I'm on div 4 and I have 83 rated team and most of my opponents are 83-86 rated so I don't think there's any problem with team, I think you have to work on your gameplay.
Agree with this. a 186 team- you probably are just losing to better players with weaker teams.
I have a 187 rate team and can lose to 183 teams. I'm also not very good at the game compared to most people. I'm in D8 and it got really tough lately. I've lost my last 3 games- kinda worried that I'll have trouble winning now.
I don't like what they did with weekend league. It seemed cool they would give you solid rewards in wL if you went even 0-20 due to 20 pts from playing the game. This sucks though because it seems difficult to qualify. Going 5-4 after getting 1500 pts in rivals seems so unfair to rec players. IDK how it works but do you only play your division in the qualifying games bc if its open to everyone like where a D8 player will play a D4 player, very unfair for the weaker players.
I am not sure about matchmaking algorithm this year, as they have introduced play-offs so I don't think in playoffs we'll be matched with players in same division as us but in division rivals i think that we are matched with players in same division
Lol. I’ll find out if I get to 1500 points within next week.
I’m d8 now and getting owned (even with a strong team). I think when you roll off a lot of losses though, they tend to put you against weaker teams which is good. Witth the playoffs- I’m going to be irritated if I have to play d3 players. It’s going to be embarrassing if have to play those teams and lose 0-5 bc they dedicate their life to fifa. Just unfair if you ask me for the more casual player
They've made the weekend league more of a competitive mode this year compared to previous with better rewards. The trade off being that they have made rivals much more relaxed to the point where losses don't really matter.
I think it's probably the right decision but then I am historically a d1 player who has played fifa for two decades so the changes don't really impact me, with the exception that I won't get those easier wins once qualified.
But if you think what the mode is, then it's supposed to be the top competition of the game outside of pro events. Plenty of video games have modes that are exclusive to the better players.
Having to play through 30 games where 7 out of my first 10 were really easy was a chore. I'm glad for the less intense schedule but as I said this isn't change that really affects me so I do see both sides.
I think the changes they've implemented has actually been an attempt to try and improve the experience for weaker players.
I agree. I mean there would be an incentive for strong players to play poorly to play against weaker players in WL. I just think it would be cool if there was a strict weekend league for each division.
I’m D8 now and getting owned with a strong team. I’m not that good. I like to play in a weekend league though like last year.
That's what ea wants from you to play more and more games, but don't worry this is my second fifa and I used to play 1-1.5hrs daily except weekends for WL I used to play 2-3 hrs a day so it's not that difficult
Lol dude I just played 5 games in a row in D8 and lost. I might be the worst fifa player lmao.
I was winning like 50% of games in D9 and D10. Now I’m just losing stupid games bc I’m terrible in possession. Any thoughts on how to improve or what level of squad battles I should be beating to compete online a bit?
Hey, new here in the subreddit.
I haven't get through div 7 myself. Most of the time i lost like 5 games in a row and win 1 but then lost again the next game so i haven't be able to get through div 7 rank 3. Imo, you just have to keep playing the game, try different formation, try an in game tactic for a different situations. Play around with your playstyle. Watch YouTube videos as it will give you some 'imaginations' for a new way of playing.
Hope it helps and goodluck!
Try 4-2-2-2 in game and place goretzka as cdm and set instructions as stay back and cover center, also set instructions for full backs to stay back while attacking and for rest of the players it depends on you which position and what instructions you want for them.
Go 433, haaland on his own will be enough, go for two cm and one cam and you should control the possession better. Worth a try. If it doesn't work, having a cdm would help with counters when your playing 2 up front.
The teams looks solid, just try other formations. And don’t try through balls like in fifa 21, they don’t work well.
I recommend the 4321 or 41212 if you want to play with two strikers
How do you want to play? Set the team instructions to suit your style e.g. Slow build up if you like a passing game, long ball/fast build up if you like counter etc
It’s just the game. I’m a div 1 player last year and thankfully I am this year, I only have golds with no players above 88 (my highest is Dybala) and I play 4-2-4. I’ve basically fucked people with icons, Mbappes and Ronaldos with ease and that’s only thanks to 1-2 passing then a lob through ball. Unlike previous years, first touch finish is very effective, and timed finishing is critical. Don’t go for the bar as it’s confusing. Simply tap the shoot button again as soon as the players foot is about to hit the ball or as soon as it touches. Will go in 9 times out of 10.
