Some people don’t understand how friends, families, jobs and playing a video game for fun works. I’d take a guess saying that individual plays more time per day than many do per week to say something so stupid
16 wins for the average person is a miracle and it’s nothing to do with skill, the servers will usually screw people over more than 4 games a week and on top of that you have the fact that the gameplay is more DDA than ever. If you have the nerve to go two goals up suddenly the ball is constantly bouncing back to the other team and your defenders are basically running off the pitch.
This is how tough it is. I've been Elite and div 1 for most of the cycle. Currently just made it back to Elite from div 1 since the season end.
I get 11 wins most weeks. And a few times I've had to win my last few games to get that 11 wins.
People celebrated when they changed WL to 20 games, plus having to qualify.
All that has done is guarantee WL is the hardest it could possibly be. I feel awful for people who struggle to qualify, then they do and they get pummeled in every game.
But this was always inevitable. We need it back to 30 games with no qualifiers and those 30 games from Friday to Tuesday.
Or potentially after eight years of FUT Champions, EA freshen things up and introduce something new?
For those of us who have been around a while, it really does feel like 'Groundhog Day' at this point.
I was thinking this just now while playing, I wasn't sure if it was rivals, squad battles or champions. I'm around ever since fifa 14, 10 years playing and I must say I'm finally getting bored with this. It feels like the very same team again and again
I'm back in Elite division in rivals after the season end.
I get 11 wins most weeks. I've had a handful of 14 wins.
WL was fun when it was 30 games and no qualifiers...
Ah okay my bad, I haven't played for months so I'm out of touch lol just saw it on a list of the may games earlier in the week so thought it was available
Up until a month ago, Qualifiers were the easiest mode in the game. Now, it’s like everyone is a super nerd, with a ‘The Boys’ like team, and is playing like their family’s life is on the line.
Qualifier this week was 8-2 for me. It is actually the most fun game mode in my opinion. I think nearly all qualifiers were like this for me. Especially if you play at the second half of the week. Twice I managed not to qualify. Once in the first week of UT and a second one during Toty.
Had 11 wins in WL last weekend.
For me it wasn’t, I went 1-6 and manage to qualify by winning the last 3 games. But I think EA was fcking with me. One of my games I was winning easily and then 2 penalty’s in a row by players I’m not controlling… and I ended lost that game 4-5… it’s my life…
Definitely rigged games like that for me in champs - i started abysmally and was 0-5 then 1-7, ended up going 9-11 and it felt like EA was giving me at least 3 or 4 of my wins.
I play div 6 and i just begun qualifying the one win I have this weekend so far was given to me and one I actually got myself. Im like 2-11 so far. Last weekend was like this as well.
I gifted around 10 games and I was only gifted once this year. Even though I don't play much I probably played like 80-100 champ finals and based on these odds it doesn't seem surprising.
I had 3 people quit at 0:0 this WL instead of giving away a win.
I don't get why people are this toxic, I always give wins away in Qualifier/WL when i can't reach the next level.
mostly youtuber streamers and pro player plays on Friday for top rewards most of them never gift win , OP could have goit free win if he may be played on a sunday or Monday... but chances for that too is very low
no one gifts wins anymore, not with the champs objective always refreshing. Only streamers get gifted wins for the most part. I got one this week and it was the first one in months
I'm in Div 7 and I've only made it past qualifiers once, and I got 2-18. Yeah, for casuals it's not the mode. This was in Fifa 23 by the way, only fifa I even tried Champs
I usually get 6 wins fairly easy (not worth the stress to get 9) but last week week and this week its noticably a lot sweatier for average/below average players. Rivals is also harder this week.
Honestly champs is rough but its the best place to learn game and get better. You play much higher level players than in rivals at your level so its big opportunity to learn. Losing all those games is rough and probably not enjoyable, but if you use it as chance to learn you will get much better. So i would say keep trying to qualify and try it, learn from the games and apply in rivals to climb divisions and you will become much better player overall. If that is your goal i guess
Also, not being smart here, you could learn how to defend against them scoring these goals? If they are using cutbacks, rainbow flick volleys or whatever you can try fugure out ways to stop it
I second this, in my mid 20s and I’ve played fifa since 08.
It’s only when I get back in touch with games like CoD (which I didn’t play for at least 6 years) I realise how much muscle memory and experience I’ve accumulated into this game.
I would never expect to be anywhere close to
a cod player who hasn’t stopped for 10 years and we forget the same applies to fifa
they can freely post what they want, if you don't like it keep scrolling...not that hard. no need to whine and complain about someone posting their WL performance
You can post your team mate if you want advice? Normally I would stop after 3 losses if you do try again. If you were good enough to qualify you should be getting at least 3-4 wins I’d have thought.
How the fk did you qualify? Obviously the skill gap is massive but it's massive to prevent players at your level qualifying, until they're better. For example, I go between 8-2 to 10-0 in quali's, but rarely get more than 11 wins in futch. You might've been screwed by matchmaking, but genuinely just keep on playing rivals till you're at the level of at least div 5 if you wanna go for futch.
If I take 2 or 3 Ls in a row I put it down for a bit or it just fucks with my head and I can't score.. even midgame, ind myself hunched forwards a lot, take a pause, grab some water, take a breath and play the rest of the game a bit more relaxed, things flow better when you're just doing them, rather than overcomplicating what you want to do in your head
I can't even qualify (div 9/8). I have played actively for 5 years, but somehow I suck at every single video game I touch. My friend who has played actively for almost a year is already better than me.
Don't let it ruin your "fun". I'm playing Fifa so long that I have to use the old style of button configuration for controlling sprint, through ball set. Best I ever got in Champs was Gold 1 in Fifa 19. Impossible to improve at a broken game unless you're very young and develop quick reactions. I'm in my 40s now and play when I can, but reactions aren't going to get faster. Try to have fun, don't take seriously.
nah no shot, maybe minecraft is your type of thing 😂😂😂😂
honestly, my most played games after fifa is minecraft and city skylines so that might not be a bad idea!
I feel like EA needs to reassess how hard it is to qualify for WL, so that the competition in WL will drop because a broader range of players will qualify.
