a little bit of courage and
motivation to grind and boom, I actually
got a 99." Also, I've been packing more
98s as well. I Oh, that would have been
a fun walkout to watch. Two team of the
year center backs in the same packs. So,
I wouldn't say the pack weight has
increased, but I have started to get a
few more different players. I packed 98
Sawa yesterday as well. That was a new
one. I had not seen her card yet at all
during this promo from any of the packs.
I'm just getting mostly dupes right now,
which is par for the course. But again,
we stay going. Now that team of the year
animation that you saw there,
I had not packed Zlatan until I packed
the foot birthday card on the video a
couple of days ago. I had not packed the
team of the year Zlatan either until
yesterday. I actually did see the
animation for Zlatan. I skipped it
actually at the end. But it was finally
cool to pack. I think it was total of 12
days after that Zlatan came out in the
packs. Maybe it was 11.
I finally packed a team of the year
Zlatan. I cannot believe that it took me
that long to pack that card. There's
another team of the year and roll and we
are down to one of our last packs. You
know what? Let's do the icon packs now
since my storage is almost full and I'm
probably going to have dupes here, too.
But as you can see, I'm down a little
bit lower on these because I've been
opening them.
Striker
German, that's Prinz. Bummer. These are
the packs I could get 99 Mia Hamm from
this, man. Oh, that's my storage full.
Darn it, man. You know what? Let's do
one more of these. We're down to 2
minutes and 10 seconds. Maybe I'll have
to do a quick rinse into one SBC. Don't
give me a dupe.
That's definitely going to be a dupe
because I have a lot of those cards in
my club. I've packed all Oh, Oliver
Kahn. Never mind. Must have used him
when I was rinsing this last set of 85
by 10s.
No dupe again. For the boys, Footies.
Skip. Actually, maybe it's not going to
be a duplicate because it's a festival
of football. Good. Carles Puyol. We keep
going. We're alive. There's just
something about when you see a duplicate
card and you see the storage is full
that you're bummed. You know, I haven't
got to the point where I'm quick selling
too much yet. I know that some people
will get there. They start quick selling
cards because they're like, "Ah, it's
just not worth it." Like this one right
here, Marek Hamsik. I've got so many of
him. I'm going to quick sell that card.
I haven't got too much to that point
yet.
Well, but also I feel myself getting
closer to that to be completely honest
because I mean
I mean, we have so many cards and our
storage isn't it's so easy to just quick
sell a card to keep things moving when
you have so many packs that you can
still make. But I wouldn't recommend
quick selling too much because that
would probably not be a great idea
for most of us out there. Okay, this is
probably going to be the last one. It is
Footies and that is going to be
a Billy.
It's crazy that we know all these
walkouts off the top of the dome so
easily because
of the fact that we packed them so many
times and we are know we know what we
look for, too. We're looking for that
PSG badge. We're looking for that Bayern
badge
when we go and open a 85 by 10 on that
second Footies animation walkout because
you know, whatever is going to come into
the other side is going to be good
if it's going to show that PSG because
that would be like Barcola. If it's
going to be, you know, Bayern then it
would be Harry Kane. So, one last 85 by
10 craft here and then I will be
on to the rest of the video, but we had
to do another little quick 10-minute
grind just to see if we can get
anything. We'll be doing this more in
the stream today. You guys know the
drill. Give me another Did I have a dupe
team of the season there?
Nope.
I did not. Dupe team of the years, but
not team of the seasons. Pilgrim goes
in.
See you later. Okay, one more 85 by 10
our dupe storage is going to get full
and then yeah, down to the wire 1
second.
Oh wait, the timer's up. Okay. You know
what? The timer did us well today. One
hiccup at the very beginning. We're
good. That was probably a smidge more
than an actual 10 minutes, but I want to
talk about FC 24 7 ratings after this
and then we'll talk about today's
content. I'm actually going to be doing
today's new Footies player pick
immediately because it will give us a
chance at Harry Kane.
Wow, that was a really bad look. Come
on. All right. Come on. I said two more
and I packed Zlatan.
Yeah, send those to the club. One extra
dupe, I'll quick sell that. I said I'm
not getting into quick sell too much,
but I am starting to. Look at that right
there. That's the proof in the pudding.
Last 85 by 10. Last one.
Footies, we're going to watch it all the
way through. Come on, man. Center mid.
Um
Who? Conmebol Libertadores.
I am blanking. Oh, team of the season
Mercado and then Adopo. Okay, well, you
know what? GG's. That was mid. But since
we're talking about FC 26 stuff right
now, let's stay here. Today's content on
Wednesday, what we should be looking
forward to would be a Footies team four
player pick. The Footies team three
player pick is expiring today. As you
would expect, a new one should be coming
out to replace it and with that
I would have a chance of packing Harry
Kane. Not the icons of course, but Harry
Kane, Barcola, the other 98s and 99s
would be inside of that. The luck's not
going to be great, but it would be
there. 625,000 coin pack could be in the
store as well. So speaking of these
footies cards, if there's anybody here
that is looking to buy a 99 footies,
whether it's an icon or Sophia Wilson,
Barcola, Kane, or De Bruyne, I would
think those cards would drop off today.
