In early access FIFA 18 version there’s a bug where captain always gets disconnected before the game starts. Drop ins are fine, but club matches are affected.
1- Someone takes captinancy and gets kicked before arena. (Take it in turns?)
2- Everyone else plays the match
3- The kicked player needs to rejoin the lobby in his position before the end of the current match
4- The whole team must click ‘next match’ after the match is completed
5- As long as the lobby finds a match, 100% nobody will disconnect
6- Repeat this and play and play until either the auto lobby doesn’t find a match or the opposing team quit half way through.
