[00:00:01] Hello footies and welcome back to FUT IN REVIEW episode 643. My name is Jon and today it's all about Black Friday. We are Thunderstruck and Yngwie didn't get the budget together to actually use the song today. We'll talk about that in a minute. Yngwie, how you doing my friend?
[00:00:29] I'm a little bit disappointed we couldn't afford the song, but it's in my head at least.
[00:00:35] Can you give a rough number of what the song would cost when we wanted to use it on the show?
[00:00:40] It would cost a house at least, big house.
[00:00:44] That's pretty silly. So no Thunderstruck and I thought actually good idea to have you sing it instead.
[00:00:52] We've not got the royalties for that either, so I'm sorry.
[00:00:56] Ah, gladly pay for that though.
[00:00:59] You can't afford it.
[00:01:01] Oh, don't test me buddy.
[00:01:03] Yngwie, Thunderstruck. Well, there is so much to do. I said two weeks ago, just you guys wait until Black Friday hits.
[00:01:11] And I'm pretty sure because that was the case last year that will be swarmed with SPCs, content, menu grinding, gameplay grinding.
[00:01:19] You could do anything. And my first look is they are gone all out today. I can't even keep up with what's going on.
[00:01:29] How do you find the first? It didn't even this promo notion didn't even start at the regular time. It started early.
[00:01:35] What's your first impression without going into that?
[00:01:40] It's chaotic, I guess. There's so much to go through and you can't do so many things.
[00:01:50] There's content pretty much every hour now at the moment with the flash SPCs and things like that.
[00:01:58] And of course, in certain stores, there are stuff as well.
[00:02:05] And there's a lot of things to kind of keep you busy today if you want to play the game as well.
[00:02:12] Definitely. But before you get busy with this game, I wanted to know though, the first thing we always discuss on a Friday.
[00:02:21] Player in review.
[00:02:22] That was the wrong button, of course.
[00:02:26] Close enough.
[00:02:27] Can you see that I've been away for a week?
[00:02:29] A little rusty.
[00:02:33] I could edit this out, but hey.
[00:02:35] Ingvi, how was your week in food? Let's start there, because then I'll tell all about mine.
[00:02:41] Mixed again.
[00:02:46] Evolutions that came out yesterday and today has kind of made it quite good.
[00:02:56] Lots of things.
[00:02:58] A little bit negative that we've had so many leaks again about what was coming.
[00:03:04] And we have even seen the car design for Team of the Air being leaked already, which is crazy.
[00:03:12] It's a little bit too much now at the moment.
[00:03:14] So I wish that the leakers would kind of slow things down and let people...
[00:03:21] Yeah, that ain't happening, my friend.
[00:03:23] It's so different.
[00:03:24] There's so many popping up with leaks that it's difficult to block everything as well.
[00:03:27] So yeah, it's a little bit too much.
[00:03:32] So I would kind of be more hyped if we had lots of surprises and didn't know almost anything when things were dropping.
[00:03:40] That would have made it a little bit more fun.
[00:03:44] So six this week, I guess, so far.
[00:03:47] That's all right.
[00:03:49] So this is going to be the first time ever that I'm not going to give any rating.
[00:03:56] Because I'm so well disappointed in myself, honestly.
[00:03:59] Exactly.
[00:03:59] I've had such a hectic week, but I knew that in advance, which is why I said last week, don't count on any shorts this week.
[00:04:06] I've been going out nonstop, traveling, working, going out.
[00:04:11] And of course, some of it's food related, but still doesn't translate into doing a show, nor does it translate into me having a controller in my hands.
[00:04:20] So I actually have not played for the whole week since last weekend, which I think I found a pretty good week to actually do so because I absolutely hated this promotion we had in the end.
[00:04:33] I said last week, if you gave a free player, people care.
[00:04:36] If you don't give a free player, this promotion doesn't do anything.
[00:04:40] I did see that made up really well with those evolutions, which you just said.
[00:04:44] Flash evos, or I want to call them.
[00:04:47] Nice work.
[00:04:48] I don't care about evos.
[00:04:49] So for me, it won't change my opinion about the week.
[00:04:53] However, today is going to be the first day that I'm actually back into the flow.
[00:04:59] And I am looking forward to starting with this amount of content.
[00:05:02] So no rating for me, but I'm giving an optimistic 7 out of 10 for next week already.
[00:05:08] Yeah, there's a lot of things coming in the coming days.
[00:05:12] So that could help jump the rating for me as well.
[00:05:17] As long as there's no crazy, strange stuff going on.
[00:05:21] I think we could have a positive number next week as well.
[00:05:25] And even the servers didn't die.
[00:05:27] Well, just for two minutes or something.
[00:05:29] They struggled a little bit, but not as much as usual, which is nice to see.
[00:05:34] Yeah.
[00:05:35] I'm going to give a spoiler already before we start talking about the content though.
[00:05:39] Okay.
[00:05:39] Yeah.
[00:05:40] You said, before I press the red button, the right red button in this time around.
[00:05:46] You said, Yngvi's positive!
[00:05:49] Exclamation mark.
[00:05:51] So this is going to be good content from you.
[00:05:54] Question mark.
[00:05:55] No exclamation mark.
[00:05:57] No exclamation mark.
[00:05:57] No exclamation mark.
[00:06:01] Well, there's a lot of player SBCs which I like.
[00:06:04] And lots of other things as well.
[00:06:06] And people probably have had a chance to see everything popping up and probably done a lot already.
[00:06:13] We've had a flashback Casemiro that came out.
[00:06:18] 88 rated.
[00:06:19] Looks like a solid card for around 200k.
[00:06:24] That was yesterday.
[00:06:26] Today started with a Saka SPZ.
[00:06:32] That is a little bit more expensive.
[00:06:38] Around 650-60k coins.
[00:06:43] And of course this card can be upgraded since the Thunderstruck card.
[00:06:47] Casemiro was a flashback.
[00:06:50] So the Saka card looks good of course.
[00:06:53] Playstyles and everything.
[00:06:54] A little bit expensive maybe.
[00:06:56] Because I'm guessing there's going to be so many others as well.
[00:06:59] So I wouldn't jump on it straight away.
[00:07:01] There's 27 days to go.
[00:07:03] So just be patient.
[00:07:05] Unless you're an Arsenal fan and want to use the card straight away.
[00:07:08] Then it's fair enough to go for it.
[00:07:10] I'll go one step further.
[00:07:12] You only do this card if you're an Arsenal fan.
[00:07:18] Well, that's of course your opinion.
[00:07:22] I can't justify the price for my team.
[00:07:26] It's not a bad card.
[00:07:27] But I think it's kind of double of what I would have paid for the card.
[00:07:32] So that's exactly my point.
[00:07:35] If he was 5 star, 5 star, I'd reconsider.
[00:07:38] Yeah.
[00:07:38] But 4 star, 4 star, he's a good card.
[00:07:40] Don't get me wrong.
[00:07:42] The card design is absolutely fantastic once again.
[00:07:46] Yep.
[00:07:47] The dynamic image is actually pretty cool on this card.
[00:07:50] And I have no beef with any Arsenal fans or whatsoever.
[00:07:56] But it's just a good card.
[00:07:58] It's too expensive for what you get, I think.
[00:08:01] And I think there's going to be more attractive options coming as well.
