We’re still waiting with bated breath for this year’s FIFA 23, which will mark the end of an era by being the last in the legendary series. With this in mind, there’s no excuse not to really get stuck in with this one – learn all the stats, build a killer team, win… and do it all again.
If you’re playing tactically in the FIFA Ultimate Team (FUT) mode, you’ll want to know the Ones to Watch cards. They’re special and dynamic cards, and thus they can improve and change throughout the whole year. What’s cool about Ones to Watch is that the players’ stats change, depending on how their real-life counterparts are performing!
It’s a promotion that celebrates the biggest transfers of the year, and it’s one of the first big events in the FIFA community. Here, we’ll go over when to expect things, and what to expect!
FIFA 23 Ones to Watch release date
Ones to Watch will actually be released on 30th September 2022 – exactly the same date as FIFA 23’s official release. So you won’t have to wait around to start building your dream team with the help of this nifty little promotion.
However, there will be a mini promotion on 2nd October, so be sure to check that out for even more OTW cards!

There are a fair few players confirmed already who will have their in-game stats determined by their real life performances (pretty brave if you ask us).
