Of course, the main attraction is Cristiano Ronaldo, but there are some other awesome cards in here too.

Overpowered centre-back Raphael Varane features this year, after his £40 million summer move to Old Trafford.

PSG new boy Achraf Hakimi is also in there, with teammate Sergio Ramos to follow in Team 2.

Release Date

Ones to Watch Team 1 will be released alongside the full launch of FIFA 22 on Friday, 1 October.

11 players will be released in Team 1, with a further three additional players released on Sunday, 3 October.

Ones to Watch

Ones to Watch cards have featured in the past couple of Ultimate Team seasons, and they will be back again in FUT 22.

If you are not sure how they work, then take a look at EA's summary below as there are some changes to the previous editions.

"As players show off their skills on the pitch for their new club, their Ones To Watch item will upgrade when they receive a performance-based in-form item such as Team of the Week and Man of the Match.
"New in FUT 22, OTW items will also be eligible for a ‘Wins to Watch’ upgrade, a one-time +1 In-Form boost if a team wins five matches out of their next ten domestic league games starting from October 1!"

Confirmed OTW players

We now know of 18 players that will feature in the event.

The confirmed players are as follows:

  • Lionel Messi (OVR 93)
  • Cristiano Ronaldo (OVR 91)
  • Sergio Ramos (OVR 88)
  • Romelu Lukaku (OVR 88)
  • Raphael Varane (OVR 86)
  • Achraf Hakimi (OVR 85)

  • Ibrahima Konate (OVR 78)

SBC & Objectives

We have already seen one Ones to Watch SBC, with Xherdan Shaqiri released exclusively for those with early access to the game.

Although not the highest-rated card around, Shaqiri certainly has the potential to be upgraded now he is plying his trade in France.

Continuing on the French theme, Eduardo Camavinga will be the first Ones to Watch card made available through the FUT 22 objectives.

We can't wait to add the Real Madrid wonderkid to our club this week.
