Ultimate Scream is back in EA Sports FC 27 and it landed on Friday 23 October 2026 with a two-week campaign, a 90-rated Raphinha leading Team 1, a Token Store stocked with Heroes and Evolutions, and a Beaver Moon upgrade on 24 November that temporarily turns every Ultimate Scream card into a chemistry-flexible monster. Here is everything you need to know to spend your tokens wisely and prepare for the boost.

Team 1 packs opened in FUT
Who is in FC 27 Ultimate Scream Team 1?
Team 1 has 17 items in packs (14 players and 3 Heroes), one SBC reward, and five more items exclusive to the Token Store. Position changes are a feature of this year's campaign, so the position listed below is the Ultimate Scream position, not the player's usual role.

A few standout stats worth knowing: Salma Paralluelo has 94 Pace, the highest in Team
- Taylor Flint tops the Physical chart at
- Raphinha brings 93 Pace and 90 Passing as a CAM, which is an unusual combination for that position. Jaap Stam, a center-back by trade, moves into CDM with 90 Defending.
How does the Beaver Moon 99 stat boost work?
Here's the short answer: on Tuesday 24 November 2026, every Ultimate Scream Player Item gets one face stat boosted to 99 and gains full in-position Chemistry for one week, ending on Tuesday 1 December 2026.
Both parts of the upgrade are temporary. EA has not confirmed whether the specific face stat that hits 99 is chosen at random (as it was in FC 26) or fixed per card. What is confirmed is that the Chemistry perk only requires the card to be placed in one of its valid positions, regardless of the surrounding players' clubs, leagues, or nations. That makes Ultimate Scream items genuinely plug-and-play for the Beaver Moon window.
Here's why that matters for your squad planning: hold onto any Ultimate Scream cards you pull from packs even if they are not immediately starting XI material. The Beaver Moon window runs across the weekend of 28 to 30 November, which covers a full Division Rivals and Champions cycle. Cards that are sitting as substitutes today become free chemistry links at the end of November.
The upgrade structure is smaller than FC 26 deliberately. Last year's campaign added permanent Role+ and Role++ upgrades across two full moons. Every FC 27 special item already launches with Role++ across its primary and secondary positions, so those permanent upgrades would have given Ultimate Scream cards nothing new. The Chemistry boost takes their place.
What is in the FC 27 Ultimate Scream Token Store?
The Token Store holds 17 rewards across players, packs, Evolutions, and cosmetic upgrades. It stays open until Friday 13 November 2026 at 18:00 UTC, giving you a full extra week after the campaign ends to spend any remaining balance.

What should you spend your tokens on first?
The mistake most players make is spending early tokens on low-cost packs before knowing whether they can realistically reach the 1,500-token threshold for Jill Scott. Work backward from your target, not forward from your current balance.
- Under 300 tokens: Save, or grab Tverskov at 50 if you want a guaranteed player without sacrificing much.
- 300 to 549 tokens: El Mala at 300 is the cheapest guaranteed attacker in the store.
- 550 to 799 tokens: Le Fée at 550 or The Haunted Wall at 500 if you have an eligible defender.
- 800 to 899 tokens: The Team 1 Guarantee Pack at 800 is the cheapest guaranteed route to any Team 1 item if you do not have a specific Hero target.
- 900 to 1,499 tokens: Verón at 900 is a strong attacking midfield Hero with CAM and CM positions. Wicked Winger at 900 is the better pick if you already own an eligible RM or RW.
- 1,500+ tokens: Compare Scott against two or three cheaper rewards before committing. Her CB, CDM, and CM flexibility is genuinely useful, but only if that defensive profile fits your squad.
What are the Ultimate Scream Evolutions?
Two gameplay Evolutions sit in the Token Store, and both have specific eligibility requirements worth checking before you spend.
Wicked Winger (900 tokens): Applies to RM or RW cards with a maximum 82 OVR, 90 Pace, 70 Defending, 80 Strength, and 1 PlayStyle+. The upgrade adds +15 OVR (capped at 85), +1 Skill Moves (cap 4), a choice of Finesse Shot+, Quick Step+, or Technical+, and +15 Pace stats. This is a significant jump for the right card, but the position restriction is strict.
The Haunted Wall (500 tokens): Applies to cards with a maximum 81 OVR, 85 Pace, and 7 PlayStyles. Adds +8 OVR (capped at 84), +1 Weak Foot (cap 3), a choice of Bruiser, Intercept, or Anticipate, and +10 Acceleration and Sprint Speed (capped at 78). The defensive focus makes it a solid pick for a CDM or CB you already use.
Four cosmetic Evolutions apply retro Ultimate Scream card designs from FUT 17, FUT 19, FUT 20, and the current campaign. Each costs 100 tokens. They are available through the Evolution Store and the Season 2 Season Pass as well, so treat them as a low-priority token spend unless you specifically want the visual.
How do you earn Ultimate Scream Tokens?
Four sources are confirmed:
- Themed Objectives: Multiple objective groups award tokens throughout the two-week campaign. Check the timer on each group before deciding what to prioritize, as shorter-duration events should generally go first.
- Flash Rush events: Two per week, both weeks. These are time-limited, so they take priority over longer objectives if you are trying to maximize your token total.
- Puzzle SBCs: Daily Halloween-themed Puzzle SBCs feed into a Puzzle Completionist objective group that pays out tokens. Check both the SBC and Objectives menus rather than looking only inside individual SBC tiles.
- Ghoul Fest (week two): A No Rules Live Event where offsides and fouls go unpunished. It launches in week two and awards additional tokens alongside its match rewards.
The maximum token total across all activities is not published by EA, so do not assume every reward is reachable. Choose a realistic target early and track new token sources as they appear.
What else is in FC 27 Ultimate Scream?
Ghostly Gallery ties Ultimate Scream directly into FC 27's seasonal collection system. Use Ultimate Scream Player Items in matches to complete Ghostly Gallery Objectives and earn Halloween-themed Vanity Items. Submit a set of five or more Ultimate Scream players in the Gallery to earn Gallery Tokens.
Screaming Grounds is a separate Halloween event in The Grounds, only available on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, PC, and Nintendo Switch 2. It shares nothing mechanically with Ultimate Scream. Players on PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and the original Nintendo Switch can participate in Ultimate Scream normally but cannot access Screaming Grounds.
Ultimate Scream history: how FC 27 compares
| Edition | Upgrade mechanic |
|---|---|
| FIFA 17 | Temporary rating boosts over Halloween only |
| FIFA 18 | Temporary boosts at several points across the season |
| FIFA 19 | Two of six face stats raised to 90 during selected periods |
| FIFA 20 | Permanent upgrades lasting the rest of the year |
| FIFA 21 to FC 25 | Not released (Rulebreakers and Thunderstruck took the Halloween slot) |
| FC 26 | Permanent Role upgrades on two full moons, plus a seven-day 99 face stat |
| FC 27 | One temporary upgrade on the Beaver Moon: a 99 face stat and full in-position Chemistry for one week |
The campaign was absent for five editions before returning in FC 26. FC 27 moves away from permanent upgrades entirely. The Role system makes that logical: every FC 27 special item already ships with Role++ across its primary and secondary positions, so a Role upgrade would have added nothing. The chemistry boost fills that gap instead.