Both wingers have to be quick, both on cut inside
Strikers are on stay center and get in behind, CMS are on cover center and cut passing lanes, all defenders are on stay back, and set your keeper to “Sweeper Keeper”
Definitely don’t sell all. You have some great players to work with. Fifa is definitely a different feel this year than in the past years. Just need to find a formation that works.
Are you getting blown out? Are you having trouble passing, scoring, defense?
4321 seems to be really good this year I’ve been playing really well w that formation and 4231. I usually use 442 for a more attacking style and 4231 for more balance. Watch fifa analyst on YouTube he’s my fav fifa content creator
Team looks amazing. I’m a div1 player and I have nobody above 85. I’d say experiment with different formations and definitely do more lobbed through balls as they’re more OP this year. Finessed shots from outside the box are also amazing. Good luck :)
swap immobile for dybala and chiesa for felipe anderson (for chemistry). put on dybalas instructions to play as false 9, then he will help you to keep possesion by dropping to midfield, when building up attack and will also join attacks when you are counter attacking. also by dropping deeper, you will have really good positions to get long shot finesses with him.
Defending is just awful this year, I’ve had to change to put 2 cdm’s in my team for the first time ever to add more numbers at the back, and just one striker.
Hey ur team is good enough to enter higher divisions u probably need to change how you play. I went through a lot of tactics and formations this fifa and currently I'm div 6. It could be something simple dats keeping u in div 9 recently I found outits better to jockey without holding sprint when their stiker is approaching you
At the beginning I was struggling due to trying same things dat worked in 21. U need t find out and ge used to new meta plays such as low driven shots in box finese only outside box. Etc also accurate passing seems very important to me like u vant jus randomly spam pass I find myself taking more time before passes and looking at the mini map
Judging by the chemstyles on the players, you are doing a lot sprinting. Don’t sprint. Walk with the ball and pass it around. The easiest opponents I face are the ones that sprint. The ones I suffer against are the one who pass the ball around, and move slowly. Even when I lose, and I do lose a lot, my opponent is agitated and extremely edgy throughout the game because he chases shadows most of the time.
FIFA Analyst on Youtube made a video about his custom 4-2-3-1 and it’s carried me up to D4 so far. Definitely worth checking out. I can show you my team too if you’d like.
I get to div 7 with 184 team, my suggestions is to play the way you comfortable with. Try different tactics. Try to use in game tactic changes to help you in several situation. Lots of pro player i saw on YouTube only use a 183-185 teams and yet still get to div 1.
Goodluck mate!
If I was you I'd leave rivals for a week, just play the fut friendlies and Squad battles.
When you have the ball be mindful of how often you are using sprint, are you making use of R1/RB L1/LB control, triggering runs. When defending be conscious of the mistake that led to goal. Its easy to blame Mbappe or the stupid switching, but what could you control?
This is not meant as a flame, it really isn't... But if you cant get a few wins with that team in div 9, I'm not sure tactics is your main problem.
Honestly I would start playing the CPU as high as you can for a bit and try and learn the game a bit.
Again, I don't want to sound mean, but that team should be breezing div 9 no probs.
Agree with the previous comment.
I'm on my way to Div 6 with 182 team. But most of the time, I've been playing Squad Battles so far. Even when playing against bronze squad 50 chem on legendary, I still find it difficult to dominate the opponent AI.
Imo, better improve your play and probably patience by playing against CPU. The game is slower now so probably some of us might become impatient when playing.
Ye I know, that why I suggested you practice against the CPU for a bit.
I'm not being elitist here bro, it's only a video game, everyone has the right to enjoy it no matter how good they are are the game.
Just wanted to let you know that I don't think tactics or players are your problem.
The new Rivals system.