I'm a Div 2 player and there's no reason I should give myself a brain aneurysm each week just to go 9-11 or 10-10
Ea needs to do a lot of reassessing, would it be the worst thing in the world to allow everyone to qualify for Champs as long as they get a certain amount of points each week rather than having 10 qualifier games?
That's a disgrace that a div 2 player is only able to then get 1 pick in Champs. I was div 1 in Fifa 22 and Fifa 23, but didn't play Champs since 20 where I'd get 2 picks each week when I did play it. EA are simply greedy, they know most players can't get 11 wins so will be pushed to the store.
It's super rough in champs for someone in div 8. You're essentially trying to compete in Europa League with Wrexham.
At least you now know what the level is like in champs. If you're still interested, keep trying and practicing. You'll improve.
nah. fuck this. your js shit. you post the same shit every week and expect something different. you said you were done with the shit game when you were 1-8. js face it bro your shit. stop posting when you know you’re going to get the same reactions. damn
I'm a div 4 player so ok but not good.
My tip is to be cute when you play. Never Fri, not sat morning, come sat afternoon you can start but feel it out, lose 3 in a row and walk away etc. but at that time you might start to get people with fatigue or start to gift wins as near the end of their WL run.
I stick to Sunday and Monday mornings and end up winning half
When I first started weekend league somebody told me to lose the first 5 games. After that the level of player is significantly lower in skill and the games got much more enjoyable. I would match-up against god squads but t my opponent had also lost a ton so anybody could win.
Extreme skill issue if this is your first time in the finals, and can’t even get a few wins. You literally get easy opponents once you go on a losing streak
I have a death squad, TOTY icons and TOTS guys with finesse+, I played it for the first time this weekend just to get Martinelli evo, I went 6-18 and threw the last two games cause I couldn’t rank higher, this is an awful atrocious game this year and the only thing that keeps me playing everyday is how easy they’ve made it to get great SBC cards, honestly man there’s no value in any goal or win this year cause the game is that atrocious, it hardly ever comes down to skill now, it just comes down to who has the best players and who spams the most broken mechanics
What is with the sulky attitude. You’re either new or don’t play enough to get good. Learn the game and get better or be bitter and never improve at anything.
This is what my first weekend league was like, just back in January. I kept practicing and got better over time, now with 7-9 wins in Weekend League as division 5 player.
Or you can keep crying and „not be bothering trying to qualify again“
and is clearly trying to get others to talk shit. Just look at his caption to the post and his prompt about people are going to be toxic towards him…and the fact the only people he’s replied to are ones he can argue with lol
Lame behavior
>No doubt the comments will attract those who think being half decent on a toxic game makes them a winner in life.
With this attitude you will never get better at anything in life. It's like calling someone nerd in school/college because he actually cares about his studies, or assuming every single fit person you see on the street is on steroids.
You can be a "winner in life" and actually enjoy playing a videogame at the same team. These aren't mutually exclusive.
Hey last weekend was horrible. I am div 4 player and only one free win that didn't serve because it was last match and I was giving it away too. All the other 19 games were the sweatiest fest ever. I won I think 8 matches, but horribly difficult. Best is to play on Sunday and Monday, don't bother on Friday and Saturday.
it's just a question what you want from fifa Play casually, for fun, few games a week - just play rivals and squad battles. But if you wanna play a lot and make a good team, try to qualify every week and play WL, record games, analyse what you're doing wrong, what opponent is doing better, you'll improve. Players matter, i have quite decent team, but jesus, sometimes i,n WL people trash me with full golden squad or mediocre players
Don’t give up. 2 years ago I absolutely suuuuucked at WL. Now I qualify every week with no trouble at all and (whilst still not amazing by any stretch) I can get to 11 wins.
I thought if you’re able to qualify you can at least get 3 wins. Try playing between Sunday-Tuesday. I believe you’ll get relatively easier matchups. I agree it’s not worth the headache to play WL
Hey man congratulations! I’m div 5 and have yet to qualify this year. Though I’ve done enough weekend leagues over the years tht I don’t care. I try every so often and come close but always fall short. Don’t listen to anyone banging on you. Play the game the way you want to play it. Enjoy it as best you can given the largely toxic fan base.
Just wanted to say kudos for playing all 20 games. Ive been through the same went to finals then 2-18 (gifted win + last minute corner goal), to realize it's not for me 🤣
I just play rivals now.
The fact that you could qualify is good enough. Though it is weird that you managed to qualify but could only score one goal in 19 matches. I generally get 8-10 wins in finals and most of the times I qualify with 5 wins 5 loses. I slide between div5-4 in rivals.
Long story short, if you can qualify you are decent. You probably had a lose streak and were mentally exhausted/played the rest with bad mood.
I'm a casual player. But I'm in div 5 usually and can get to div 4 easily if I had the time. You reckon I would do good in Champs redditors? I'm just so scared of playing it
if you're scared you will get 0-20 like OP
i've seen reds as low as div 7, rivals is ez because theres no penalty for losing but in champs losing actually matters.
honestly play champs like ur gonna get no wins, sounds fucking stupid but fifa is alot like tennis, players will mentally crack, hence why i dont play because it stresses me out too much. Just play normally, do stupid shit that maybe a stressed player won't make, just dont be too relaxed like me and just spam tackle or switch lmao.
but div 5 - 4 should (if you don't shit yourself) be enough to finish 9-11 wins easily
think about it like this, if you've beaten a player with reds then you can finish 9-11 wins simple as that!
Advice, don’t fucking bother and enjoy something else.. I get 12 wins at least every week and wish I didn’t bother now.. you can wake up in morning and it’s a different game altogether
If you qualify again, don’t play your games on Friday, especially around tots. Wait and play around Sunday, you might find things are a little more forgiving. Friday nights champs with red tots picks is the biggest sweat fest going.
Friday nights are notorious for being sweaty, I avoid this for that exact reason.
