Why Park Ji-Sung’s Ultimate Scream Card Matters
Park Ji-Sung’s base Hero card has been underwhelming this cycle despite representing one of football’s most versatile midfielders. His original positions—CAM (Central Attacking Midfielder) and LM (Left Midfielder)—don’t match his real-life role as a box-to-box workhorse for Manchester United.
The leaked Ultimate Scream version addresses this critical flaw. If EA grants him a CM (Central Midfielder) alternative position, Park suddenly becomes one of the most complete midfielders in the game. His rumored 87 Pace and 87 Dribbling combined with 80 Defending create the perfect box-to-box profile that dominated the Premier League during his prime years.
The former Manchester United midfielder is renowned for his versatility and his tenacious approach to the sport, making him an excellent option for squads needing defensive contribution alongside offensive support.

Full Moon Upgrades Add Extra Value
What makes Ultimate Scream cards special in EA FC 26 isn’t just the initial stats—it’s the scheduled Full Moon upgrades that create temporary god-tier players:
November 5 (Beaver Moon): One face stat temporarily becomes 99-rated for seven days, plus Role+ across all positions
December 4 (Cold Moon): Another face stat hits 99-rated for seven days, plus Role++ across all positions
These position role upgrades are permanent, meaning Park Ji-Sung could eventually function as an elite CM, CDM, CAM, or even RM with maxed-out role effectiveness. This flexibility justifies holding the card long-term rather than flipping for quick profit.

Hero Chemistry: The Hidden Advantage
Beyond stats, Park Ji-Sung offers Hero chemistry perks that make squad building significantly easier. Heroes provide:
- Full Chemistry to players from the same league (Premier League)
- Chemistry boost to players from the same nation (South Korea)
- Icon-lite flexibility without requiring perfect links
With Premier League dominance in the current meta, Park slots seamlessly into hybrid squads while maintaining full chemistry for Haaland, Salah, Son Heung-min, and other elite attackers. This chemistry flexibility often separates good squads from elite squads in Division Rivals and FUT Champions.
Expected SBC Cost Analysis
Based on the leaked stats and potential CM alternative position, a price around 300,000 coins is reasonable for a player of this caliber. Let’s break down whether this represents good value:
Comparable Players:
- IF Bruno Fernandes (87): ~250,000 coins, but tradeable
- Hero Yaya Touré (88): ~400,000 coins with similar profile
- IF Rodri (88): ~280,000 coins but lacks pace
Park’s untradeable nature means you’re committing resources without the safety net of reselling. However, his unique stat combination—high pace with solid defending—fills a gap that tradeable alternatives can’t match at this price point.
Value Verdict: If you run a Premier League squad and need a versatile midfielder who can defend and attack, 300K is fair value. If you prefer meta pace merchants or plan to liquidate your squad later, wait for tradeable alternatives.
When Will the SBC Release?
The Ultimate Scream promo runs in two phases:
- Team 1: October 24-31, 2025
- Team 2: October 31 – November 7, 2025
Park Ji-Sung could be the first Hero item to receive a promo version via an SBC, making this particularly exciting for collectors and Manchester United fans. Most high-tier SBCs drop on Fridays at 6 PM GMT, so expect Park between November 1-4, 2025.

Squad Building Recommendations
If you complete the Park Ji-Sung SBC, maximize his effectiveness with these pairings:
Best Partners (CM/CDM):
- Rodri (defensive stability)
- Declan Rice (physicality + interceptions)
- Casemiro (destroyer role)
Best Formation:
- 4-3-3 (allows Park as box-to-box CM)
- 4-2-3-1 (pair with defensive CDM, push Park forward)
- 4-1-2-1-2 (narrow, both CMs support attack and defense)
Chemistry Links:
- Son Heung-min (perfect green link)
- Any Premier League player (orange link minimum)
- Icons (for hybrid flexibility)
Discover advanced squad building techniques to create dominant formations around versatile midfielders like Park.
Should You Complete This SBC?
Complete if:
- You run a Premier League-focused squad
- You need a versatile CM who can attack and defend
- You plan to keep the card through December for Full Moon upgrades
- You’re a Manchester United or South Korea supporter
Skip if:
- You prefer tradeable assets for flexibility
- Your squad doesn’t use Premier League players
- You’re saving coins for Team of the Year (January 2026)
- You already have elite box-to-box midfielders
Alternative Options
If 300K feels steep, consider these alternatives:
Budget Option: Gold Rare Eriksen (~15K) offers similar passing but lacks pace and defending
Mid-Tier: IF Amadou Onana (~120K) provides physicality and defending but lower technical stats
Premium: Hero Claude Makélélé (~450K) offers defensive excellence but minimal attacking contribution
Each serves different purposes, but Park’s balanced profile uniquely combines attack, defense, and chemistry flexibility.
FAQs
Q1: Will Park Ji-Sung’s Ultimate Scream card be tradeable or untradeable?
All SBC rewards in EA FC26 are untradeable, meaning once you complete the Park Ji-Sung Ultimate Scream Hero SBC, you cannot sell or transfer the card. This is standard for all Squad Building Challenges—they offer slightly better value than market prices because you forfeit the option to trade. Before committing 300,000 coins worth of players, ensure you’ll genuinely use Park in your squad long-term, especially since Ultimate Scream cards receive two additional Full Moon upgrades on November 5 and December 4 that significantly boost their effectiveness.
Q2: How does Park Ji-Sung compare to other Premier League midfielders in the same price range?
Park Ji-Sung’s leaked 88-rated Ultimate Scream card occupies a unique niche combining pace, defending, and Premier League Hero chemistry that few alternatives match. Compared to tradeable options like IF Bruno Fernandes (250K, better passing/shooting but weaker defending), IF Rodri (280K, superior defending but only 70 pace), or Hero Yaya Touré (400K, similar profile but more expensive), Park offers the best balance of box-to-box capabilities. His 87 Pace particularly stands out—most defensive-minded midfielders sit around 65-75 pace. The CM position alternative (if confirmed) makes him viable in multiple formations, whereas his base Hero card’s CAM/LM positions severely limited usability. For Premier League squads needing versatile midfield coverage, Park represents excellent value at 300K.
