Taking a wild guess, the rival thing will have an influence on fan behaviour, like TV games.

Fans will compare the own performance with the rival's performance (benchmark) and matches against rivals will have an extra effect on the fanbase.

Just guessing.

yes maybe ,
but if your rival is the best one , and you just promoted , it is not really fair ?
How the choice of rival is made , i don t think it is random . there is so many questions about this new rule lol...

I really don't know. But in real life a rivalry can also stem from local or historic roots and does not necessarily reflect competitiveness.

(and of course I CAN be better than the best team in the division I have just been promnoted to - ok, just kidding...)

My rival is a brand new team. The old owner faded away at the end of last season. Guess I'll be able to thump my "rival" since he's got brand new players and mine are a bit more developed! But I really don't get it.

Don't ask what sort of Chunks they are, you probably don't want to know. Blowing Chunks since Season 4!

My guess is that this feature will be dynamic, while it was randomnly assigned for now.

As the season progresses, you rival might be the team thats competing with you for top league ranking, playoff seeds, or even to avoid relegation.

I don't think that the rival is randomnly assigned.

For exemple, I'm just promoted and my rival is the "worst" team.

For the best team it's the second best team. And it seems to be the same for all division.

I just promoted , in my division last season's 4th team has 4 different rival ( two new promoted , the last season best team , last season 6th team ) .
there is no team with me as rival.
and both best team have two different rival.... quite randomly , i think
And the other new promoted has the last champion as rival ;)
