Every FC 27 Ones to Watch card can keep growing through the whole 2026/27 season. This tracker follows all 21 OTW items: Wins to Watch progress for each club, every Team of the Week, Star Performer and Player of the Month card that has counted, and the rating each card has earned so far, including upgrades EA has not added yet.
League results update on their own when you open the page, so you can check your player’s club right after the final whistle. Tap a player to see the full upgrade path, the six Wins to Watch games and the next fixtures.
How Ones to Watch upgrades work in FC 27
There are two ways for an OTW card to go up, according to EA’s official Season 1 rules:
| Upgrade | What it takes | How often |
|---|---|---|
| +1 OVR Wins to Watch | The club wins 3 of its next 6 domestic league games from 18 September | Once |
| +1 OVR in-form | The player gets a Team of the Week card | Every time |
| +1 OVR in-form | The player gets a Star Performer card | Every time |
| +1 OVR in-form | The player gets a Player of the Month card | Every time |
The player does not need to play in the Wins to Watch games. Only the club’s result counts, and only domestic league games, so cup and European wins do nothing. In-form upgrades have no limit during the 2026/27 domestic season.
One detail many miss: the OTW card does not copy the stats of the in-form. It simply gets +1 OVR each time, so a 90-rated TOTW does not make the OTW card 90.
Why the OTW tracker can show a higher rating than the game
EA adds upgrades some days after they are earned, not the moment the whistle goes. Nicole Anyomi already has her Wins to Watch boost on the card, while clubs that got their third win on the weekend of 17 and 18 October are still waiting. The tracker shows the rating a card has earned in the big number and marks the boosts that are still on the way. That makes it the quickest way to see which cards are about to go up before the market reacts.
Which OTW cards started higher than the player’s gold card
The Ones to Watch items were released at the player’s gold rating, but never below 83. That is why Mika Mármol (75 gold), Rodrigo Mora (77) and Crysencio Summerville (78) all start at 83, while Youri Tielemans starts at 85. The upgrades are counted from that starting rating.
The Season Pass cards are Christos Tzolis and Elisa Senß (level 10), Ferran Torres (level 30), Nicole Anyomi and Maxence Lacroix (Premium level 7), Elliot Anderson (Premium level 3) and Yan Diomandé (Premium level 30). The rest came through objectives and SBCs.
OTW Upgrade Tracker: FAQ
How do Ones to Watch cards upgrade in FC 27?
Each OTW card gets +1 OVR for every Team of the Week, Star Performer or Player of the Month card the player receives. It also gets a one-time +1 OVR if the club wins 3 of its next 6 domestic league games from 18 September.
Does the OTW player have to play for Wins to Watch?
No. EA says the player does not have to feature in the games. Only the club’s domestic league results count, and cup or European wins do not.
When does EA add OTW upgrades to the cards?
EA has not given a fixed time. Upgrades arrive after the result or in-form is processed, so there can be a gap of several days. The tracker shows the earned rating straight away and marks the upgrades that are still on the way.
