[00:00:00] [SPEAKER_00]: Hello footies and welcome to our short form content update show which I like to nominate

[00:00:06] [SPEAKER_00]: and name for while I am here alone. Welcome to FUT IN REVIEW SHORTS. Three times a week we'll

[00:00:14] [SPEAKER_00]: talk you through the latest released content, share our thoughts and opinions about it so you

[00:00:19] [SPEAKER_00]: don't have to miss a thing, and of course the other two Workweek days we'll be recording the big shows.

[00:00:25] [SPEAKER_00]: So there's daily content updates from Tuesday morning to Saturday morning all released at 8am

[00:00:32] [SPEAKER_00]: UK. And of course if you are a Patreon go to patreon.com forward slash FUTINREVIEW to get

[00:00:37] [SPEAKER_00]: all this content much much earlier. My name is John, today is Wednesday September 25th and I'll

[00:00:48] [SPEAKER_00]: be looking at Team of the Week 2, Player of the Month Thuram, highlight an SPC from yesterday

[00:00:54] [SPEAKER_00]: namely Watt, and check out an awesome evolution namely the Sprint Supreme. Let's start with one

[00:01:04] [SPEAKER_00]: that came out yesterday let's start with Watt shall we and of course this is pretty new for me

[00:01:12] [SPEAKER_00]: as well so I am if you're looking at the video show actually I should say like this if you're

[00:01:20] [SPEAKER_00]: watching this you can actually see the players on screen as well so if everything works we all

[00:01:25] [SPEAKER_00]: should be able to see them now. Now let's talk about Watt shall we so Ellie Watt is a striker

[00:01:31] [SPEAKER_00]: 85 rated and the SPC comes in at around 8000 9000 coins approximately I think 8650 currently sets

[00:01:41] [SPEAKER_00]: but it's one challenge as we see it's really easy to do she's a three star three star player

[00:01:48] [SPEAKER_00]: um controlled she is from Orlando Pride and of course from the USA not easy to start off with

[00:01:57] [SPEAKER_00]: right now but she has some cool features which actually I think she might be an underrated player

[00:02:02] [SPEAKER_00]: for 9000 coins let's put it a little bit higher for 9000 coins I don't think you can get wrong

[00:02:09] [SPEAKER_00]: you can go wrong with Ellie Watt because she is really fast 89 acceleration and 90 sprint speed

[00:02:17] [SPEAKER_00]: but that's not all what I like really a lot on this card is the fact she has 88 finishing 90

[00:02:25] [SPEAKER_00]: attacking position with 83 shot power of course the 83 shot power isn't that good but 90 of 88

[00:02:31] [SPEAKER_00]: finishing at the start of the game that is really good if you look at the dribbling stats then she

[00:02:37] [SPEAKER_00]: has 92 reaction 90 ball control as well and I think with 82 composure even if she can't start

[00:02:46] [SPEAKER_00]: in your main team this is a terrific sub to bring in and for eight or nine thousand coins like I said

[00:02:52] [SPEAKER_00]: before you really can't go wrong she can play striker and right midfielder I think uh right

[00:02:59] [SPEAKER_00]: the winger as well but she only has as rules for advanced forward and posture for striker

[00:03:06] [SPEAKER_00]: advanced forward plus and poacher plus and from the right midfield she has winger plus

[00:03:13] [SPEAKER_00]: all well if I look at this card right and you throw something up that even

[00:03:18] [SPEAKER_00]: excels her finishing maybe even I wanted to say maybe put a sniper on it but a sniper of course

[00:03:26] [SPEAKER_00]: doesn't do it so let's say you put a hark or marksman on let's say you put a marksman on

[00:03:31] [SPEAKER_00]: she goes to 98 ball control 96 reactions 91 dribbling with 96 shot power and

[00:03:38] [SPEAKER_00]: and I think concerning her speed she doesn't need to be much fast I think this is a card

[00:03:45] [SPEAKER_00]: I personally am doing just to keep her on the bench and of course later on

[00:03:50] [SPEAKER_00]: you might be able to evolution her but it's not something I'm very mindful of

[00:03:54] [SPEAKER_00]: but you can with this card probably later on use her for objectives because you'll probably

[00:04:01] [SPEAKER_00]: need female players and especially from the USA later on so Ali what's what I should say

[00:04:08] [SPEAKER_00]: for me terrific card and I would recommend just doing her for that kind of money it's

[00:04:14] [SPEAKER_00]: as expensive as one of those new 77 or what was it yesterday the 83 upgrades

