Illegal formation is when you use 2 or more players on wrong position *
* with only 1 player on a wrong position is giving a low penalty as i know

[Kyroshill]

Theoretical Legal Formation Requirements:


Goalkeeper (Must be player's natural position) <---- Don't think so... see earlier screenies
Some combination of at least 3 defenders (i.e. 3 players anywhere in the back row )
At least 1, but no more than 2, players on EACH outside flank. {the D(L/R), DM(L/R), M(L/R), AM(L/R) slots} <--- watched this happen in-game.... I'd say verified true!
at least 3 midfielders (DM*, M*, AM*) at least one of which has to be in the middle row (MC, ML or MR) *This rule isn't totally confirmed
At least 4 players on the opponents side of the pitch. *This rule isn't totally confirmed <--- I have personally suffered under this rule for 28 painful game minutes while trying to play ultra-defensive!
at least 1 Striker

i often play a 4-5-1V but since i have no players on my team that can play naturally as AMR and AML, i use my MR and ML in those AMR/AML positions. I thus have two players out of position. I have had no problems with that.
I have also had a right back injured once so i used a centreback on the right --> 3 players out of position.

I had no problems whatsoever and it was like normal for me possession wise

btw, it's not illegal to use a DMR and a DR right? as long as I have no MR or AMR it shut be legal, right?

what is this? I can't see her formation or she's playing with only 6 player?

That is an abandoned team.

She's playing with 11, but 5 of her starting 11 ran out of contract. I'd hazard a guess at a 4-3-3, possibly 3-4-3.

First of all thanks for the answers. therefore can I easily defeat her?

Yes, she will have a lot of players out of position. I don't think you need to worry about beating her, it will be easy
