To climb up the ranking list in your division and promote to higher divisions, you need to increase your Skill Rating.

DIV 8 250 x1.5
DIV 9 100 x1.2

Placement Matches

To be ranked and placed in a division, you will need to play 5 replacement matches for the very first time you play Division Rivals. Once you have completed your replacement matches, it cannot be played again. Then, you will be assigned a Skill Rating based on your performance in those matches, which determines your Division.


Skill Rating

Your Division is determined by your Skill Rating. Skill Rating is a way to rate your skills in Division Rivals. The result of each match you play in your Division during the week impacts your Skill Rating. If you win, your Skill Rating is going to go up, but if you lose, it’s going to go down. By building up a high Skill Rating, you will be able to move to a higher Division. Your opponent is also a key part of the equation: if you beat someone with a higher skill Rating than yourself, you will earn a larger Skill Rating increase than if you beat someone with a lower Skill Rating. Similarly, when you are on the losing end of a match, your Skill Rating decreases more when it’s a lower-rated player rather than a higher-rated player.

This Skill Rating is coming from the “Elo rating system”, a method for calculating the relative skill levels of players in zero-sum games such as chess. It involves a K-value (K-factor – K=800/(N{e}+m), which equates to the maximum amount that your Skill Rating can increase per game. This K-Factor is different for each Division. Below is the list of K-factor values that Skill Rating calculation is based on:

Division K-Factor
1 30
2 50
3 60
4 60
5 60
6 60
7 60
8 60
9 50
10 30

Matchmaking

Division Rivals matchmaking system will try to match you with a player with a similar Skill Rating whose location is either same as you or is near you. This means that if you are on the cusp of promotion or relegation in Rivals, you could potentially play against an opponent in a higher or lower Division than your current Division.


Weekly Score

Weekly Score is the score you have gotten in a weekly competition of FUT Division Rivals. Weekly Score determines your Rank in your Division as well as what rewards you can choose from at the end of the weekly competition. Your performance will be evaluated every week based on your Weekly Score and you will either move up or down a division, or stay where you are. The Weekly Score is calculated using your Win/Draw/Loss record. This is how your Weekly Score is calculated:

Action Weekly Score
Win 500

Loss 150

Goals Scored 90 per goal to a maximum of 5