[00:04:19] [SPEAKER_00]: I would go for uh Ali Watts in this situation next one pretty awesome looking card of course

[00:04:27] [SPEAKER_00]: I'm talking about Marcus to Roman 85 rated striker his regular card is an 83 rated striker

[00:04:34] [SPEAKER_00]: he plays in the Syria from Lombardia Lombardia FC still have to joke but let's not go there

[00:04:41] [SPEAKER_00]: 86 acceleration 91 sprint speed so fast but of course this dude has a four-star weak foot is

[00:04:47] [SPEAKER_00]: six foot four or 192 centimeter and if you look at the rules he got the advanced forward plus rule

[00:04:55] [SPEAKER_00]: he comes in at 25 000 coins to do the SPC it's just one SPC no further speculations or

[00:05:02] [SPEAKER_00]: specs needed no need to play an extra match etc it is a big striker it's a striker that's

[00:05:10] [SPEAKER_00]: relatively fast or actually really fast for a big guy like him he's not necessarily the best

[00:05:16] [SPEAKER_00]: finisher with 86 finishing of course 80 composure is a little bit on a low side same goes from the

[00:05:22] [SPEAKER_00]: balance and this is I think if you look at his 96 jumping so that's pretty cool and 90 strength

[00:05:28] [SPEAKER_00]: this is one of those big strikers you put on top and you feed him then this advantage currently is

[00:05:37] [SPEAKER_00]: that I have not seen many Syria teams so it might be a little bit hard to link although French of

[00:05:42] [SPEAKER_00]: course is pretty much doable the three-star skill food skills isn't a bad thing for skill muscles

[00:05:48] [SPEAKER_00]: four-star weak foot is fine it is a player that should fit your play style it's not a player that

[00:05:54] [SPEAKER_00]: would work for everyone because I think it composure is pretty important in this game or

[00:06:02] [SPEAKER_00]: in any games and that would be the one thing it could be done but if I'm honest if we have a

[00:06:08] [SPEAKER_00]: Allen Holland for 600 000 coins plus or you have a Toronto player every month for 25 000 coins

[00:06:16] [SPEAKER_00]: it won't break the bank if you try him and I think it is a pretty cool player also for objectives

[00:06:22] [SPEAKER_00]: later on but if you have a two-round as a starting striker you start the game next Friday

[00:06:27] [SPEAKER_00]: you play him on forward there's nothing wrong with him personally I am not gonna do it because

[00:06:34] [SPEAKER_00]: I won't don't see myself using him and quite honestly I already packed holla or not Holland

[00:06:39] [SPEAKER_00]: I wish I packed Holland but I pecked Kane and I peck lemon does he which are sort of feels like

[00:06:44] [SPEAKER_00]: the same sort of players and he just doesn't fit my squad but for 25 000 it's a hard card not to

[00:06:51] [SPEAKER_00]: just say just try it and risk it and well the regular card 83 card I just tried it before we

[00:06:59] [SPEAKER_00]: recorded this podcast and I think that card is pretty much what you expect for big will miss a

[00:07:06] [SPEAKER_00]: chance a couple of chances but then again he will hit corners for example because of his insane

[00:07:11] [SPEAKER_00]: jumping and his physique so no I would if I would rate it I'd say good as we see seven out of ten

[00:07:18] [SPEAKER_00]: the player itself a sort of halfway through you either like him or you don't but it's not

[00:07:23] [SPEAKER_00]: a big deal they priced him according to his strength I think so I think that's definitely

[00:07:29] [SPEAKER_00]: a very good thing to do something I want to talk about before we jump into the new team of the week

[00:07:36] [SPEAKER_00]: is the evolutions that came out yesterday and when I talk about evolution I'm mostly talking about

[00:07:43] [SPEAKER_00]: the sprint supreme eafc25 evolution it basically says enhance the acceleration and sprint speed

[00:07:51] [SPEAKER_00]: of your center back who needs a boost to redefine pace on the pitch it has requirements of a maximum

[00:07:59] [SPEAKER_00]: 84 it has to be a center defender central back which you need to have and will upgrade

[00:08:05] [SPEAKER_00]: acceleration and sprint speed to 70 or 2 plus 10 and that's pretty impressive honestly pretty cool

[00:08:16] [SPEAKER_00]: card and they give an example for a base card romero 84 rated his speed will go up maximum

[00:08:23] [SPEAKER_00]: speed it can go up to in the general stats is 78 though so you're not upgrading until 90 speed

