Definitive Illegal Formation Rules

[Kemi]

So... any ideas, why this formation is illegal? Away-Team-Manager was watching and Home-Team-Manager not, btw.

Kemi, I've used that exact formation before. Without penalty.
So, we're getting some weird results that don't seem to fit any rule. I'm more confused than ever.

[Razz]

Someone like to comment on why this formation was penalised with 20-80 possession.
I cannot see anything that seems to infringe on the current known guidelines if illegal formations.....

No possession penalty for me

[Razz]

I think this proves that having less than 4 players in your opponents half is considered an illegal formation.

I got possession penalty with this formation too.

[Benlee4u]

I think something is wrong with game engine...see below. 4-3-3 loose possession....

I'm the away side though

Is 3-3-4 legal?

[Potemy]

Is 3-3-4 legal?

I think it would be, but it's not possible on T11 with only 3 striker slots. The closest you can get is 3-0-3-2-2.

you are joking, right?>
4-2-4 is a 2 striker formation with 2 wingers, wingers are considered forwards in spain italy and south america, while in english speaking countries they are considered part of midfield

No 4-2-4 is not two wingers! they are wing FORWARDS! different positions in that the wing forwards are more attacking than wingers. for players to be considered "Forwards" they don't have to be Centre forwards, they are different positions within a band such as forwards, defenders. For example in the Centre back position there are normal CB's then there are sweepers who don't necessarily have to be set up behind CB's. similarly in the forward positions there are different types of forwards Target man, wing forwards, second strikers, poachers etc. a wing forward differs to a winger!

Is just one player on the flank illegal or does both sides have to be occupied?

Both flanks should contain players
