I know it’s an old topic and probably most answers will be to become a better player and that is all placebo, but for sure there must be other person who notice this:

While playing against a team with 11 gold rare players, yours are more likely to hit the post or make worse movement off the ball or things like that.

It could be connection of course and I’m well aware of being average reaching G2/G1 in WL!
Things like these happens even against team with same ratings and in both ways, sometimes I notice that the poor guy I play against makes 9 wrong passes out of 10 but if their team is average, well.. it could be considered as “normal” in a few scenarios.

But when I face 11 rare gold player, I swear to God, they seems swaps stats with mine lol

    I'm an average player with a decent team but I do seem to do better against teams full of icons than teams full of Rodrigo/Jesus/Moura etc.
  • I’ve been beaten handsomely today by mediocre squads. But I figured they’re just better players. It feels terrible though when your godsquad doesn’t work anymore :D
    Happened since I finally bought CR7.

    In general people using all NIF gold teams are good players that don't have as much time to devote to the game as others but understand that your team doesn't make that much of different as long as you've got some cheap meta ones in there.

    Played a guy the other day in Div 2 rivals - 442 Ligue 1 / Seria. Midifield was Gelson Martins, Sanches, Khedira, Gosens with Balde and Delort up front. All normal gold cards and he ripped me apart - it was actually quite enjoyable to see him play as he was decent. My icons and top players were chasing shadows!!

    My icon and Toty squad runs up against this quite a bit. Overall I think it is just better opponent although the amount of times I hit a post and have my passes go right to the defender is troubling.

    Just played 2 goal teams in DR. Got spanked in 1 and I won 1. But both games the rebounds, lose balls which go back to my opponent is just infuriating... my keeper turns to a bronze and Werner just runs pass all my defenders. My passes are always behind my running players while my opponent has crisps passing and sharp agile turning 😅😅😅

    Yes I forgot to mention. When I got smashed because I can’t get near the ball even if the opponent’s team is ❤️❤️❤️❤️, it doesn’t bother me much.
    I mean, he’s clearly better.. and that happens of course, playing both against a worse team or a team like mine.

    I was talking about those situation when the opponents it’s clearly not better (being objective) that you but everything you do just ends up being wrong.
    Wrong pass. Wrong shot. Wrong player selected.
    Even if the game before and the game right after you do the same things and your player are able again to score a finesse from outside the box or a near post shot from 10 meters while in that game against 11 gold every single shot was intercepted or hit the post. Not matter what you do.

    I tried changing tactics, formation, using different kind of press. Nothings seems to work.


    I’d like to know if any of you found a way to overcome these situation. It could help, especially in WL because I’d like to try to reach E3 (G1 is not that far, I usually don’t push for it because I don’t bother playing 6-8 more games)
  • I think it’s a placebo for sure. If you’re playing someone with poor gold players at this stage, they must be good enough to be playing at your skill level. Obviously a better team helps, but some people are more comfortable playing with players they know and trust

    Yeah. Agree. But how do you explain passes which go behind your players while opponent is all crisps and precise. Delay maybe. But it seems to happen more to gold teams. Their DR skill ratings are normally lower than mine by 70-100

    🤷🏻‍♂️
  • absolute placebo. I rub my hands together in glee when I see an all gold team.

    Lucky you!
    But sometimes happened to me too. Played full rare gold teams where I scored 6+ goals.
    Mostly depends if I score first or not.. when I score it’s easier to win against these squads

  • Define gold teams? Because a lot of gold players are better than special cards.

    The only special cards I have are tavernier, stones, Rooney and wijnaldum

    Not many better special cards than my gold mendy, Varane ,Kante, salah, Neymar and Mbappe.

    I’d expect to beat most people who are the same level a player as me with that side

    Rashica, Goretzka, Sane, Hakanji, Mukiele... not even that much meta. Forgot the others to be honest. Last game that happened was against those

    You probably just play against better players that are not very rich (unlucky with pulls, cba to trade etc).
    Lucas Moura in the right hands will deliver more than prime Best controlled by mediocre player.

    Happened since I finally bought CR7.

    I think its more of people just trying harder when they see toty cr7 icons etc...

    Indeed. That’s why he starts from the bench.

    Seems to be lots of gold teams at the minute, but they are decent players! Getting beat with my 90 rated team, desailly losing headers to Gabriel Jesus

    Probably folks starting other accounts to make up coins spent on TOTY. New teams, new packs, new coins. I've noticed a lot of shady stuff going on in the transfer market...so coin transfers are alive and well...
