FIFA 19 Halloween Cards Rules
How the FIFA 19 Ultimate Team Scream Cards Work
To promote the event, Electronic Arts introduced in FIFA 17 a brand new themed card. The Ultimate Team Scream cards are assigned to a selection of 23 players, chosen based on exceptional real world performances, records and FUT attributes, and released all at once in a single FUT squad.
Based on what happened last years, these are the official rules we expect to see this time:
RULE 1
AVAILABILITY
FIFA 19 Scream cards become available in packs for a full week. During this period, they replace the corresponding regular not coloured cards. In other words, it is not possible to find a regular card of a Scream player during the Halloween event.
1.1. If you own the regular card of a scream player, your card will keep unchanged. If you want the new version, you will need to buy the corresponding version in the market or pull it from a pack in that week.
1.2. Your odds of pulling one of these Scream cards from a pack are exactly the same as pulling the day 1 card of that player in another time.
RULE 2
RATINGS AND STATS
From 19 October to 26 October, 23 Ultimate Scream players will be released in packs with upgraded ratings as unique items. However, these upgrades will almost only be available during the Halloween period (29 October to 1 November). These temporary boosts come to an end on November 1st and their ratings revert back to match their initial release upgrade. After the Halloween period, the only difference between the Halloween cards and their respective original NIF cards is the colour and a small boost. However, the boost will be back at spooky times throughout the season.
2.1. When a Scream card is released it comes with a small boost (+1), compared with the respective NIF card.
2.2. The ratings and attributes of FUT 19 Ultimate Scream cards are boosted up to ten points, compared with their regular cards.
RULE 3
WINTER UPGRADES
If a player is upgraded, his Scream card will also be upgraded.
3.1. Usually, if an upgraded player’s new OVR rating equals or surpasses his existing first in-form’s rating, his special cards will get an upgrade. However, an exception is made to Ultimate Team Scream items. These cards are not take in consideration as special cards.
RULE 4
SQUAD BUILDING CHALLENGES
When Ultimate Scream items are boosted, they can be used in any SBC at their higher rating.
