The long-awaited Ultimate Scream promo is finally set to return in EA Sports FC 26, and fans across the community are buzzing with anticipation. Reliable leaker FUT POLICE has shared several details about the event, revealing that Ultimate Scream will bring back the Halloween theme that so many players have missed since the FIFA days.

Social media has been full of discussion about what EA Sports might have planned this year. With fresh card designs, boosted stats, and returning special effects, Ultimate Scream could be one of the most engaging promos of the FC 26 cycle so far.

Paul Pogba set to feature in Ultimate Scream

Among the leaks, one player that has the community particularly interested is Paul Pogba. The French midfielder is reportedly receiving a duo player pick SBC, offering two special versions of the card.

One version is expected to play as a central attacking midfielder (CAM) with the Incisive Plus playstyle, while the other focuses on a CDM role with Intercept Plus. Both cards will carry Pogba’s trademark 5-star skills, giving players flexibility in how they use him.

A usable Pogba card always generates attention, especially since many fans still enjoy his unique style and animations in-game. The fact that EA has chosen him for this year’s Ultimate Scream fits perfectly with the promo’s mix of nostalgia and fan favorites.

The return of Halloween-themed football cards

EA Sports has confirmed that Ultimate Scream is back with an updated card design and visual style to mark the Halloween season. The glowing orange-and-black look has always been iconic, and fans have praised its return to FC 26.

According to multiple leaks, the event will introduce major stat boosts and new playstyle plus upgrades across several positions. This year’s version may even include position changes, giving players more ways to fit special cards into their squads.

Leaked names include Joshua Kimmich, Al-Owairan, and Di Natale, who will join Pogba as some of the headline items in packs. These players are expected to set a new standard for how powerful early-season promo cards can be.

EA’s plan for Ultimate Scream and the community response

Ultimate Scream was one of the most popular FIFA promos of all time, known for its creative card designs and game-changing boosts. Its return in FC 26 has been welcomed by players who have wanted more inventive content since launch.

EA’s timing also feels intentional. The Halloween promo arrives just as the in-game market has steadied, giving players a new reason to engage with Ultimate Team and refresh their squads. By combining nostalgia with meaningful gameplay upgrades, EA appears to be responding to community feedback that called for more excitement and unpredictability in promos.

Community sentiment has been largely positive. While some players prefer not to see leaks before the official reveal, many are using the information to plan their fodder and club resources ahead of the promo launch.

Market expectations during Ultimate Scream

With Pogba’s SBC expected to require high-rated fodder, the market for 86–89 rated cards has already seen a rise. Traders are also predicting that meta player prices may drop slightly as users sell off cards to prepare for SBCs and pack openings.

Historically, Ultimate Scream promos have caused temporary dips in prices, followed by rebounds once the hype stabilizes. Savvy players are saving coins and untradeable packs to take advantage of the new content as soon as it goes live.
