    So at least 1 player in the middle row? That second image makes it seem that there's nothing in having 4 players in the opponent's half.

    Well, I had a formation set to test tomorrow 4-1-0-2w-3 ... but the game already played due to the server glitch .. possession was (will be?) 54-46 ... but is that a reliable result?? I thought I tested that formation before with illegal results.

    I can test a few in friendlies today, but I'll have many players out of position. Do you think I'll still win? Roughly 85 average quality against maybe 25 average quality max? Level 14 against level 1 anyway. Just tell me what formations to play.
    God Bless!

    Just need to test a few formations with at 3+ middles without any in the middle row. e.g 4-3-0-0-3, 4-0-0-3-3, 4-4-0-0-2, 4-2-0-2-2

    You got back to me a bit late, though, I had already played the friendlies, and then the server reset itself so my players were in very bad condition, luckily my final match was against the bottom side. I can do some experiments tomorrow if you haven't already done them by then.
    God Bless!

    My players are pretty well hashed and I think I have to prepare for cup and CL games tomorrow??? or Monday???
    So if you (or anyone else) are in good shape for a friendly or two i think we just need to test otherwise legal formations (3+ defenders in back row, proper wingers, 1+ striker) with nobody in that middle row [ M(L/C/R) ]

    ok, i use this formation from time to time...

    ----st----st----
    ------amc------
    --mc-mc-mc----
    ------dmc------
    then either...
    dl-----dc-----dr
    or...
    ---dc-dc-dc---


    so as im reading, is that illegal to play the latter? (or both for that matter?)
    and what happens if you do play an illegal formation?

    'Illegal because you need At least 1, but no more than 2, players on EACH outside flank. {the D(L/R), DM(L/R), M(L/R), AM(L/R) slots}

    If you play an illegal formation, possession is 80%-20% in favor of your opponent.
    Unless he has an illegal formation too .. then i dunno what would happen ... need to test that.

    I'm guessing 50%-50%? As each teams 30% possession loss would cancel each other out

    I'd guess 50-50 too, but not for that reasoning as it's not exactly a 30% possession loss, just definitely 80-20. I won't assume that it's 50-50 if legal because one side or the other will have the lion's share of possession.
