Pre-order FIFA 23 Ultimate Edition before September 30 to sign an untradeable Ones To Watch player for your squad in 🧲 FIFA 23 Ultimate Team.
The FIFA World Cup 2024™ will have a big impact on how the season shapes up. During 🧲 the tournament, as Team of the Week is paused, we’ll be adding a brand new upgrade opportunity for Ones to 🧲 Watch Items called “Nations to Watch”. Nations to Watch will see Ones to Watch Items become eligible for a one-off 🧲 In-Form upgrade if their national team wins a game at the FIFA World Cup 2024™, regardless of whether the player 🧲 is on the pitch, on the bench or watching from home.
Ones To Watch players are also eligible for a “Wins 🧲 to Watch” upgrade, a one-time upgrade to their stats if their team wins three matches out of their next eight 🧲 domestic league games starting from Friday 30th September.
As they leave their mark on the pitch for their new clubs, players’ 🧲 Ones To Watch items will upgrade when they receive a performance-based special item such as Team of the Week or 🧲 Man of the Match.
They’ve made their big move, now the world is watching what’s next. Ones To Watch celebrates the 🧲 biggest signings of the transfer window with dynamic FIFA 23 Ultimate Team™ items that have the potential to upgrade all 🧲 season long based on how players perform for their new clubs.
How do Ones To Watch players upgrade?
Ones To Watch player 🧲 items will upgrade when a player receives a qualifying performance-based item (Team of the Week, Man of the Match) in 🧲 FIFA 23 Ultimate Team.
Ones To Watch players can also upgrade via the 'Wins to Watch' mechanic - based on their 🧲 team’s performances. They are eligible for a one-time upgrade if their team wins three out of their next eight domestic 🧲 league games starting from 30th September. The OTW players do not have to feature in the games for them to 🧲 count towards the upgrade.
In addition, FUT 23 includes an additional upgrade opportunity for OTW players tied to the FIFA World 🧲 Cup 2024™: 'Nations to Watch'. With Nations to Watch, Ones To Watch players will be eligible for a one-time upgrade 🧲 if their national team wins any game at the FIFA World Cup 2024™. 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.
When will more Ones 🧲 To Watch players be announced?
More Ones To Watch players will be announced in the run up to the launch of 🧲 FIFA 23 on September 30. Stay tuned to @EASPORTSFIFA on Twitter and @EASPORTSFUT on Instagram for the latest squad announcement 🧲 as they happen.
How does the Ones To Watch pre-order offer work?
For a limited time, if you pre-order FIFA 23 Ultimate 🧲 Edition before September 30, you will receive an untradeable Ones To Watch player item in FIFA 23 Ultimate Team.*
What happens 🧲 if a Ones To Watch Player’s in-form is in a different position to their Ones To Watch item?
The player’s position 🧲 on their Ones To Watch item will not change. They will however continue to receive upgrades from that and future 🧲 applicable in-forms.
How long will Ones To Watch Players continue to receive upgrades?
OTW items will only upgrade based on performances in 🧲 the 2024/23 domestic season.
What happens if a Ones To Watch Player is transferred/loaned to a different club?
If a OTW player 🧲 transfers/goes on loan during the season, the OTW item keeps the player's latest upgrade until the player receives an upgrade 🧲 at their new club, or receives the Nations to Watch upgrade. At that point the OTW item will be updated 🧲 with the player's new club and latest boosted item. If a player transfers to another club before they receive their 🧲 'Wins to Watch' upgrade, they will no longer be eligible for the bonus upgrade.
What happens if a Ones To Watch 🧲 Player is released by their club and no longer in their team's squad?
If a player is no longer in the 🧲 squad of the club their item is released for and does not join a new club, they will no longer 🧲 be eligible to receive any future additional upgrades. This includes the 'Wins to Watch' and ‘Nations to Watch’ upgrades.