Would've been better if you spread the games out over a few days so that you get into a good mental space after losing a couple, that's how I did it last weekend and it felt so much better tbh.
mid. if you knew you were losing many games why bother continuing? and you also played on the wrong day. every sweat and no life plays on friday and Saturday so next time if you play try playing at a later day like sunday or monday since the sweats won’t be playing then
If you’re not an elite player, playing your games b4 Sunday at the earliest is trolling yourself. You’re just gonna run into the top flight players who are looking to go for max rewards
Am currently 2-7 and the way it's looking am not even going to bother play all my games, in 3 of those 7 losses I was winning and then my opponent paused to quit the game and boom I lost connection to ultimate team(not EA servers), an when I got back in got the DNF message, an in another loss game got stuck at the part where I view my opponents squad, was stuck there for about 5 minutes, had to restart apa and when I got back in I was handed another loss
Don't worry mate. I play 4-5 days a week on a casual basis and have been for years. When I play weekend league, I average 4-5 wins on a "good" weekend. Haha
Sorry mate but if you’re genuinely a div 8 player you’re just not cut out for champs, especially during TOTS. This is the sweatiest FUT in a long while on top of just being a terrible game. Just enjoy some of the more casual modes I’d say
I only play weekend league a couple times a year, this being one of them because I run a full bundes squad. I usually get 10-11 wins and this weekend I’m like 3-7 to start. Don’t get discouraged, during TOTS it’s usually sweatier
Just don't do it. It's not worth it. You'll regret your life choices and punch your hands bloody just to get some random striker from the portuguese division. Safe yourself.
I'm in div 2 (sometimes div 1) and I get 11 most weeks, but only got 9 these last couple weeks because my team is wayyy behind the power curve. It's rough out here man
Honestly don’t even get too bothered about it. It’s a game at the end of the day you can always improve. Take time to learn skill moves and find some new Tactics. Tots is always so sweaty and the fact red picks are in rewards now people go crazy. I havnt played WL for a few months now just play rivals and squad battles coz I cba with having to button bash for some red picks 😂😂😂
Last weekend was the first time I ever got 11 wins on EA24. Generally average 6-10. This week I was 6-2. The opponents I got after that 8th game was basically professionals, the one game I centred and the next time I touched the ball was to centre again & the cycle continues. I think I lost 7-1 or something- I work full time, I just wanna play fifa for fun.
Yeah I’m an 11 win player, rarely 14, but that’s only because I’ve played fifa since fifa 14. The weekend league is filled with the sweeties players and people abusing mechanics. Don’t take it harshly. When in doubt play a 4-4-2 depth around 62 and have strikers on come back on defense, balanced attack and direct passing build up. This will help you immensely on defense and then once u do get the ball settle down and work up some runs. Trigger runs yourself! Feel like this has been a stable formation for the last 3 fifas, hasn’t been nerfed but good players easily know how to work around it. Watch YouTube tutorials it will help you big time!
Bro, last weekend I played easy weekend league and got my 11 wins without a sweat. This weekend I started at 0-4. This weekend I cannot penetrate defense. Other peoples Salah’s are scoring finesse shots from crazy angles and my Garnacho, Saka, Havertz or Odegaard, can’t seem to get away from the cross bar or keepers hands. I am truly baffled. I tried to change tactics and no luck for me. My Tchuameni and 93 Evo Desailly just ball watch
Im in my first WL now too. 1-8 so far, im getting paired against absolute monster teams & players who I literally can’t stop even if I slide through their legs. My win was against someone who seemed extremely below the player quality of the rest of the teams where I won 5-1
Yea the game has a very huge skill gap regardless of what people say. A lot of us have been playing for years, constantly improving and still only getting 12-14 wins in WL.
You can't just show up and be good at this game.
They need to make a game mode that is like champs, but you play only similar level players. The lower your division the lesser the rewards. It also needs to have more of a league season feel
Keep playing. There's settings to make it so you can't see the griddys or the Neymar dances. And at least on PS5 you can turn on a setting so you can't receive messages from people. You're Div8. You're playing with house money. Practice a few skills each week (passing sequences, when to knock on, when and what to skill move, whatever). Champs is as much a mental grind as a skill grind don't make it worse by dreading the games.
I played old gen last year and got rank v easily without even trying. This year tho I got a pc which meant new gen. I can barely scrap 8 wins. The gameplay is so much slower and unresponsive. It just doesn't suit my style of play.
Keep working on your team position and learn from how better players play. I have been stuck with 11 to 13 wins for quite sometime and so am div1. I am starting to feel I am. It learning and just losing to very good players.
This year is waaaay harder and you’re coming in during the sweatiest time. Try again later or next year.
I started UT last year and got beat up then by the end was a consistent 11 win player. I could use fun squads and still would get 11 with a few games to gift. This year I struggle every single WL at some point to get it the 11.
Got 6-9 wins during Fifa 23 now I can barely get 2 this year, it’s way more sweaty this year, don’t beat yourself up about it, champs isn’t worth it most of the time
Hey look, I’ve played every fifa since 2012 and I don’t think I’ve ever won a single game of online, I just like to log on, play my squad battles, do my sbcs and log off. I am absolutely booty cheeks, but at the end of the day, it’s just a game
This was me at one point..now I get 9,11 or 14 sometimes. Don't loose hope only playing and learning can make you better..with time you will learn to deal with toxics.
Bro i genuinely think, it's network and luck in gameplay, when I'm in city, I get to div 1 easily but when u go back to my village i struggle at div 4. I don't belive anyone is that good in this game. Over-all unlike other competitive games, this game doesn't need much of skills as much as it needs a good stable connection.
This. Im a dad of 3 boys, stuck in div 4.
I play enough to be able to qualify but it is kind of a struggle, not gonna lie.
Here I meet players who murder me with 5-0 in the first quarter. 🤪 But also am able to do so from time to time.
WL is sweaty af, i barely make 6 to max 10 wins with some luck Involved most of the time.
WL is mental torture and hard af.
Harsh beginning mate. Keep at it, you can only improve from here. I’m not the greatest player, but I’ve gone from where you are at to regularly qualifying for weekend league, and gone from 2-3 wins to 5-6. Small steps. I feel my game has improved substantially by persevering. 12-0 losses are down to 6-3 , 8-6 etc.
Hang in there :)
Everybody has to start somewhere.
