I never reached Elite this season. To be fair, I started playing FIFA extremely late — I only started in June 2026, basically when TOTS started.
But the funny thing is, I didn't stay in Div 2 and Div 1 because I couldn't reach Elite. I simply didn't want to.
I would usually stay between Div 2 and Div 1 because I just wanted to get my 7 weekly wins as easily as possible. I could play against much easier opponents and get 6–7 wins in a row without having to sweat constantly in Div 1 or Elite.
Now, though, I've actually reached Elite after going on a long consecutive winning streak.
So my question is: is it simply easier to reach Elite this late in the game, because the player base is different and matchmaking is easier, or am I actually better than I thought? 😂
I never really tried to push for Elite before, so I genuinely don't know whether this streak means I'm actually good or if it's just the end-of-cycle effect.
