Definitive Illegal Formation Rules

[lord_phil]

Hi, In 2 games I was playing with a 5-4-1 formation.
Both of the times an MC was sent out with a red card, making my formation a 5-3-1, and I got possession 80-20% for my opponent, meaning illegal formation. Why??
I had wingers (both defenders and mid), I got 3 players in mid (ML, MC, MR) and 1 ST. All players in their right position.

So my formation was GK - DL DC DC DC DR - ML MC MR - ST
This shouldn't be an illegal formation, but twice I got 80-20% basically lost the games.

lack of players in central mildfield causes 20% possession. Every formation now needs 2 (not suspended) players in middle of mildfield

What a weird rule, have they never seen a formation in real football with one MC?

Have you worked out all the possible new illegal formations as yet? Just wondering, has anyone tested possible changes in the back or forward positions.

As far as I know:
4-3W-3, 5-3W-2, 3n-2wdm-mc-2wam-2, 3n-3wdm-2wam-2

Exactly, it's so normal to have 3 midfielders, with one MC...now it has become illegal it seems. It doesn't make sense though
