The Ultimate Scream Player Pick SBC featuring two 86-rated versions of Marcus Rashford presents a crucial choice for FC 26 Ultimate Team players. Both cards offer elite attacking ability but are tailored for distinct roles on the pitch. Choosing the right card and applying the optimal Chemistry Style is essential to maximize your investment.
Card Comparison: ST vs. RW
The key decision lies in your current team structure and preferred attacking style. While both cards boast 5-Star Skill Moves and high-end pace, their base stats and PlayStyles are optimized for different positions.
| Stat | 86 ST Rashford (Ultimate Scream) | 86 RW Rashford (Ultimate Scream) |
| Pace | 88 | 93 (Higher Sprint Speed) |
| Shooting | 87 (Higher Finishing/Positioning) | 84 |
| Passing | 83 | 86 |
| Dribbling | 86 (Higher Agility/Balance) | 85 |
| Primary Role | Poacher++ / Advanced Forward+ | Inside Forward++ / Winger+ |
| Key PlayStyles | Power Shot, Rapid, Quick Step | Finesse Shot, Rapid, Quick Step |
Verdict:
- Pick the ST Version if you need a clinical finisher and central target who can link up play, or if you plan to play him at CAM. He has better base shooting and dribbling/agility stats.
- Pick the RW Version if you need pure, unadulterated speed on the flanks for counter-attacks. His 93 Pace is a game-changer for a winger.
Best Chemistry Style Guide
To transform either card into a truly elite-level player, you need to apply a Chemistry Style that rounds out their weaknesses or pushes their strengths to the maximum of 99.
86 ST Rashford (Central Focus)
This version is best utilized as a Striker or Central Attacking Midfielder (CAM). The goal is to maximize his finishing and agility.
| Chemistry Style | Primary Boosts | Why It Works |
| Finisher | {SHO} +8, {DRI} +8 | Top Recommendation. This is the most balanced style for a central attacker. It pushes his Finishing, Volleys, Agility, and Balance all into the high 90s, making him incredibly sharp in the box. |
| Sniper | {SHO} +10, {DRI} +4 | For pure clinical edge. Maximizes his Positioning and Finishing to a higher level than Finisher, but with a smaller boost to agility. |
| Hawk | {PAC} +4, {SHO} +5, {PHY} +5 | If you want a slight speed boost and a bump to his physicality (Strength and Aggression), Hawk is a great all-rounder. |
86 RW Rashford (Wide Focus)
This version is best used as a Right Winger (RW) or Right Midfielder (RM). Since his pace is already elite, focus on improving his scoring or playmaking.
| Chemistry Style | Primary Boosts | Why It Works |
| Finisher | {SHO} +8, {DRI} +8 | Top Recommendation. Significantly upgrades his base 84 Shooting to make him a lethal inside forward. Boosts his Finishing and key Dribbling stats for cutting inside. |
| Engine | {PAC} +4, {PAS} +6, {DRI} +8 | If you feel his dribbling is a bit heavy, Engine will make him feel like an absolute blur. It maxes out his Agility, Balance, and Ball Control while also improving his Crossing for wide play. |
| Marksman | {SHO} +6, {DRI} +6, {PHY} +4 | A great option for a balanced stat bump, especially if you need to boost his strength to hold off fullbacks. |
Final Verdict: Who Should You Choose?
The choice largely depends on your specific squad needs and preferred attacking style:
- If your priority is pure pace and working the meta (pace + cutbacks): The RW/RM version is the better choice. His superior pace ($+5$ PAC) and the ability to utilize through balls down the line make him a consistent threat for the most common scoring opportunities.
- If you need a central, versatile attacker who links play and is a skilled dribbler: The ST/CAM version is the one to pick. His positional flexibility and excellent passing PlayStyles ($+Tiki Taka$) make him a valuable asset in the middle of the pitch.
Ultimately, both cards are slightly held back by the lack of a PlayStyle+ that dominates the meta (like 
Finesse Shot+ or Driven Shot+). However, both can still be very effective if utilized correctly, particularly with their 5-star Skill Moves to open up space.
