Yes buying from the US dashboard will work. I do this will all the games I buy and it works out cheaper, you also get to play three days earlier than the UK.

You have to go to your settings then select system then language and location then choose United States or what dashboard you wish to use.

Those steps I gave are considering you are on Xbox One. You cannot purchase games on 360 from other regions unless you make a brand new account in then region you want to buy the game from.

I was going to do this but i was talking to an xbox customer support person and he said that if you downloaded it you'd get paired up with Americans all the time online leading to terrible connection so i'm debating on doing it or not now

The guy who told you that is talking complete BS lol you don't get matched up specifically with the region of players you purchased the game from.

How though if i have the American version of the game it would make more sense to match me up with Americans?

I have the US version of every game I have and on FIFA I mostly get matched against people from the UK where I'm from. Also to your question I think matchmaking is decided by your actual locale, I'm positive there's not a system in place as the xbox guy described to you.
