Anyone on a bad run now?

I’m actually trying to do the Fati objective on rivals because I can’t stand playing SB. I’ve played from Sat till now for around 15 games using this team. Only won 3, a few draws and I got smashed for the rest of the games.
Of course this team 41212(2) in game is not the most balanced as I just meshed it together from my main teams. But I’ve gone from near 1700 skill points to just under 1100 right now. Normally I’ll just drop to 1400 on bad runs and climb my way up. Suddenly my team just doesn’t function either way.
In attack, my shots are always blocked and my final pass is always terrible and leads to a counter attack.
In defence, it’s worse. My AI just doesn’t do anything and my GK can’t even catch Covid if he wanted to. 🤦🏻♂️
Last game was the worse as I was playing against an opponent with NIF players in defence and midfield. And my opponent was 1000 sp and I drew 2-2. He had scored with his pink Adama and Freeze St Max with his only 2 attacks 🤦🏻♂️
My confidence now is at an all time low and I think I’m not playing at my usual level now as I’m worried to make a mistake and get punished for it.
Any advice? I’ve tried to stop and played over a few days. What do you guys do when you hit a bad run?

Frankly I’ve never played draft before. How’s the match making like? Totally random?
Combine fati,silver beasts n silver send off on squad battles
11 matches for all those rewards
Random yes but it’s not cost effective to play draft if you’re below average. The draft competition right now is as tough as it’s ever been. Been div1 all year and only won about 10 drafts from over 100 entries
Sad that G2 div 3 player is below average 😢
Well. I mean I don’t really wanna play SB right now. I figured I do not need to rush Fati so just playing DR.
It’s carbon copy players every game too. Skill cancel, ball roll scoop, realise that doesn’t work so just spam through balls as soon as they get the ball.
Got the best team I’ve ever had and the game isn’t enjoyable.
It’s purely random I think, I have never thought about it, but does it matter?
I always get matched up against very easy opponents up in the first two games, now I’m getting stuck in the first round.
ps. Matchmaking in FIFA is bad if I play against opponents who have a skill rating 400-300 points higher or lower than me.\
I stopped trusting this company's wording completely after ea creators sold icons on the black market.
They may say that there is a skill-based but it has nothing to do with reality.
It isn’t below average mate. It’s above average. Div 5/15 wins is average. Unfortunately, “elite” players heads are that far up their behinds that they think low end of Div 1 is below average.
Draft has also become an elite game mode. I’m lower end of Div 1 and I don’t touch it. It’s a waste of 15k as you’ll usually meet an elite player in the first few rounds.
Ive dropped from sort ot 1370 skill rating to 980… all because i added 99/98 rated players to my squad…
Remove them and carry on with my 88 rated team and im on my way up to 1300….
99 kante falling over and 96 peredes standing still …
My latency is always 18ms ….
It’s just went to pot. Yes gameplay changed a bit but also I noticed I’m being wiped out in games. Everything is going against me. I was so close to D1 😭
Usually I’ll take it with a pinch of salt but it’s embarrassing how bad I look atm. It’s not anything like before.
Yeah this. There’s only so much room at the top. The majority of people play lower.
I always think it’s funny how people talk about winning there first 10-15 games at WL like it’s normal. It’s not normal for 90% of the community. The elite players have to beat someone... oh it’s us 😂 never feel like you have to compare. There’s D10-D1 for a reason and we all have to find a level. It’s just a shame a lot of the middle division matches are determined by a run of good or bad games. It’s pot luck
Never won a draft final and I’ve been in D3-D2 last few months
Bro. Trust me. I’m worse than you at the moment. I feel like I’m playing like a bronze 1 player
What changed? (Not in order of importance
1 - my tv now has a great game mode
2- have a team i absolutely love
3 - the tutorials of Aussie Fifa HD (Outstanding)
Hope it keeps going, i understand how frustrated you feel i was there for the past 8 months
If so put them back to basic for a few games and then alter them again.
Every once in a while the tactics (also instructions) just don't perform how they have been in the past (call it a combination of things) with no runs being made and having to force things on the pitch.
Wouldnt surpise if EA make slight changes behind the scenes week by week basis.
I want to enjoy my new 97/8/9 players but getting completely overwhelmed by pretty standard teams and not self relegators taking the P either...I'd give a kidney for the a few games being decided be me and my opponent...sorry for the ramble...
@Batman442 its ok. SB is a snooze fest. Maybe till the last day, I won’t do SB for Fati 😅
The AI is all over the place and the bounces are another level mad. It’s like a different game half the time. Still fun at times but you never know what’s going to happen. It’s so random! I’m hitting the post and cross bar more than ever from straight i front the the goal too
I’m having the same issue trying to get the 36 wins for Rooney.
Started off easy enough but it’s absolutely brutal now.
I seem to have terrible luck with the draft to begin with so end up stuck with an average team then I’m lucky to win 2 games.
I’m burning through my stash of draft tokens now and in the last 3 I got absolutely slaughtered in the first round.
Someone’s winning though, so it can’t be everyone’s gameplay.
I finally won another game. Came a few games away from getting relegated though. Took two Renato headers.
