Last year we had Antonio Rüdiger, DeAndre Yedlin, Benjamin Mendy, Thiago, Giacomo Bonaventura, Hulk, Anthony Limbombe and Alejandro Gómez.
Flashback/Player Moments SBCs
As seen in a number of promotions of late, expect to see some Flashback and Player Moments SBCs dropped during the Carniball promotion.
These will look back at previous Carniball cards, as well as potential Carniball themed Player Moments cards.
Pack SBCs
Expect there to be some pack SBCs dropping, allowing players to obtain some decent packs at a cheaper rate.
Last year we saw a handful of Carniball Challenge SBCs released around the featured Carniball nations, and we expect to see something similar again.
Repeatable Upgrade SBCs
Despite not seeing any repeatable upgrade SBCs in FUT19’s Carniball promo, we expect to see a few released this year.

81+ Packs would be a likely release, allowing players to continue opening packs from SBCs in an attempt to pack the new Carniball cards.
Carniball Season Objectives
Last year during Carniball, we had tonnes of weekly objectives available, with four cards released during the promotion. Expect the same sort of content to feature this year via Season Objectives.
Packs and Lightning Rounds
Being a FUT Promotion, expect packs to be sold throughout, and a few lightning rounds throughout peak times in FUT, i.e. weekends from 6-8pm UK.
