Matchmaking broken?

How is it possible that almost every opponent i play against in fut champions qualifiers and finals, my opponent has different form than me? For example, my record was 4-4 and my opponent was 7-3, I lost that game. Then I was 4-5, and my next opponent was 9-2. These are just few examples, but a lot of times my opponents have had different form/record than me. It's just so frustating playing champs when your current record  doesn't seem to have no meaning at all.

This is how EA tells you how the matchmaking should work but it does not:

  Main Factors

  • Your location – Based on your IP address and your account region.
  • Your Current Form – Your match or competition stage (e.g. Play-Offs or Finals) – This implies you’ll be matched with other players who have the same Form as you. Form does not transfer between competitions. When you first begin a Play-Offs or Finals, your Form is zero.

    It says similar form but doesn’t say how wide. This means you won’t get someone on your form every time.  Matchmaking is too fast for that and people like it being more of a relaxed mode unlike rivals that is the competitive mode.

    If you quit the match you dont get negative form. Like if you have lost 5 matches but have quitted everyone your form will still be 0 instead of -5.

    A dev has confirmed that isn’t true. If you quit you get the same form as if you stayed and lost. That’s how we found out it’s normal you don’t get the same matchups. 

  • @MakeUskola There might not be someone queuing up at the same time you queue up so it'll widen up a bit.

    Time of playing, who's queuing up at that moment, etc. are some factors that will come into play when you queue up. It's very possible you're just missing those players with a similar record. You can't match up with players of a similar record if they aren't queuing up at the same time you are or if they're not playing at all.
  •  Matchmaking is also broken in friendlies for cup matches.  I just played several people two divisions higher than me.  Lost 4 cup matches in a row.  This also explains why when I get to higher divisions that friendlies get easier because I am then playing people in lower divisions.  EA needs to add extra games to cup friendlies or fix matchmaking.

    @RRRovers I honestly don't even play friendlies because of capped games and such. I'm sure other users don't play it due to how competitive the mode is. With this being said. the pool of users who are playing must be so small that the matchmaking is what you call, "broken." I think they need to remove capped games and perhaps offer better rewards for playing those modes. There's not much incentive to play those modes.