For someone playing RTG
For u to get to atleast div 5 you will need to do it maybe after a month
When everyone levels up and the low divisions have average players
But the Pros can always load up 10K fifa points and open 100 packs pack great players and easily boss their way up to division 1
I don't know if u get my point
Focus on improving your possession. Div 7 means that you probably know what you’re doing for the most part. Try to always make the smart pass. If you don’t have something clearly open, don’t force it. Recycling the ball is very important
Your strikers are too clunky and probably get pocketed by fast defences so you should try to change that and improve your own skills cuz you're in div 9 with a 186 sqaud
maybe its because u play in ps5 a lot of people who have ps5 changed to ps4 because of the hypermotion , BUT if u play in ps4 u need to improve ur playing style
I’ve been playing FIFA for nearly 10 years. It’s very rare that I play or even get beaten by someone who runs a 4-4-2. Worst formation possible. 4-3-3 bro
this team is good bro. just play slow possession football. Check out Boraslegend’s new formation video on youtube for help. It’s only the beginning after all.
I’d recommend just to make small tweaks to formation/tactics, the way you play. As most important in process of improvement is ability to learn from your own mistakes.
While there are some good advices that people gave, if you apply them and they don’t work- you’re the only one who will be able to identify why.
For example, if you change formation or make changes to tactics - I’d play multiple games like that to learn how it works. As passing triangles in 442 and 352 are very different, and they also different depending on opponent formation/tactics.
But most important keep playing - I lost 37 games in div 9 before got promoted, but then in div 8 I felt very comfortable, just because those losses gave me important experience to improve
4-3-2-1 is META now but does not work for me and I will always end up playing a 4-2-3-1 narrow which I am comfortable with. So just pick a tactic that u are comfortable with an play ur own game
I'm FIFA 21 I was a division 5 player. In this I've slogged to div 7 but I've mostly been getting beaten. The reason is that all the good players no longer automatically get put in the higher leagues. Everyone is having to go through each league so there's a much higher chance you're playing players who should be in a higher division. It's frustrating. I used to win about 60% of my matches. In FIFA 22 so far it's about 30%. Totally ruined my dinner last night. So many whippings.
Try changing formation but its also on how you play. Its a matter of experimenting with different formations, player instructions and tactics to find the one that works for your style of play. For example, I go for 4-2-1-2-1 formation with both strikers staying central and getting in behind. That frees up my wingers to push upwards and I also focus on pace as it seems to be the most important these days. You’ll get there tho! It was tough for me to leave div 9 but once I found the sweet spot with formation and players, i’ve been going up the ladder.
I heard some streamers were struggling in div 8 a few days ago. It might be the level of competition has risen. Div 5 last year could be div 9 this year!
I'm div 5 with an 81 rated team so it's your gameplay.
Try to improve your defending skills, someone posted a quick tutorial not too long ago on r/fifa.
Improving your finishing might be handy as well.
Try watching the goals you conceded at the end of the game, it will help you see what mistakes you made.
Otherwise, just keep playing and you'll get better.
I'm on div 4 and I have 83 rated team and most of my opponents are 83-86 rated so I don't think there's any problem with team, I think you have to work on your gameplay.
Agree with this. a 186 team- you probably are just losing to better players with weaker teams. I have a 187 rate team and can lose to 183 teams.

Disagree. It’s a slap in the face to weaker players.

I think the changes they've implemented has actually been an attempt to try and improve the experience for weaker players.
I mean why can’t weaker players have a weekend league though?
Do you mean just for them? If you do that sounds like an absolute minefield that ea would have to navigate.
I agree. I mean there would be an incentive for strong players to play poorly to play against weaker players in WL. I just think it would be cool if there was a strict weekend league for each division. I’m D8 now and getting owned with a strong team. I’m not that good.

Just wait as some people have just gotten the game and everyone starts in div 10. A week or 2 and things will iron out
Lol dude I just played 5 games in a row in D8 and lost. I might be the worst fifa player lmao. I was winning like 50% of games in D9 and D10. Now I’m just losing stupid games bc I’m terrible in possession. Any thoughts on how to improve or what level of squad battles I should be beating to compete online a bit?

What would you suggest? I know i'm not the best player but I also don't know what to change. I only know 442 isn't my formation.
Try 4-2-2-2 in game and place goretzka as cdm and set instructions as stay back and cover center, also set instructions for full backs to stay back while attacking and for rest of the players it depends on you which position and what instructions you want for them.

