OTW Boosts
Unfortunately, no Ones to Watch cards were included in the latest FIFA 23 MOTM items in Ultimate Team.
With Team of the Week 26 bringing the last TOTW squad of the season, MOTM cards will now be the only way OTW items can be upgraded, so it is worth keeping an eye out for future releases.

Best Players
Obviously, there are a couple of players to look out for in the new FIFA 23 MOTM items if you want to make some coin.
Karim Benzema is selling for around 75,000 on the Transfer Market thanks to his 93 OVR, with Rafael Leao is worth about 45,000 coins.
Dani Olmo has the base stats of a 92-rated CAM and could do a very decent job between the lines for your side.
Victor Lindelof could also play a part in your team, with a Shadow chemistry style giving him the attributes of a 93-rated CB with 88 PAC, 95 DEF and 88 PHY!
If you don't have the budget to bring in Riyad Mahrez's FUT Centurions version, then his MOTM item would be a good alternative, with very similar stats but 330,000 coins less.
Hidden Gems
Some of the Man of the Match items may have overall ratings that don't catch the eye, but that doesn't mean they won't be very effective players in FIFA 23 Ultimate Team.
Adam Hlozek could be the best card of the whole batch, with his 87 OVR and 16,000 coins cost hiding the fact that he is a top striker!
Add a Hunter to him and you have a 6'2" beast of a forward, with the stats of a 93-rated ST including 97 PAC, 93 SHO, 88 DRI and 90 PHY.
Similarly, Vincent Janssen can be massively improved with a Hunter, giving the 85-rated card the attributes of a 92-rated ST!
There have been plenty of top Eredivisie strikers on offer this season, but if you've missed out on them then 10,000 coins for this guy could be money well spent.
Finally, there is Juventus' Federico Gatti who could pass under the radar with an 83 OVR.
Stick a Shadow on him and he possesses the stats of a 90-rated CB, which could be used to help you complete upcoming Serie A objectives if you don't have much squad depth for that league.