[00:08:31] [SPEAKER_00]: but romero the 84 rated center back from spurs at 68 pace for example and with this evolution you

[00:08:39] [SPEAKER_00]: can bring that to 60 or 78 of course what do you need to do you need to win three matches in

[00:08:44] [SPEAKER_00]: rush rivals or squad battles on semi pro that's pretty easy you have to play five matches using

[00:08:53] [SPEAKER_00]: the player which revolution pretty much doable second level is it says win four matches in rush

[00:08:59] [SPEAKER_00]: rivals for squad battles again and another play five yeah win four play five basically then it's

[00:09:07] [SPEAKER_00]: done so in well with you in a couple of hours you have this pretty much done why would i want to

[00:09:15] [SPEAKER_00]: highlight this evolution well i'm not even an evolution fan basically because it's a free

[00:09:21] [SPEAKER_00]: evolution you can put this on any card that fits and just go at it and i like that you if you

[00:09:28] [SPEAKER_00]: listen to the show more often you know i'm not necessarily a terrific evolution guy i don't

[00:09:35] [SPEAKER_00]: like it that much it's not something i spend my time on i like the concept this improves on that

[00:09:41] [SPEAKER_00]: concept by just saying hey if it's there if you want to go for it if your center defendants already

[00:09:46] [SPEAKER_00]: outgrown this that's fine but what it did do for example it made players like konate or gomez from

[00:09:52] [SPEAKER_00]: liverpool even extinct i don't know if they're extinct at the moment but they were much popular

[00:09:57] [SPEAKER_00]: because they fill in that gap so it's a cool way to increase your starting squad

[00:10:03] [SPEAKER_00]: for free while not having the top players yet and i like this as always and of course this is a tip

[00:10:09] [SPEAKER_00]: daniel gave on the show yesterday along with natan and and shack of course is wait until one of the

[00:10:17] [SPEAKER_00]: last moments you can do these evolutions to see if you can chain involutions into each other

[00:10:22] [SPEAKER_00]: for example i know it's not the case but can you maybe start this one then go to the next one

[00:10:28] [SPEAKER_00]: the octopus one and then go to the next one you'll know that once they're all out this is someone i

[00:10:33] [SPEAKER_00]: think you should bookmark like it unlocks expires in 26 days from now i would check in 20 in 20

[00:10:40] [SPEAKER_00]: days if you have something that fits and you can evolution through within those six days that i

[00:10:45] [SPEAKER_00]: think is a pretty cool way of doing it for now if you have a player that could break it's starting

[00:10:50] [SPEAKER_00]: squad for example you are using gomez or you can make him a lot faster now so why wouldn't you do

[00:10:57] [SPEAKER_00]: that i quite like that honestly um then of course we have the team of the week the second team of the

[00:11:06] [SPEAKER_00]: week and the second team of the week is a pretty impressive team of the week but i have to admit

[00:11:11] [SPEAKER_00]: that last week's team of the week wasn't that bad either but if we look at this week you can see some

[00:11:17] [SPEAKER_00]: highlights of course venetius jr comes in at 6 million currently of course we are recording this

[00:11:23] [SPEAKER_00]: just after the content hit which is always a little bit of a hefty moment of course prices keep up

[00:11:30] [SPEAKER_00]: but yeah venetius jr weird son all there i think one player that i really like is bramer but bramer

[00:11:37] [SPEAKER_00]: is currently also over 200 000 but he's a fast center back with say b stopper plus plus and

[00:11:44] [SPEAKER_00]: defender plus um 87 defense 86 physique with 84 speed really cool to have um is he worth it

[00:11:53] [SPEAKER_00]: probably but i would wait until buying it for a moment but i think like these cards are just all

[00:12:00] [SPEAKER_00]: top uh carter i think is really cool as reuben neves you can play him center midfielder and

[00:12:05] [SPEAKER_00]: center defense midfielder but he also has the holding box to box and deep line playmaker on

[00:12:11] [SPEAKER_00]: the center defensive midfielder which gives him a lot of options to play and we also had a couple

[00:12:17] [SPEAKER_00]: of cool portuguese player this week as well which you can match them with so this could be a player

[00:12:23] [SPEAKER_00]: to wait a couple of days and then pick up for like 20 000 or something like that

[00:12:27] [SPEAKER_00]: he's already 20 000 so it will only be cheaper reuben deos of course got a card um expensive but

[00:12:34] [SPEAKER_00]: if there are some cards which really stand out for me i would say mouse lara the goalkeeper