[00:08:06] Exactly.
[00:08:07] Yeah.
[00:08:08] And we got a player of the month, Vinicius, from the Spanish La Liga.
[00:08:17] So, of course, it's not cheap, of course.
[00:08:23] It's Vinicius.
[00:08:27] It's the player of the month.
[00:08:29] I've shared my thoughts earlier.
[00:08:30] I was hoping that they would make them a little bit more special because he already has a 91 rated card out at the inform.
[00:08:42] Same price.
[00:08:44] Yeah.
[00:08:44] It's a pretty much identical card from what I see at different play styles.
[00:08:52] This one has the rapid plus.
[00:08:57] So, fair enough.
[00:08:59] It's still 5 star, 4 star.
[00:09:02] And if you compare it to his non-inform card, it's plus one on pace, shooting, passing, dribbling.
[00:09:11] And it's a plus two on physical.
[00:09:13] So, if you have the non-inform, I don't think it's worth almost double the price for dynamic image.
[00:09:26] No, I agree.
[00:09:28] I think most of the time...
[00:09:29] It's too much for me.
[00:09:31] Most of the time with these player of the month cards, if it fits your team and you are sort of in the go for it, then it's worth it.
[00:09:39] Yeah.
[00:09:40] But they are, like the good players are usually very expensive.
[00:09:45] And they don't get upgrade.
[00:09:46] They don't get anything special.
[00:09:47] And the upgrades are marginal over the other cards they have.
[00:09:51] If they made them more special, then it would be cool if it was a kind of unique thing for what it did that month.
[00:09:56] You can't make them too cool because then everyone would do these SPCs because they are wildly available.
[00:10:01] And you can't really have that either.
[00:10:04] And he'll get a...
[00:10:05] I'm pretty sure he'll get another player of the month card as well.
[00:10:08] So, I would sit this one out, to be honest.
[00:10:12] Fair enough.
[00:10:12] I think I agree.
[00:10:15] Thank you.
[00:10:16] Thank you, thank you.
[00:10:18] And we got lots of...
[00:10:22] There's some campaign mix, etc.
[00:10:25] Flash challenges, team of the week upgrades, etc.
[00:10:28] Plenty, plenty, plenty.
[00:10:28] But we got another player, SPC.
[00:10:32] From a card we've had lots of joy using during the years since he came as an icon.
[00:10:41] Johan Cruyff celebrating his sixth goal performance against Alkmaar November 29th, 1970.
[00:10:53] So, and he was an incredible player.
[00:10:55] I still remember that.
[00:10:56] I was a little young glad.
[00:10:57] I wasn't even born then, but yeah.
[00:11:02] Incredible player.
[00:11:05] Cruyff.
[00:11:05] Well, he always perform in game, I think, pretty much.
[00:11:09] The card is around 900,000 coins to do from scratch on the consoles, if you're looking just right now when we're recording.
[00:11:22] 88 rated.
[00:11:23] So, he's lower rated than his kind of base card, which is 5 millions.
[00:11:30] So, there's a huge difference.
[00:11:32] That's a fair trade-off, though.
[00:11:33] Yeah.
[00:11:34] And if you look at the stats, the base card, which is 93 rated, most is plus 4 compared to this new card.
[00:11:52] So, it's not like crazy difference either.
[00:11:56] Of course, the card has, yeah.
[00:12:01] There's nothing like kind of missing on the Cruyff card, I think.
[00:12:07] Maybe if you're very critical, it's a balance, but you can boost that with a chemistyle anyways.
[00:12:11] But other than that, it looks like a really good card.
[00:12:15] 90 composure as well.
[00:12:16] 90 reactions.
[00:12:18] Of course, 89 attacking position.
[00:12:20] 90 finishing.
[00:12:22] Maybe 80 shot power, but of course, that's easy to boost as well.
[00:12:26] Good passing.
[00:12:28] Vision.
[00:12:29] 80 stamina is fine for a chem as well.
[00:12:31] Of course, you don't use him for headers with 60 jumping and 59 heading accuracy.
[00:12:37] But double 5-star skill moves on weak foot.
[00:12:40] Awesome, of course.
[00:12:41] He has the playmaker plus plus.
[00:12:43] He has the, that's a chem.
[00:12:46] Shadow striker plus as a chem.
[00:12:49] As a striker, he has advanced forward plus and false 9 plus.
[00:12:54] He should have the false 9 plus plus though, but besides that.
[00:12:58] Yeah, I agree.
[00:12:59] The playstyle plus is Tikitaka scoring six goals.
[00:13:04] I think I would have given him a finesse shot or a power shot for that performance.
[00:13:10] Yeah, but this is the ticky part about this card, Invi.
[00:13:13] He hit and trade.
[00:13:14] He's got 90 short passing and 90 composure with 90 reactions and Tikitaka.
[00:13:20] So he can open up.
[00:13:22] Give him the ball.
[00:13:22] He won't lose the ball.
[00:13:23] He just turns around and just sneaks his way into it.
[00:13:26] Yeah.
[00:13:26] He can pass as well.
[00:13:28] He has the normal chip shot, normal incisive pass as well.
[00:13:31] A normal first touch, flare and trickster.
[00:13:34] So he'll do lots of cool skill moves without having to break your wrist trying to perform them.
[00:13:41] Just press down on the right stick and he'll do something cool.
[00:13:44] And also Trivela, normal.
[00:13:46] So you should be able to score a lot of different type of goals with him.
[00:13:52] So that's why I think it's not an awful price either for that card.
[00:13:59] And of course, he'll fit in Evolution later as well.
[00:14:02] I think it's a perfect card.
[00:14:05] Not because it's the best card in the game or anything like that.
[00:14:08] But I think it's good.
[00:14:09] I think the regular card is 5 million or 4.9.
[00:14:13] How much was he?
[00:14:14] 4.9.
[00:14:15] 4.9 out of reach for most players.
[00:14:18] While a million into an SPC, especially if I look at the average pack weight.
[00:14:26] Let's put it like this.
[00:14:27] Now they change it.
[00:14:29] I think that's actually really good for a 5-star, 5-star player on its own.
[00:14:36] This is a cool way of introducing players that are affordable for everyone, basically.
[00:14:45] I'd rather do a Cruyff than anything near a Vinicius play on a Montcourt.
[00:14:48] Yeah.
[00:14:49] Yeah.
[00:14:49] And there's the highest rated squad you need to do is 88.
[00:14:54] There's 388 rated squad.
[00:14:55] There's 387.
[00:14:58] They're at least doable in 30 days.
[00:15:02] Yeah.
[00:15:03] I'm giving this a big, big plus up.
[00:15:06] I'm not sure if I would do it because I just don't have the space.
[00:15:11] I'm thinking my team.
[00:15:12] Don't have the folder or the coins?
[00:15:14] I don't have the coins.
[00:15:15] I might have the folder.
[00:15:18] It's...
[00:15:19] I don't think it's a must do.
[00:15:21] I think it's definitely good.
[00:15:23] Yeah.
[00:15:23] And you can do, of course, the loan as well to try them out if you want.
[00:15:28] Five matches for an 83 rated squad.
[00:15:31] So...
[00:15:32] They should give those players not five matches, but just three days or something.
[00:15:37] Yeah.
[00:15:37] Three days.
