The return of Paul Pogba to FC 26 has created massive excitement in the Ultimate Team community, and his Ultimate Scream Squad Building Challenge is one of the most anticipated SBCs of this promo. Here’s everything you need to know about this Halloween themed player pick. This special SBC offers players a unique choice between a CDM and CAM version of the French midfielder, both rated 86 overall but designed for completely different roles on the pitch.
CDM Version, his key stats are 76 Pace, 78 Shooting, 83 Passing, 85 Dribbling, 86 Defending and 84 Physicality an absolute monster of a card. His playstyles are even more impressive Intercept+, Trickster and Press Proven. He also have roles, (CDM) Deep Lying Playmaker++, (CM) Box to Box+ and CM Playmaker +.
CAM Version, his key stats are 80 Pace, 83 Shooting, 86 Passing, 88 Dribbling, 60 Defending and 70 Physicality. A little weaker than his CDM stats, given the CAMs available this year his CDM is much better to complete. The playstyles are Incisive Pass+, Dead Ball, Long Ball Pass, Inventive, Technical and Trickster. His roles are (CAM) Shadow Striker ++ (CM) Box to Box + (CM) Playmaker +. Both versions retain his signature 5 Star Skill Moves and 4 Star Weak Foot, making him an immediate threat in the midfield.
The most exciting aspect of the Ultimate Scream cards is the live upgrade system tied to the lunar cycle. The upgrades are permanent, significantly increasing the card’s longevity in your Ultimate Team club. Beaver Moon Upgrade (November 5, 2025): The card receives a Role+ boost, a PlayStyle boost to all positions and alternate positions, and a temporary 99 stat boost to one random Face Stat for 7 days. Cold Moon Upgrade (December 4, 2025): The card is boosted again with a Role++ addition, further enhancing its in-game attributes. Another temporary 99 stat boost to a random Face Stat will apply for 7 days. This means you get a consistently improving card with two windows where one of his face stats (like Pace, Shooting, or Dribbling) turns into a perfect 99 for a week.
The challenge requires you to complete three separate squads with the following specifications. It should cost you 220-230K coins to complete from scratch. The pricing reflects Pogba’s immense popularity, his 5 star skill moves, and the versatility of having two position options to choose from. His strong links to Ligue 1 and French national team players make him an excellent addition to hybrid squads. You need to submit 3 teams and it is only available for one week so you better get to it, if you want to complete the SBC.
Which Version to Complete?
Choose the CDM (Defensive) Version: If you need a commanding presence at the base of your midfield. The Intercept and Anticipate PlayStyles+ are highly effective defensively, and his large frame makes him excellent at shielding the ball and winning tackles. Be aware of the lower Stamina and Reactions on this card, which may require a substitution later in the game. This is the general preference of most players including myself.
Choose the CAM (Attacking) Version: If you want a creative force in the final third. The Incisive Pass and Trickster PlayStyles+ make him a dangerous playmaker and a menace on the ball, ready to set up chances or score with his boosted shooting.
Regardless of your choice, the Ultimate Scream Pogba SBC is one of the premier early game promos, offering a unique and powerful card that will remain relevant for weeks thanks to the full moon upgrades.
