The Ones to Watch (OTW) promo is a yearly event that is released by EA in correlation with the FIFA release date, and the promo consists of giving a special dynamic item to all the high-profile and attention-drawing players who have transferred clubs during the summer transfer window.

Each special OTW dynamic item has the potential to upgrade based on how players perform for their new clubs. As players earn Team of the Week and Man of the Match Items throughout the season, their OTW Items will upgrade, too.

And brand-new for FIFA 22, OTW Items will be eligible for a ‘Wins to Watch’ upgrade, a one-time, +1 In-Form boost given to an OTW Item if their new club wins five out of their next ten domestic league games starting from October 1, 2021.

Here’s everything you need to know about the OTW promo’s release dates, confirmed players so far, and more information on the free OTW player item available to players who pre-ordered FIFA 22 Ultimate Edition.
