What are the Ones to Watch in FUT 19?
The Ones to Watch in FUT 19: The OTW cards or also the “Stars in Focus” are special cards in FUT 19 that are only available for a limited time. You can draw them at the start of the FUT 19 season, from the 28th of September, in packs that may contain rare gold players. After the release phase, probably after the 8th of October, they will only be available on the transfer market – and quite expensive.
These players will receive OTW cards: Only players who changed clubs in the summer can receive OTW cards. They are essentially the “best summer transfers”.
The special thing about the OTW cards: These are dynamic cards. Every time an OTW player receives a TOTW card or another special card during FUT 19, their OTW card is automatically adjusted to that card and remains at the higher rating.
This means: The better the player performs in real football (and thus receives a special card from EA Sports), the better your OTW card will be throughout the season. It will then receive a form boost that corresponds to the latest ratings.
The risk with OTW cards: OTW cards are often very expensive on the transfer market, as many players hope that the card will be upgraded in the coming months. If the player does not perform well in real football, gets injured, or is not considered for TOTW by EA, you have invested a lot of money but gained no advantage from it. Because the standard OTW card is as strong as a regular standard card.
