FIFA 22 Ones to Watch Team 2: Messi, Lukaku, Ramos

David Purcell

FIFA 22 Ones to Watch Team 2 is on the verge of being released by EA SPORTS in Ultimate Team. Here’s everything you need to know. 

Much of the football offseason was dominated by EURO 2020 and the Copa America, and rightly so, we here in the Dexerto writing room say. That being said, the transfers haven’t stopped, even into the season proper.

One of the biggest sagas of the summer has been Jadon Sancho to Manchester United. The Englishman had recently penned a rich new £190k-a-week contract with Borussia Dortmund, but the Premier League giants have been able to prize their transfer target away from the Germans in a £73m signing coup.

Liverpool has also boosted their backline stock with Ibrahima Konate (£36m) and Leicester scooped up French wunderkind Boubakary Soumare on a five-year deal. Meanwhile, Machester City and Manchester United boosted their line-up with Jack Grealish and Cristiano Ronaldo.

And, in the biggest move of all, Lionel Messi joined the Parisian giants – PSG.

How do FIFA 22 OTW upgrades work?

Ones to Watch upgrades are special dynamic FUT items.

The premise behind the FIFA 22 cards is simple. Unlike standard gold, silver, and bronze cards, these OTW upgrades will see their stats increase throughout the season depending on how the players perform in the real world at their new clubs.

OTWs are always rated the same as a player’s highest In-Form card.

Think of them as stock. As their stats rise, their price will too. They’re “live” cards that create a game-long attachment as you watch your favorite card level up.

Ones to Watch cards could feasibly hit "99" ratings if their players shine in 2020/21.

Can I get OTW cards for free?

For the most part, no, Ones to Watch aren’t free.

That being said, the start of every FUT game cycle gives you a chance get one without spending a single in-game dime ⁠— though it will set you back a little extra in real life. If you pre-order the FIFA 22 Ultimate Edition bundle, you will receive a free OTW card when the team is eventually released in-game.

The only downside to this is the OTW card will be untradeable, meaning you can’t make a profit. If you pack a good one though, you may want to keep it anyway!
