Deleted my Clubs team with no explanation or warning

My friends and I put hours into a Clubs team and when we logged on again after a break our club was deleted. I created the club myself and spent lots of time changing the appearence/names of our bots and all that is now gone. Not only is that gone but so is the amount of time we all spent playing. We have all been playing proclubs together since FIFA 16. I only buy this game so I can play together with my friends, but it seems like every year EA tries to make this part of the game worse, as if that would convince me to buy FIFA points and play ultimate team instead. EA continues to punish this part of its community and is a huge reason why this game gets less and less popular every year. I see less and less content about this game on social media because this company treats its customers so poorly. Pathetic way to treat a community that has grown up loving this game over so many years.
