The winter transfer window is done and dusted and it is now time for the winter edition of Ones to Watch. While there is no exact date on when EA will be releasing these cards, they should be out just before the FIFA 19 Winter Upgrades aka, the rating refresh.
In case you didn't know, Ones to Watch (OTW) cards are given to a select few players who have just moved in the transfer window. They are dynamic cards and will have their ratings upgraded if the player gets an in-form card.
There have been a few big names who have moved in January and here's a look at 5 players who might get the OTW card:
#5 – Shinji Kagawa
From being the heart of Borussia Dortmund's attack to being surplus to requirements. Shinji Kagawa has now switched clubs and moved to Besiktas on-loan for the rest of the season.
The Japanese star had a dream debut – scoring twice – and that has earned him an in-form card too. It is rated at 85 – a boost of +2 over his base card. The IF card is currently going for around 33k on all consoles and if he gets an OTW card, it will start at 85 and cost around 50k easily despite being a difficult one to link with.
#4 – Kevin-Prince Boateng
Kevin-Prince Boateng moving to Barcelona on-loan in January is easily the strangest move of the window. He was doing fairly decently at Sassuolo but never really made a big impact that could have attracted a club like Barcelona.
However, he is there at Camp Nou now and might just get an OTW card too, just because he's at such a big club!
#3 – Alvaro Morata
The Spaniard has finally ended his nightmare at Chelsea. Alvaro Morata has moved to Atletico Madrid on an 18-month loan deal to regain his lost confidence and should he impress, the Spanish side get to keep him for around €50M.
The striker is rated at 83 in the game and might get an OTW card at the same rating. He isn't expected to 'steal the show' at the Spanish side so, if he does get an OTW card and it is going for less than 20k, grab it.
#2 – Michy Batshuayi
Forever a-loan? Michy Batshuayi is now at Crystal Palace – his 3rd loan move in a year! He managed to impress at BVB but flopped big time at Valencia. Looking at his performance cycle, he might just be a big shot at Palace.
Should EA give him an OTW card, it will be at 84 – a boost of +3 over his base card – as he already has an IF card which is going for around 40k on all consoles.
#1 – Cesc Fabregas
Back in Red & White but not the Arsenal one. Cesc Fabregas is now at AS Monaco and he has hit the ground running. The Spaniard has impressed and scored for them as well.
He even helped them pick up their first home win of the season. And that has earned him an in-form card in FIFA 19 at a rating of 86! This IF card is going for around 45k on all consoles right now and should he get an OTW card, it will easily be around 80k for sure.
He is in a big league and a Spaniard – very easy to link with other players and for a player who has a passing of 89 and dribbling of 82, he will be in high demand. Should he put in a few more impressive performances, the rating might just hit 90!
