And, even better, Nations to Watch players don't even need to be chosen for their national team in order to get the boost FIFA 23 coins, so if Gabriel Jesus somehow doesn't make the Brazilian squad and his countrymen pick up victory in Qatar it's possible that the Arsenal hitman still gets an additional +1.
In the end, it's important to note that Ones to Watch players do not receive upgrades based on other promotional cards. In other words, if Tyler Adams gets some sort of wild 90+ card in April for a new promotion dubbed Factsmashers or something else you're looking at, your OTW is not changed accordingly. (Sorry Tyler. If this makes you feel any better, then you're almost everyone's preorder OTW bundle.)
This year's unique transfer market behaviors meant that it was usually practical and economical to bring in good promo players to one's team buy FUT 23 coins, even within a couple of days of their debut. This may prove to be true in FIFA 23, but for this moment, the most popular Ones to Watch players are going cost you a significant premium. Given that they have currently received no upgrades at all It is difficult to justify spending any money on them.
