if you have a look at the forum there's a topic that says counterformations. Have a look at it and you will find one or two counterformations which might be suitable for your team ali08saratan

I might be thick, but what happens if you play against someone with an illegal formation.
Tonights fixture is for 2nd and 3rd place and I noticed my opponent has set his team in an illegal formation right now.
He's playing:
DL -- DC -- DC -- DC
ML -- MC --MC -- MC
-- -- --- --- AMC
------------ ST ----



Does it end up in him having a 20% possesion in favour? Or does it end up me only having 20% possesion
I'm just wondering if I should make a screenshot on my mobile (since I will be away from my PC tonight) and report him if it turns out to be an advantage for him.

Could anyone give me heads up about this since I dont want to win or lose against someone being an Jack***

You will get 80% possession.

You are not guaranteed a win but you'll definitely get the bulk of the attacks

Hi guys,

Which part don't you understand?

• Goalkeeper (Must be player's natural position i.e. a GK)
• 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}
• 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.
• at least 1 Striker

Weirdest formation ever.

Anyway, do you guys usually try to beat illegal formations using different formations to match them?

Sure. Against that, you'd put in minimum defenders, maximum attackers.

-----ST--ST---
---------------
ML-----------MR
---DMC--DMC-
DL--DC--DC--DR