[00:15:38] Well, when it's around about 500,000 coins, yeah.
[00:15:42] I think it should be a few days at least to test them.
[00:15:44] Exactly.
[00:15:44] Give everyone a chance to actually try before they commit.
[00:15:47] And five games with disconnect counters as well and stuff.
[00:15:50] I think it's a bit cheeky.
[00:15:52] Yeah.
[00:15:52] Well, you can play in friendlies with a friend and then you can...
[00:15:56] Yeah.
[00:15:56] Well, I don't have any friends.
[00:15:58] So that's a different topic.
[00:15:59] Different story.
[00:16:00] Yeah.
[00:16:02] So, but it's a cool SPC.
[00:16:04] I think that's a better kind of value than the second one, for me at least.
[00:16:11] So...
[00:16:13] We can't have this, Yngwie.
[00:16:14] This is the second time in this podcast I'm agreeing with you.
[00:16:16] Oh my God.
[00:16:17] We need Chris back to have someone to fight now.
[00:16:20] Yeah.
[00:16:21] By the way...
[00:16:21] Fair enough.
[00:16:22] Chris will be back very, very soon.
[00:16:25] Don't worry about it.
[00:16:26] Just telling it to people.
[00:16:27] Because last week he was stuck on work.
[00:16:29] And this week he's out for drinking, unfortunately.
[00:16:32] Yeah.
[00:16:32] Well, he's got a better excuse than me, I guess.
[00:16:35] Being out with friends and family is nice, of course.
[00:16:38] Definitely.
[00:16:38] One question though, before we go into the themes.
[00:16:40] There's also more content in packs than these teams we now got.
[00:16:45] There are some objectives, of course, as well.
[00:16:50] You can unlock some players that way.
[00:16:52] But also, I packed a weird looking son, which definitely isn't in the team.
[00:16:58] Yeah.
[00:16:59] Yeah.
[00:16:59] There's lots of promo cards in packs now.
[00:17:02] I think there's around...
[00:17:06] 70 team of the week extras added.
[00:17:12] Cards in packs now or something like that.
[00:17:13] Something crazy, at least.
[00:17:17] Really awesome.
[00:17:18] Which is nice.
[00:17:19] I just need the pack weight to go up.
[00:17:23] EA, please.
[00:17:25] You get there.
[00:17:27] And, of course, we have the teams we're going to talk about as well.
[00:17:33] Yes.
[00:17:33] Which team do you want to discuss first?
[00:17:36] We can go with the normal one.
[00:17:37] The normal one.
[00:17:39] Yeah.
[00:17:40] Non-Icons.
[00:17:41] All right.
[00:17:42] Well, I'll get that up.
[00:17:45] So...
[00:17:45] It's important to say, we don't talk about the million, million, million players anymore.
[00:17:48] They're there.
[00:17:49] I hope you pack them.
[00:17:50] But it's not that word especially highlighting them, I guess.
[00:17:56] So, there are upgrades possible for these cards.
[00:18:00] If the clubs they're representing win two matches in the next five domestic league matches,
[00:18:05] they will get a two times playstyle and a roll plus.
[00:18:09] If the club scores six goals in the next five domestic league matches,
[00:18:14] the card will get a plus one overall upgrade and one roll plus.
[00:18:22] That's quite nice.
[00:18:23] Yeah.
[00:18:23] That's for the men's leagues and including the icons.
[00:18:29] These are the men's players, which is cool.
[00:18:32] And, well, you have players representing pretty much a lot of most of the top clubs,
[00:18:41] both for men and women.
[00:18:44] No Dutch teams, though.
[00:18:47] No, maybe in a mini release or something.
[00:18:49] The female players have a different type of upgrade restrictions,
[00:18:58] if you can call it that.
[00:19:00] The club needs to win one match in the five next domestic league matches.
[00:19:06] Still the two times playstyle and a roll plus.
[00:19:09] And score four goals in the next five domestic league matches,
[00:19:13] plus one overall rating will be achieved and a roll plus.
[00:19:17] This is for both the female normal league players and the female icons that's released.
[00:19:25] So that's something to keep in mind.
[00:19:27] So basically easier to upgrade them.
[00:19:31] Yeah.
[00:19:33] So that's...
[00:19:37] Definitely.
[00:19:39] Yeah.
[00:19:39] So there are lots of cards released.
[00:19:44] We had a badge released around 2 p.m. UK today,
[00:19:49] and there came in a few more extra players around content of clock tonight as well.
[00:19:56] So I've seen a sneaky Valverde popped up as possible to pack at least,
[00:20:04] even though he's extinct.
[00:20:05] Yeah, like impossible to pack, but he's there.
[00:20:08] Yeah.
[00:20:09] In theory, you can at least pack him.
[00:20:13] 90-rated card looks very good, of course.
[00:20:17] And you have maybe some more hidden gems.
[00:20:22] You have, I think, Isak could be really good if Newcastle give him a chance to get upgraded.
[00:20:30] 88-rated.
[00:20:32] Looks like his non-inform was really fun in the beginning,
[00:20:35] so his 88-rated card should be quite cool.
[00:20:39] Five-star weight food.
[00:20:41] Good composure.
[00:20:41] 90-90 composure, even.
[00:20:44] Yep.
[00:20:45] Advance forward plus plus.
[00:20:47] Yep.
[00:20:48] And financial plus.
[00:20:50] Yep.
[00:20:51] 90 at attacking position, 90 finishing.
[00:20:54] 94 jumping as well.
[00:20:56] 85 heading accuracy.
[00:20:59] So, yes.
[00:21:02] Good.
[00:21:02] He has a normal first touch as well.
[00:21:04] Rapid tactical.
[00:21:05] So, he'll feel quite good on the ball as well.
[00:21:10] It'll be nice if you get an upgrade too.
[00:21:11] Could be.
[00:21:12] Yep.
[00:21:13] So, I think that's a little bit interesting card at least.
[00:21:18] We have, of course, the Norwegian Kafu Ryerson, the right back.
[00:21:26] Norwegian Kafu.
[00:21:27] Yep.
[00:21:30] All right.
[00:21:31] Julian Ryerson.
[00:21:33] He's actually from a place not far from where I grew up.
[00:21:37] Yeah, I thought I heard a little bit of a bias there, but it's all right.
[00:21:40] Yeah.
[00:21:40] Yeah.
[00:21:40] Just totally by coincidence.
[00:21:44] Looks like a fun, very cheap card.
[00:21:47] He does wing back plus plus also.
[00:21:49] 90 stamina, 90 aggression, 90 defensive awareness.
[00:21:54] That's quite nice.
[00:21:56] And you can put him in evolutions as well.
[00:22:00] Wing back plus plus.
[00:22:01] He can play right back and left back, which he does in real life as well.
[00:22:06] And he has the normal intercept, jockey and anticipate, which is really nice for a defender.
[00:22:11] Relentless.
[00:22:11] Very nice.
[00:22:12] He's got the normal whipped pass, which is awesome.
[00:22:16] And normal technical.
[00:22:19] And he's six foot zero.
[00:22:21] Yes, and cheap as chips.
[00:22:24] Chips, super chips.
[00:22:26] Like 15,000 coins at the moment.
[00:22:29] And this is exactly why we wanted to highlight these players in, because I mean, of course,
[00:22:35] I hope everyone packs rush for them, but by Geuricus, right?
