I saw and changed again the format back again with 3 DC's 1DML and 1 DMR 2 MC AML and AMR and finaly the striker.
Stopped changing team now. Drove me nuts this morning.

They are the only people with a factual answers to your question.
good thread. I just beat a better team in the CL semifinal. He had only 20% possession because he had no wingers. I see this alot with opponents and friends. I asked support point blank to define all illegal formations and support wouldnt. I seem to have been penalized for having more than six in the Defender plus DM category but am not sure. overly defensive formations and irregular defensive formations seem to be a problem.
Just to confirm, playing 1xMC only is NOT an illegal formation. This morning I played a guy in the League that selected only 1xMC (3xAMs), I countered with only 1xMC & 2xDCMs. Possession was about 60-40 my way. When I was up 3-0 not long after half time (about 52nd min) I retreated my AMR & AML to MR & ML, & possession barely changed, finished 62-38. If playing 1xMC was illegal, then possession would have gone far more strongly to me during the second half.
So any 3 yellow players on the field would make up a legal formation.
:D
I clinched my league today (!!) so I can do some testing the next three days.
I want to test playing with no goalie - if, say, pulling your goalie forward in the 85th minute leads to a possession penalty for illegal formation, then that would be a bug, aye?
Also missed the obvious that 5-2-3 is the only possible formation with less than three midfielders.
not true
0 CM is fine

you must have:
at least 3 defenders
at least 1 striker
at least 4 players in the opponent half
at least a pair of players on both flanks
