Live Updates
We've been waiting since Team of the Week 13 for more Ones to Watch players to gain an upgrade and now two have come at once!
The boosts aren't down to TOTW inclusions, but because of the latest batch of Man of the Match items to drop in FIFA 23 Ultimate Team.
Both come from Serie A, with Paulo Dybala and Angel Di Maria included in the MOTM squad, with an 89 OVR and 87 OVR rating, respectively.
That saw their OTW items upgraded to 90 OVR and 88 OVR, updated live in-game on Monday, 6 March.

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.