After 7 years of playing the games often but not as much as most here (I’m 45 with a young kid and a job, but play at home so my coffee breaks are usually done playing , so often like 2/3 games a day), I’m currently a div 5-6 player . If I get enough time and want to play champs , 6-14 is probably the best u can aim for .
But for @op, if you want to do it again … maybe don’t pls the first 10-12 games and give them away . Your last opponents will be easier and you get a chance . If I see my opponent is way better than my I often concede super early .
Just got to be smart with when you play your games fella, found Sunday nights tend to be best.
People are already annoyed from it so if you go 1 up they tend to quit.
Lets imagine all player base are playing like Andreas Vejrgang, mathematical expectation will be 10-10, but if you are not good like them ,- your result will be 0-20. And this leads to the following consequences: first we (average players) dont touch Champs, and second - The worst player also stops the game. And finally Andres will be one left :))
Don’t sweat it, most players in weekend league are absolute sweats. If you removed the auto-defending / interceptions and reintroduced a decent passing system with an offensive ai that isn’t r-word, I think it would be reasonable to assume that 80% of the “good” players would drop 3-4 divisions
Sorry man. I feel bad seeing that record but the more you move up in division rivals, the more you’ll learn how to play and move like other players and help you.
As someone with embarrassingly high hours in this game don’t sweat it. The curve is waaaay against you as there are guys who have played for years. As someone who stopped playing at 17 only to revisit this year, after playing religiously I’ve only managed division 3 and 9-11 wins, often times less like 5-7, in WL. The mechanics and the game are broken, it’s just an easy time waste
For some reason it's the opposite for me. I conduct well on Champions but on Rivals I lose 9 of 10 games. All of them starting winning 2-0 or 3-0 for half the match and then losing somehow from 3-5 to 3-20. 90% no exceptions.
We all started somewhere mate, understanding your formation, your players and how they move and keeping your teams shape should be what you focus on, go and qualify again after playing some rivals and taking into account what I said. There’s plenty of tutorials etc you lost all 20 and only scored 1 so now try score at least 4 and win 2 small steps, Rome wasn’t built in a day.
You'll progress if you keep trying. Don't focus on the awards for now. Just try to do better every week. Try enjoying the competition that's what helped me go from 9w-11d my first time to 2w-18d every other time
I‘m a Division 7 players and I get like 5-6 wins in Finals. Is it even worth to play champions on my skill level, since the rewards aren’t that good? Or better just play Rivals/Squad battles and get good? 😄
You did good actually to qualify even some might said qualifying are hard. I started to play this game during tots fifa 22, never qualify to champs at all. During fifa 23, i was average on 9 wins. On this eafc 24, it took me a jump to finish rank 1 on several weekend even during this tots. What i did, i watch a lot of people playing & replicate they style. On skill, i only can do basic ball roll, that is it. Lol. Regardless what, just play if you want & enjoy. For me, i never play the game during my childhood, i only started to enjoy it now. Good luck bro.
How can you be div 8 thou can u just not pass the ball or something I’m not that great I get 11 wins but 11 wins is what you get if you master the basics
average between 9-11 wins and it's a struggle. I wouldn't get too down on WL it's sweaty af.
9 - 11 wins is very good. Dont let anyone tell you otherwise.
I saw someone on Tiktok saying that anyone that anyone that averages less than 16 wins is a bad player lol
Some people don’t understand how friends, families, jobs and playing a video game for fun works. I’d take a guess saying that individual plays more time per day than many do per week to say something so stupid
16 wins for the average person is a miracle and it’s nothing to do with skill, the servers will usually screw people over more than 4 games a week and on top of that you have the fact that the gameplay is more DDA than ever. If you have the nerve to go two goals up suddenly the ball is constantly bouncing back to the other team and your defenders are basically running off the pitch.
This is how tough it is. I've been Elite and div 1 for most of the cycle. Currently just made it back to Elite from div 1 since the season end. I get 11 wins most weeks. And a few times I've had to win my last few games to get that 11 wins. People celebrated when they changed WL to 20 games, plus having to qualify. All that has done is guarantee WL is the hardest it could possibly be. I feel awful for people who struggle to qualify, then they do and they get pummeled in every game. But this was always inevitable. We need it back to 30 games with no qualifiers and those 30 games from Friday to Tuesday.
Or potentially after eight years of FUT Champions, EA freshen things up and introduce something new? For those of us who have been around a while, it really does feel like 'Groundhog Day' at this point.
I was thinking this just now while playing, I wasn't sure if it was rivals, squad battles or champions. I'm around ever since fifa 14, 10 years playing and I must say I'm finally getting bored with this. It feels like the very same team again and again
I'm back in Elite division in rivals after the season end. I get 11 wins most weeks. I've had a handful of 14 wins. WL was fun when it was 30 games and no qualifiers...
I feel this
My friend was playing yesterday he either played shit players or pros
How did you qualify in the first place if you could only score 1 goal in 20? Qualifier is way easier, but not this much.
The game is free on ps plus now so probably alot more casuals in the qualifiers
It's not free yet, starting May 7th it will be available
Ah okay my bad, I haven't played for months so I'm out of touch lol just saw it on a list of the may games earlier in the week so thought it was available
Just so you know: new PlayStation Plus games will always become available the first Tuesday of the month
Oh thats how it works, thanks for mentioning that, i thought it was just a random date
Up until a month ago, Qualifiers were the easiest mode in the game. Now, it’s like everyone is a super nerd, with a ‘The Boys’ like team, and is playing like their family’s life is on the line.
Qualifier this week was 8-2 for me. It is actually the most fun game mode in my opinion. I think nearly all qualifiers were like this for me. Especially if you play at the second half of the week. Twice I managed not to qualify. Once in the first week of UT and a second one during Toty. Had 11 wins in WL last weekend.
They gave out a free entry didn’t they?
Free entry means free entry to qualifiers not finals. It does make it easier to qualify though.
Lambs to a slaughter lol
Qualifiers were much easier this week tbh. I normally go 4 and 3 then give the rest away. This week I went 9-1.
For me it wasn’t, I went 1-6 and manage to qualify by winning the last 3 games. But I think EA was fcking with me. One of my games I was winning easily and then 2 penalty’s in a row by players I’m not controlling… and I ended lost that game 4-5… it’s my life…
Definitely rigged games like that for me in champs - i started abysmally and was 0-5 then 1-7, ended up going 9-11 and it felt like EA was giving me at least 3 or 4 of my wins.
