Definitive Illegal Formation Rules

[Daisy Malika]

I used this tactic today. Not seriously, I'm trying to stay below the 7th in the League. But, to my surprise, my team did not lose possession (far from the 20% expected).



and here, a more radical example:

at 2nd pic in the real football is like using sweeper and DMC/DMR/DML as defensive player

[Steppenwolf]

Now this is trolling... and I'm really



And opponent played this formation entire game

[brontosaurus]

I watched two games: in the first game, the one team had only one player at the sides and the possession was only 56-44 against him (his rival played a legal 4-3N-2W-1).
In the second game, one team had 3 players at the left and the possession was only 39-61 against him and he even managed to win a legal 4-4-2 (for this game i can give a screenshot).

So, they may have changed the rules about illegal formations

Is 3N-2(DMC)-2(MC)-2W-1 a legal formation?

[t11_fan]

Is 3N-2(DMC)-2(MC)-2W-1 a legal formation?

Yes, It is legal

[swelzfc]

Yes, It is legal

Great, planning to use in a league rematch.

Here's a formation that should be considered illegal per your second rule (Some combination of at least 3 defenders (i.e. 3 players anywhere in the back row [DL, DC, DR] )) , but as you can see, it's not. I've considered recently trying a formation with 2 DCs and 3 DMs (DML, DMR, DMR) and I don't think it should be deemed illegal as well.

Formation rules and penatlies are 'not as intended' at the moment

[Enrico Habiger]

When will come the illegal formations back? Does someone know this???

well supported a friend today who played against team with no wingers at left side !! possession was almost 50-50 !!?
WTF? did Nordeus changed the amount of penalties for playing an illegal formation?
