Summary
EA FC 27 is shaping up to have an exciting start in Ultimate Team, with Ones to Watch (OTW) reportedly playing a major role in Season 1. Recent leaks have revealed several potential OTW players, alongside SBCs, Objectives, and free rewards. Players can also buy EA FC 27 Coins to boost their early squad. While EA has not officially confirmed the leaked content, here is everything currently known.
EA FC 27 Ones to Watch Players Leaked
According to recent leaks, several OTW cards could be available through the Season 1 Pass. The reported lineup includes Youri Tielemans (85 CM), Ferran Torres (84 ST), Elliot Anderson (84 CDM), Lee Kang-In (83 RW), and Mika Mármol (83 CB).
These cards are particularly interesting because OTW items are expected to be Live Player Items. Players can potentially improve their ratings during the season depending on real-world performances.
The leaked upgrade system reportedly includes four possible +1 upgrades: winning Player of the Month, earning a Team of the Week selection, becoming a Star Performer, and helping the club win three of six domestic league matches.
OTW SBCs and Objectives
The leaks also point toward additional OTW players being released through SBCs and Objectives. Three names currently reported are Pedro Gonçalves (83 LM), Ayyoub Bouaddi (83 CDM), and Rodrigo Mora (83 CAM).
This could give players multiple ways to build an OTW squad without relying entirely on packs or the Transfer Market.
Free Rewards and Season 1 Pass
Ones to Watch is reportedly connected to the Season 1 Pass, meaning players can earn XP and unlock OTW-related rewards through normal Ultimate Team progression. Some leaked cards may also be placed behind the Premium Pass. Players who want to make the most of these rewards can also buy cheap EA FC 27 Coins to strengthen their squad.
Meanwhile, EA has confirmed that FC 27 will introduce more immediate rewards, including Match Coins and Season Points, while expanding direct FUT 27 Coins and tradeable pack rewards.
What to Expect
If these leaks prove accurate, OTW could be one of the most important early-game promos in FC 27. The combination of live upgrades, Season Pass cards, SBCs, Objectives, and free rewards could make these players valuable for both competitive squads and long-term investments.
For now, remember that the leaked players and specific reward structure remain unofficial. EA FC 27 launches worldwide on September 25, 2026, with early access beginning September 18.
