head to head
FIFA 22 asks more than Squad, and the gap is variance.

FIFA 22 leans Execution (Competitive PvP); Squad leans Execution (Competitive PvP).
Squad leans a little harder on execution, though the gap is small.
FIFA 22
Perfect inputs win skill moves, timed finishing and defending
Squad
Bullet drop, sway, suppression test aim
Same score on reads - which means the number cannot separate them. The difference is in what each one asks of you.
FIFA 22
Outguessing a human's passing and defensive habits is the edge
Squad
Squad tactics versus humans demand prediction
FIFA 22 leans clearly harder on variance.
FIFA 22
Deflections, ref calls and pack luck inject real randomness
Squad
Minimal RNG, comm-driven outcomes
Squad leans a little harder on optimization, though the gap is small.
FIFA 22
Formations, tactics and squad building sit underneath the duel
Squad
Logistics, FOB placement, kit choice deep
A matching score does not mean a matching test. Two games can both sit at 10 on execution and demand completely different things of you - which is why the reasoning above matters more than the number beside it.