[00:22:39] Yeah.
[00:22:39] Like Kevin De Bruyne, although after playing them this week with final, I don't know if
[00:22:44] they get on the upgrade, but that's a different story.
[00:22:46] Seriously, we should have lost, but that's the difference.
[00:22:49] Like that is a different story.
[00:22:51] But there are so many cards in here that aren't like hundreds, thousands of coins, but are
[00:22:57] still very cool if you pack them.
[00:22:59] Yeah.
[00:23:00] Like Reiten.
[00:23:01] Yes.
[00:23:02] And Gallagher.
[00:23:03] Gallagher.
[00:23:04] Yeah.
[00:23:05] That one I also had on my vision.
[00:23:09] Gallagher has 90 short passing and 88 long passing without any boosts.
[00:23:13] 95 stamina, 91 aggression.
[00:23:15] And intercept plus.
[00:23:17] Yeah.
[00:23:19] While having a playmaker plus plus as well, deploying playmaker as a CM.
[00:23:23] Yeah.
[00:23:23] So that's a little bit of a gem, I guess, as well with block and bruise normal, relentless
[00:23:29] and technical.
[00:23:31] Yeah.
[00:23:32] So yeah.
[00:23:32] Pink pass and incisive pass or passing should be really good as well.
[00:23:35] So I think he can be more than usable.
[00:23:38] Helps English and Spanish league, which is awesome.
[00:23:42] Of course.
[00:23:43] I think that that's a cool card actually.
[00:23:49] Here's a cool card, Invin.
[00:23:50] Yeah.
[00:23:51] Fury.
[00:23:53] Five star skill moves.
[00:23:55] Four star weak foot.
[00:23:57] Can play camp, left midfielder and left winger.
[00:24:01] Okay.
[00:24:02] He's got Trevella plus on him with pass plus technical rapid flare and first touch.
[00:24:09] Right?
[00:24:10] Yep.
[00:24:11] 92 acceleration, 86 sprint speed.
[00:24:14] 92 agility, 90 balance, 90 bow control, 92 dribbling.
[00:24:18] So he's fast.
[00:24:22] I think he's not very, he is five foot 11.
[00:24:26] Like the five star skill move is awesome.
[00:24:28] And he's got perfect Trevella shots.
[00:24:31] This card's cost, hold on to your hands, 11,000 coins.
[00:24:38] Yeah.
[00:24:39] He can get upgraded as well.
[00:24:40] I'm just saying.
[00:24:41] Yeah.
[00:24:42] Normal whip pass, first touch flare, rapid, technical as well.
[00:24:45] So he should feel quite smooth on the ball as well.
[00:24:49] So I think, yeah, he should be.
[00:24:52] How?
[00:24:55] Well, it's, I don't know if it's the Bundesliga or the team he plays for.
[00:25:00] It looks more than usable.
[00:25:04] More than usable?
[00:25:06] Yeah.
[00:25:07] I don't.
[00:25:08] If you're going to be extremely critical, then it's a composure, but this card is going
[00:25:13] to fit an evolution pretty soon, I think as well.
[00:25:16] And he's got winger plus plus on the left midfinger.
[00:25:19] There are many wingers plus plus so far either.
[00:25:22] Most of them are inside forwards.
[00:25:27] Yeah.
[00:25:27] You can make a really good team from very cheap players.
[00:25:33] Yeah.
[00:25:34] Especially if you focus on Bundesliga, because we also have Baumgartner, who's 10k.
[00:25:39] We can use Eikki Teike, which is a pretty cool name.
[00:25:44] As a striker, he's fast.
[00:25:45] I mean, the shooting isn't that good, but he's definitely fast.
[00:25:49] But...
[00:25:49] Fjordwijk on the other side next to...
[00:25:52] Yeah.
[00:25:53] There's so many.
[00:25:54] Yeah, there's...
[00:25:55] Your friend Ryerson, of course.
[00:25:56] Mm-hmm.
[00:25:57] Coffee.
[00:26:01] Yeah.
[00:26:03] A very expensive one in Odisse, which we're not going to discuss.
[00:26:06] But Andrik, like, good at getting center defense midfielder.
[00:26:11] Yeah.
[00:26:13] Yeah, it's a cheap...
[00:26:15] 28k now.
[00:26:17] So, yeah, Bundesliga looks really good and really undervalued, perhaps even.
[00:26:26] Yeah.
[00:26:27] So, yeah.
[00:26:28] And then we haven't even seen the icons yet, Ingrid.
[00:26:31] And my voice actually skipped a beat there out of enthusiasm.
[00:26:36] I could hear you almost cracking up here, crying with joy.
[00:26:41] And the icons, yeah, there are some, yeah, crazy, crazy, crazy icons.
[00:26:48] And there are some, I think, overlooked ones.
[00:26:53] I'm pretty sure.
[00:26:55] We won't see in Russian many teams, but I don't know.
[00:26:59] I like the stats of that card.
[00:27:02] Yeah, so funny story.
[00:27:04] I packed him tonight.
[00:27:06] Yeah.
[00:27:07] I was like, look at those stats.
[00:27:10] 4-star, 4-star, good attacking positioning.
[00:27:14] 92 finishing on the main stat, right?
[00:27:17] 91 deck position, 90 composure.
[00:27:20] 4-star, 4-star.
[00:27:22] Yeah.
[00:27:23] Poacher plus plus.
[00:27:26] Looking at his play styles.
[00:27:27] Got all the shots.
[00:27:28] Power shot, chip shot, financial, power header.
[00:27:30] And first touch plus.
[00:27:31] Trivella and aerial.
[00:27:33] Yeah.
[00:27:34] I was like, what did I just pack?
[00:27:36] Is there actually an Ian Rush card that actually looks...
[00:27:38] It's really good right now.
[00:27:40] Yngwie, what's his cost?
[00:27:44] The 2,000 coins.
[00:27:46] 2,000 coins already.
[00:27:48] He's dropping.
[00:27:49] Yeah.
[00:27:50] He's okay for an 88 rated striker with stats in all the right places.
[00:27:54] And that could get upgraded.
[00:27:57] Yeah.
[00:28:01] Why are we even talking about the Zidane's and Gurds?
[00:28:04] I mean, they are way better.
[00:28:06] Don't get me wrong.
[00:28:07] But the difference is huge.
[00:28:10] Yeah.
[00:28:10] I don't...
[00:28:11] He can do a job.
[00:28:12] I'm pretty sure that he'll do well.
[00:28:16] Stats are all good.
[00:28:17] And then play styles, et cetera.
[00:28:18] So, yeah.
[00:28:20] Crazy good value, I'd say.
[00:28:22] And, of course, with icon links would help linking other players as well.
[00:28:26] And if you want to, you can also go for his former best teammate, John Barnes.
[00:28:32] It's around 145,000 coins or something.
[00:28:38] Also four star, four star.
[00:28:40] Yeah.
[00:28:42] With technical plus.
[00:28:45] Can play cam as well.
[00:28:47] Yep.
[00:28:48] And, yeah, he's...
[00:28:50] Also 90 composure, 92 dribbling, 91 ball control.
[00:28:55] 90 stamina as well.
[00:28:56] How can these players be sweet?
[00:28:57] This is...
