According to multiple leaks, Ultimate Scream is officially making a comeback in FC 26. The card design itself features a glowing moon backdrop — a clear nod to the classic rotating stat boosts from older FIFA titles. Players like Luis Suárez have already appeared in early leaks, complete with spooky flair and over-the-top stat potential.
If EA revives the moon-based stat shifts, where player ratings changed depending on moon phases, it could make for one of the most dynamic promos in years. Combine that with the rumored hero tie-ins under the Doomia Heroes branding, and this could be the first promo hero batch of the year. Nostalgic fans remember legends like Bernard and Kevin Gameiro from past Scream squads — low-budget icons that shaped early Ultimate Team metas.
Ratings Reload 2 and SBC Expectations
Before Ultimate Scream arrives, Ratings Reload Team 2 headlines today’s content. The lineup includes top players like Kevin De Bruyne, Lionel Messi, Khvicha Kvaratskhelia, Khadija “Bunny” Shaw, and Donyell Malen, alongside strong budget cards such as Crystal Dunn and Denzel Dumfries.
SBC leaks suggest we’ll see João Pedro as today’s live SBC, following the trend of a promo-themed card every Friday. Meanwhile, the long-rumored End of an Era Sergio Busquets looks to be the next major drop. With massive stat boosts — including a +42 pace increase and Tiki-Taka Plus playstyle — it’s shaping up to be one of the best deep-lying playmakers of the year. If Busquets gets boosted chemistry links like last year’s End of an Era cards, he’ll instantly slot into countless hybrid squads.
Evolution Leaks and Player Upgrades
Two new evolutions are expected: a Max 82 Right-Back Evolution (mirroring the earlier LB upgrade) and the exclusive Jamal Musiala “Flawless Footwork” Evolution for EA FC Club members. The Musiala EVO grants five-star skills and Technical Plus, potentially redefining attacking midfield builds.
For the right-back evolution, players like Jeremie Frimpong are already seeing price jumps in anticipation. Foot Police and other sources note that this one could be free, making it a high-priority grind for club builders.
Also teased is a Riccardo Calafiori and Dean Huijsen player pick SBC, likely arriving this weekend — adding another layer of excitement as we wait for Ultimate Scream to officially kick off.
Market Strategy and Trading Tips
The FC 26 market remains shaky heading into the weekend. After back-to-back crashes from Weekend League selloffs, caution is key. Popular cards like Lionel Messi, Jordi Alba, Nico Williams, and Tijjani Reijnders are seeing pre-hype rises — but history suggests selling early before content drops is the safest route.
Out-of-pack items, especially MLS and Inter Miami links, tend to spike before End of an Era releases, so flipping them before Friday night may lock in better profits. For Fodder investors, prices on 87–88-rated cards are flat but could rebound if SBC volume increases this weekend.
Simply put: sell in the hype, avoid overexposure, and keep liquidity ready for the Ultimate Scream promo.
