Never heard of that band before. Considering they have an album called "Your Computer Lies" I would say that's probably more than a coincidence they chose that name... ^__^;
WTF, Fifa? Correlation does not imply Causation. More likely lots of September students started a web dev class. But that also is not proof of causation.
The FIFA web app is of particular interest in September not just because that's when the new one comes out, but because you can use the web app for a week or so before the actual game is released.
This means you can buy packs, trade players, and start getting your squad together before you even play the actual game, and this is important if you want to get a jump on other players quickly. Once the game is out, more people just trade in game.

The number of students starting a new web dev class are... tens of thousands, worldwide? A hundred of thousands?

The FUT Web App and other FIFA Web features are down for maintenance while we prepare for FIFA 19. The new web app launches on September 19th.
What if order counts, and "app web" != "web app"?
One moment, I will add a fourth chart that shows the popularity of 'web app' when substracting the Fifa effect.
...
Ok, I added a chart for which I substracted the values for 'fifa web app' from the values for 'web app'.
The result is a pretty nice trend.
