But I discovered that wins would arrive in classes: I'd get three or four on the bounce, go up into Division 8, then lose a few and fall down. My one aim, really, wasn't to embarrass myselfI didn't mind losing, I just didn't want to get battered 8-0. And to my charge, that never happened: there was one game where I went 3-0 down within about 30 minutes, but ended up fighting my way back to 3-3; a massive achievement against a participant who was definitely a shade better .

I now find myself Division 7, and while I understand there will be people reading this chuckling to themselves in such a lowly achievement, the difference in my general play is night and day. If I could play myself from a couple of months ago, I'd probably win 15-0; the advancement was dramatic. I am still making silly mistakes and panicking defensively when I shouldn't, and I am not scoring as many goals as I believe I should be, but there is no question I've improved a great deal.

The next steps for me are to focus on improving what I have. There are better versions of Pogba and Kante, for instance, which would boost my searching to get a fee; I would really like to find someone like Eric Cantona upfront, but I know that it's going to set me back millions of Coins. I'm at a point now, along with my squad, where I'm essentially trading any cards I earn and saving my Coins so I can make minor improvements to the players I've already got.

I've actually mostly enjoyed playing online; no one uses a microphone so I have not encountered anywhere near the amount of abuse I confronted in Madden NFL 21. I did get some very salty messages, but generally I think FIFA 21's matchmaking works nicely; I feel as though I am playing against players at a roughly similar ability level, which is contributing to a competitive matches with entertaining ebbs-and-flows; sometimes I catch roundly beaten by a better player, other times I win professionally too. Fair.
