Two upgrade options for OTWs
In addition to aligning OTWs with Team of the Week and Man of the Match cards, special cards can receive two more unique upgrades:
- Good performance of the club in their own league (Three home wins in the next eight home matches).
- Good performance at the World Cup (At least one win)
Haaland with no chance of double upgrade
While we can be pretty sure that Manchester City will win their next home games together with Haaland, the Norwegian is without a chance at the World Cup upgrade. Norway have missed out on World Cup qualification.
Sterling, Nunez and Richarlison, on the other hand, have the chance to dust off all the upgrades.
