Squad Battles
In Squad Battles, team chemistry is respected. A team with 0 chemistry cannot defend and attack as if they had 30 chemistry.

The ai is not a "good player with a bad team".
FC is a game of learning exploits.
Wouldn't advise watching the pro's, they have little actual football knowledge, they'll just teach you the meta formations, tactics and broken game exploits (such as the now back R1 dribble, into fidget spin, r1 dribble exit).
Also the latest update broke squad battles ai, they now ping pong pass at super human speeds which regular humans can't react quick enough too.
You're not alone mate, game was good after the R1 dribble nerf, "pros" and content creators threw a hissy fit and got pandered too again.
