The second week of Ultimate Scream in FC 26 is shaping up to be an interesting one, but fans are still waiting for the cards to actually hit packs. EA has not yet released team 2, though several reliable leaks have already revealed the expected lineup. Despite no official release, the market is already reacting to the news, with traders moving quickly to prepare for the drop.
Unlike last week’s team, which brought huge excitement around Paul Pogba’s SBC and several standout cards, team 2 looks weaker on paper. Many fans on social media have called it “underwhelming” and “a mid follow-up” to what was a strong opening week for the Halloween promo.
Leaked lineup for Ultimate Scream team 2
According to multiple sources, Ultimate Scream team 2 will include high-profile names such as Ousmane Dembélé, Christian Pulisic, Paulo Futre, Mariona, Schneider, and Matuidi. The leaks suggest these cards will arrive with solid stat boosts and some upgraded PlayStyles, but not at the same level of creativity or strength seen in team 1.
The surprise name in the leaks is Pulisic, who was initially rumored to be released as an SBC but instead appears to be joining the team as a pack card. That small change has already influenced trading trends, with many players holding Serie A fodder or investing in U.S. links ahead of the expected Friday release.
Meanwhile, Dembélé looks to be the top chase card in this squad, boasting a PlayStyle+ upgrade to Finesse and his usual five-star skills. His leaked stats make him a likely favorite once he becomes available in packs.
Market movements ahead of the drop
Even though team 2 isn’t live yet, the market is reacting as if it were. Traders are already buying and selling cards tied to leaked names and strong chemistry links. Cards like Karim Adeyemi and French wingers have started to climb slightly as players anticipate potential team-building opportunities around Dembélé.
However, most traders are being cautious this time. After the first week’s massive price spikes around Pogba’s SBC and early hype cards, many expect prices to move more modestly this time. The consensus is that Ultimate Scream team 2 will not hit the same market highs as team 1, mainly due to the lower overall card power and smaller stat increases.
Expect a short-term dip in fodder once the SBCs go live, followed by quick rebounds as players begin crafting upgrade packs or chasing the promo cards over the weekend.
EA’s secrecy and confusion around leaks
This promo has been one of EA’s most secretive in recent memory. While leaks have revealed most of the names, the official stats have not yet been confirmed, and EA has kept the in-game content surprisingly quiet in the lead-up.
Leakers were caught off guard earlier when Christian Pulisic appeared on the loading screen instead of in an SBC menu, correcting earlier misinformation. That mistake has led to some frustration in the community, but it also shows that EA may be trying to keep the final details under wraps until release time.
Many fans are welcoming this new unpredictability, saying it brings back some surprise to the Friday content drops. Others argue that the lack of clear details makes trading and preparation harder, especially for competitive players who plan their squads around promo launches.
Expectations for Ultimate Scream team 2 release
When team 2 finally hits packs, likely later today, it’s expected to follow a similar format to week one – a mix of new SBCs, upgrade challenges, and potentially an objective card. There is speculation that Marcus Rashford could appear as the big SBC of the week, offering either a striker or right-wing version.
If this turns out to be true, Rashford could easily overshadow the rest of the team 2 cards. Players are already comparing his leaked stats to previous versions and noting that his lack of a PlayStyle+ might keep him from being a top-tier option.
Still, EA could surprise fans with a creative twist in the final reveal. If Dembélé’s stats are strong enough or if Pulisic receives additional position changes, Ultimate Scream team 2 might turn out better than the community currently expects.
Market outlook heading into Friday
The FC 26 market is stable but watchful. Traders are holding coins and packs until team 2 officially goes live. Historically, Friday nights bring a brief “bubble” of lower prices right after content drops, which can be a great time to buy before the market rebounds during FUT Champs play.
With Black Friday approaching in late November, many players are also saving coins for the next major promo, rumored to be ThunderStruck. That could keep demand steady but prevent huge spikes in price even if team 2 includes a few standout names.