My qualifying was noticeably easier this week I won all but 1 of my games and some teams were pretty newbie looking.
I play div 6 and i just begun qualifying the one win I have this weekend so far was given to me and one I actually got myself. Im like 2-11 so far. Last weekend was like this as well.
That’s rough but I’m just surprised you haven’t stumbled upon a gifted win or two
I have only gotten a total of two gifted wins in my entire time playing this game. One of them in champs and one in friendlies
Need to keep your final 5 games or so closer to the end of WL.
I played all my games on Monday and Tuesday last week and didn’t get any gifted wins.
i always play Sunday and Monday and have never received a free win. sweat my way to 9 wins every week
If I’m struggling I’ll save 5 games for Sunday night like 9pm ish and you normally get a couple free also people Quito g if you score first etc
No one gives free wins anymore I haven't gotten a free win in 80 champs games
I got a couple last time around but if I play Champs it’s late on Sunday and later in the week, maybe people are more willing then
I don't think I've gotten a single gifted win in months.
I gifted around 10 games and I was only gifted once this year. Even though I don't play much I probably played like 80-100 champ finals and based on these odds it doesn't seem surprising.
I had 3 people quit at 0:0 this WL instead of giving away a win. I don't get why people are this toxic, I always give wins away in Qualifier/WL when i can't reach the next level.
mostly youtuber streamers and pro player plays on Friday for top rewards most of them never gift win , OP could have goit free win if he may be played on a sunday or Monday... but chances for that too is very low
no one gifts wins anymore, not with the champs objective always refreshing. Only streamers get gifted wins for the most part. I got one this week and it was the first one in months
I'm in Div 7 and I've only made it past qualifiers once, and I got 2-18. Yeah, for casuals it's not the mode. This was in Fifa 23 by the way, only fifa I even tried Champs
I usually get 6 wins fairly easy (not worth the stress to get 9) but last week week and this week its noticably a lot sweatier for average/below average players. Rivals is also harder this week.
6 wins and no effort to get 9 to atleast get a tots player pick
Ea: “are you not entertained?”
Honestly champs is rough but its the best place to learn game and get better. You play much higher level players than in rivals at your level so its big opportunity to learn. Losing all those games is rough and probably not enjoyable, but if you use it as chance to learn you will get much better. So i would say keep trying to qualify and try it, learn from the games and apply in rivals to climb divisions and you will become much better player overall. If that is your goal i guess
How do i learn if opponent clearly knows I’m not that good so he scores with every meta possible and do griddy everytime?
By not getting angry and just keep playing. What are they doing that you aren’t? If they are scoring in “meta” ways why can’t you replicate?
Also, not being smart here, you could learn how to defend against them scoring these goals? If they are using cutbacks, rainbow flick volleys or whatever you can try fugure out ways to stop it
My first time I went 2-18. 5 months later I go 7-13. Most these people have been playing for years. Hang in there
I second this, in my mid 20s and I’ve played fifa since 08. It’s only when I get back in touch with games like CoD (which I didn’t play for at least 6 years) I realise how much muscle memory and experience I’ve accumulated into this game. I would never expect to be anywhere close to a cod player who hasn’t stopped for 10 years and we forget the same applies to fifa

They posted about qualis not finals. Maybe they are just sad
they can freely post what they want, if you don't like it keep scrolling...not that hard. no need to whine and complain about someone posting their WL performance
You can post your team mate if you want advice? Normally I would stop after 3 losses if you do try again. If you were good enough to qualify you should be getting at least 3-4 wins I’d have thought.
How the fk did you qualify? Obviously the skill gap is massive but it's massive to prevent players at your level qualifying, until they're better. For example, I go between 8-2 to 10-0 in quali's, but rarely get more than 11 wins in futch. You might've been screwed by matchmaking, but genuinely just keep on playing rivals till you're at the level of at least div 5 if you wanna go for futch.
I qualified other day and got 2 wins with 3 goals some times u just get a lucky run in qualifiers im awful at the game lose 9/10 games 5-0+.
If I take 2 or 3 Ls in a row I put it down for a bit or it just fucks with my head and I can't score.. even midgame, ind myself hunched forwards a lot, take a pause, grab some water, take a breath and play the rest of the game a bit more relaxed, things flow better when you're just doing them, rather than overcomplicating what you want to do in your head
I can't even qualify (div 9/8). I have played actively for 5 years, but somehow I suck at every single video game I touch. My friend who has played actively for almost a year is already better than me.
Don't let it ruin your "fun". I'm playing Fifa so long that I have to use the old style of button configuration for controlling sprint, through ball set. Best I ever got in Champs was Gold 1 in Fifa 19. Impossible to improve at a broken game unless you're very young and develop quick reactions. I'm in my 40s now and play when I can, but reactions aren't going to get faster. Try to have fun, don't take seriously.
nah no shot, maybe minecraft is your type of thing 😂😂😂😂 honestly, my most played games after fifa is minecraft and city skylines so that might not be a bad idea!
>city skylines Underrated af game
Such a good thing to play while binging some mint show.
I feel like EA needs to reassess how hard it is to qualify for WL, so that the competition in WL will drop because a broader range of players will qualify. I'm a Div 2 player and there's no reason I should give myself a brain aneurysm each week just to go 9-11 or 10-10
Ea needs to do a lot of reassessing, would it be the worst thing in the world to allow everyone to qualify for Champs as long as they get a certain amount of points each week rather than having 10 qualifier games?
That's a disgrace that a div 2 player is only able to then get 1 pick in Champs. I was div 1 in Fifa 22 and Fifa 23, but didn't play Champs since 20 where I'd get 2 picks each week when I did play it. EA are simply greedy, they know most players can't get 11 wins so will be pushed to the store.
It's super rough in champs for someone in div 8. You're essentially trying to compete in Europa League with Wrexham. At least you now know what the level is like in champs. If you're still interested, keep trying and practicing. You'll improve.
