After easily qualifying last week, this week I have failed qualifications twice now. Is anybody else struggling like this?
@Seeleyjs17 it's exactly the same as 22 at the start you have to really slow down your football brain knock a couple of simple and pointless passes and space opens for you no slick one two's just real basic stuff and your golden.

What formations work best for creating decent passing lanes etc?

442 with 2 cdms or 41212 are great start points change depth and pressure slowly and find your own sweet spot
I failed once, first time it ever happened to me. The hardest games were my final few, it did not feel ELO is working for me. Qualified second time but only managed 5 wins, used to get 6 with ease

This game has bugged matchmaking. We're either matched constantly with weaker players or constantly with very good players. Both in FUT Champs and Rivals.
E.g. I qualified 7:3 easily. I could be 10:0 really, I just was not focused.
Yesterday I also played Rivals 9:1 in matches.
Today I played Fifa again.... I lost 1:11 in matches in Rivals, couldn't barely score any goal.
One time I win every match, another I lose every match. EA did something weird in matchmaking.
This is how Fifa is. Matchmaking is all that decides, not your gameplay. My advise 1) uninstall this game, it's toxic or 2) when you lose 2-3 matches in a row, stop playing. It means your account is "marked" to be constantly matched against way better players then you.

EXACTLY! ELO is not implemented in Fifa this year. Fifa has it's own way of matching people. In my opinion they try to max out people's high positive and high negative emotions by matching us to constantly win or lose. My guess is that they figured that people buy packs when they're feeling either really good about the game or tilted.

Anyway I recommend 1) that I did.
Thought I was just the only one experiencing this if we all see these were one day we win all matches and next day u go on a 6 plus loosing streak something is not right

Qualified easily but lost 12 in a row in div 5. This year is another level.
I just can't get to grips with it. 1 thing I have learnt is every player basically feels the same
As a person working in gamedev for some time I can't even explain enough how bad design of a game is that allows people to lose 12 matches in a row.
And to anyone thinking "JustGitGut" do the Math please: assuming matchmaking is fair, chances for someone to lose 12 in a row are 2^12 are: 1 : 4095 !!!!!!!!
Matchmaking is bugged.
I uninstalled game because what's the point ? EA decides if I win or lose.
I was on win streak 22:6 last 3 days, qualified 7:3. And 5 days ago I was on losing streak 0:18 in matches. After realising how it works, I understood that my gameplay is not important. Matchmaking decides. If it decides I am going to win, it gives me noobs that I swallow 22:6. If it decides I am losing, I can't even score any single goal.
This is shame, as I like gameplay very much this year. But matchmaking is killing this game for me.
And don't get me wrong: I have no problem losing I am happy to lose all 20 matches in WL as long as I play with people I have chances with. I do not wish to play with pros, because I don't have time to become pro.
Fifa should have classic ELO simply. It works. It's good. It's battle tested. Instead of some weird algorithm they implemented.
Struggling very much this week especially after the patch. Won 11 games very easy last week in WL, this week I have been struggling very much. Feels like they upped the defence a lot with the secondary help stuff. I don't use it, but seems like my opponent really need it to defend, and it is really hard getting the space I used to get before the patch. The small movements are just tracked by the AI. Really horrible that everytime there is a patch, the game becomes something entirely else. So whenever you get adjustet to something they nerf if, buff it or change it completely.
The biggest problem for me right now is creating chances, and I was creating them for fun last week. Seems like they ruined a bit of the flow and creativity, feels like it is heavely relied on specific movements and decisions to get your chance to score the goal. And when I have come through or made some space now, the GK act like superheroes and saving everything. Just played a WL game now where I had 5.0 xG, and just scored 1 which was a deflection of a shot I took.
Had a lot of fun last week, but now the fun is gone for me. I'm to old and don't have the time to care for it tbh. Might try a few more games this weekend, but the patch ruined it for me.
Losing streaks are weird at best. The craziest rebounds gift inferior opponents gols ex nihilo, opponents goal keepers save anything and everything while mine let in the easiest saves — its like in a losing streak all
Of the worst parts of this game are accentuated…. I am perfectly willing to accept mistakes I make or when opponents do things in game that make them better than I, but there’s more to losing streak than my poor performance…
It's the high pressure and A.I defence that is just absolute broken. Varane to Sterling can all take the ball off you like they are prime Maldini. All they have to be is 5 yards next to you. There's no room for dribbling or creative passing. Literally long balls and hope you get a cheeky opening in defence

"there’s more to losing streak than my poor performance"
Yeah, that hurts the most. Btw. it was different in Fifa 21. (Fifa 22 matchmaking is the same as in Fifa 23).
In Fifa 21 I could basically go in Champs 7-22/30 wins depending on my form. I felt after each match that I can do better. Matches were close. A lot ended up with penalties and extra time.
In Fifa 22 and Fifa 23 in Champs there are no extra time, no penalties. it's quick 2:0, rage quit -> next. I can play Champs in 2 hours... with 50% WR. I have the same result regardless if I quit 0:1 when I see opp is pro comparing to me or I fight to the end. I will have (50%) 9-11 wins by playing Champs in 2h or 10h. Does not matter how hard I try.

Yes, high pressure and A.I def are strong, but both players have the same A.I. def, both can use pressure. That does not explain winning/losing streaks that many of us constantly have.
Rated E For Everyone.

Exactly the same boat. Failed twice. Literally played no one on my level. Kind of glad it was not just me!
went 6-4 in qualifiers last week, 6-0 yesterday

Every team I play is completely stacked.. every bounce against me. Kick off goals. 45/90 min goals. Constant press.
Can't get a look in...anyone else struggling this bad? Is it only complete degenerates and sweats playing on Friday mornings? I don't get it
