CAM or CDM? Who to Choose From Ultimate Scream Pogba SBC

EA Sports has dropped one of the most exciting SBCs of the year: the Ultimate Scream Paul Pogba SBC in FC 26 Ultimate Team. And, to be honest, this may be the best SBC we've seen so far in FC 26.

This SBC allows you to choose between a CAM version or a CDM version, each with different PlayStyle+ boosts that meaningfully affect how he performs in-game.

Here's a closer look at Pogba's SBC card details, including stats, positions, and how each version performs on the pitch.

CAM Version - Incisive Pass+

If you like controlling possession and creating chances, this is your Pogba.

The CAM option emphasizes Pogba's creative qualities. The Incisive Pass+ PlayStyle+ improves how he plays through balls, which has strong impact in the current meta where timed passes behind the back line are consistently effective.

In possession, he shields well due to his size and maintains excellent control when turning under pressure. He excels at dictating rhythm and advancing play into dangerous attacking zones.

Drawback: His finishing is still limited, so he works better as the chance-creator rather than the goal-scorer.

Recommend Chemistry Styles

• Engine: Improves dribbling and balance for smoother control.
• Finisher: Adds shooting ability if used closer to goal.

Recommend Formations

• 4-1-2-1-2 (narrow): Central CAM
• 4-2-3-1: Playmaking central CAM
• 4-3-3 (attack): Advanced CM role

This version suits players who like patient buildup and structured possession play.

CDM Version - Intercept+

If you prefer structure, balance, and defensive control, the CDM version is where Pogba truly shines.

The CDM version shifts Pogba into a more controlling, defensive-minded profile. Intercept+ helps him read passing lanes more effectively, making him stronger at breaking up opponent attacks. His physical presence, reach, and balance allow him to play a midfield enforcer role.

He's not the fastest defensive midfielder, but his anticipation and physicality compensate well.

Recommend Chemistry Styles

• Shadow: Boosts speed and defensive awareness.
• Anchor: Strengthens physical dominance.

Recommend Formations

• 4-2-3-1: Defensive CM next to a pure DM
• 4-3-3 (holding): Central pivot
• 4-4-2: Balanced box-to-box partnership

This version fits players who want stability in midfield and controlled defensive pressure.

How Is This Year's Ultimate Scream Different from Previous Years?

In earlier versions of the event, Ultimate Scream cards mainly featured temporary or theme-based stat boosts that didn't significantly change how the player behaved on the pitch. This year, the promo focuses on permanent PlayStyle+ upgrades that directly influence in-game actions, such as passing style, defensive anticipation, or ball control.

Because of this, the difference between card versions, like Pogba's CAM vs CDM options. It feels more like choosing a role or playstyle rather than just comparing numerical stat boosts.

If you pick the version that fits your playstyle, Pogba performs incredibly well. He's strong, creative, fun to use, and feels unique compared to other midfielders.

In a game full of similar cards, this one is truly a must-do. Whether you take the Incisive Pass+ version and use him as a smooth playmaker or the Intercept+ version for a powerful midfielder, you'll receive one of the most enjoyable SBC cards in FC 26.
