Does Lionel Messi have a ‘Ones to Watch’ FUT card?

Lionel Messi is one of eight FIFA 22 players to be awarded a FUT ‘Ones To Watch’ (OTW) card.

These players are footballers who changed clubs in the recent transfer window and they will receive a special dynamic OTW FUT ​​card with a different colored background.

This card will originally be the same as the player’s base card, but if the player receives a FUT “Team of the Week” (TOTW) card, the OTW card will change to the ranking on the TOTW card.

For example, if Messi were to be named to FIFA’s Team of the Week, he would receive a TOTW FUT ​​card with a 94 point rating – one point higher than his base rating of 93.

This means that his OTW FUT ​​card will dynamically change to a 94 rated card and then change if he receives any other TOTW FUT ​​cards during the lifetime of FIFA 22.

Other players to have OTW FUT ​​cards are Cristiano Ronaldo, Romelu Lukaku, Achraf Hakimi, Jack Grealish, David Alaba, Georginio Wijnaldum and Ibrahima Konate.

How do Lionel Messi’s FUT cards improve in scoring?

There are several ways for Lionel Messi to get a higher FUT card than his base 93 card.

If named to the FIFA Team of the Week, he will receive a FUT TOTW card that is one point higher than his current best FUT card, whether it is his base card or a previous one. TOTW card.

Messi could also be named Team of the Year in December or Team of the Season in May and receive a special card that would be ranked roughly in the 90s.

EA Sports also adds various other special cards at certain points during the game, but the likelihood of Messi being involved is low for his cards to remain rare and desirable.
