FC 27 Ultimate Scream Team 2 will launch on October 30th at 18:00 GMT. The roster includes Michael Olise, Lionel Messi, Khvicha Kvaratskhelia, and Hero players such as David Ginola.

In addition to the high-rated stars, these cards will be linked to the upcoming limited-time Beaver Moon upgrade system, providing players with new team composition options. Below is an introduction to the core players, the full roster, and the upgrade system for Team 2.

Core Players: Olise, Messi, and Hero Cards

Michael Olise: 92 OVR Offensive Core

Michael Olise is one of the most anticipated players in Ultimate Scream Team 2, with his special card achieving a total rating of 92 OVR and holding RM position. Data shows he has 93 DRI, 91 PAS, 85 PAC, and 85 SHO.

These attributes make Olise more suitable for playmaking and creating attacks on the wings in FC 27. His high dribbling ability helps him break through one-on-one situations on the wings, while his excellent passing attributes help him find teammates in the middle after advancing, or create shooting opportunities through cutback passes.

However, 85 PAC is not top-tier among attacking players of similar rating. Therefore, Olise's strengths are more likely to be in ball control, passing, and attacking decision-making, rather than simply relying on sprints to get past defenders. Players can use him to participate in wing playmaking, then finish the attack through teammates' forward runs.

Lionel Messi vs. Khvicha Kvaratskhelia: Two Attacking Styles

Lionel Messi's Ultimate Scream card has a 90 OVR, and his position is CAM. Data shows his DRI is 91, PAS is 90, and SHO is 88.

The CAM position allows Messi to participate more frequently in central playmaking, creating opportunities through short passes, dribbling, and through balls. Compared to speed-dependent wingers, he is better suited to finding gaps between the opponent's midfield and defense. However, his PAC is 80 and DEF is only 34, making him unsuitable for a lot of tracking back.

Khvicha Kvaratskhelia also has a 90 OVR and plays as a LW. His DRI is 91, PAC is 87, and SHO is 86.

Unlike Messi, who is more suited to central playmaking, Kvaratskhelia is better suited to carrying the ball down the flanks, dribbling past defenders, and then cutting inside to shoot or pass to teammates. He would be a worthwhile option to watch if the team lacks a winger who can create chances independently.

Three Hero Cards: Ginola, Laudehr, and Quaresma

Another major highlight of Team 2 is the three Hero cards: David Ginola, Simone Laudehr, and Ricardo Quaresma.

David Ginola is a 90 OVR LM (Midfielder). His PAC is 91, DRI is 92, and PAS is 88, providing a well-balanced performance in wing play, ball control, and playmaking.

Simone Laudehr has an OVR of 89 and plays as a CM (Midfielder). Her DEF and PHY are both 83, and her DRI is 86, making her suitable for lineups that require both midfield play and defensive contributions.

Ricardo Quaresma has an OVR of 87 and plays as a RW (Rear Wing). His DRI reaches 91, PAC is 88, and PAS is 86, making him better suited to creating attacking opportunities through skill moves, ball control, and passing.

The three Hero cards cover different aspects, including wing play, midfield balance, and technical wingers, offering players diverse options for team building.

Team 2 Full Roster

Besides the aforementioned highly anticipated players, Team 2, like Team 1, comprises 17 players. The full roster is as follows:

1. Michael Olise - 92 RM
2. David Ginola (Hero) - 90 LM
3. Khvicha Kvaratskhelia - 90 LW
4. Lionel Messi - 90 CAM
5. Simone Laudehr (Hero) - 89 CM
6. Federico Valverde - 88 CM
7. Scott McTominay - 87 CM
8. Ricardo Quaresma (Hero) - 87 RW
9. Mohamed Amoura - 85 ST
10. Pathé Ciss - 85 CDM
11. Ana-Maria Crnogorčević- 85 RW
12. Sveindís Jane Jónsdóttir - 85 ST
13. Laura Pérez - 85 RM
14. Matheus Cunha - 85 LM
15. Ivan Perišić - 85 LW
16. Julian Ryerson - 85 RB
17. Jeppe Tverskov - 85 CDM

In terms of overall ratings, Olise leads with 92 OVR, while Ginola, Kvaratskhelia, and Messi form the core of the second tier.

In midfield, Valverde and McTominay offer different tactical options, while Ciss and Tverskov can fulfill the needs of defensive midfield positions.

Beaver Moon Enhancement Mechanism

Besides the new player cards, another major highlight of FIFA 27 Ultimate Scream event is the Beaver Moon enhancement mechanism. Based on current event information, the enhancement is expected to last from November 24th to December 1st, providing a special week-long boost to relevant player cards, primarily including two effects:

• Single face stat to 99
• Full Chemistry

During the enhancement period, one of the player card's panel attributes will be temporarily increased to 99. Simultaneously, when playing in a valid position, the player will gain the full Chemistry effect, reducing restrictions imposed by league, club, and nationality combinations. Players will then have the opportunity to use stronger players for more flexible team compositions.

How to Prepare for Team 2?

Facing the upcoming Team 2, players should primarily consider their FIFA 27 coins reserves and the actual needs of their current squad.

Firstly, for players intending to acquire Michael Olise, Lionel Messi, or David Ginola, it is recommended to plan their coin budget in advance and avoid running out of funds before Team 2 launches.

