Ball possession

[NielsBlokzijl]

It really irritates me that the last 8 games i played.. i have had 20% ball possession...
Im much better than the other team...
The morale is very good...
The opponent is in the same level as me...
My line-up is normal...

Does someone know why this is?

Is because of your formation, your line-up is not normal.

You need to have at least 1 striker, 1 or more midfielders (from case to case), 3 defenders and 1 player on both sides, post a picture with your team please.

Can you post a picture with your team from squad tab?

[FC Strandbal]

You have players playing out of their position. GK as ST or something like that.

The formation is illegal because you only have 2 midfielders. 5-2-3 is the only possible formation with less than 3 midfielders.

Hi, I got the same issue. Then, I changed the formation during a match, and saw immediatly the difference of ball possesion.

From what I saw there, I think one of your player from side or 1 of your mc it was on a wrong possition, because formation was ok.

I'm getting PO at this game. The DEVs don't know **** about football yet they make up formation law?

This is apparently legal though

ST
AMC. AMC
ML. MR
DML. DMR
DC. DC. DC

It will actually look like a circle.....
Open your eyes DEVs.

In real life, there would be a huge space for the opponents to exploit, but with zonal marking on T11, the most open opponent will be the central MC who is only double marked. The team's attack would be slightly odd, though, with lots of support down the wings, but AMCs being the most advanced midfielders.
