Pre-order FIFA 23 Ultimate Edition before September 30 to sign an untradeable Ones To Watch player for your squad in 8️⃣ FIFA 23 Ultimate Team.
The FIFA World Cup 2024™ will have a big impact on how the season shapes up. During 8️⃣ the tournament, as Team of the Week is paused, we’ll be adding a brand new upgrade opportunity for Ones to 8️⃣ Watch Items called “Nations to Watch”. Nations to Watch will see Ones to Watch Items become eligible for a one-off 8️⃣ In-Form upgrade if their national team wins a game at the FIFA World Cup 2024™, regardless of whether the player 8️⃣ is on the pitch, on the bench or watching from home.
Ones To Watch players are also eligible for a “Wins 8️⃣ to Watch” upgrade, a one-time upgrade to their stats if their team wins three matches out of their next eight 8️⃣ domestic league games starting from Friday 30th September.
As they leave their mark on the pitch for their new clubs, players’ 8️⃣ Ones To Watch items will upgrade when they receive a performance-based special item such as Team of the Week or 8️⃣ Man of the Match.
They’ve made their big move, now the world is watching what’s next. Ones To Watch celebrates the 8️⃣ biggest signings of the transfer window with dynamic FIFA 23 Ultimate Team™ items that have the potential to upgrade all 8️⃣ season long based on how players perform for their new clubs.
How do Ones To Watch players upgrade?
Ones To Watch player 8️⃣ items will upgrade when a player receives a qualifying performance-based item (Team of the Week, Man of the Match) in 8️⃣ FIFA 23 Ultimate Team.
Ones To Watch players can also upgrade via the 'Wins to Watch' mechanic - based on their 8️⃣ team’s performances. They are eligible for a one-time upgrade if their team wins three out of their next eight domestic 8️⃣ league games starting from 30th September. The OTW players do not have to feature in the games for them to 8️⃣ count towards the upgrade.
In addition, FUT 23 includes an additional upgrade opportunity for OTW players tied to the FIFA World 8️⃣ Cup 2024™: 'Nations to Watch'. With Nations to Watch, Ones To Watch players will be eligible for a one-time upgrade 8️⃣ if their national team wins any game at the FIFA World Cup 2024™. The OTW players do not have to 8️⃣ feature in the game, or be part of their nation’s squad to be eligible for the upgrade.
When will more Ones 8️⃣ To Watch players be announced?
More Ones To Watch players will be announced in the run up to the launch of 8️⃣ FIFA 23 on September 30. Stay tuned to @EASPORTSFIFA on Twitter and @EASPORTSFUT on Instagram for the latest squad announcement 8️⃣ as they happen.
How does the Ones To Watch pre-order offer work?
For a limited time, if you pre-order FIFA 23 Ultimate 8️⃣ Edition before September 30, you will receive an untradeable Ones To Watch player item in FIFA 23 Ultimate Team.*
What happens 8️⃣ if a Ones To Watch Player’s in-form is in a different position to their Ones To Watch item?
The player’s position 8️⃣ on their Ones To Watch item will not change. They will however continue to receive upgrades from that and future 8️⃣ applicable in-forms.
How long will Ones To Watch Players continue to receive upgrades?
OTW items will only upgrade based on performances in 8️⃣ the 2024/23 domestic season.
What happens if a Ones To Watch Player is transferred/loaned to a different club?

At that point the OTW item will be updated 8️⃣ with the player's new club and latest boosted item. If a player transfers to another club before they receive their 8️⃣ 'Wins to Watch' upgrade, they will no longer be eligible for the bonus upgrade.
What happens if a Ones To Watch 8️⃣ Player is released by their club and no longer in their team's squad?
If a player is no longer in the 8️⃣ squad of the club their item is released for and does not join a new club, they will no longer 8️⃣ be eligible to receive any future additional upgrades. This includes the 'Wins to Watch' and ‘Nations to Watch’ upgrades.
