If you are getting put on Europe servers it’s likely because of the way your isp routes you. Europe wouldn’t be playing on your server if you are connecting to theirs. Your match history should show the difference between pings on the closest server vs Europe server. Ea has explained that and how to test it here.

Why do some players connect to a distant game data center?
EAS FC will always try to connect you to online matches on your best game data center. Although that’s often the nearest one, this isn’t always the case.
Internet service providers (ISP) generally don’t send data from Point A to Point B directly. They route this data across locations, sometimes across the globe. This can be a physical networking infrastructure limitation of some ISPs or part of their business model. These decisions are ultimately handled by ISPs based on their unique needs and situations.
In some cases, your connection to a game data center is the best connection available at the moment, even if it’s farther away. However, your connection can be routed elsewhere if internet issues impact the route that your network traffic would normally take, or if one of our game data centers is experiencing technical problems.
