The Hannibal’s Haunting Objective is now live in EA FC 27 Ultimate Team, and it gives players a way to earn two promo players and a large stack of seasonal tokens without grinding out online tournaments. Finish all four tasks before the set expires on November 7, 2026, and you walk away with 330 Ultimate Scream Tokens, meta chemistry consumables and two 84 OVR special cards.

That is the headline reward. The catch is that the set closes in just over a week, so players who want the bundle need a plan now, not later.

What you need to complete

The objective is made up of four challenges. You can run them in any FUT game mode, and the Squad Building Challenges menu also counts toward the set.

Shadow Runner asks you to assist at least one goal in seven separate matches with a player who has a minimum of 85 PAC. The reward is 50 Ultimate Scream Tokens, the Hunter Chemistry Style and the 84 OVR Nicolas Pépé Ultimate Scream.

Thirteen Nightmares asks you to score at least one goal in 13 separate matches with a ST listed as the main position. It pays out 50 Ultimate Scream Tokens and the Hunter Chemistry Style.

Witch’s Brew requires you to complete any four SBC Groups. The reward is 40 Ultimate Scream Tokens and the Shadow Chemistry Style.

Grave Keeper asks you to win six matches while fielding a Defender with a minimum of 66 DEF in your starting 11. It also pays 40 Ultimate Scream Tokens and the Shadow Chemistry Style.

Finish all four, and the set unlocks a final bonus of 150 Ultimate Scream Tokens, 100 SP, the La Tierra Badge and an 84 OVR Hannibal Mejbri Ultimate Scream. Add up the sub-objective payouts and the completion bonus, and you get the full 330-token haul.

The fastest route through the set

Here is the shortcut that matters most. The fastest way to finish the objective is to combine the pitch tasks into a single match plan, so you only have to play 13 games in total.

The fastest way to finish the Hannibal’s Haunting Objective in EA FC 27 Ultimate Team is to combine all three pitch tasks into a single match plan so you only have to play 13 games in total.

The logic is simple. Shadow Runner and Thirteen Nightmares can count toward the same matches. A single goal assisted by an 85+ PAC player and scored by your ST counts toward both challenges at once. Every match you play should be built with that goal in mind.

Because every in-game requirement works in any FUT game mode, you do not need to risk competitive matchmaking unless you want to. Players who prefer to avoid pressure have a clear option.

Pick the right mode. Squad Battles on Semi-Pro difficulty is the most efficient option for this grind. The halves are short, and you can count on goals, assists and wins against low-rated AI squads. Online players can jump into Division Rivals or Rush to progress weekly rewards at the same time. Squad Battles, however, makes sure you never waste a match without your striker scoring.

Lineup setup that does the work for you

Start with an attacking formation. The source recommends a 4-3-3 (4), 4-4-2 or 4-2-4 so your fast wingers keep feeding passes into your central striker.

Check your striker’s main position before you kick off. For Thirteen Nightmares, the player scoring your goals needs ST listed as their primary position on the card, not an alternate role. Once you finish your first seven matches and unlock 84 OVR Nicolas Pépé, you can slot him straight in, since his Ultimate Scream card has ST as his main position.

Pair an 85+ PAC winger or attacking midfielder with that striker. The goal is to set up your main-position striker during the first seven matches, which is where the double-counting trick pays off.

Keep a standard defender in your starting 11. The source notes that practically every gold center-back or full-back in Ultimate Team has over 66 Defending. Keep your normal backline intact, and Grave Keeper should clear automatically after your first six wins.

Clearing Witch’s Brew without spending coins

Witch’s Brew is the sub-objective most players will want to speed up. The suggested method is to submit low-rated untradeable bronze and silver cards into daily Bronze Upgrade or Silver Upgrade SBCs four times. Done this way, the source says you can clear it in under two minutes without spending coins.

The same upgrade SBCs can also help you progress the Ultimate Scream Puzzle Completionist Objective, so you can knock out two goals in one session.

Is the Hannibal Ultimate Scream card worth the grind?

The 84 OVR Hannibal Ultimate Scream is worth grinding for, especially since he costs zero coins. He comes bundled with 330 seasonal tokens and an 84 OVR Nicolas Pépé. His standout feature is CAM All Roles++ and CM All Roles++, which lets him slot into any central midfield or attacking midfield setup.

On the pitch, he feels quick and responsive in tight spaces. His 86 Agility, 86 Balance, 88 Ball Control and 4-Star Skill Moves make him a strong dribbler. The Technical and First Touch PlayStyles make him tough to dispossess when he turns away from pressing defenders.

His passing is built for quick link-up play. He combines 86 Short Pass, 85 Long Pass and 88 Curve with the meta Pinged Pass and Tiki Taka PlayStyles. Going forward, his 91 Attacking Positioning and 89 Shot Power make him dangerous on late runs into the box. His 85 Stamina, 89 Aggression and 76 Stand Tackle let him work as a box-to-box midfielder.

The weak spots are his 3-Star Weak Foot and 80 Finishing. Shift the ball onto his right foot before shooting. The free Shadow chemistry styles from this objective can turn him into an elite box-to-box CM, while a Hunter style makes him a dangerous CAM who is also well positioned for future Ultimate Team Evolutions.

Deadline and what to do next

Following this combined approach lets you claim both 84 OVR Nicolas Pépé and 84 OVR Hannibal Mejbri, along with all 330 Ultimate Scream Tokens, in just 13 matches.

Wrap up the objective before November 7, 2026. Missing that date means missing the two free Hunter and two free Shadow chemistry styles included in the bundle, and those styles are the reason many players are chasing this set in the first place.
