The FIFA World Cup 2024™ will have a big impact on how the season shapes up. During 5️⃣ the tournament, as Team of the Week is paused, we’ll be adding a brand new upgrade opportunity for Ones to 5️⃣ Watch Items called “Nations to Watch”. Nations to Watch will see Ones to Watch Items become eligible for a one-off 5️⃣ In-Form upgrade if their national team wins a game at the FIFA World Cup 2024™, regardless of whether the player 5️⃣ is on the pitch, on the bench or watching from home.
Ones To Watch players are also eligible for a “Wins 5️⃣ to Watch” upgrade, a one-time upgrade to their stats if their team wins three matches out of their next eight 5️⃣ domestic league games starting from Friday 30th September.
As they leave their mark on the pitch for their new clubs, players’ 5️⃣ Ones To Watch items will upgrade when they receive a performance-based special item such as Team of the Week or 5️⃣ Man of the Match.
They’ve made their big move, now the world is watching what’s next. Ones To Watch celebrates the 5️⃣ biggest signings of the transfer window with dynamic FIFA 23 Ultimate Team™ items that have the potential to upgrade all 5️⃣ season long based on how players perform for their new clubs.
How do Ones To Watch players upgrade?
Ones To Watch player 5️⃣ items will upgrade when a player receives a qualifying performance-based item (Team of the Week, Man of the Match) in 5️⃣ FIFA 23 Ultimate Team.
Ones To Watch players can also upgrade via the 'Wins to Watch' mechanic - based on their 5️⃣ team’s performances. They are eligible for a one-time upgrade if their team wins three out of their next eight domestic 5️⃣ league games starting from 30th September. The OTW players do not have to feature in the games for them to 5️⃣ count towards the upgrade.
In addition, FUT 23 includes an additional upgrade opportunity for OTW players tied to the FIFA World 5️⃣ Cup 2024™: 'Nations to Watch'. With Nations to Watch, Ones To Watch players will be eligible for a one-time upgrade 5️⃣ if their national team wins any game at the FIFA World Cup 2024™.
