Pundit Pick is a monthly promo introduced by EA Sports for FC 24, where the Sky Sports and DAZN pundits select a player from the Premier League and La Liga. The selected player later receives an upgraded card for the Ultimate Team mode via SBC. The soccer experts have selected the Chelsea defender Axel Disasi.

What are the stats of the Axel Disasi Pundits Pick card?

The Chelsea defender has a 76-rated Common Gold as his base card. It is not much of a help in Ultimate Team matches. However, fans use it mostly for completing SBCs. Disasi has got himself his first special card, an 88-rated Pundit Pick. This new card is a drastic improvement over the base edition.

Fans who want to create a competitive squad would love having the Frenchman’s new card on it. Aside from the overall 88 rating, the card is a rock-solid defender with 88-defending and 91 physicality. Having 82-pace helps Disasi to track back during counterattack scenarios. This new special card would be helpful for those assembling a Premier League or France-based team.

How to acquire this card in EA FC 24 Ultimate Team?

Pundit Pick cards can only be obtained via completing SBC. As for Axel Disasi’s new card, fans would have to put together two teams of eleven players to complete the challenge. However, there are certain requirements which must be met.

Premier League

• At least one Premier League player should be in the lineup.
• At least one Team of the Week (TOTW) player should be in the lineup.
• The lineup’s overall rating should be over 84.

France

• At least one French player should be in the lineup.
• At least one Team of the Week (TOTW) player should be in the lineup.
• The lineup’s overall rating should be over 85.

EA FC 24 fans would need at least 102,000 Ultimate Team coins to complete the Axel Disasi Pundits Pick SBC. They can also use fodder and untradable cards to complete the challenge with fewer coins. If they have a shortage of these required resources, they can participate in Ultimate Team matches to earn coins and card packs.

Axel Disasi Pundits Pick doesn’t have any alternative positions and could also have better Playstyles, but we still recommend fans complete the SBC. They would be getting a good center-back for a reasonable price. Even if not as a starter, this special card would be a great substitute.

Twitch subscriptions allow the viewers to pay a minimum amount of money to subscribe to their favorite live streamer. A share of that expenditure goes directly to support their content and channel since a percentage of the total subscription money is paid to the creator. Viewers can after that enjoy custom-made and animated emotes, badges, an ad-free viewing experience, and more.

However, now Twitch has been making significant changes to make the business profitable. Dan Clancy announced in January 2024 that Twitch was not making any profits. He also added, “Big thing for being sustainable over time is ensuring we don’t lose money.” Since then, they have taken drastic measures like reducing Prime subscription earnings, and more. Now, the streaming platform has increased its subscription prices.

Twitch said, “We are updating prices in several countries to help streamer revenue keep pace with rising costs and reflect local currency fluctuations.” They announced an increase in Tier 1 subscription and gift sub prices in Australia, Canada, and the UK. Whereas Turkey will face an increase in all 3 tiers of subscription and gift sub prices. In Australia, prices will increase from $7.99 to $8.99, $6.99 to $7.99 in Canada, and £3.99 to £4.99 in the UK. In Turkey, Tier 1 prices were raised from TRY 9.90 to TRY 43.90, TRY 19.99 to TRY 87.90 for Tier 2, and TRY 49.99 to TRY 215.90 for Tier 3. It is important to note that these prices are only applicable to web subscriptions only.

Will Twitch increase subscription prices in the United States?

Based on Twitch’s current trend, there is a huge possibility of an increase in subscription prices in the United States. Furthermore, rumors from various sources have also made claims of a possible increase in subscription prices. However, it is to be duly noted that there are going to be both pros and cons to the price changes.

