Professional FIFA 20 players from North America were suspected of trying to avoid full-time fights in FUT Champions mode using the Discord channel. This accusation was voiced by RunTheFUTMarket blogger in a video published on October 20. According to him, the players agree in advance on the start of the match, so as not to meet each other and not lose the rating.

The blogger said that the vast majority of e-sportsmen and young players from the top 100 ranking do this. Such a conspiracy is contrary to EA rules, so if the allegations are confirmed, users can be punished. The developers have not yet commented on this incident.

Earlier in FIFA 20, there was a conflict between two professional players during the qualifiers for the tournament. One of them spent the whole match in his own half of the field. He owned the ball 95% of the time, but only attacked in the last seconds of the halves.
