Frequently Asked Questions
FIFA 17 Halloween Cards Introduction
What is a Ultimate Scream card?
To celebrate the Halloween, Electronic Arts introduced in FIFA 17 a brand new card. These cards are assigned to a selection of players chosen based on exceptional real world performances, records and FUT attributes, and released all at once in a single FUT squad of 23 players.
These cards become available in packs for a week. During this period, which starts at 6pm (UK time), the FIFA 17 Halloween cards replace the corresponding regular not coloured cards. In other words, in the week a player gets his Halloween card in packs, it is impossible to find his regular card there. Your odds of pulling one of these cards from a pack are exactly the same of pulling the day 1 card of that player in another time.
If you own the regular card of a scream player, your card will keep unchanged. If you want the new version, you will need to buy the corresponding version in the market or pull it from a pack in that week.

FIFA 17 Halloween Cards Ratings and Stats
How big are the ratings and stats boosts?
From 21 October to 28 October, 23 Ultimate Scream players will be released in packs with upgraded ratings as unique items. However, these upgrades will only be available during the Halloween period (28 October 6pm ?? to 1 November). These temporary boosts come to an end on November 1st at 6pm GTM and their ratings revert back to match their initial release upgrade. After the Halloween period, the only difference between the Halloween cards and their respective original NIF cards is the colour and a small boost.
The ratings and attributes of FUT 17 Ultimate Scream cards are boosted up to ten points, compared with their regular cards.
FIFA 17 Halloween Cards Prices
What happens to the Halloween cards’ prices?
These new cards are sold for a higher price in the FUT transfer market because of four main reasons: many people like to collect them; the discard price of these cards are the same one of in form cards; they are slightly better than the day 1 cards; and most of all, to fulfil the special squad building challenges. The FIFA 17 Halloween cards will be more expensive as soon as they are released and their price will progressively drop over time.
Since this is the first promotion of the season, most of the prices will have a slightly drop.
