FC26 Clubs Matchmaking Broken/Unfair

Matchmaking in clubs always seems to just be based on skill rating which makes no sense. Should just be based on your current division, else what is the point in having seasons?

My current club is screwed because we have a high skill rating ~2000 from the first season so despite us being in division 3, we constantly match division 1 teams. After skipping season 2 our club is behind the div 1 teams by miles on reputation.
In 20 games played this season most teams we faced have 86 rated AI from reputation, we only have 82s so are at a massive dissadvantage. (86 also get gold playstyles)

In the three division 3 promotion games we just played, where you need to win all three, the opponents were:
1) 86 rated AI - Division 2 Won
2) 86 rated AI - Division 1 Won
3) 86 rated AI - Division 1 Lost

So we can't get out of division 3 to get more fans to get us to a point where we have the same AI rating as our opponents, so pretty much every game is played at a big disadvantage.|

With the current system, we may as well just disband and remake constantly playing in division 5 as at least then we'd get a fair match.

    Final comment having now gone through play offs.
    Seems like Matchmaking in playoffs works correctly and you do only match teams in your division.
    Unsurprisingly after playing most league games against Div 1 teams, despite being in Div 3, we went 10 Wins - 0 Loss. Bad experience for all those teams we beat easily.
    Unfortunately the fan rewards for Div 3 playoffs are terrible.

    Summary:
    Team has a high skill rating from previous season.
    Consistently match Div 1 teams based on skill rating who have 86 rated AI.
    Cant progress beyond Div 3 due to playing at Div 1 level with a AI handicap of 82.
    Go unbeaten in play offs against Div 3 teams.

    The way the match making should work is either
    1) You simply match teams in your division
    2) Skill rating gets reset every season

    Another issue with the current system is, when we returned and started division 5, our first game was against a div 1-2 team who had already played over 50 games in the season. So we were 0-0-1 against a team like 40-10-15

    And we play the same exact team 5 games in a row every single time we get on. Needs to be fixed

  • My club is having the same issues. Cant get out of D3. Skill rating ~2250