[00:28:58] Like, I know we've been, like, saying this a couple of weeks now that if you don't focus
[00:29:03] on the expensive players, but focus on the players that would suit your team and are really
[00:29:07] good, these prices are...
[00:29:11] Sure, I mean, the Mateus, Zidane, Schullitz, an affordable way.
[00:29:15] But the cards below there aren't that much.
[00:29:19] Like, Barnes is...
[00:29:23] I wouldn't say one of the best left finger, but if you face him, I'm pretty sure you have
[00:29:27] a tough time, eh?
[00:29:28] Yeah.
[00:29:30] I've struggled versus the base, so...
[00:29:32] But that's me, of course.
[00:29:34] And, yeah.
[00:29:35] If you want a good CDM, which has only one fault, I can't understand why EA did it.
[00:29:43] I'm talking about Roy Keane.
[00:29:45] Oh, quite good too, so I thought.
[00:29:47] Nope.
[00:29:48] Roy Keane.
[00:29:48] He has 90 composure, he has 91 reactions, he has 92 stamina, he has 94 aggression, which
[00:29:54] is fair enough, 85 strength, 90 short passing, 87 long passing, 85 vision, 8 acceleration sprint
[00:30:03] speed, 3-style skill moves, 4-style equipment, fine.
[00:30:08] He has the box-to-box plus, he has the holding plus, deep playing playmaker plus, and playmaker
[00:30:15] plus.
[00:30:16] Play styles are ping pass plus, first touch normal, press prover normal, intercept normal,
[00:30:23] slide tackle normal, and relentless.
[00:30:26] But why EA didn't you give him a CDM position?
[00:30:30] Yes.
[00:30:31] Well...
[00:30:32] That's pretty much the most CDM type of player you can find.
[00:30:35] If you're wondering why this player is so cheap, I think they messed up in this case.
[00:30:41] Because I was like, you said to me, look at the Roy Keane card, and I was like, what?
[00:30:46] 40k?
[00:30:46] Okay, I'll get it.
[00:30:47] I almost clicked the buy now button, and then I saw there's no CDM position.
[00:30:51] I'm like, wait, what?
[00:30:53] What now?
[00:30:54] Yeah.
[00:30:55] His normal base card has CM as well, but he's like, he was a CDM over CDM.
[00:31:05] I don't know why he doesn't have the 94 interceptions as well, so he should have had CDM.
[00:31:15] 100%.
[00:31:16] Talk about CDM though.
[00:31:19] Gattuso.
[00:31:22] He's cheap as well.
[00:31:23] 60,000 coins.
[00:31:26] This feels like Christmas, Envy.
[00:31:30] Yeah, but I think Gattuso is, well, not as good passing.
[00:31:36] That's probably what...
[00:31:37] He's a CDM.
[00:31:39] Yeah, he has at least a CDM.
[00:31:41] But he has CM as well, so...
[00:31:43] True, I think Keane is a mistake, but...
[00:31:46] Him having CDM holding plus plus on him.
[00:31:49] He's got 91 defensive awareness, 92 standing tackle, 90 slide tackle, 93 interceptions,
[00:31:56] 92 stamina, 94 regression, and 93 reactions, Envy.
[00:32:02] This man is...
[00:32:03] It feels like the madman he was, in a good way.
[00:32:06] Yeah, he has relentless plus, so that, of course...
[00:32:10] I would rather prefer them to give him maybe a slide tackle plus or something
[00:32:15] that would fit his style more.
[00:32:17] But, of course, he has the normal bruiser, intercept, and jockey, which is nice.
[00:32:20] Ping pass is nice.
[00:32:25] But I'm sure you won't see him much in many teams for some reason.
[00:32:32] Could be.
[00:32:34] I don't get it.
[00:32:36] No, but...
[00:32:37] 65 dribbling is not ideal.
[00:32:40] CDM.
[00:32:41] I know.
[00:32:41] Blocks a...
[00:32:42] Pass the player.
[00:32:44] In his case, he throws him out of the pitch, and then he passes the ball sideways.
[00:32:48] That's it.
[00:32:49] All he has to do.
[00:32:50] He's a destroyer.
[00:32:51] He's a destroyer.
[00:32:52] For that role, the stats are perfect pretty much.
[00:32:55] So, yeah.
[00:32:59] I might just buy him, just to try him, because I think it could be a really cool card.
[00:33:05] I still think if he can fit the Keen card in some kind of formation with a CM, I think he will be quite crazy.
[00:33:15] Breaking up play as well.
[00:33:16] So, I don't think you can go...
[00:33:19] You can't go wrong with them.
[00:33:22] So, for the prices, you can build a crazy team.
[00:33:28] It's that easy.
[00:33:30] It's like you don't need millions to build a good team at the moment.
[00:33:35] Is that what you want?
[00:33:38] That's the good thing about this problem, because there's so many players in packs now, and you will get affordable players, which is nice.
[00:33:47] So, um...
[00:33:50] How good does Jero look as well?
[00:33:53] He also...
[00:33:55] With a shadow.
[00:33:56] 88 and 88 sprint speed.
[00:33:58] So, 88 on speed.
[00:34:01] 99 interceptions, 98 heading accuracy, 98 defensive awareness, 99 standing tackle, 90 slide tackle.
[00:34:12] 130,000 coins.
[00:34:14] Yeah, and defender plus.
[00:34:18] Defender plus plus and bruiser plus.
[00:34:21] He's got long ball pass normal, which is...
[00:34:24] I know lots of people love to have on their center backs.
[00:34:27] With the power header and aerial normal.
[00:34:32] So...
[00:34:32] The only thing is, he's based on Real Madrid performance.
[00:34:35] So, I'm not sure he gets an upgrade.
[00:34:39] Well...
[00:34:40] They'll score six times.
[00:34:41] No, we don't get in.
[00:34:42] I'm kidding.
[00:34:43] Yeah, I think he should be able to.
[00:34:45] Yeah, that's also a very good value...
[00:34:48] Very good value player at the moment.
[00:34:53] Yngwie, what's your plan in this promotion?
[00:34:57] You see, this is day one.
[00:34:59] And they go nuts.
[00:35:02] Well, I...
[00:35:02] You don't have to follow you just said to me, but let's say...
[00:35:05] Is there a target for you to do here?
[00:35:08] Or a way you want to enjoy yourself?
[00:35:11] I'm going to try to get a decent run in champs.
[00:35:16] I need to do some squad battles to be able to get some of these tokens there as well.
[00:35:22] I'll do it on the way, which is good now.
[00:35:23] I put that you can do the evolutions in champs as well.
[00:35:33] You can do them in rush, rivals, champs, or squad battles.
[00:35:39] Because many of those players for the flash ones, they are already usable.
[00:35:43] Many have them in their normal team already.
[00:35:46] And you can do it while playing champs, which is a big bonus.
[00:35:49] And it's like one to two matches you need to play.
[00:35:52] I think three maybe in total for most of these flash ones, which is nice.
[00:35:59] So you can do everything pretty much.
[00:36:03] Just by playing champs or doing the squad battles.
[00:36:06] So that's a big, big win.
[00:36:09] EA changed those requirements.
[00:36:12] So I'll do evolutions.
[00:36:14] I'll do champs.
[00:36:15] I'll do squad battles.
[00:36:18] And I'll look at rivals next week.
[00:36:21] And are you swapping things around?
