It's that time of the year again, when things go bump in the night and we all play Michael Jackson's Thriller one time too many. To celebrate Halloween, EA Sports has unleashed the FIFA 19 'Ultimate Scream' promotion, with a number of lovely limited edition cards up for grabs.
FIFA fans will no doubt be aware that 'Ultimate Scream' is an annual event in FIFA Ultimate Team, and this year's effort looks like one of the best yet. 21 shapeshifting players are up for grabs, but what's the big deal about them? Well, they have two of their stats boosted to an impressive 90 rating.
If you are interested in this promotion, we'd recommend that you check out the Ultimate Scream FAQ on EA Sport's website which should get you up to speed quickly.
Let us know if you'll be taking part in this spooky event with a comment below.

I play Michael Jackson's GHOSTS and Is It Scary one too many times, both better songs than THRILLER... in my opinion.
still not gonna save fifa on switch...
Strike fear into your friends, by showing them you still buy EA games.
That one guy in blue with the eyepatch is basically Undyne from Undertale now.
Actually there's no way in hell that's coincidental. It even has the bandages, eyepatch placement, red hair and yellow teeth.
The scary part is how FIFA still sells well despite all the micro transactions.
@AxeltheBuizel The terrifying part is it doesn't need to, as long as the whales keep dumping money into it. The microtransactions eclipse any profits from the sale of the actual game, by a large margin.
@Regpuppy the horrific part is that EA basically ignores the Switch and Labels it as a FIFA machine. I'm not an EA fan but it could really benefit from triple A America games.
@Captain_EO Ghosts is such a good song. I know everybody hypes old school MJJ but a lot of his newer stuff was really good.
I've been buying fifa games for years. I have never once spent money on micro transactions. Every year i enjoy playing it. Am i gaming wrong???
@blockfight
According to EA, yes.
@Ryu_Niiyama thanks for sharing that! HIStory is my favourite album and later songs like Is It Scary, Whatever Happens, We've Had Enough, and Morphine are right up there with the like of Billie Jean, as far as I'm concerned.
@derty FIFA 19 on switch is definitely better that FIFA18 switch.
well worth the £30 i paid for it £55 is too much i believe however id say £40 is fair.
I will say that i hated ultimate team though, blatant cash grab that i completely plan to side-step. Ill admit that Career mode does not seem as good as master league in pes though. but its best footie game on switch.
FIFA 19 actually does have a fair few game-play tweaks over FIFA 18.
@AxeltheBuizel i am coming to the conclusion that big business does not like any manner of risk. In doing so they are ignoring a huge market clamouring for more serious games.
I believe that they could surely reuse the FIFA 19 engine to bring us NBA, NHL, GOLF and MADDEN.
id personally be tempted by 2 -3 if they were decent enough.
Money waiting to be taken its a shame is all i am saying.
@AxeltheBuizel Yup. I bet the Titanfall series would do better on the Switch than on PC/PS4/Xbox One combined. Just needs a significant downgrade in graphics. I'm all for a return to the simple polygon glory days of the early Mech Warrior games.
@Painkiller_Mike for me it's the Star Wars Battlefront series. I have the 2nd one and it's pretty good especially since everything content wise is free, and I would kill for it on Switch. Even better would be if the ported the original game. I'd pay a ton of money for that!
@blockfight i played fifa 18 over year only got 2 special players. and none over 90 only ones I have I had use the coins. so no micro transactions = garbage
@Captain_EO Thats just crazy talk.
@Beatley82 Call me crazy then 😂 I assume you've actually listened to the songs I mentioned...?
@Captain_EO Of course, otherwise I would not have been in a position to comment. I can't agree that either song is even close to Thriller. Thriller is one of the all time great pop songs for good reason.
I have Fellaini out of these ones, played a couple of games with him. According to Futwiz, he's 89 OVR in my team with Gladiator modifier.
Bought the card for 80k.
It's pretty good.
@Beatley82 THRILLER is a phenomenon because of the album, short film, the sheer impact Michael was having on everyone... It was an era. As a song, on its own? It's great, but he has done infinitely better work.
@Anguspuss
I just play the football rather than FUT. No micro transactions and a fun game. Win win.
Microtransactions in a full priced retail game. Vile.
@Anguspuss I don't play that game mode so i guess that's why it doesn't bother me.
Fair enough!
