Ultimate Team has been the subject of a number of innovations on FIFA 18, from the new Squad Battles mode to EA Sports' expanding e-sports arena.
And another new feature has been the introduction of live, continuously updated FUT items, with players' stats getting updated depending on their performances in real life.
The two categories this applies to are called Path to Glory and Ones to Watch.
Path to Glory is made up of players who are battling for a place in their respective national teams ahead of the World Cup, while Ones to Watch includes stars that were involved in a high-profile transfer in the summer.
But how exactly do they work?

Ones to Watch players will see their stats boosted based on the strength of their real-life performances.
This will be reflected in the game when one of the players is included in a FIFA Team of the Week, Man of the Match, European Team of the Tournament, Hero or Record Breaker in-form release.
When that happens, the ratings on their Ones to Watch card will be automatically updated in line with their latest in-form card.
The only thing that won't change is their position. That will stay the same as it is on the original Ones to Watch card regardless of whether or not it matches the in-form version.
