How are Ones to Watch cards upgraded?
Ones to Watch cards will be upgraded every time the player receives a special card in game, such as a Team of the Week of Man of the Match. They will remain in their base position, even if the new special card is a different role.
FIFA 23 will also introduce 'Wins to Watch', a one-time upgrade to a player's stats if their team wins three matches out of their next eight league games, starting from September 30.
Cards will also be upgraded in relation to the World Cup later this year. 'Nations to Watch' will see OTW items given a one-off upgrade if their national team wins one game at this winter's tournament, regardless of whether the player in question scored, played or was even part of the squad.