The only thing that I'm wondering about
is they haven't dropped the 600k pack in
the store and usually we have a 600k
pack and then a 625k pack, which makes
those cards drop on Wednesdays. So watch
out for that. Not that it matters too
much, but it could be happening today.
Now, evolution-wise today, I actually do
have something to point out here for you
guys that this is a pretty big deal. If
you care about evos, check your rewards
tab because tomorrow at Division Rivals
rewards, kind of like late tonight
tomorrow, I think a lot of these evos
are going If you go through here and
maybe it's just me who has a lot of evos
left, there are a lot of them that are
set to expire in one day and I believe
that counter is going to count down to
Division Rivals rewards. We're talking
about rapid plus to five from the season
pass, unstoppable force, which is a very
good evo, does take you to a non-lengthy
agility boost though. You've got some
other play style plus boost inside of
here as well. So just double check your
rewards tab there, but what we could get
today for a part of content is another
fifth play style plus evo in the
training camp because the footies fifth
pinged pass plus expires. We could see
something new in there. That's probably
all we're really expecting for today's
content drop. Now also of course, we are
expecting more ratings, but
after the first couple of days of no
leaks, yesterday was absolute insanity
with all the FC 27 ratings that were
leaked. Today we're supposed to get
Serie A, Liga F, La Liga, and SPL. We
already have the first three leagues
here fully leaked. We've got MLS that
was just leaked as well. Some I think
NWSL cards have been leaked too.
Uh yeah, the leagues yesterday went
absolutely mad. I don't know if you guys
saw it's all over Twitter.
It is like impossible to keep up with,
but here's what I'll tell you. The full
database drops on Friday at content.
That is when we're going to be able to
at our own pace kind of absorb,
understand, and and really see what the
ratings are going to look like. If you
want to see the ratings post all the
leakers are posting this. Now, I don't
know what changed between the first day
of ratings and yesterday, uh but the
leaks went absolutely crazy yesterday
and everything from like Premier League
clubs to Liga F to here's Bayern Munich.
We got Dortmund ratings. We have so many
different ratings. This is one of the
cards that I was highlighting yesterday
in one of the Tik Toks that we made. It
was also YouTube short as well.
Szoboszlai looks like a really good
card. I could sit here and talk for a
long time about the ratings, but it just
feels like a moot point right now until
we have everything out in the database.
Just watch out for more official ratings
today from EA and then there's
definitely going to be more leaked
ratings as well. League One there's
going to be more PSG news today. Diwan
or Kema that'll be interesting to take a
look at maybe even some Super League
cards could be leaked as well. One thing
that we were supposed to learn today
that we already learned were the
official La Liga ratings and I think
these leaks are actually wrong because
in this leak they posted 84 and 83 and
even 82 rated Gulashi as the top 27
players for La Liga. They completely
missed the Kounde and the Llorente.
These cards were leaked later. Kounde is
an 85. He should have been in that list.
I mean, that's a downgrade, but uh he's
still an 85 rated and Llorente got an
upgrade from 84 to 85 plus two pace a
rare pace upgrade for a card in FC 27.
That one was pretty crazy there. And
also guys, I did want to highlight this.
If you want to deep dive into the
ratings, the FUT scoreboard app which I
do have on my phone. I This is not an
ad.
Uh it's just an app that I do have on my
phone. It's from the leaker Foot
Scoreboard. He is loading in
some of the in-game stats, which I don't
know how he has this, but he does.
In-game stats of these or some of the
leaked players
that have been put out so far. This is
what's giving us some of that detail uh
like we learned about Szoboszlai, his
five-star weak foot, um and his or
sorry, I think it's a five-star weak
foot, but at least his different
positions that he's got the four-star
weak foot boost for Doku and stuff like
that. That is inside of the Foot
Scoreboard app. Ekitike is going to be
lengthy this year straight off the rip.
He's got 70 agility minus 19 or minus 10
agility. He's got 70 strength as well.
So, with a chem style, he would be
lengthy, I believe. He is 6'1. If he's
only 6' then this this would be false,
but just check out that Foot Scoreboard
app there because that will give you
some more intel and more insight into
the ratings and watch out for more leaks
today. I just tweeted this, man.
One of my favorite players of all time
is now an Evo card. Look at that. 81
rated Heung-Min Son. What a fall from
glory he has had. Still a good card like
honestly for Evos, and I'm very much so
looking forward to this card because you
give me a finesse plus on that, and we
will be vibing. And that'll be an Evo
card that I will love to create, and a
lot of people love to create as well.
But, gone are the days when Sonny is the
best Premier League left mid left wing
in his 200 to 300,000 coins in the first
couple weeks of the game. But, that's
going to be the video for me today,
guys. If you did enjoy, drop a thumbs up
on it. Comment down below if you have
any questions, and subscribe if you're
new. I'll see you guys in the stream
today. I'm going to go finish a couple
Foot Champs games and see if we can have
some good rewards for the stream
tonight. It's been Nathan with the
account. See you there. Peace
out.