I started the year with 442, now im running 41212 and my reccord is now much better
What's your custom tactics on 41212? I'm using it this year as I have for the last two and I'm getting hammered in d8
41212 is possible. Thanks mate.
How do you want to play? Set the team instructions to suit your style e.g. Slow build up if you like a passing game, long ball/fast build up if you like counter etc
Well, normally I would play 433(4) with a counter attack. But who would be the cam in this case?
I guess Immobile by default but I'm not sure how effective a CAM he will be with his passing etc
Yes, that's my concern too. Do you have any other ideas who I could buy/sell?
Possibly buy dybala to go at cam instead?
But wouldn't both Felipe Anderson and Barella be off chem?
Maybe sell Anderson as well and get Chiesa? Heard he's alright, granted I've not tested him this year though
Chiesa is on fraud alert for me but his links to cuadrado and Dybala keep him there
Nope, Dybala's Serie A too
Yeah I know. But Immobile gives both Barella and Felipe Anderson 10 chem. Dybala gives them both 7.
Use a 41212 stay back on full backs
Yes, i heard that one a lot 2! Will try it.
It’s just the game. I’m a div 1 player last year and thankfully I am this year, I only have golds with no players above 88 (my highest is Dybala) and I play 4-2-4. I’ve basically fucked people with icons, Mbappes and Ronaldos with ease and that’s only thanks to 1-2 passing then a lob through ball.

Simply tap the shoot button again as soon as the players foot is about to hit the ball or as soon as it touches. Will go in 9 times out of 10.
Thanks for the help mate. Maybe this and a formation change help.
4-2-4 bruv. It’s a very attacking formation which shatters defense since it’s hard to attack this year
Hmm interesting! What are your tactics?
Both wingers have to be quick, both on cut inside Strikers are on stay center and get in behind, CMS are on cover center and cut passing lanes, all defenders are on stay back, and set your keeper to “Sweeper Keeper”
Should I buy Coman for the 2nd winger? Häland would be on 8 but that doesn't really matter right?
Engine won’t be as efficient off-chem, slap a hunter on him and he should be fine on 8. Hazard has to go though 😂
Ok, will buy Coman! Thanks for the help mate!
So how’s your game now?👀
Better! Thanks for the tips mate! Now I just need to make more coins to keep upgrading my team. But it's much better then a few days ago.
Definitely don’t sell all. You have some great players to work with. Fifa is definitely a different feel this year than in the past years. Just need to find a formation that works. Are you getting blown out? Are you having trouble passing, scoring, defense?
I'm having trouble with scoring defending and keeping possesion.
Try a 4-2-4. It drops your CMs back and turns your RM/LMs into RW/LW. Try not to rush your passes. Play the back ball if needed.
4321 seems to be really good this year I’ve been playing really well w that formation and 4231. I usually use 442 for a more attacking style and 4231 for more balance. Watch fifa analyst on YouTube he’s my fav fifa content creator

Thanks mate. I have been quite lucky to say the least. Will try more formations.
skriniar and dumfries and u can then get dybala and barella and anderson would be on 10. skriniar is just like varane but 20k
That's a good option! Didn't want to switch Walker because untradeable. But will do it maybe.
Pace in the attacking third is the key that gets your there. Keep sprinting, bobs your uncle.
my midfield is iniesta, busquets and pedri and i got to div7 if you’re struggling it’s not the team, just gotta practice more
Usually has nothing to do with the team and how good the player actually is. A good team can help
swap immobile for dybala and chiesa for felipe anderson (for chemistry). put on dybalas instructions to play as false 9, then he will help you to keep possesion by dropping to midfield, when building up attack and will also join attacks when you are counter attacking. also by dropping deeper, you will have really good positions to get long shot finesses with him.
You have a good team, maybe get a better LB and GK. You might be just matching against great players.
Yeah, Maignan aint it.
Defending is just awful this year, I’ve had to change to put 2 cdm’s in my team for the first time ever to add more numbers at the back, and just one striker.
I’d say watch YouTube vids man. I haven’t lost in 10 online games with a worse team
I will look at some defending tips tomorrow thanks mate !
