Did you just assume it ' s gender <| sep |> This is data from about 10 different rematches in FUT Div 13 opponents . The word data called , it doesn ' t want you to use it in this context . Data from Star Trek called too . He finds flaws in your reasoning . I started FUT only earlier this year in Fifa 16 and I met a stuffed inform squad which my average team was able to beat . A few matches later I met the same person about 30 mins later this time he was using a full silver team and I couldn ' t even score 1 goal . Division 1 btw . The match ended a draw , I created some intense chances that his Silver keeper saved easily . Who was his silver keeper ? Was he tall ? What were his reflexes ? The fact that he ' s a silver doesn ' t preclude him from being good at the game with the right stats . Fast forward to Fifa 17 i noticed the same issue . Players I beat Div 1 again are much harder during the rematch . Their shots on target are almost always a goal and mine are mostly saved . Also my defense opens up easier and I need to constantly manually adjust players while the opposition ' s defense feels very organized . Also after I lost to some other players during the rematch I felt my team played much better and the other person was strugglingThis is all wild speculation over how you felt at some point confirmation bias starts setting in as well .
