I think it's unfortunately time to just accept that this game is an absolute dumpster fire and won't get any better. The gameplay this weekend has been the worst i've experienced on any fifa game. it's just AI auto defend, switch, switch, switch, switch, hold sprint, get 7 million bouncebacks, get a scruffy goal.
If you want to try and get some fun out of the game then just focus on evos, build past & present teams, test out new players etc... Because there's no point trying to play competitively or seriously, there's no skill involved in winning in this game, everything is determined by whatever random nonsense the AI throws at you
