FIFA 22 Ultimate Team is very nearly upon us, which means the newest batch of Ones to Watch cards won’t be too far behind. We’ve got all the confirmed players below, as well as our predictions.

Ultimate Team continues to be the most popular mode in the FIFA series, and the unique promotional cards added each year go a long way in keeping players engaged.

EA has already announced the addition of FUT Heroes in FIFA 22, and the return of Ones to Watch cards will have fans equally excited.

Now, just as the top 100 players have started being unveiled, the publisher has also announced more Ones to Watch cards. We’ve got every confirmed card below, along with our predictions for the full line-up.

What are Ones to Watch cards?

Perhaps one of the biggest draws in Ultimate Team is how real, on-the-pitch action directly impacts the mode.

Ones to Watch cards are special items depicting players who have recently transferred to a new team. These players have dynamic ratings which get higher and higher to match their performances for club and country.

Each time that player is awarded a Team of the Week in-game, their overall rating will match it. For example, in FIFA 21, Ferran Torres was rated 81 but received an 84-rated in-form card. His Ones to Watch went up to the same rating and remained there for the rest of the year.

A new feature announced could also see these items get a special one-time upgrade. The ‘Wins to Watch’ mechanic means that if an OTW player’s team wins five out of ten competitive matches after October 1, they receive a rating boost of plus one.

FIFA 22 Ultimate Team confirmed Ones to Watch

EA announced that Ones to Watches would be returning once again in FIFA 22, but so far, they have only officially revealed a handful of players.

Real Madrid’s David Alaba, who moved from Bayern Munich over the summer, was the first to be confirmed alongside the post explaining that the promotion will be back again this year.

EA has revealed that the Team of the Week is returning to FIFA 22 Ultimate Team. This time, however, they’re addressing some long-running fan complaints. Here’s how TOTW will work in this year’s game.

Ultimate Team remains the most popular mode in the FIFA series. One of the many reasons for this is the way it incorporates real-world football into its addictive gameplay loop through special cards, such as Icons or the new FUT Heroes.

One of the mode’s oldest special items is the Team of the Week, which offers players a weekly batch of new upgraded cards to help build out their squads. We’ve got everything you need to know about FUT TOTW right here.

We’ll be updating this hub with the latest FIFA 22 TOTW, so be sure to check back here every week.

What are TOTW cards in FIFA 22 Ultimate Team?

Team of the Week items are special cards that provide a boost in stats based on that player’s performance in the previous week of real-world games. Any player awarded an in-form will see both their ratings and in-game stats get a permanent increase

Every week, EA unveils a 23-man squad of the stars who had the best games in the previous round of domestic or international fixtures. They could be awarded for a last-minute winner in a big game, or a heroic performance from a goalkeeper to keep a clean sheet.

• Read more: FIFA 22 Web App guide: Release date, features, & tips

Each of TOTW is available in packs for a full week until it is replaced by the next squad on the following Wednesday. Player’s can not receive an in-form two weeks in a row.

While the in-form card is in packs, it replaces the base version of that player. The normal card will return to packs when that TOTW is over.

FIFA 22 Ultimate Team Featured TOTW

In FIFA 22, EA have addressed fans’ complaints that TOTW items are often quickly rendered useless by the other promotional cards added to the game throughout the year.

Every week, one player will receive a special Featured TOTW card. These players will receive a larger boost than the rest of the squad, in an attempt to make them more desirable to those building their teams.

To qualify for this additional stat-boost, the player must have a base card that is under 80-rated, and not have any other performance-based card in packs – such as a Ones to Watch.

FIFA 22 FUT TOTW 1

Team of the Week items won’t start being released until fans have their hands on the game and a batch of real-life fixtures have been played.

• Read more: All FIFA 22 Women’s Teams & top player ratings

Historically, EA announces the latest TOTW every Wednesday at 10 AM PT / 2 PM ET / 6 PM GMT, although they are yet to confirm if they will stick to the same schedule for FIFA 22.

We’ll post all of the players in TOTW 1 right here as and when they are revealed. Be sure to check back here every week for the latest squad announcement.