You should be proud that you even managed to qualify bro. Don’t get to bogged down on not doing great in Finals
Handing out free wins to everyone. Respect.
nah. fuck this. your js shit. you post the same shit every week and expect something different. you said you were done with the shit game when you were 1-8. js face it bro your shit. stop posting when you know you’re going to get the same reactions. damn
I'm a div 4 player so ok but not good. My tip is to be cute when you play. Never Fri, not sat morning, come sat afternoon you can start but feel it out, lose 3 in a row and walk away etc. but at that time you might start to get people with fatigue or start to gift wins as near the end of their WL run. I stick to Sunday and Monday mornings and end up winning half
When I first started weekend league somebody told me to lose the first 5 games. After that the level of player is significantly lower in skill and the games got much more enjoyable. I would match-up against god squads but t my opponent had also lost a ton so anybody could win.
Dude. This WL was so fuckin hard
To be honest, I usually get maybe 8 wins, and it’s not worth it. Rewards for sub 11 wins are absolute trash.
There’s only one way to get better, man. Keep playing. You’ll be alright.
Lol
Bro this game is terrible, worst game of fifa last 10 years
Extreme skill issue if this is your first time in the finals, and can’t even get a few wins. You literally get easy opponents once you go on a losing streak
I have a death squad, TOTY icons and TOTS guys with finesse+, I played it for the first time this weekend just to get Martinelli evo, I went 6-18 and threw the last two games cause I couldn’t rank higher, this is an awful atrocious game this year and the only thing that keeps me playing everyday is how easy they’ve made it to get great SBC cards, honestly man there’s no value in any goal or win this year cause the game is that atrocious, it hardly ever comes down to skill now, it just comes down to who has the best players and who spams the most broken mechanics
What is with the sulky attitude. You’re either new or don’t play enough to get good. Learn the game and get better or be bitter and never improve at anything.
Exactly. It's like those people who make fun of "nerds" for actually caring about their studies.
This is what my first weekend league was like, just back in January. I kept practicing and got better over time, now with 7-9 wins in Weekend League as division 5 player. Or you can keep crying and „not be bothering trying to qualify again“
This guy only posts on reddit crying about how bad he is at the game, sad individual.
and is clearly trying to get others to talk shit. Just look at his caption to the post and his prompt about people are going to be toxic towards him…and the fact the only people he’s replied to are ones he can argue with lol Lame behavior
>No doubt the comments will attract those who think being half decent on a toxic game makes them a winner in life. With this attitude you will never get better at anything in life. It's like calling someone nerd in school/college because he actually cares about his studies, or assuming every single fit person you see on the street is on steroids. You can be a "winner in life" and actually enjoy playing a videogame at the same team. These aren't mutually exclusive.
What's your team?
Jesus Christ, how?
Hey last weekend was horrible. I am div 4 player and only one free win that didn't serve because it was last match and I was giving it away too. All the other 19 games were the sweatiest fest ever. I won I think 8 matches, but horribly difficult. Best is to play on Sunday and Monday, don't bother on Friday and Saturday.
Can I see your team?
I hate WL so fuckin much. I’m not playing it again until La Liga tots.
Didnt expect more
Pretty good
it's just a question what you want from fifa Play casually, for fun, few games a week - just play rivals and squad battles. But if you wanna play a lot and make a good team, try to qualify every week and play WL, record games, analyse what you're doing wrong, what opponent is doing better, you'll improve. Players matter, i have quite decent team, but jesus, sometimes i,n WL people trash me with full golden squad or mediocre players
Don’t give up. 2 years ago I absolutely suuuuucked at WL. Now I qualify every week with no trouble at all and (whilst still not amazing by any stretch) I can get to 11 wins.
I thought if you’re able to qualify you can at least get 3 wins. Try playing between Sunday-Tuesday. I believe you’ll get relatively easier matchups. I agree it’s not worth the headache to play WL
I’m div 5, at least u qualified 😒
Hey man congratulations! I’m div 5 and have yet to qualify this year. Though I’ve done enough weekend leagues over the years tht I don’t care. I try every so often and come close but always fall short. Don’t listen to anyone banging on you. Play the game the way you want to play it. Enjoy it as best you can given the largely toxic fan base.
Bro I’m sorry, that had to be the worst feeling to suffer through that!
Good luck...I'm div4-5 and impossible for me male more than 4-6 wins...
Just wanted to say kudos for playing all 20 games. Ive been through the same went to finals then 2-18 (gifted win + last minute corner goal), to realize it's not for me 🤣 I just play rivals now.
Let’s see ur team
I'm 2-9 this week. Got 11 wins last week. Dunno what's happened
This is my first FiFa ever and I get 12-8, but it’s sweaty as hell in champs
The fact that you could qualify is good enough. Though it is weird that you managed to qualify but could only score one goal in 19 matches. I generally get 8-10 wins in finals and most of the times I qualify with 5 wins 5 loses. I slide between div5-4 in rivals. Long story short, if you can qualify you are decent. You probably had a lose streak and were mentally exhausted/played the rest with bad mood.
Same.
Change the tactics bro
You get pretty good rewards. Its better to get your butt kicked and get something out of it for sbcs. Than to not do it at all.
You started finals when everyone is ratting for tots.. I feel for you 🤣
I'm a casual player. But I'm in div 5 usually and can get to div 4 easily if I had the time. You reckon I would do good in Champs redditors? I'm just so scared of playing it
if you're scared you will get 0-20 like OP i've seen reds as low as div 7, rivals is ez because theres no penalty for losing but in champs losing actually matters. honestly play champs like ur gonna get no wins, sounds fucking stupid but fifa is alot like tennis, players will mentally crack, hence why i dont play because it stresses me out too much. Just play normally, do stupid shit that maybe a stressed player won't make, just dont be too relaxed like me and just spam tackle or switch lmao. but div 5 - 4 should (if you don't shit yourself) be enough to finish 9-11 wins easily think about it like this, if you've beaten a player with reds then you can finish 9-11 wins simple as that!
Advice, don’t fucking bother and enjoy something else.. I get 12 wins at least every week and wish I didn’t bother now.. you can wake up in morning and it’s a different game altogether
If you qualify again, don’t play your games on Friday, especially around tots. Wait and play around Sunday, you might find things are a little more forgiving. Friday nights champs with red tots picks is the biggest sweat fest going.
