Ultimate Scream Team 2 Is Live: Players, Tokens, Market Surge & Weekend Strategy

Ultimate Scream Team 2 is now live in FC 27, bringing a new squad of high-rated cards, fresh SBCs, a new game mode, and a market that has already moved sharply this week. Here is everything you need to know before the weekend.

Who Is in Scream Team 2?

The second wave includes Henry, Ginola, Messi, Kvaratskhelia, Valverde, and McTominay. These cards will start scarce and expensive, most likely following the same price arc as Team 1 — high at launch before gradually easing as pack supply builds up. If you are targeting one of these cards, waiting a few days could save you a significant chunk of coins.

How to Earn More Scream Tokens

Several routes are now available or expected to open up shortly

• A new SBC is expected to drop — likely a 'freaky zombie' puzzle as part of the completionist set.
• The new Ghoul Fest mode runs with 'no rules' gameplay, meaning no fouls and no offsides. Objectives tied to this event are expected to reward around 400-500 tokens, which may be enough to push toward the next milestone, including the Jill Scott card.
• The token store may receive a Scream Team 2 guaranteed pack at 800 tokens.

For Ghoul Fest, there is a squad restriction to keep in mind: only one player rated 88 or higher is allowed in your lineup.

What the Market Is Doing This Week

The FC 27 market has seen an unusual surge throughout the week, with top-tier cards moving noticeably higher:

• Alexia Putellas: rose from 840,000 to 950,000 coins.
• Vinícius Jr.: climbed from 630,000-640,000 up to 720,000 coins.
• Raphinha: reached 7.1 million coins, representing an increase of 1 million.
• Jaap Stam: moved from 2.4 million to 2.6 million coins.
• Michael Essien: currently at 1.14 million coins.

Because so much of this price movement already happened mid-week, the usual Friday night bubble may be flatter than normal. Many players have already completed their squads, meaning the sharp Friday demand spike is less predictable this time around.

Trading Strategy: What to Do This Weekend

If you already hold squad cards such as Putellas, Pedri, or Bellingham, the advice is to hold and not panic-sell. The market is not expected to crash immediately after content drops.

For SBC fodder, the ideal window is late Friday night through Sunday. Weekend league reward packs begin hitting the market at that time, temporarily increasing supply and softening fodder prices. Use bidding rather than Buy It Now — competition is lower during this window and you can secure cards below the snipe threshold.

Rare icons and outgoing Scream cards from Team 1 also remain viable flip targets due to sustained demand from players still building squads.

Two Things to Skip This Week

• Chemistry Styles SBC: acknowledged as the 'lesser of two evils' given inflated market prices for chem styles, but the explicit recommendation is to avoid it. Spending roughly 5,000 item score worth of fodder here is considered a poor trade when that fodder could go toward higher-value SBCs.
• Heroic Opener Pack: an untradeable hero pack expected to appear in the store, estimated at around 200,000-250,000 coins worth of value relative to its cost. The verdict is clear: skip it, and pass that advice to your friends before they open one.

What to Focus On

Hold your current squad, stack tokens through Ghoul Fest objectives and the new SBC, and use the late Friday to Sunday window to bid on fodder rather than snipe it. Skip the Heroic Opener pack entirely and save your fodder for SBCs with better returns.