Secondly, players should select target players based on the weaknesses of their current squad. If your team lacks wingers for breakthroughs, prioritize Khvicha Kvaratskhelia; if you need to strengthen your attacking organization, Messi and Olise are worth considering. Instead of simply pursuing high OVR, consider player position, attributes, and PlayStyles to choose cards that truly suit your tactics.

Furthermore, if you plan to participate in Beaver Moon enhancement, pay attention to the event dates and consider in advance which Ultimate Scream players are worth keeping. Limited-time attribute bonuses may increase the short-term practical value of some players, but it's not advisable to blindly hoard cards at high prices based solely on anticipated enhancements.

Overall, FUT 27 Ultimate Scream Team 2 not only brings high-rated stars like Olise and Messi, but also provides more options for team composition with Hero players. With the upcoming Beaver Moon enhancement, the practical performance and synergy of these new cards deserve continued attention.

Following the full launch of Ultimate Scream event last week, FC 27 has rolled out Title Update v1.1 on October 27th to further optimize the overall gaming experience and ensure the event proceeds smoothly.

In addition to fixing major bugs that have recently surfaced, this update includes various optimizations across the game's three core modes, as well as improvements to fundamental gameplay mechanics.

To help you quickly adapt to the changes introduced in Update 1.1, we've outlined the key updates below.

Career Mode

Regarding user experience, Update v1.1 features a visual overhaul of the team management interface, improving navigation and the readability of on-screen information.

New settings have also been added for specific gameplay elements, such as unexpected events, giving you greater control and autonomy over your Career Mode experience.

In terms of gameplay, Rivalry Objectives section has been added to Player Career mode, featuring two distinct types of objectives that encourage you to engage with the game in new ways.

For Manager Career mode, the focus has been placed on transfers and negotiations: the feedback provided during negotiations has been clarified, and the logic governing contracts and player wage structures has been refined.

Finally, the development team noted that one issue remains under investigation: some players may still request a transfer due to a lack of playing time, even when they have already met their expected appearance targets. This is expected to be addressed in a future update.

Ultimate Team

Compared to Career Mode, the optimizations for Ultimate Team in Update 1.1 focus primarily on bug fixes, a necessary step, given that many aspects of this mode involve online matchmaking, where the likelihood of encountering bugs is higher.

Beyond that, the update introduces a change long-requested by players since the closed beta phase: the duration of the reveal animations for many high-OVR player cards has been shortened.

While pulling such a player is certainly a cause for celebration, there's no need for the reveal animation to be overly long. Beyond flashy appearances, you likely care more about whether new players can deliver tangible benefits to your squad.

Another piece of good news: following the release of Update 1.1, your filter settings will now persist as you switch between different SBCs. These settings will remain active throughout your entire gaming session unless you close the game.

It's worth noting that a steady stream of SBCs is being released during the current Ultimate Scream event, making this a highly effective improvement for your overall event experience.

Ultimately, however, your ability to complete a specific SBC depends on whether the players in your club meet the requirements.

To avoid running into last-minute hurdles, it's best to buy FC 27 coins in advance, allowing you to acquire the specific types of players you're missing from the transfer market.

The Grounds

Updates to The Grounds mode in Update 1.1 fall into two main categories: bug fixes and the introduction of new content.

Unfortunately, the new features are still in development and will be rolled out in future updates; Title Update v1.1 does not provide further details on what these might entail.

As for bug fixes, they address a range of issues, from visual glitches and display errors to stuttering during matchmaking. Given the diverse gameplay elements within The Grounds, the optimization process is naturally more complex.

Gameplay

In line with standard practice for FUT 27 title updates, version 1.1 does not include any adjustments to gameplay balance or player stats. Instead, the focus remains on optimizing the experience and resolving technical issues that could disrupt your matches.

Other highlights for this week

In addition to Update 1.1 (arriving on the 27th), a new free Evolution event, Rise From the Grave, launched this past Monday, the 26th. It is scheduled to run for 17 days.

Free means you don't need to invest any coins or points to significantly boost OVR and specific attributes of eligible RM/RW players.

Perhaps the most anticipated addition this week is Ultimate Scream Team 2, expected to arrive on Friday, October 30th. This marks the arrival of new player cards and signals the end of Team 1 release.

We therefore recommend acting quickly to collect any Team 1 players you've had your eye on, especially highly sought-after cards like Cristiano Ronaldo. Even if your squad doesn't currently lack a player of this type, his long-term potential value remains immense.

Beyond the new squad, the second week of FIFA 27 Ultimate Scream event will feature the launch of Ghoul Fest. Meanwhile, the collection and redemption of Scream tokens will continue, be sure to plan your gaming schedule wisely to maximize your rewards.

As is customary, Team of the Week 7 (TOTW 7) is expected to arrive this Wednesday, October 28th. If your supply of coins or other resources is limited, it may be better to save them for the release of Ultimate Scream Team 2.

Additionally, in the pitch notes section of Update 1.1 gameplay overview, the development team indicated that further developer notes, detailing upcoming gameplay adjustments, will be released later this week.

While the exact date remains unconfirmed, it's shaping up to be a very busy week for FC 27 players; we highly recommend putting together a clear plan for the week ahead!
