So this formation is legal? :
-----ST--ST---
---------------
ML-----------MR
---DMC--DMC-
DL--DC--DC--DR
Today saw the match. One team plays 3W-2(DMC)-3W-1-1.
In the middle of 2-nd half (score 1-1) hid DC was injured. No substitution was done. So the formation appeared as 2(DR+DL)-2(DMC)-3W-1-1. He lost 1-2. But the game continued to be equal !!! He really didn't lost possession. Does it means that playing with 2 defenders is "legal" since today ???
As I have read this post it seems to me as the following should be Ilegal, or?
----ST--ST--ST----
--------AMC-------
-----MC--MC----
-------DMC--------
----DC--DC----DR--
It is legal for my format below? Please advice.
---ST----ST----
------AMC------
ML----MC----MR
DL--DC--DC--DR
It is a touchy spot because what if u want to run a 4-2-4 and play long ball to your FWDS.U would then penalize the player for having 4 def 2 mids and 4 fwds..That would not be right.
