Announced earlier in the year during one of EA’s livestreams, ones to watch will be a squad of the best transfers from this summer that will upgrade progressively throughout the year. Ones to Watch cards are a brand new card category in FIFA 17 Ultimate Team and probably the biggest addition to the game this year. These black cards are assigned to a very limited selection of players With TOTW 1 and 2 passing without any mention, we now know, thanks to an interview, that these players will be available in packs from September 30th.
If you manage to pack one of these new additions, you’ll have to take a view on whether you think they’ll feature heavily in Team of the Week throughout the year. If they do, you’ll get to watch your player item’s stats grow each time they feature, but if they don’t then you might have been better off selling.
It’s up to you to decide whether to gamble on them and keep them, hoping they grow, or get shot whilst their value is higher and let someone else worry about their real world performances.
There will be 23 OTW cards featuring top-players from the summer transfer window. Here is our prediction or at least a list of players with high chances to receive a hybrid card when the game comes out:
Goalkeepers
Claudio Bravo
Steve Mandanda
Defenders
John Stones
Mats Hummels
David Luiz
Shkodran Mustafi
Samuel Umtiti
Marcos Alonso

Michy Batshuayi

There is still no word on the full squad but with their availability being only a couple of days away, we’ll no doubt find out who is involved any minute now.
