"Wins To Watch" refers to the team of the player wins three matches out of their next eight domestic matches (starting the 30th of September) the player will receive an additional stats upgrade that is equivalent to an additional in-form. In other words, if Man City win 3/8 games, Haaland gets another +1 over and above any in-form updates which he is entitled to FIFA 23 coins. (Lol 'if'.)

Nations to Watch means that every player who holds an Ones to Watch card whose country is participating at the World Cup will receive a one-time in-form upgrade when their team wins a match during the tournament. It's been a tough time for Erling on this front, it appears due to Norway's lack of participation. ('Tough times for Erling' is not something we expect to write on many other occasions this year/decade/millennium.)

Even better, Nations to Watch players don't require selection for their national team to be upgraded, meaning that should Gabriel Jesus somehow doesn't make it into Brazil's squad, and his countrymen pick up the win in Qatar and win, the Arsenal hitman will still get a +1.

Finally, it is worth mentioning that Ones to Watch players do not receive upgrade based on other promotional cards. Therefore, if Tyler Adams gets some sort of wild 90+ card in April in the new promotion called Factsmashers or something else it is, his OTW will not be changed accordingly. (Sorry Tyler. If this makes you feel any better, you're virtually everyone's preorder OTW pack.)

This year's unique transfer market behaviors meant that it was sometimes practical and affordable to add good promo players to one's team even within a few days after they came out. It could still be the case with FIFA 23, but for this moment, the most popular Ones to Watch players are likely to cost you an enormous cost. As they've received no upgrades at all so it's difficult to suggest spending money for them buy FUT 23 coins.
