Ones to watch cards FIFA 23 - what do you need to know about them?

We've already given a brief overview of what ones to watch cards looked like in previous years, but the most important thing is who we'll see on them in FIFA 23 and what will change about them. The ones to watch card system is expected to change slightly in FIFA 23, but first let's discuss what ones to watch stars get increased ratings for. The ones to watch system is based on player performance. A player's OWR increases if:

• The player gets the Inform card
• The player gets a Man of the Match card
• The team gets Wins to Watch

It is the latter of the aforementioned systems that is set to change in FIFA 23. Wins to Watch first appeared in FIFA 22. In the previous installment, a team had to win a minimum of 5 out of 10 league matches played after the game's October 1 release. In FIFA 23, this system is expected to be more favorable to players. Admittedly, this is not officially confirmed, the information was reported by a well-known FIFA Donk leaker. According to the well-known leaker, from now on, teams will only have to win 3 of their first 8 league games. Another change is the addition of an upgrade for players whose national teams will be playing at the Winter World Cup in Qatar. According to a leaker, for winning matches at the World Cup, the stars of the openings are to get additional points. This is not confirmed information, but one must admit that it is an interesting addition.