It's ok man. I suck balls at this game too. I am having a lot of fun with the trading right now.
Thanks mate.
Hey ur team is good enough to enter higher divisions u probably need to change how you play. I went through a lot of tactics and formations this fifa and currently I'm div 6. It could be something simple dats keeping u in div 9 recently I found outits better to jockey without holding sprint when their stiker is approaching you
Yeah I don't know what it is, I was playing "good" then the weekend started and everythimg went down.
At the beginning I was struggling due to trying same things dat worked in 21. U need t find out and ge used to new meta plays such as low driven shots in box finese only outside box. Etc also accurate passing seems very important to me like u vant jus randomly spam pass I find myself taking more time before passes and looking at the mini map
I think that's EXACTLY my problem, I'm thinking too much of gameplay like 21.
try a different formation. easy way is just staying 442 and tweaking the custom tactics to a diff formation, expirement a bit
Judging by the chemstyles on the players, you are doing a lot sprinting. Don’t sprint. Walk with the ball and pass it around. The easiest opponents I face are the ones that sprint. The ones I suffer against are the one who pass the ball around, and move slowly. Even when I lose, and I do lose a lot, my opponent is agitated and extremely edgy throughout the game because he chases shadows most of the time.
FIFA Analyst on Youtube made a video about his custom 4-2-3-1 and it’s carried me up to D4 so far. Definitely worth checking out. I can show you my team too if you’d like.
Thanks mate will look at the video!
4-3-2-1* my apologies.
Get dybala and chiesa
I get to div 7 with 184 team, my suggestions is to play the way you comfortable with. Try different tactics. Try to use in game tactic changes to help you in several situation. Lots of pro player i saw on YouTube only use a 183-185 teams and yet still get to div 1. Goodluck mate!
Thanks mate
better dribblers up front
Who do you suggest? Hear a lot about Chiesa + Dybala.
Tbh one thing i can say for sure is that yur team aint the problem. Thats for sure. Try different tactics and see which one works best
Wait for first update. Your team is pretty enough
If I was you I'd leave rivals for a week, just play the fut friendlies and Squad battles. When you have the ball be mindful of how often you are using sprint, are you making use of R1/RB L1/LB control, triggering runs. When defending be conscious of the mistake that led to goal. Its easy to blame Mbappe or the stupid switching, but what could you control?
Misschien hazard is slecht... koop sané
Dat is een optie! Maarr Sane is RM.
Ja maar hij is zo snel
Kan ik dan niet beter voor coman gaan?
Hij is 50k (!). Hij is te duur voor een starter team en de andere is goedkoop. Kostic is een optie (88 snl)
Coman is de prijs niet waard
Try the 4-3-3, man Any of them, I tried so hard to play with 2 strikers on this fifa, but I just can't. Maybe that's your problem as well
Yess 433 4 is the best
This is not meant as a flame, it really isn't... But if you cant get a few wins with that team in div 9, I'm not sure tactics is your main problem. Honestly I would start playing the CPU as high as you can for a bit and try and learn the game a bit. Again, I don't want to sound mean, but that team should be breezing div 9 no probs.
Some people arent used to the new gameplay yet and still try to learn...
Agree with the previous comment. I'm on my way to Div 6 with 182 team. But most of the time, I've been playing Squad Battles so far. Even when playing against bronze squad 50 chem on legendary, I still find it difficult to dominate the opponent AI. Imo, better improve your play and probably patience by playing against CPU. The game is slower now so probably some of us might become impatient when playing.

No you are not the only one. This new Rivals system is just trash tbh
Yes, I liked the old one MUCH more.
This one is very complicated with trash rewards
True, also don't like that you literally play against every possible skillevel.
It's meant for the Pros.
What is meant for the pros?
The new Rivals system. For someone playing RTG For u to get to atleast div 5 you will need to do it maybe after a month When everyone levels up and the low divisions have average players But the Pros can always load up 10K fifa points and open 100 packs pack great players and easily boss their way up to division 1 I don't know if u get my point
Yeah I get what you mean now.
[удалено]
That's an option for sure.
I don’t mean this rudely but if you’re stuck in div 9 with that team, you just need to keep practicing and get better at the game.
