FC 27 Fans Split on the Ultimate Scream Leak in TOTW Cards

Published 2026-10-17 · DB.Coins Blog

The leak everyone is arguing about

With Season 1 closing on 22 October 2026 at 12:29 PM IST (06:59 UTC), the FC 27 community should be talking about reward grinds. Instead, the loudest argument this week is over a few lines of text.

Players poking around live Team of the Week items report finding Ultimate Scream upgrade wording sitting inside the card info panel — the description that explains how a Scream card's stats boost over the promo's run. No Scream items are live, and EA has published nothing about the promo for FC 27. That gap is exactly where the fight started.

Camp one: it is coming, and soon

The optimists read it simply. Upgrade text does not write itself into a live item for no reason, and 23 October keeps appearing in community chatter as the expected start — one day after Season 2 opens. Season 2 is confirmed to run 22 October to 3 December 2026, so a Friday promo in that opening week fits EA's usual rhythm perfectly.

Supporters also point out that the promo roadmap circulating since launch has listed Ultimate Scream between Future Stars and the winter content. If that roadmap has been right so far, they argue, why doubt it now?

Camp two: that is last year's code

The sceptics have a sharper point than "leaks are fake". EA reuses item templates between titles, so leftover descriptions can resurface attached to a completely different card type. The specific theory doing the rounds is that FC 27's Holographic TOTW items are sitting in the same item slot Ultimate Scream occupied last year — which would explain Scream wording appearing on a TOTW card without a single Scream item existing.

There is a second wrinkle. Last year's Scream upgrades were pinned to real-world full moon dates. Any date printed inside recycled text would therefore be a 2025 date, not a 2026 one — which makes the "confirmed release date" reading look a lot shakier.

Separately, artwork of a high-rated Luis Suarez Scream card has been shared around. Nobody has produced evidence of a live item behind it, so treat it as unconfirmed fan material rather than a leak.

What this means for your coins

Here is the honest position: Ultimate Scream is unconfirmed for FC 27. Everything above — the date, the squad, the artwork — is rumour until EA publishes its own article.

That second row is the one players underrate. The market has already taken one real knock this month, with the max 86 Hero SBC, Academy Evolutions and Weekend League rewards pushing supply up while nervous sellers dumped squads early. Sitting on a pile of coins through another quiet week costs you the profit you would have made trading it.

The grounded take

Do not reorganise your club around a datamine. Two things are worth acting on before 22 October:

• Finish Season 1 objectives. Season Points reset when Season 2 begins — unspent progress simply vanishes.
• Keep liquidity, not a shopping list. A healthy coin balance covers a Scream launch, a quiet week, or whatever EA actually ships.

If a big promo does land in Season 2's opening days, the players who move first are the ones who already have coins ready rather than a squad to panic-sell. DB.Coins offers safe trading that increases your coin balance, with instant delivery and support built for Indian players — Get FC Coins.
