What is FIFA 17 Ones to Watch Card - FUT 17 Hybrid Cards?

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, replacing their regular cards in the first week.

There will be 23 OTW cards featuring top-players from the summer transfer window. Opposite to all other FUT cards, the OTW ratings and stats are not fixed. 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.

The FIFA 17 Ones to Watch cards boost in rating and stats every time a player gets a new TOTW card. Their ratings just can go up. They can’t go down. In other words, they are in form cards that have the stats of that players highest rated TOTW cards. The ratings of OTW cards should be automatically updated as soon as a new TOTW card gets released.

You can see an example of this above with Ibrahimovic, a player that is likely to get one of these cards during the season. You can see that with each new in-form card that he gets, his ‘One to Watch’ card increases automatically too with stats which match those of the in-form card.

Many of them will put for sale these cards based in its ratings, not knowing that the ratings can growth during the season. That’s the window opportunity you should take.
