FIFA 22 launches soon, bringing the highly anticipated Ones to Watch (OTW) cards to Ultimate Team. Below, we've compiled all confirmed players, reliable leaks, and our informed predictions based on transfer activity and past trends.
Ultimate Team continues to dominate as FIFA's most engaging mode, with special promos like OTW keeping players hooked season after season.
EA Sports has confirmed the return of OTW alongside new FUT Heroes. Recent leaks on player ratings align with emerging OTW details. Here's everything you need to know.
OTW cards spotlight players who've made major transfers, featuring dynamic ratings that upgrade based on real-world performances for club and country.
Each Team of the Week (TOTW) selection triggers an in-game rating boost. For instance, in FIFA 21, Ferran Torres started at 81 overall, peaking at 84 on his OTW card, which it matched permanently.
A new "Wins to Watch" feature adds a +1 rating boost if the player's team wins 5 of 10 competitive matches post-October 1.
EA has officially revealed just one OTW for the initial wave: Real Madrid's David Alaba, who joined from Bayern Munich.
Expect more announcements leading up to launch. We'll update this guide accordingly.