Since live streamers use subscriptions as a medium to earn money and thereby develop their content and channel, they are going to be highly profitable. Twitch has not made any changes to streamers’ revenue cut so an increase in subscription prices will directly result in more revenue earned from each sub by the live streamer. Unfortunately, on the other hand, viewers will hesitate to buy subscriptions which in turn will be a loss to the creators.

this is awful news, people aren’t even going to want to sub

More reasons to switch to Kick

— fridge (@SmartFridgePro) February 20, 2024

The online community was in accepting how most people will not choose to subscribe hereafter. They also pointed out how this will force more streamers to switch from Twitch to Kick.com. A commenter stated Kick was looking really good at the moment. While another person stated he would rather Cash App his favorite streamer instead of going through Twitch. A Twitter user claimed this step would only hurt streamers and not help them in any way.

The American actor is well known for portraying the young Jedi Knight Cal Kestis. His character was one of the highlights of the game and fans praised the actor for his performance. So, it isn’t surprising that they hope he reprises his role again, especially in a possible live-action adaptation.

The Direct recently questioned the actor if he’s interested in playing his in-game character in a live-action adaptation. The actor responded positively, but he didn’t want his character to be an easter egg to please the audience.

“I don’t want him to just kind of show up to stand around and be there. I want him to mean something and for there to be a significance for the character itself.”

It wasn’t surprising for Monaghan to ask his character to have a significant role in the adaptation. There have been many cases where popular characters from a game do make it to the adaptation but they are only there for a few seconds. A great example would be Arno Dorian’s appearance in the 2016 Assassin’s Creed movie, where he appeared for a single scene and was never spotted again.

Would Star Wars Jedi Get a Live-Action Adaptation?

Fans are eager to get a live-action adaptation of Star Wars Jedi games, especially after the success of HBO’s The Last of Us. The Mandalorian creators Jon Favreau and Dave Filoni even talked to Entertainment Weekly about the possibility of various cross-multimedia adaptations in the Star Wars universe.

“I think one of the things I’m most proud of about what we’re able to accomplish with this show is to pull in different sets of characters and storylines, and each generation and each group connects with a different aspect of Star Wars.”

Even if the Jedi games don’t get a proper live-action adaptation, seeing the in-game characters making their way to various Star Wars movies and TV series won’t be surprising. As a matter of fact, the BD units that were introduced in the Jedi games also appeared in The Book of Boba Fett.

So, there are chances to see the Jedi game characters appear in future Star Wars movies and shows. Hence, it would be interesting to see Cal Kestis interact with characters like Din Djarin and Cassian Andor.

Eddie and Adin are known to speak to each other frequently and this time was nothing different. While conversing normally, Adin went ahead and asked Ed Craven what $1000 meant for him. He even asked him to be completely honest and not give socially acceptable answers. Interestingly, Eddie’s quick answer turned out to be quite well-thought. The Kick founder stated, “$1000 is a $1000, you look at every dollar as important man. If you start getting wasteful, things are downhill from there.”

Eddie even used his words to indirectly troll Adin Ross about his past. He claimed Adin Ross would have seen rich people blowing off money like $1000 did not matter much to them. Thereafter, he added that people need to respect any amount of money whether it be only $1000.

Eventually, Adin picked up on what Ed wanted to say but surprisingly acknowledged and stated, “I am not gonna lie, that sounds like me. Yeah, I gotta be better with money” while Ed responded, “Yeah, it was you up until like six or twelve months ago. As a matter of fact, this conversation made fans raise questions about the earnings and net worth of Adin Ross.

How did Adin Ross earn his money?

Adin Ross is known to generate the majority of his money from live streaming. He chose his career to be streaming at a very young age and started out on Twitch. Although he put in a lot of hard work which helped him acquire hundreds and thousands of views, he was eventually permabanned from Twitch. However, this did not deter him from his goal of being a topmost streamer in the industry.

Adin joining hands with Kick.com turned out to be an incredible decision for his career. Although it has never been officially disclosed, his contract is believed to be worth at least $100 million to $200 million. Furthermore, he was able to win the trust of the owners who gave him some special powers. Currently, Adin is allowed to invite other streamers to join the company, help them secure contracts, and even promote them on his own channel. Furthermore, he is legally entitled to charge 20% of their revenue as his fees.