[00:36:25] I'm swapping things.
[00:36:27] Well, I'm hoping to get some swap tokens at least.
[00:36:30] I spent some coins for my team on players.
[00:36:33] So I'm very low on coins at the moment.
[00:36:36] What's these swaps all about?
[00:36:37] Because I don't understand.
[00:36:39] Or maybe I do, but I just hoped you can explain it better than I will.
[00:36:43] Yeah.
[00:36:44] Because it's back.
[00:36:44] We get tokens.
[00:36:45] My most boring mode.
[00:36:47] But maybe this year is a little bit different.
[00:36:50] It's called Black Friday Mode Mastery.
[00:36:56] And it's a brand new Mode Mastery program.
[00:37:00] It's basically swaps from earlier years.
[00:37:03] So you play champs.
[00:37:04] How do they make all these names?
[00:37:06] I'm just thinking.
[00:37:07] I heard it like Monday morning sessions.
[00:37:09] It has to be four words.
[00:37:11] Oh, let's do Black Friday Mode Mastery.
[00:37:16] Mode Mastery.
[00:37:17] Sure.
[00:37:18] Champs Mastery, Rivals Mastery, and Squad Battle.
[00:37:20] So you get tokens from each of those three modes.
[00:37:24] Which I think is fine.
[00:37:29] The only thing is a little bit confusing.
[00:37:31] There's a maximum of 28 players slash tokens.
[00:37:38] With one additional squad battles type, champions type, and rivals item slash type.
[00:37:47] Available in the store in the final week.
[00:37:49] So that's going to cost you coins.
[00:37:53] And you will have lots of kind of SPCs to do to unlock with these tokens.
[00:38:02] So depending on how many you can get.
[00:38:05] There's a certain amount of wins you need.
[00:38:07] I think it's 13 wins and above in champs.
[00:38:11] It gives you a pack of three tokens.
[00:38:13] And I think it's from 9 to 11 champs wins.
[00:38:19] You get a pack of two tokens.
[00:38:23] And below that you will get one token.
[00:38:29] Sounds about right.
[00:38:31] Yep.
[00:38:31] And for squad battles, I think you need Elite 2 or higher to get a pack of two tokens.
[00:38:39] And I think it's silver 1 and upwards till Elite 1.
[00:38:44] And Elite 1 as well.
[00:38:45] You get one token.
[00:38:48] And four rivals.
[00:38:50] I am not 100% sure.
[00:38:56] No, that's all right.
[00:38:57] Because it doesn't...
[00:39:00] Well, you can see it inside the game.
[00:39:02] You can't see it on the apps.
[00:39:04] But I think if you get from Division 4 and upwards till...
[00:39:12] I think it's 1 or something.
[00:39:16] 1 or...
[00:39:17] Yeah, until 1, I think.
[00:39:18] Then you can get...
[00:39:19] If you get the upgraded weekend rewards, I think you get a pack of two.
[00:39:23] And I think from Division 8 to Division 5, I think you can get maximum a pack of one.
[00:39:29] I think you need the upgraded rewards.
[00:39:33] No, you don't, I think, actually.
[00:39:36] I think you can get it for five wins as well.
[00:39:38] But I can't see it on the web app.
[00:39:40] No, it's the web app.
[00:39:40] I was just about to say it.
[00:39:42] The web is a little bit iffy, but...
[00:39:43] So I was hoping EA would release a little bit more information.
[00:39:46] Kind of explain it even more.
[00:39:48] Some pitch notes or something.
[00:39:49] But I haven't seen anything.
[00:39:51] Maybe they will come...
[00:39:52] With something.
[00:39:54] And hopefully.
[00:39:55] Because it's a little bit up in the air.
[00:39:59] Yeah.
[00:39:59] At the moment.
[00:40:00] But I used to like the swaps.
[00:40:04] I'll need to see what happens when I unlock packs with these things in it to see what's coming.
[00:40:11] We don't know exactly if you can get duplicates.
[00:40:15] You can.
[00:40:15] I just checked.
[00:40:16] I just got confirmations.
[00:40:17] Yeah.
[00:40:18] So that's a little bit annoying.
[00:40:22] At least for me.
[00:40:23] Yeah.
[00:40:23] Because there are some tokens which you would never want to use in any of these SPCs.
[00:40:30] There are some really good cards you can unlock.
[00:40:32] More than usable.
[00:40:33] 90 rated cards.
[00:40:34] There are cards from 85 to 90 you can unlock.
[00:40:38] So you just have to kind of keep an eye out if you release some more information.
[00:40:46] But there are some examples we can give quickly.
[00:40:49] The kind of main mode mastery.
[00:40:54] The kind of main mode mastery SPC section will show you what you need five tokens.
[00:40:58] Any tokens.
[00:40:59] For example, Pascal Gross from Dortmund.
[00:41:03] And you can get a hero pick between base Guvoo and Marquisio for five tokens.
[00:41:12] You can need 10 tokens for Kim Little, 90 rated.
[00:41:17] And there's more like there's one based on squad battles only.
[00:41:21] So you need four squad battle tokens.
[00:41:25] And then to unlock an 88 rated Raspadori.
[00:41:31] And kind of the star of the shows.
[00:41:34] If you go for rivals, you need eight tokens to unlock Anzufati, 89 rated.
[00:41:41] For eight champions, for champs tokens only, you can unlock Nkunku.
[00:41:47] But I think many will go for the 18 token.
[00:41:52] You can combine any of these from squad battles, rivals and champs.
[00:41:57] For the 91 rated Rodrigo.
[00:42:00] Looks really good.
[00:42:03] If you look at Rodrigo and if you look at his player roles.
[00:42:09] John, have you seen?
[00:42:12] He's got so many roles.
[00:42:14] It's like he can play right mid, right wing and striker.
[00:42:20] He's got a advanced 4++ as a striker.
[00:42:24] And as a right winger, we got inside 4++, which is crazy good as well.
[00:42:28] And he's got normal for winger playmaker and right winger.
[00:42:34] And right mid has a winger normal inside forward, white midfielder, white playmaker.
[00:42:39] And striker also has the normal poacher, false knight and target forward.
[00:42:43] So he can kind of be used everywhere almost in attack.
[00:42:51] Very, yeah.
[00:42:52] He should perform well in pretty much every position and formation almost.
[00:42:56] Technical plus.
[00:42:57] A normal flare dead ball and finesse.
[00:43:02] So...
[00:43:02] Like these guards are good, but I'm more surprised by the fact the swap tokens themselves are pretty good.
[00:43:13] We used to have 60 rated guards to toss into, right?
[00:43:17] At the end of the year, you were going to your club and like, yeah.
[00:43:20] Huh?
[00:43:20] What did this color mean again?
[00:43:23] Yeah.
[00:43:25] It's changed.
[00:43:27] So, yeah, now there are usable players.
[00:43:29] And I like it that EA have players from lower leagues as well, which will be good to be used and will be good for evolutions as well.
[00:43:37] So props to EA for including those.
[00:43:41] And of course, a little bit of banter as well on some of these cards.
[00:43:48] For example, our good friend and host, Daniel, the Reading fan, Louis Wing, got an 85 rated card, which is normally CM and CDM.
[00:44:02] But with the banter wing in the name, EA found it funny to include the right wing and left wing position as well.
