Ones to Watch has been the initial promo release in Ultimate Team for years and that was no different with FIFA 23!
The event once again brought the first set of live cards to FUT 23, with each able to gain boosts throughout the season.
Keep on top of all the latest Ones to Watch card upgrades in FIFA 23 Ultimate Team below and find out whether your investment was worth it.
Live Updates
After waiting for an age for any sort of impact on Ones to Watch players we have now hit a fine vein of form, with two Team of the Week squads in a row bringing upgrades to the cards in FIFA 23 Ultimate Team!
TOTW 23 gave us Robert Lewandowski and Gabriel Jesus, with TOTW 24 bringing a boost to Matthijs de Ligt (with the latest Man of the Match batch including Erling Haaland!).
The Dutchman scored the only goal of the game to keep Bayern Munich two points clear at the top of the Bundesliga, earning him an in-form upgrade.
His OTW item is an absolute beast and if you add a Shadow to it he gains the base stats of a 95-rated CB, with 90 PAC, 97 DEF and 92 PHY!

OTW Upgrades Explained
There are several ways Ones to Watch cards can be upgraded in FIFA 23 Ultimate Team.
OTW cards will automatically upgrade to the OVR of the latest performance-based in-form item the player has received, which includes Team of the Week (TOTW) and Man of the Match (MOTM).
They will gain a one-time upgrade through a 'Wins to Watch' bonus, which is achieved if their team wins three matches out of their next eight domestic league games, starting from Friday, 30 September.
Finally, new to FUT 23 is a 'Nations to Watch' bonus, which is again a one-time upgrade, earned if their national team wins any game at the World Cup.
For the Wins and Nations bonuses, the OTW players do not have to feature in the game or be part of their nation’s squad to be eligible for the upgrade.