Adin’s estimated earnings for the year was around $125 million, which includes his base salary, bonuses, equity, and gambling winnings pic.twitter.com/pdrqAiHj3T

— AdinUpdate (@AdinUpdate) January 22, 2024

Some of Adin’s other sources of income include ad revenues from his YouTube channels, brand promotions, sponsored ads, and streaming donations. Hence, considering his avenues of income, we believe the streaming sensation earns around $10 million a year. This puts Adin Ross’ net worth at around $50 million although the number is sure to rise in the future.

MrBeast Statistics is a fan account on X that keeps track of the activity on Donaldson’s YouTube channel. They recently tweeted about the YouTube channel turning 12 years old and even shared its growth across all these years. The stats grabbed the attention of fans, who were in awe to see the growth of their beloved content creator.

WHAT ARE THE ODDS I READ THIS TWEET AT EXACTLY MIDNIGHT AND NOW I CANT TWEET ABOUT IT BECAUSE ITS NO LONGER THE CHANNEL’S BIRTHDAY AS OF 30 SECONDS AGO LOL

— MrBeast (@MrBeast) February 20, 2024

Aside from the fans, MrBeast himself also noticed the tweet about his channel’s statistics. He was unaware of the fact that his channel turned 12 on February 19. Hence, he was a little disappointed that he couldn’t figure it out a few seconds earlier, as he could no longer tweet about it himself. Nevertheless, the 25-year-old was glad to see the tweet and is looking forward to growing even further.

How did MrBeast grow on YouTube over the years?

Jimmy Donaldson started as a gaming-themed creator under the alias of MrBeast6000. It wasn’t until he transitioned to challenges and hosting competitions, that his channel saw a major boost. Moreover, he removed “6000” from his channel’s name. In 12 years since its creation, MrBeast has over 240 million subscribers and 43 billion views.

According to the stats, MrBeast’s channel doubled in size in 2023, as he gained 55 percent of the 240 million subscribers and 51 percent of 43 billion views. It might not be surprising as multiple videos on his channel crossed the 100 million views mark. Videos like “Ages 1 – 100 Fight For $500,000“ and “$1 vs $500,000 Plane Ticket!“ helped him reach a wide audience.

This next graph displays the total subscribers over each year of the channel’s existence. At the current rate of growth, the channel will be sitting around ~328M subscribers on its 13th birthday in 2025!

PS5 Pro is becoming more likely to launch later this year as rumors, reports and analyst predictions point towards it

Following a series of rumors about PS5 Pro coming later this year, plus reports of dev kits already gone to 3rd party studios, Serkan Toto, CEO of Tokyo-based… pic.twitter.com/ZNPDSPIniA

— Rino (@RinoTheBouncer) February 20, 2024

However, recent rumors about the PS5 Pro and Sony’s take on the PS5’s life cycle caught a lot of fans off guard. CNBC interviewed Serkan Toto of Kantan Games and found out that Sony is planning to release a ‘PS5 Pro’ in the second half of 2024. Toto also mentioned that another reason why they are planning a PS5 Pro release is because of GTA VI and how the game requires a great “piece of hardware” that can give stability to its graphical fidelity.

With this announcement, a lot of people are expecting a cut in the base PS5’s price. Even though it is entirely possible, we cannot guarantee a price drop since the hardware sales for Sony aren’t doing too well. The profit margins are lower than it has been in quite a few decades. In fact, Analysts believe that the hardware sales for the company would still be on a decline despite the PS5 Pro’s launch since ultimately, people are looking for a good console at a cheap price, like the PS3.

What Do We Know About The PlayStation 5 Pro So Far?

