Yes it's legal (at least in NORDEUS point of view)

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--

I used this formation and I had 20% of possession ball. So I think it's "illegal" (for Nordeus of course )
