You played an illegal formation, that is why you got 20% possession.Quote:

Or, you play with a stupid lineup and he exposed your weak spots.
my formation was GK
DR,DC,DC,DC,DL
DMC
MC
ST,ST,ST
but whole last season i was playing that formation and everything was ok!?!
and won league with that formation
I think it's the same as (5-2-3) which i played last season for just 1 game(cup semi final), which I have 20% possession only as well. Opponent Quality is Half of mine and he was playing 5-3-2. It's kinda weird as these were also "considered" as illegal? That lost of first league cost my cup.Quote:

There are more rules besides this, same goes to Michael. And Michael, he did much more wrong than just playing with a stupid lineup, if he had played a legal formation, even if the opponent found his weak spots, I believe he would have won easily.Quote:

It's an illegal formation. ;)Quote:

As I said, illegal or stupid. Turned out it was both illegal AND stupid.
How could you do well in previous leagues? I'm really curious.
It is the only possible formation with less than 3 midfielders, though. I don't know about possession bonuses, but I usually play variations of 3-2-2-2-1.Quote:

but i was playing that formation last season and had normal ball possesion
and 2nd place in champions league
Only thing I cant think of is that your opponents played illegal lineup as well and you spent a ****load of money to get past them.
Where do you guys come up with such stupid formations? How can one MC and DMC have possession of the ball in the midfield? Are they passing from one to another until they get to meat with the attackers at the other's team goal? not even 2 MC so they can advance together ... go read about football formations - tactics and learn what works, this game is simple but not for every one to play.Quote:

Long balls. 5-2-3 and 4-2-4 are real life formations, albeit rare ones, and there will be wingbacks or wingers supporting the two midfielders. It would be nice if you could add something constructive in a polite manner now and then.Quote:

Today I played against a 38.2 (I'm a 25.5) in Cup. His lineup was kinda like yours:
DR DC DC DC DL
DMC
MC
AMC AMC
ST
It's not illegal, but it is a lame lineup, I had 60% of possession in the whole first half and I'm way worse then him, just because my wingers were basically unmarked. I won cause two of his player got injured and the ST got expelled so I finally managed to score three goals.
Still, I think his lineup wasn't illegal because he had two amc, but should be in any other case, especially matena's one.
Maybe your opponents set their lineup with players out of role, like a dc used as a striker. Last league there were like five teams like that, chances are you met a lot more.
So your 5-2-3 has normal possession now? That's weird, as far as we know, 5-2-3 is an illegal formation, there's a thread in Tutorials and Guides.
i think our friend here is correct,there are diferences since last season,i am level 16 with a very strong team ,i hardly win games now with lower levels and possesion is like 56 to 44 with level 15 in my home,i think they messed up the all game play ,i dont think its only my opinion,i heard more friends saying same thing
