The highly anticipated Ultimate Scream event has arrived in FC 26, bringing spooky-themed player items and a unique upgrade system that is already shaking up the transfer market. Here's a breakdown of the key content and the resulting market trends.
The standout feature of this event is the series of permanent upgrades tied to lunar cycles for all Ultimate Scream player items:
Beaver Moon (Nov 5): All items gain a permanent new PlayStyle+.
Cold Moon (Dec 4): All items gain a permanent PlayStyle++ in all positions.
Temporary 99 Stat: On each full moon, one stat will be temporarily boosted to 99 for 7 days.
These guaranteed, supply-locked upgrades present a fantastic long-term investment opportunity, as these cards will become increasingly powerful and rare after packs are gone.
The long-awaited Paul Pogba Squad Building Challenge is here, costing around 200,000 coins. While immensely popular, the card has noticeable flaws:
The CDM version suffers from low Reactions (73) and Stamina (77).
The CAM version has underwhelming Shooting (77) and lacks a PlayStyle+ for playmaking.
Despite this, its popularity is driving up the prices of linked players like Achraf Hakimi and those in Ligue 1.
After days of decline, the market has rebounded sharply, thanks to the engaging new content driving player demand.
Team of the Week (TOTW) Highlights: Cards like TOTW Pavard and Konde have skyrocketed (up to 40%) due to low supply, meta-relevant boosts, and links to popular SBCs.
New Evolution: A new Evolution path allows for the creation of a powerful Camavinga, requiring the previous Tiki-Taka Evolution. This is creating buzz and demand for specific players.
Puzzle SBC & Upgrades: The Puzzle SBC requiring Valencia players has caused their prices to spike. The 85-87 Upgrade SBC is a great way to dump low-value 83-rated cards.
The current market volatility creates opportunities. Our core strategy should be:
Buy the Dip: Only invest heavily when card prices have fallen significantly, as seen this week. If the dip is small, hold your coins.
Weekend League Routine: To avoid value loss, buy your team on Saturday morning and sell after finishing your matches on Sunday night. This often breaks even after tax.
Prepare for Promos: Low-rated cards (84-85) are a buy ahead of potential upgrade SBCs leaked for next week.
To instantly build your squad with these new meta players and capitalize on market moves, you can buy FC 26 coins, players, and consumables safely from MMOMAX. Their reliable service helps you stay ahead of the curve.
With fantastic content driving engagement and a market on the rise, now is an exciting time to be in FC 26 Ultimate Team.