[00:12:41] [SPEAKER_00]: stands out for 15 000 coins and why does it stand out for me quite honest i have backed this card

[00:12:47] [SPEAKER_00]: about 20 times this week and at least now i'm sure i won't pack him this in packs anymore um and i'll

[00:12:55] [SPEAKER_00]: say this so i don't know what he did to deserve a team with a weak card because he wasn't that

[00:12:59] [SPEAKER_00]: active in the match but uh they performed well so there's that um are there any standout cards as

[00:13:06] [SPEAKER_00]: the one i really find stand out and i use this card this week the normal inform the card is the

[00:13:13] [SPEAKER_00]: olyse card or the olyse card from by and when it's a right midfielder a camp and a right winger which

[00:13:20] [SPEAKER_00]: is pretty cool but there's one thing which really bugs me about this card still it bugs me about the

[00:13:26] [SPEAKER_00]: original 82 rated card but it bugs me about this card especially is the fact that on the cam he does

[00:13:34] [SPEAKER_00]: not have any rules so basically you either play him outside and if you play him as a cam he would

[00:13:40] [SPEAKER_00]: be doing all righties if that makes sense the upgrades though from his 82 are just decent most

[00:13:46] [SPEAKER_00]: one plus one plus two is this cool card definitely fits in well his friendship but by munich so

[00:13:53] [SPEAKER_00]: bundesliga pretty cool i wish though we seen some changes to those camps rules for him um well no

[00:14:02] [SPEAKER_00]: we could leak yet so we can't really get these that easy and if you look at the downside of the

[00:14:09] [SPEAKER_00]: list basically we have a couple of guys like lindenberg saike montero lirola and maura which

[00:14:16] [SPEAKER_00]: are nice cards to have in your club later on for fbcs but i don't see anyone that stands out

[00:14:23] [SPEAKER_00]: currently that i think would be a cheap beast of course jackson might be the exception so jackson

[00:14:31] [SPEAKER_00]: from chelsea he is fast 86 acceleration and 88 sprint speed uh shooting is pretty good but the

[00:14:41] [SPEAKER_00]: fun thing about this card is 94 jumping he is three stars three star six foot two pretty cool

[00:14:49] [SPEAKER_00]: card he's not like the end all end all but he will definitely work for a couple of weeks i think

[00:14:55] [SPEAKER_00]: he needs some boosting like he needs a probably even in a hunter you want his

[00:15:02] [SPEAKER_00]: finishing up as much as you can so finisher or hunter if you put the finisher on it his

[00:15:07] [SPEAKER_00]: shooting goes to 96 and if he go with a hunter his shooting goes to 92 i think i would give a

[00:15:15] [SPEAKER_00]: hunter him in he's now 43 000 4 000 43 000 i think probably a cool cartoon the best card though which

[00:15:24] [SPEAKER_00]: i've used this week was florian wits uh he is now uh as well an 18 9 rated card went from 88 to 89

[00:15:32] [SPEAKER_00]: already this card is just brilliant one of the best shadow strikers i've used so far in the game

[00:15:37] [SPEAKER_00]: i really like the 88 form and the 89 is now 400 370 000 i don't think the difference is that big

[00:15:47] [SPEAKER_00]: it's mostly one so and i don't see difference in play styles for example or anything like that

[00:15:52] [SPEAKER_00]: so i would not buy this card but if you're happy to pack them definitely worth doing it

[00:15:57] [SPEAKER_00]: so there we have it we have said that i think the winger um what yeah the strike of what

[00:16:07] [SPEAKER_00]: alley what is definitely an sbc you should be doing there's no harm not doing her i think

[00:16:13] [SPEAKER_00]: the team of the weeks looks decent no cheap piece that's really sent out for me but i like the fact

[00:16:19] [SPEAKER_00]: of muslera is not in my pack for this week turam probably a good card probably worth doing i'm not

[00:16:26] [SPEAKER_00]: doing him but i don't see it hurt if he too but it's not a standout player in my honest opinion

[00:16:32] [SPEAKER_00]: and i know it's not a player that will work for everyone uh and of course we have the evolution

[00:16:39] [SPEAKER_00]: the center defender evolution i think that is an awesome addition to this game talking about

[00:16:45] [SPEAKER_00]: additions we'll be back this thursday with a new show talking about the content probably

[00:16:50] [SPEAKER_00]: marquee matchups again maybe we can show a little bit of our thursday rewards and our big show is
