FIFA fans fill up their virtual coin account: OTW Team 2 in FIFA 21 Ultimate Team has been revealed and will be available in packs for a week starting October 16. The Ones to Watch are among the most powerful special cards of the FIFA – Season .
OTW cards? What is behind it?
The English abbreviation OTW stands for “Ones to Watch” – the German name is “Stars im Blickpunkt”. OTW cards are the most sought-after special items in the course of a FIFA – Season . Every year EA Sports honors the most important transfers of the – Season with a special card. Only players who have changed clubs in the summer receive such a variant.
The special feature: OTW cards are dynamic items. Every time the corresponding player makes it into the team of the week (or receives another performance-related special card), the OTW card also increases.
Cards that don’t look too strong at first glance can develop a lot in the coming months, while the top cards are worth a lot on the FUT transfer market.

Which OTW cards are particularly exciting?
There are a few. Besides Leroy Sane, who already marks the best left midfielder for Bundesliga teams, right-back Nelson Semedo is worth a look. Semedo was extremely popular in FIFA 20 and marks the best option at his position this year as well. This is despite other cards boasting a higher rating.
Also exciting: Arturo Vidal – Already one of the best central midfielders in FIFA 21, Donny van de Beek and Rodrigo could also be a force to be reckoned with, while both cards should fetch a lot on the transfer market.
FIFA 21 OTW Team 2 can be found in packs for one week starting on October 16th. After that, both OTW teams will be available until October 23. After that they can only be bought on the transfer market.
Via Twitter, EA Sports has announced a new Squad Building Challenge that will be released on October 16 to coincide with OTW Team 2. Ex-Bayern pro James Rodriguez, who has joined Everton FC in the Premier League for the current – Season , will receive an Ones to Watch card. However, the exact details and prices of the SBC are currently unknown.
