One of the features I like of FIFA 13 is the tournament mode. In FUT seasons have a format and giving you 10 matches to play, promoting you up to a higher standard of opponent if you reach a certain number of points.
There are 2 points levels to reach in your 10 games – if you manage to hit enough points to get you promoted to the next division you’ll get a pretty good coin bonus, but if you can go further than that and get enough points to crown you the league champion you’ll get even more coins.
I have noticed that tournaments does put you in matches against similarly-skilled players, it doesn’t also put you in with similarly-rated squads. I always play my best squad in the tournaments – this is only way to succeed.