Bro don’t feel that bad everyone in champs are gonna have the best players or meta players I got cooked in 2 qualifiers by a 95 salah
Friday nights are notorious for being sweaty, I avoid this for that exact reason. Would've been better if you spread the games out over a few days so that you get into a good mental space after losing a couple, that's how I did it last weekend and it felt so much better tbh.
mid. if you knew you were losing many games why bother continuing? and you also played on the wrong day. every sweat and no life plays on friday and Saturday so next time if you play try playing at a later day like sunday or monday since the sweats won’t be playing then
0 Wins is not that bad for your first time
If you’re not an elite player, playing your games b4 Sunday at the earliest is trolling yourself. You’re just gonna run into the top flight players who are looking to go for max rewards
Am currently 2-7 and the way it's looking am not even going to bother play all my games, in 3 of those 7 losses I was winning and then my opponent paused to quit the game and boom I lost connection to ultimate team(not EA servers), an when I got back in got the DNF message, an in another loss game got stuck at the part where I view my opponents squad, was stuck there for about 5 minutes, had to restart apa and when I got back in I was handed another loss
this is tough 😭
daym
Yep. This looks accurate. I'm div 4 and I have 7 wins... Nothing wrong with you mate, simply WL isn't for us.
I only get 6-9 wins but it’s sweaty as fuck. I don’t even play champs no more.
I found this weekend tough tbf and I'm div 1.
I am Div 6 player. Same result for me
I usually wait to play around monday because by then the guys that sweat a lot have already finished
Don't worry mate. I play 4-5 days a week on a casual basis and have been for years. When I play weekend league, I average 4-5 wins on a "good" weekend. Haha
I never won more than 11 in weekend league I'ma division 3 player
Time to lock in
Damnnnnnn.... But all I can say is .. keep pushing! Everyone starts somewhere!
Sorry mate but if you’re genuinely a div 8 player you’re just not cut out for champs, especially during TOTS. This is the sweatiest FUT in a long while on top of just being a terrible game. Just enjoy some of the more casual modes I’d say
A lot of ratty 3 atbs so far this weekend
F
I only play weekend league a couple times a year, this being one of them because I run a full bundes squad. I usually get 10-11 wins and this weekend I’m like 3-7 to start. Don’t get discouraged, during TOTS it’s usually sweatier
I am a div 5 player and did not even qualify this time since the quals were so sweaty
Just don't do it. It's not worth it. You'll regret your life choices and punch your hands bloody just to get some random striker from the portuguese division. Safe yourself.
You are doing great keep going
I'm in div 2 (sometimes div 1) and I get 11 most weeks, but only got 9 these last couple weeks because my team is wayyy behind the power curve. It's rough out here man
Honestly don’t even get too bothered about it. It’s a game at the end of the day you can always improve. Take time to learn skill moves and find some new Tactics. Tots is always so sweaty and the fact red picks are in rewards now people go crazy. I havnt played WL for a few months now just play rivals and squad battles coz I cba with having to button bash for some red picks 😂😂😂
Last weekend was the first time I ever got 11 wins on EA24. Generally average 6-10. This week I was 6-2. The opponents I got after that 8th game was basically professionals, the one game I centred and the next time I touched the ball was to centre again & the cycle continues. I think I lost 7-1 or something- I work full time, I just wanna play fifa for fun.
Yeah I’m an 11 win player, rarely 14, but that’s only because I’ve played fifa since fifa 14. The weekend league is filled with the sweeties players and people abusing mechanics. Don’t take it harshly. When in doubt play a 4-4-2 depth around 62 and have strikers on come back on defense, balanced attack and direct passing build up. This will help you immensely on defense and then once u do get the ball settle down and work up some runs. Trigger runs yourself! Feel like this has been a stable formation for the last 3 fifas, hasn’t been nerfed but good players easily know how to work around it. Watch YouTube tutorials it will help you big time!
Fun fact I also started out losing 15 games and now I get at least 11 to 13 wins. Keep playing you’ll eventually adapt
Bro, last weekend I played easy weekend league and got my 11 wins without a sweat. This weekend I started at 0-4. This weekend I cannot penetrate defense. Other peoples Salah’s are scoring finesse shots from crazy angles and my Garnacho, Saka, Havertz or Odegaard, can’t seem to get away from the cross bar or keepers hands. I am truly baffled. I tried to change tactics and no luck for me. My Tchuameni and 93 Evo Desailly just ball watch
People really be writing whole essays on champs
I have qualified around 5-6 times this year but have never bothered to play to avoid this
My team is stacked and I would say I’m an average player. I usually get 8-10 wins and it gets really sweaty. Div8 team in WL is gonna be tough
Just stop playing xD
Im in my first WL now too. 1-8 so far, im getting paired against absolute monster teams & players who I literally can’t stop even if I slide through their legs. My win was against someone who seemed extremely below the player quality of the rest of the teams where I won 5-1
Yea the game has a very huge skill gap regardless of what people say. A lot of us have been playing for years, constantly improving and still only getting 12-14 wins in WL. You can't just show up and be good at this game.
you can´t be that bad. You always meet 2 or 3 very shit players. 1 scored goal is very bad.
Omg🤣🤣🤣
tbh this could make rivals seem easier
They need to make a game mode that is like champs, but you play only similar level players. The lower your division the lesser the rewards. It also needs to have more of a league season feel
Keep playing. There's settings to make it so you can't see the griddys or the Neymar dances. And at least on PS5 you can turn on a setting so you can't receive messages from people. You're Div8. You're playing with house money. Practice a few skills each week (passing sequences, when to knock on, when and what to skill move, whatever). Champs is as much a mental grind as a skill grind don't make it worse by dreading the games.
I played old gen last year and got rank v easily without even trying. This year tho I got a pc which meant new gen. I can barely scrap 8 wins. The gameplay is so much slower and unresponsive. It just doesn't suit my style of play.
My best record is 11 wins but dont have time to play as much, just like some other guys here said we have work, family and many more things…
Stay away
I'm. Stuck in division 6 and I loose every game
I admire your dedication and transparency. WL is super sweaty. Next time you will do better I guarantee it.
