Definitive Illegal Formation Rules

[Maiko Frenz]

I played the left formation below and it was illegal despite meeting the requirements on the first page. All players met their positions too.


The illegal problem arose as i changed a DMC for an AMC. Maybe there is a problem with the pitch being 4 players on my side and 6 on the opponents half on the field.

Thanks, Malko.
My guess is it has something to do with not having a player in midfield ( an MC or DMC)

We've revised this rule several times:

• at least 3 midfielders (DM*, M*, AM*) at least one of which has to be an DM* or M*

Maybe it should be:

• at least 3 midfielders (DM*, M*, AM*) at least one of which has to be an DMC or MC
  ???????

If you can do any testing of this, i'd appreciate it. I can probably do some testing as I got bounced from the Cup in the first round this season :-(

Note that the new wiki contains this information

Some formations are not allowed in Top Eleven and may lead to a very low ball possession, which in turn reduces the chance of victory.
Throughout the whole match you must have:

• a goalkeeper (blue)
• at least two defenders (green)
• at least one striker (red)
• at least one player on both flanks.

One player on the flank is enough, but three players on the same flank will also lead to low ball possession.

I'm trying to ascertain whether this information is official and/or represents recent changes in the game engine.

So, 4-2-2-2 Hegaxon it's a legal formation, correct?

They weaseled. It's officially unofficially official.
I won't be making any changes on the basis of the wiki.

Please re-read the first post in this thread.

I find the at least 1 striker nonsense.
Nowadays more and more teams play 4-6-0 as a variant of the 4-2-3-1. The only striker will be changed for an extra midfield player.

4-2-3-1 is used to counter a lot. When a teams needs to maintain a win or a draw they change to 4-6-0.

AML---AMC---AMR
--------MC------
----DMC---DMC---
DL---DC---DC---DL

Nothing wrong with this imo
