Key takeaways
- Team 1 at 6pm UK on Friday 23 October. Seventeen cards, led by a 90 rated Raphinha.
- Team 2 is live from 6pm UK on 30 October, and it is the stronger of the two: a 91 Olise, a 90 Ginóla, a 90 Messi and an 89 Kvaratskhelia.
- A token store runs alongside, with four player cards and two guarantee packs.
- Scream cards are live cards, same as Future Stars: they upgrade through the season.
- The first hour is the cheapest the market gets. The underpriced listings are gone in under a second.
When it drops
6pm UK on Friday 23 October 2026 for Team 1, which is 7pm CET and 1pm ET. Team 2 lands on Thursday 30 October, a week later, which is also when the first week's guarantee pack stops being the only one in the store.
Everything below is read off the official graphics. All credit for those goes to the people who made them, listed under each one. We did not make any of them.
Ultimate Scream Team 1
Seventeen cards. Raphinha on 90 with 93 pace is the headline, and there are three Heroes and an Icon in here too, which is unusual for a week one team.
| Player | OVR | Pos | Club | PAC SHO PAS DRI DEF PHY |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Raphinha | 90 | CAM | Barcelona | 93 88 90 89 57 79 |
| Ronaldo | 89 | LW | Al Nassr | 90 89 79 87 37 77 |

| Szoboszlai | 88 | RB | Liverpool | 85 84 88 85 85 84 |
| Fabinho | 87 | CB | Trabzonspor | 78 71 80 79 87 89 |

| Calhanoglu | 86 | CAM | Inter | 78 86 88 85 82 75 |
| Kondogbia | 86 | CB | Marseille | 77 75 79 81 86 88 |
| Tolisso | 86 | CAM | Lyon | 80 87 87 84 82 85 |
| Vobian | 86 | LM | Sunderland | 80 83 86 87 60 75 |
| Alonso | 85 | LB | MLS | 87 66 77 75 81 83 |
| Chong | 85 | RM | Sheffield United | 89 81 83 87 64 76 |
| Flint | 85 | CB | NWSL | 77 76 76 81 85 92 |
| Lukeba | 85 | LB | RB Leipzig | 84 46 78 84 86 80 |
The ones worth watching: Szoboszlai at 88 as a right back with 85 defending and 88 passing is the sort of out-of-position card that gets built into half the Premier League sides in the game. Palmer on 87 is the other obvious one. And Stam at 88 is an Icon with 90 defending, which prices itself.
The quieter half is where the coins are. Nobody is writing threads about an 85 rated left back from the Bundesliga, which is exactly why Lukeba gets listed too cheap by people clearing pulls at speed.
Team 2, live now
Team 2 is in packs from 6pm UK on Thursday 30 October. Seventeen cards, and a stronger top end than Team 1: Olise at 91 is the best card in the promo, with a 90 Ginóla Hero, a 90 Messi and an 89 Kvaratskhelia behind him.
The official stats came in under the leaked ones in places. Kvaratskhelia landed at 89 ST rather than 90, and several cards moved position, so price off the table below rather than anything you saw last week.
| Player | OVR | Pos | PAC SHO PAS DRI DEF PHY |
|---|---|---|---|
| Olise | 91 | CAM | 84 86 91 92 50 71 |
| Ginóla | 90 | ST | 91 90 88 92 56 85 |
| Messi | 90 | RW | 85 88 90 91 34 64 |

Clubs and leagues are on the graphic above. Stats read off the official release.
Team 1 prices are the thing to watch now. A stronger Team 2 pulls coins and attention away, so Team 1 cards soften from tonight. If you are holding Team 1 to flip rather than to use, that window is closing, not opening.
The token store
Tokens come from objectives and the store sells four player cards plus the packs below. The two guarantee packs are the interesting ones, because a week one and a week two version both being listed tells you the promo runs the full fortnight.
| Item | Tokens |
|---|---|
| Scott, 87 CB | 1,500 |
| Big Evolution | 900 |
| Verón, 87 CAM | 900 |
| Ultimate Scream W1 guarantee pack | 800 |
| Ultimate Scream W2 guarantee pack | 800 |
| Le Fée, 86 LM | 550 |
| Evolution | 500 |
| Three 85+ players pack | 400 |
| 84+ x4 rare gold players pack (tradeable) | 400 |
| El Mala, 85 ST | 300 |
| 80+ x10 rare gold players pack | 150 |
| 75+ x10 rare gold players pack | 100 |
| FIFA 17, 19 and 20 retro cards | 100 each |
The retro cards at 100 tokens each are the cheapest thing in there and the most likely to be ignored, which usually means the market underprices them for a day or two before people work out what they are.
What to snipe tonight
Every promo does the same thing to the market. For the first twenty minutes nobody has a price, thousands of people are opening packs at once, and a chunk of them list everything instantly at whatever the game suggests. That is the window.
Four things that work:
- The 85s and 86s, not Raphinha. The headline card has every trader in the game watching it. The twelfth best card in the squad has a thin market and far more mispriced listings.
- Defenders and keepers. The person who opened the pack wanted the winger. Centre backs and full backs get dumped.
- Women's league cards. Flint, Salma Paralluelo and the Team 2 names trade on thinner markets than the Premier League, so a mispriced listing sits there longer.
- Last month's meta. New content pulls coins out of existing cards. The Future Stars cards from a fortnight ago soften tonight while everyone chases Scream.
Set a Max Buy Now you would be happy with at midnight, not the number that feels right at six o'clock. And remember EA takes 5% of the sale price, not of your profit.
Getting set up
There is no point reading this at 6:05 and then spending twenty minutes installing something.
- Add the extension to Chrome. It runs inside the Web App, so nothing sits between the listing and your buy.
- Get a free key. Join the Discord, type
/trial, and it comes back privately in seconds. - Paste it in and press Activate. Your two hours start on activation, so do that at six rather than now.
- Set your limits first. A run budget and a coins floor mean it stops rather than spending your club on a promo night.
- Load a filter and go. Our filters guide is a better starting point than copying whatever is trending.
FAQs
6pm UK on Friday 23 October 2026 for Team 1, which is 7pm CET and 1pm ET. Team 2 follows on 30 October.
Seventeen cards led by Raphinha at 90, with Ronaldo and a Zola Hero on 89, and Salma Paralluelo and a Stam Icon on 88. Szoboszlai appears at 88 as a right back.
Seventeen cards and a stronger top end: Olise at 91, then a Ginola Hero and Messi on 90, with Kvaratskhelia and Laudehr on 89. Live from 6pm UK on 30 October.
Yes. Like Future Stars, Ultimate Scream cards upgrade through the season rather than staying fixed, which is why they tend to hold their price instead of sliding.
Four player cards, from El Mala at 300 tokens up to Scott at 1,500, plus two Ultimate Scream guarantee packs at 800 tokens each, an Evolution at 500, a Big Evolution at 900, and retro FIFA 17, 19 and 20 cards at 100 tokens each.
The cards nobody is talking about. The headline player has every trader watching it, so the mispriced listings are on the 85s and 86s, especially defenders and keepers that people dump while clearing pack pulls.