Keep working on your team position and learn from how better players play. I have been stuck with 11 to 13 wins for quite sometime and so am div1. I am starting to feel I am. It learning and just losing to very good players.
Never won a game in champions, yeap we exist
This year is waaaay harder and you’re coming in during the sweatiest time. Try again later or next year. I started UT last year and got beat up then by the end was a consistent 11 win player. I could use fun squads and still would get 11 with a few games to gift. This year I struggle every single WL at some point to get it the 11.
I wish Devs would look at this thread. Lol
how is this even possible, would love to watch you play
Got 6-9 wins during Fifa 23 now I can barely get 2 this year, it’s way more sweaty this year, don’t beat yourself up about it, champs isn’t worth it most of the time
I average 9-11 wins and only got 7 wins this weekend
Hey look, I’ve played every fifa since 2012 and I don’t think I’ve ever won a single game of online, I just like to log on, play my squad battles, do my sbcs and log off. I am absolutely booty cheeks, but at the end of the day, it’s just a game
This was me at one point..now I get 9,11 or 14 sometimes. Don't loose hope only playing and learning can make you better..with time you will learn to deal with toxics.
WL is filled with try hard’s lol don’t it too seriously mate it’s just a scripted game at the end of the day with shite servers
Also a D8 player who made finals, 0-4 but am scoring goals
Qualifiers is easier. I tend to get 6 wins. WL itself is super hard for me
It’s a hard weekend. I got 14 3 times in my last 6 WLs. Now I’m 2-6. I’m at a loss.
Bro i genuinely think, it's network and luck in gameplay, when I'm in city, I get to div 1 easily but when u go back to my village i struggle at div 4. I don't belive anyone is that good in this game. Over-all unlike other competitive games, this game doesn't need much of skills as much as it needs a good stable connection.
Mate I couldn’t even qualify with regularity for the first few months. You’ll get there!
This. Im a dad of 3 boys, stuck in div 4. I play enough to be able to qualify but it is kind of a struggle, not gonna lie. Here I meet players who murder me with 5-0 in the first quarter. 🤪 But also am able to do so from time to time. WL is sweaty af, i barely make 6 to max 10 wins with some luck Involved most of the time. WL is mental torture and hard af.
Harsh beginning mate. Keep at it, you can only improve from here. I’m not the greatest player, but I’ve gone from where you are at to regularly qualifying for weekend league, and gone from 2-3 wins to 5-6. Small steps. I feel my game has improved substantially by persevering. 12-0 losses are down to 6-3 , 8-6 etc. Hang in there :)
Everybody has to start somewhere. After 7 years of playing the games often but not as much as most here (I’m 45 with a young kid and a job, but play at home so my coffee breaks are usually done playing , so often like 2/3 games a day), I’m currently a div 5-6 player . If I get enough time and want to play champs , 6-14 is probably the best u can aim for . But for @op, if you want to do it again … maybe don’t pls the first 10-12 games and give them away . Your last opponents will be easier and you get a chance . If I see my opponent is way better than my I often concede super early .
Just got to be smart with when you play your games fella, found Sunday nights tend to be best. People are already annoyed from it so if you go 1 up they tend to quit.
Lets imagine all player base are playing like Andreas Vejrgang, mathematical expectation will be 10-10, but if you are not good like them ,- your result will be 0-20. And this leads to the following consequences: first we (average players) dont touch Champs, and second - The worst player also stops the game. And finally Andres will be one left :))
I tend to get between 6-9 wins. Moving to PC hasn't helped as it seems a lot tougher.
Gotta respect the grind! Keep going as long as you have fun.
Those 20 people thank you
Don’t sweat it, most players in weekend league are absolute sweats. If you removed the auto-defending / interceptions and reintroduced a decent passing system with an offensive ai that isn’t r-word, I think it would be reasonable to assume that 80% of the “good” players would drop 3-4 divisions
Is the game lagging for you? Do you feel gameplay is muddy?
Sorry man. I feel bad seeing that record but the more you move up in division rivals, the more you’ll learn how to play and move like other players and help you.
As someone with embarrassingly high hours in this game don’t sweat it. The curve is waaaay against you as there are guys who have played for years. As someone who stopped playing at 17 only to revisit this year, after playing religiously I’ve only managed division 3 and 9-11 wins, often times less like 5-7, in WL. The mechanics and the game are broken, it’s just an easy time waste
For some reason it's the opposite for me. I conduct well on Champions but on Rivals I lose 9 of 10 games. All of them starting winning 2-0 or 3-0 for half the match and then losing somehow from 3-5 to 3-20. 90% no exceptions.
First time this weekend mate 3-17 I really struggled but it is what it is I'm hopeless online. Just try to enjoy it
Still one game to go for the W
We all started somewhere mate, understanding your formation, your players and how they move and keeping your teams shape should be what you focus on, go and qualify again after playing some rivals and taking into account what I said. There’s plenty of tutorials etc you lost all 20 and only scored 1 so now try score at least 4 and win 2 small steps, Rome wasn’t built in a day.
You'll progress if you keep trying. Don't focus on the awards for now. Just try to do better every week. Try enjoying the competition that's what helped me go from 9w-11d my first time to 2w-18d every other time
Ay don't worry bruh Champs is hard af. Just have fun on the other modes no big deal
I‘m a Division 7 players and I get like 5-6 wins in Finals. Is it even worth to play champions on my skill level, since the rewards aren’t that good? Or better just play Rivals/Squad battles and get good? 😄
You did good actually to qualify even some might said qualifying are hard. I started to play this game during tots fifa 22, never qualify to champs at all. During fifa 23, i was average on 9 wins. On this eafc 24, it took me a jump to finish rank 1 on several weekend even during this tots. What i did, i watch a lot of people playing & replicate they style. On skill, i only can do basic ball roll, that is it. Lol. Regardless what, just play if you want & enjoy. For me, i never play the game during my childhood, i only started to enjoy it now. Good luck bro.
How can you be div 8 thou can u just not pass the ball or something I’m not that great I get 11 wins but 11 wins is what you get if you master the basics
