How Does Seasons Mode Work in FIFA 22?

ByJames Dorn Last Update on

As a long-time FIFA player and fan who has competed in multiple division seasons, allow me to comprehensively break down exactly how FIFA 22‘s seasons mode works. Whether you‘re looking to get started in seasons for the first time or improve your performance across each campaign, this guide has all the must-know details from matchmaking to strategies for divisions success.

Overview – Conquer the Ladder Across 10 Divisions

The core seasons mode in FIFA 22 allows you to take your Ultimate Team online and compete against other players in a division-based format for exciting prizes and status. The key elements:

  • 10 divisions to work your way up, with Division 10 being lowest and Division 1 highest
  • Matchmade based on skill rating behind the scenes
  • Win matches to gain points and secure promotion
  • Weekly competition for better rewards in your division
  • Season resets place you back in lower division each new season

The goal is simple – fight your way up to Division 1 and finish as high as possible each season before your division placement resets. It‘s a new mountain to climb every season!

How Matchmaking and Rankings Work

When you enter your first placement matches, FIFA uses your player history and a hidden skill rating to estimate your ability level and match you with opponents. Each victory earms points towards promotion while losses deduct points:

As seen above, the average skill rating ranges from around 200 in Division 10 up to 1700+ in the Elite Division. Matchmaking tries to pair you with opponents near your rating for fair matches.

Here is the typical match outcomes and points earned per division:

Use these matchup dynamics to forecast how many wins on average you may need reach the next tier or hold division rank.

Rewards – Coins, Packs, and More

Competing in division seasons earns you rewards including coins, packs, player items. Here‘s a summary:

Weekly Rewards

  • Based on number of wins in division
  • Coins, tradeable packs with rare gold players item

Season Milestones

  • Milestone swaps earned – redeem for packs and players
  • Up to 6 swaps available via objectives

Season End

  • Coins and pack rewards based on final division placing

For instance, in Division 4 earning 8-10 wins per week would yield around 30,000 coins and 3 rare gold packs. At season end, holding Division 4 rank grants 50,000 coins and a premium players pack.

Be sure to check objectives and maximize swap milestones each season! Now let‘s get into strategy and tips…

Move Up Divisions – Proven Tactics

Based on my experience ranking up the latter half of divisions in FIFA 22, here are the most effective strategies I‘ve used successfully:

Win Streaks

  • The more consecutive wins you stack up, the greater points earned per match – take advantage!

Weekday Evenings

  • Avoid weekend days when more casual players are active for potentially easier matches

2 Star Teams

  • Yes you can refresh matchmaking with a weaker squad for better odds

Skilled Subs

  • Have faster, talented subs ready to deploy for late win chances

Defend Leads

  • Conservative tactics can help you close out wins once ahead

Remember matchmaking is tied to your recent form and number of matches played. Experiment to find what works best to maximize promotions!

Season Rollover and Resets

Every 6 weeks or so your current season will end and division ranks reset based on your finish:

  • Elite Division -> Division 2
  • Division 1 -> Division 4
  • All other divisions drop 2-3 ranks

This means you go back into placement matches and can start working up the divisions again next season. It keeps competition fresh!

Key Takeaways Summary

To recap the key details in seasons:

✅ Compete in 10 divisions against players of similar skill
✅ Gain promotion through winning matches week over week
✅ Top performers reach Elite Division above Division 1
✅ Seasons reset every ~6 weeks placing you back lower
✅ Matchmaking tries finding you equal opponents

Take your best Ultimate Team online and see how high through the divisions you can climb! That wraps up this comprehensive guide on exactly how FIFA 22 seasons work. Let me know if you have any other questions!