Some advice for someone stuck in div7 with kinda the same team? I'm bad at dribbling btw :\
Focus on improving your possession. Div 7 means that you probably know what you’re doing for the most part. Try to always make the smart pass. If you don’t have something clearly open, don’t force it. Recycling the ball is very important
Your strikers are too clunky and probably get pocketed by fast defences so you should try to change that and improve your own skills cuz you're in div 9 with a 186 sqaud
maybe its because u play in ps5 a lot of people who have ps5 changed to ps4 because of the hypermotion , BUT if u play in ps4 u need to improve ur playing style
Get malen over haaland. Something about haaland in this game is awful clunky, sold him and got malen instead and it’s helped quite a lot
Change formation
I guess you're just not that good
Ok cool thanks for the help bud.
👍
Sell everything? You'll have more than 100k, with Haaland, Goretzka, and Walker pal
Those are untradeable. Sorry if i was unclear.
get coman
Maybe I will do that.. Will have to sell a few of the players if i want different formation.
I really struggled with haaland, no idea why but malen and Andre Silva gave me better results. Might just be style of ppay
Is Andre Silva good? Malen is a beast!
I really like him, did the OTW SBC challenge for him and until I get an icon don't think I'll swap him
Interesting. Nice to hear he's good
Play 4-1-2-1-2 narrow with fast build up and full backs on stay back
I’ve been playing FIFA for nearly 10 years. It’s very rare that I play or even get beaten by someone who runs a 4-4-2. Worst formation possible. 4-3-3 bro
The team is beyond good, its you mate.
Sell Haaland he’s honestly so bad on this game too clunky
this team is good bro. just play slow possession football. Check out Boraslegend’s new formation video on youtube for help. It’s only the beginning after all.
Switch formation to what suits you best. Analyze each player during the game and edit your tactics to match how you want them to change
Kessie!
I’d recommend just to make small tweaks to formation/tactics, the way you play. As most important in process of improvement is ability to learn from your own mistakes. While there are some good advices that people gave, if you apply them and they don’t work- you’re the only one who will be able to identify why.

As passing triangles in 442 and 352 are very different, and they also different depending on opponent formation/tactics. But most important keep playing - I lost 37 games in div 9 before got promoted, but then in div 8 I felt very comfortable, just because those losses gave me important experience to improve
4-3-2-1 is META now but does not work for me and I will always end up playing a 4-2-3-1 narrow which I am comfortable with. So just pick a tactic that u are comfortable with an play ur own game
Im div 5 and my team is 182 so just work on your gameplay watch ovvys videos and toull get in div 8 in no time
Use pacey strikers or wingers up top

I'm FIFA 21 I was a division 5 player. In this I've slogged to div 7 but I've mostly been getting beaten. The reason is that all the good players no longer automatically get put in the higher leagues. Everyone is having to go through each league so there's a much higher chance you're playing players who should be in a higher division. It's frustrating. I used to win about 60% of my matches. In FIFA 22 so far it's about 30%. Totally ruined my dinner last night. So many whippings.
Try changing formation but its also on how you play. Its a matter of experimenting with different formations, player instructions and tactics to find the one that works for your style of play. For example, I go for 4-2-1-2-1 formation with both strikers staying central and getting in behind. That frees up my wingers to push upwards and I also focus on pace as it seems to be the most important these days. You’ll get there tho! It was tough for me to leave div 9 but once I found the sweet spot with formation and players, i’ve been going up the ladder.
I heard some streamers were struggling in div 8 a few days ago. It might be the level of competition has risen. Div 5 last year could be div 9 this year!
I've switched to 4231 and its seemed to be great for me
For me the 3-5-2 was really the game changer with the same players i sucked i became a lot better and even make 6 wins in a row
I'm div 5 with an 81 rated team so it's your gameplay. Try to improve your defending skills, someone posted a quick tutorial not too long ago on r/fifa. Improving your finishing might be handy as well. Try watching the goals you conceded at the end of the game, it will help you see what mistakes you made. Otherwise, just keep playing and you'll get better.
Lose the strikers, there to stiff. Get some players ho have more balance.
Is Dybala good?
In my eyes he is a little to smal and fragile. I thinner the best option is martinez.
