As of Friday, we’re getting our first look at the FIFA 19 Carniball players. This will be the newest FIFA Ultimate Team (FUT) in-game event and brings 14 player cards to packs. In addition, there are new objectives and daily SBCs. All of that makes for an exciting new event for gamers to participate in with FUT. Here are more details on what all is available in the game starting Friday (Mar. 8).
FIFA 19 Carniball Players: FUT cards include Neymar, Paulo Dybala
The new FIFA Carniball Ultimate Team event will feature a total of 26 different FIFA 19 player cards throughout. Players correspond with one of eight specific carnival countries. So gamers will see different players bringing it for parts of Argentina, Belgium, Brazil, France, Germany, Italy, Spain, and the United States.
The initial FIFA 19 Carniball Ultimate Team lineup is stacked with 14 players including top stars such as Neymar Jr., Franck Ribery, and Paulo Dybala. Neymar was featured as part of the recent FUT 19 Player Days promotion which re-released top in-form player cards. In Carniball, he brings the highest-rated card of all players with a 96, while Dybala boasts a 92. Four other players have 91-rated cards, making for some great FUT cards to pick up. It doesn’t stop with the 14 players in packs, either as there will be more players to achieve.

- ST1: Mauro Icardi 91 (Argentina / Inter Milan)
- ST2: Ciro Immobile 91 (Italy / SS Lazio)
