Leroy Sane Ones to Watch card FIFA 21

EA SPORTS are set to reveal a fresh batch of FIFA 21 Ones to Watch cards in Ultimate Team when the game releases this October, and we’ve thrown together some early predictions.

Domestic leagues across the world are eyeing a return to their regular football schedule, with the 2020/2021 season quickly approaching, it’s been no surprise to see clubs looking to add new players to their squads.

Whether you look at transfer rumors and gossip, or just confirmed moves, the market is certainly hotting up. Transfers mean new cards in FIFA Ultimate Team so you can start to get a feel for what you want to do in the next game. Amongst these new cards are a select group called the Ones to Watch.

These highly sought-after cards represent some of the biggest, and most interesting, moves of the transfer window and if you get one, they’ll update whenever your player gets an upgrade – be it a TOTW or such. 

FIFA 21 Ultimate Edition pre-order details
A single Ones to Watch card will be collected by thousands of players who pre-ordered FIFA 21 Ultimate Edition.

We already know that new Chelsea forward Timo Werner is getting a special card after EA announced that on Instagram, and it seems like that new teammate Ben Chilwell will join him. Gareth Bale is also getting a card after returning to Spurs. 

Further afield, Leroy Sane has finally swapped Manchester City for Bayern Munich, so he’ll probably get one too. As will his replacement Ferran Torres. Everton have signed Allan from Napoli and James Rodriguez from Real Madrid, and they would make sense as OTWs too. Though, they’ve not been announced.