[00:44:09] You know, fortunately, I can't find it to put on the screen, but hey.
[00:44:13] So...
[00:44:14] But that is...
[00:44:14] I mean, that is fun.
[00:44:16] That's what...
[00:44:17] That's really cool.
[00:44:17] And that's usable cards from lower league, which is nice.
[00:44:20] There's one from Rexham as well, Paul Mullins.
[00:44:23] I should have put Ryan Reynolds in this.
[00:44:27] But if you're really lucky and don't pack a dupe or anything, you can actually pack a 90 rated Robin Goossens, a 90 rated Marc Sens Lacroix, and a 90 rated Nathan Teller, for example.
[00:44:42] Which is quite crazy.
[00:44:43] You can also pack a 90 rated, which is crazy.
[00:44:48] And you can also pack a 90 rated, which is also crazy.
[00:45:01] There's Lucas Silva, a 90 rated as well.
[00:45:07] Olga Carmona, 90 rated.
[00:45:12] That's just a few to mention.
[00:45:14] There's so many cool cards you can get from these.
[00:45:18] I saw a lot of people complaining about this situation.
[00:45:21] Because they say, why do we have to toss in a 90 rated player?
[00:45:26] You don't have to.
[00:45:27] You don't have to.
[00:45:28] Exactly.
[00:45:29] In my case, I don't...
[00:45:31] Like, I'm not going to grind down all these tokens.
[00:45:34] I always said, I like the fact that it's there.
[00:45:37] I've never done it because at the time...
[00:45:41] Well, this time it's a little bit different.
[00:45:42] But at the time you could unlock it off for a couple of weeks.
[00:45:45] Let's say you're three weeks in, then you could get that good card.
[00:45:48] Three weeks later, my team would have catched up anyways.
[00:45:51] Not without doing the grind either.
[00:45:53] So I've never done it because I think it was pretty much a waste.
[00:45:56] But now you can sort of at least do it and see if you maybe pack one of those cool players along the way.
[00:46:03] And if you do pack them, you say, you know what?
[00:46:05] I'm going to keep this card.
[00:46:06] You're not going to grind any further.
[00:46:08] And it was very successful anyways.
[00:46:10] So you get rewarded either left through getting a cool player or right to getting your target.
[00:46:16] I think it's a pretty...
[00:46:18] Worst case scenario, it pulls them into an SBC.
[00:46:20] A 90-rated card, it pulls them into an SBC envy.
[00:46:22] Yeah.
[00:46:23] So that's...
[00:46:24] To go to Sword Grave.
[00:46:25] Yeah.
[00:46:26] And while we have been talking, EA have released another flashback, it seems.
[00:46:34] Edison Cavani.
[00:46:36] I was just about to say, these are blue card pop-up.
[00:46:39] Yeah.
[00:46:40] You have 23, 24 hours to unlock him.
[00:46:46] It's around 20k to do.
[00:46:47] 184 rated squad.
[00:46:49] Three star skimmers.
[00:46:50] Five star weak foot.
[00:46:52] Six foot one.
[00:46:53] 93 composure.
[00:46:55] Of course, insanely good.
[00:46:56] Attacking position.
[00:46:58] 98 finishing.
[00:47:05] 90 aggression.
[00:47:06] 88 jumping.
[00:47:08] 93 heading accuracy.
[00:47:10] 86 vision.
[00:47:12] 85 short pass.
[00:47:14] 89 curve.
[00:47:15] He has the poacher plus plus.
[00:47:17] Target forward and advanced forward.
[00:47:20] Power header plus power shot.
[00:47:23] Power shot normal.
[00:47:25] Chip shot normal.
[00:47:26] And power header plus first touch normal.
[00:47:29] Technical as well.
[00:47:30] So, I think that's...
[00:47:32] A must do.
[00:47:33] I'm just going to name it here.
[00:47:34] It's a must do.
[00:47:35] For 20k, I think it's worth doing.
[00:47:37] Well, he's actually...
[00:47:40] Yeah, he plays in the Sudamerica.
[00:47:43] But I think that you can link him with...
[00:47:47] You have Francescoli, Darwin, Nunez.
[00:47:50] Again, even if you're not linking him.
[00:47:52] In V.
[00:47:53] You put those...
[00:47:55] You toss someone in...
[00:47:56] Either you toss him in on super shot,
[00:47:57] but he's still zero chemistry.
[00:47:59] Won't get any bonuses.
[00:48:00] And he's got a power header plus.
[00:48:02] So, you might just toss a ball in and see where it goes.
[00:48:04] Yeah.
[00:48:05] Or you play him at zero chemistry.
[00:48:06] Who cares?
[00:48:07] Yeah, five star weak foot.
[00:48:09] That's awesome.
[00:48:11] 20k.
[00:48:12] I mean, I kind of dig this.
[00:48:14] Because what it does do...
[00:48:15] If you've been tapped out of the game,
[00:48:17] I think this is the most important thing about this promotion.
[00:48:19] If you've been tapped out of this game
[00:48:21] because it was too grindy.
[00:48:23] Also, weakly changed.
[00:48:25] Just saying.
[00:48:26] Also, like the qualification.
[00:48:28] Three out of six now.
[00:48:29] Also, well done.
[00:48:30] Yep.
[00:48:31] Awesome.
[00:48:32] There's so much going on.
[00:48:33] But they're changing so much, we can't even keep up.
[00:48:35] But also bringing out these cheap cards.
[00:48:37] Giving those cheap icons available.
[00:48:39] Giving the good icons to grind towards
[00:48:40] for not too much coins.
[00:48:42] Those flash SPCs.
[00:48:44] Those evolutions.
[00:48:45] Flash evolutions, like you call them.
[00:48:47] All good things.
[00:48:49] Sure, the big players are still out of reach.
[00:48:51] Sure, if you're a good player,
[00:48:53] you still get better rewards.
[00:48:54] But hey, who cares?
[00:48:56] I mean, good for you.
[00:48:57] Right?
[00:48:59] But I'm quite digging what's going on here.
[00:49:03] I'm just so bugged off about the fact
[00:49:06] that it took so long to get here.
[00:49:09] Yeah.
[00:49:10] And hopefully in the next gameplay patch
[00:49:14] is coming as well to make it even more fun
[00:49:16] to play and use these new cards.
[00:49:20] Do you know what's also fun?
[00:49:22] Let's see if I can find the right button this time.
[00:49:24] Okay?
[00:49:30] Community team of the week.
[00:49:32] I did it!
[00:49:35] Community team of the week.
[00:49:37] We've been having some rough weeks
[00:49:39] with our personnel on Fridays.
[00:49:42] But we're back here.
[00:49:44] We can't do...
[00:49:45] We haven't joked that clue,
[00:49:46] but we will once we get a tree show
[00:49:47] back on Fridays.
[00:49:48] What we do have is
[00:49:49] the community team of the week.
[00:49:50] Remember, if you are on Discord,
[00:49:52] which is totally free,
[00:49:53] you just have to download the app.
[00:49:55] You can click on the link
[00:49:56] in the show description
[00:49:57] and you get invited
[00:49:58] to our active community page.
[00:50:00] You can also join our Patreon,
[00:50:07] nice discount
[00:50:08] with the code in description as well
[00:50:11] for your first month
[00:50:11] or your first year,
[00:50:13] which saves you a whole lot of money
[00:50:15] and still supports us.
