FIFA 22: how the Ones to Watch promotion works

FIFA 22 is out now, as is the first major Football Ultimate Team (FUT) promo of the year: Ones to Watch. Ones to Watch is back for FIFA 22 and highlights players who have switched places in the past few months. To celebrate these moves, EA has released special Ones to Watch cards. But what do these objects do? Let's go beyond the scope of these cards.

For EA, Ones to Watch (OTW) is a promo that highlights some of the biggest names that have moved in the transfer market over the course of the year. While most FIFA promotions will include upgraded player items that are several OVR points higher than the original base card, you should note that these cards do not have an OVR boost. In fact, to start with, these items will have the same stats as the base items, but will most likely change.

Player items to watch are dynamic and will change ratings based on the highest scoring card for that particular player in the game. For example, Manchester United striker Cristiano Ronaldo's Ones to Watch card will start the year at 91 OVR, the same as his base card. However, unlike his base card, Ronaldo's OTW card will increase in OVR if he receives a card in form at some point during the year, such as a Team of the Week or Man of the Match card.

Ones to Watch also has an additional twist in FIFA 22. New to FIFA 22 is a potential special “Wins to Watch” update. Beginning October 1, if an OTW player plays on a team that wins five of their next ten successive national league games, that card will receive an update of +1 GEN.
