Every major promo brings panic to the FC 26 market—but smart investors see this as the best time to grow their FC 26 Ultimate Team Coins. The Ultimate Scream promo has caused center-mid cards to plummet, fodder prices to spike, and market uncertainty to dominate. But with the right strategy, you can turn this volatility into pure profit.
Right now, center midfielders are the biggest victims of the SBC storm. With multiple center-mid SBCs like Busquets and Pogba dropping, many players dumped their cards too early. The best move is to buy these cards during peak panic—usually Friday night or Saturday morning—and sell them once the market stabilizes by Tuesday. Cards like Frankie de Jong and Alexia Putellas consistently rebound 10–20% after the initial crash.
Meanwhile, fodder cards continue to rise due to the constant demand from high-value SBCs. Buying 87–89-rated cards before Friday content drops and selling them Sunday night can generate thousands of coins per trade. Traders using the “lazy buyer” method—listing items 750 coins above the lowest BIN—are consistently cashing in.
Weekend League rewards also contribute to price swings. Expect a big influx of supply on Sundays and Mondays, followed by recovery mid-week. If you time your flips well, especially on cards leaving packs like Leny Yoro, you can earn up to 500K during the promo. The Ultimate Scream panic may frighten casuals, but for strategic traders, it’s the perfect time to stack FC 26 Ultimate Team Coins.