[00:50:17] But one other thing you can do
[00:50:18] on the Discord is
[00:50:20] you can go to our specialized
[00:50:22] community team of the week.
[00:50:25] You can make a post,
[00:50:27] keep that for the whole season
[00:50:28] and update your latest team.
[00:50:32] And every Friday,
[00:50:34] Yngwie gives me a message saying
[00:50:35] this was the most fun,
[00:50:37] the most creative
[00:50:38] or simply the best team
[00:50:40] I've seen this week.
[00:50:41] And you get a shout out
[00:50:43] on the show
[00:50:44] while we put a team
[00:50:46] on the visual show as well.
[00:50:47] And this week, Yngwie,
[00:50:49] you not only picked a special team,
[00:50:51] but you also picked a special team
[00:50:53] from a special person
[00:50:56] who unfortunately isn't doing,
[00:50:59] well, is doing better currently,
[00:51:01] but he's in the hospital
[00:51:02] and we just want to say
[00:51:04] that we wish him all the best
[00:51:06] and a speedy recovery.
[00:51:08] But nevertheless,
[00:51:09] he put in a great team.
[00:51:11] You can announce it, buddy.
[00:51:13] Yeah, it's Food Grandad's team
[00:51:16] and I kind of just,
[00:51:20] wow, this is cool.
[00:51:21] I like it.
[00:51:22] There's like,
[00:51:23] it was shining,
[00:51:25] shining towards me
[00:51:26] and saying that
[00:51:27] there are some cool things here,
[00:51:29] like almost hidden as well.
[00:51:32] So you have to name the players though
[00:51:34] because he did use a potato
[00:51:35] to make a screenshot, I think.
[00:51:38] Yeah, we got the normal
[00:51:40] and Mikey Magnan
[00:51:41] as goalkeeper.
[00:51:43] And I think it's Kalulu right back.
[00:51:45] It's an evolution type of player,
[00:51:47] 85 rated, looks cool.
[00:51:48] And of course,
[00:51:49] the end of an era,
[00:51:51] Varane,
[00:51:52] Inigo Martinez,
[00:51:54] Trackstar,
[00:51:55] and 86 rated evolution,
[00:51:57] Ferlamendi,
[00:51:58] and Inform Pajor
[00:52:00] as CDM.
[00:52:02] And of course,
[00:52:03] Normal,
[00:52:04] Aitana Bonvati
[00:52:05] and Puteas
[00:52:06] as the center mids.
[00:52:07] And he's got really good
[00:52:09] player roles
[00:52:10] on these players as well.
[00:52:11] Most of them have pluses
[00:52:12] and plus plus.
[00:52:14] And of course,
[00:52:15] there is
[00:52:16] Graham Hansen
[00:52:17] as right winger
[00:52:18] with the purple evolution,
[00:52:20] which is really cool.
[00:52:21] I like the colors.
[00:52:22] He has the non-inform
[00:52:24] Finesse King
[00:52:25] Griezmann
[00:52:27] up top.
[00:52:28] It's the only
[00:52:29] disadvantage of this team.
[00:52:30] I'm not done.
[00:52:31] There's some cool things
[00:52:33] I'm going to mention
[00:52:33] afterwards as well.
[00:52:34] And of course,
[00:52:36] the Trackstar
[00:52:36] Salma
[00:52:37] card is really cool.
[00:52:39] And what
[00:52:40] I like about this team
[00:52:42] is like it's kind of
[00:52:43] color symmetry.
[00:52:44] If you look,
[00:52:46] the non-inform goalkeeper
[00:52:47] and the striker
[00:52:48] are both goal cards.
[00:52:50] Then the two
[00:52:51] center mids
[00:52:52] are goal cards.
[00:52:54] Then you have
[00:52:55] the center back
[00:52:56] and left winger
[00:52:56] are the Trackstars.
[00:52:59] The full backs
[00:52:59] are Evolutions.
[00:53:01] And then you have
[00:53:02] the kind of
[00:53:05] purple right winger
[00:53:06] and Varan
[00:53:07] center back.
[00:53:09] And it's like,
[00:53:10] wow,
[00:53:10] I really like this.
[00:53:11] It's cool players.
[00:53:12] There are some
[00:53:12] cool evolutions.
[00:53:13] There are some
[00:53:15] cool cards.
[00:53:15] And it's like,
[00:53:17] it's set up
[00:53:17] really nicely.
[00:53:18] Like if you have OCD,
[00:53:19] this is a really nice
[00:53:20] and comforting team
[00:53:22] to look at.
[00:53:22] Probably why I didn't
[00:53:23] see it,
[00:53:23] but it is actually,
[00:53:25] now I do.
[00:53:25] I can't unsee it anymore.
[00:53:27] You can't unsee it anymore.
[00:53:29] There's something cool.
[00:53:31] Wow.
[00:53:32] He's got everything
[00:53:32] set up right.
[00:53:33] I really love it.
[00:53:34] It's really cool.
[00:53:35] So yeah,
[00:53:36] thanks for sharing.
[00:53:38] That's a pretty cool thing.
[00:53:39] Congrats,
[00:53:40] mate.
[00:53:40] And well,
[00:53:41] speedy recovery to you.
[00:53:42] Hopefully you'll be on demand soon
[00:53:44] and we'll be back.
[00:53:45] Well,
[00:53:45] he's actually live listening to us,
[00:53:47] which you can also do
[00:53:47] if you are a Discord member.
[00:53:50] Awesome that he can listen live for us.
[00:53:52] Yeah,
[00:53:52] I love it.
[00:53:53] So congratulations,
[00:53:54] Food Grandpa.
[00:53:55] Invy,
[00:53:56] at this stage,
[00:53:57] I just want to play,
[00:53:59] if I'm honest,
[00:54:00] just grind away,
[00:54:02] see if that new
[00:54:03] Soln I packed
[00:54:04] is actually any good.
[00:54:07] Yeah.
[00:54:08] Rush as a striker
[00:54:09] could be nice.
[00:54:10] Let's see how that goes.
[00:54:11] You need to try Rush.
[00:54:12] I need a review of him.
[00:54:15] Well,
[00:54:16] just buy him,
[00:54:17] 30k,
[00:54:17] just buy him.
[00:54:18] Yeah,
[00:54:19] I'm probably gonna do that.
[00:54:21] Then I'll hype him up on Monday.
[00:54:22] You'll make a big profit.
[00:54:24] Okay,
[00:54:25] profit.
[00:54:27] Super trading.
[00:54:28] 5% tax reduction.
[00:54:30] You got whopping 1200 coins
[00:54:32] on your player profit.
[00:54:35] Seriously though,
[00:54:36] I think we can't go for all
[00:54:38] in these crazy,
[00:54:40] hectic,
[00:54:40] speedy times.
[00:54:41] But the good news is
[00:54:42] we'll be back with shorts next week.
[00:54:44] At least that is my plan.
[00:54:46] So,
[00:54:47] we'll see you back this Monday.
[00:54:51] There's Lisa's,
[00:54:52] Invy,
[00:54:52] with just one tiny thing
[00:54:55] left for us to do.
[00:54:56] And that is to
[00:54:57] drop it.
[00:54:59] Drop it.
[00:55:04] You.
[00:55:07] You.