An insider suggests that the PS5 Pro could release in November 2024 with multiple upgrades over the base PS5. Aside from the usual SSD upgrade, the console might get an AI boost thanks to an integrated Neural Processing Unit (NPU) developed by AMD. There have also been leaks indicating that the upgrades also include RAM and GPU boosts that will make 8K gaming a reality. This would go hand in hand with Sony’s 8k TVs.

As far as price is concerned, Sony is not afraid to increase the money and charge more for good hardware. Judging by previous releases for consoles like the PS4 Pro which was $499 on release, it would be safe to say we are looking at a release price of $599 to $650, maybe even more. The reason for this could be the price of the PSVR2 as well which costs $549. Preparations for the release are now in full force since the dev kits have already been distributed to third-party studios. Hence, 2024 is sure to be an eventful year in gaming one way or the other.

Surprisingly, some sources say that Kai had also convinced Shannon Sharpe to trust him to win the title. However, quite unfortunately, Kai Cenat was able to score only eight points and Micah Parsons took home the MVP title after scoring around 40 points. Although Team Shannon won the basketball event 100-91, Kai’s poor performance led to a lot of criticism with one standing out the most.

Former NFL player and one of the greatest tight ends, Shannon Sharpe dissed Kai Cenat’s height while analyzing the NBA Dunk Contest on ESPN. Criticizing Kai’s poor performance, Shannon said, “Jaylen Brown jumped over Kai Cenat in a seat… The man is already three feet tall, you put him in a chair, and now he is 1’5. And Jaylen Brown jumped over him and he got 40+ for it. Really Stephen A?” This statement naturally made fans wonder what Kai Cenat’s real height is.

— Jake Lucky (@JakeSucky) February 19, 2024

The question about Kai’s real height peeked almost a year back. Just to make sure people knew about his true height, the streamer picked up a measuring tape on-stream and went on to measure himself. After a while, he stated, “That’s 6’3, what are you talking about, come on bro, 6 feet, You all think I am that short, do I look short? I am not short.” However, his fans pointed out that he was referring to the inches on the tape. According to his fans, he was 63 inches tall or 160 centimeters, so that makes his height 5’3.

Kai Cenat couldn’t believe he was trolled on National TV

Although Kai Cenat initially treated Shannon’s statement as a joke, he soon realized that the entire criticism was on national television.  Hence, quite agitated, Kai quickly expressed his disapproval of Shannon’s views, claiming, “Oh, f**k you, Shannon… I didn’t know he said this sh*t.” He was in disbelief at how his celebrity game coach could have said that on national television, and even questioned his chat, saying, “Is this National TV, no, no… Why did he just go straight like that? This is national TV?”

According to Kai, Shannon’s criticism ruined the good relationship that enjoyed. He went hard on the former footballer and questioned how and why he would say such a thing on national television. The streamer claimed the former NFL player should have used much lighter words to express his thoughts. Further expressing his anger and confusion Kai asked, “Three-foot to 1.5? Who the f**k is 1.5 feet tall… What?”

The Showdown is a special Ultimate Team promo that celebrates an upcoming clash between teams by selecting a player from both sides.

Liverpool’s Number 10 Mac Allister is the latest to join the Showdowns for the Red’s upcoming faceoff against Chelsea.

What are the stats of the Alexis Mac Allister Showdown card?

The Argentine midfielder has an 82-rated Rare Gold as his default Ultimate Team card, which is mostly used as fodder for completing SBCs. However, Mac Allister now has the 87-rated Showdown, his best in-game card that could get a spot in a Starting XI. Otherwise, it could also be a great off-the-bench option.

There are many exciting cards from the top tier of English soccer, and now fans have access to one more with the release of Mac Allister Showdown. This newly released card would help those building a competitive Ultimate Team, especially if fans want a chemistry link with Argentine and Premier League players. Moreover, Mac Allister could play multiple midfield positions like Center Midfielder (CM), Central Attacking Midfielder (CAM), and Central Defensive Midfielder (CDM).

Although it could get a spot on a starting XI, the card will work best as a super-sub.
