But given the challenge’s steep price, making sure you get the best version of the English star is a necessity. After all, no one wants to spend all of their fodder/coins, only to get diminishing results later on. To help you with that, here’s which Ultimate Scream Rashford you should pick in EA FC 26, as well as how to complete the SBC while saving as much as possible.

ST Vs RW: Which Ultimate Scream Rashford Should You Pick in EA FC 26?

Even if we ignore the meta, those looking to complete the Ultimate Scream Rashford SBC in FC 26 will find in the RW variant the best return, as its Inside Forward++ role, high PAC, and 5-star Weak Foot can carry you a long way. You can also counter its lack of a PlayStyle+ via the game’s Season 2 Pass Finesse Shot+ evolution, unlocked as a premium reward at level 35. For a better look at the card, here’s a detailed comparison between both the ST and RW variants:

Before checking out how to complete the SBC, we must point out that, even if you are certain you can unlock the aforementioned PlayStyle+ evolution, getting Rashford is highly unadvised. Remember, you can actually get a new and way more enticing Ultimate Scream player in Park Ji-Sung, who costs pretty much the same. Many have also been able to evolve their Gold Rare variants enough to rival both Ultimate Scream cards with minimal investment, which further hurts them in the long run.

Adding an extra step when compared to Pogba, the Ultimate Scream Rashford SBC demands four squads (two 85-rated, one 86-rated, and one 87-rated) worth a cumulative amount of around 200 to 250K coins.
