I ran this formation last season:
aml amc amr
mc mc mc
dl dc dc dr
I figured out it was illegal when my opponent of far less quality was leading possession 80/20, so i threw a striker in there real quick and won.

Same formation, no penalty.

Maybe Benlee4u is correct.

Something is definitely screwy...
EDIT:
After filing a bug report, I looked a little closer.
His keeper, O. Badda is a ST
Kemi, can you check the actual position of the player who was at GK in that game?
I'd like to use a formation that most teams (club and country), used for over fifty years until the mid 1970's, but this game deems it to be an illegal formation. It was 2-3-2-2-1. there were Left Back & Right Back (DL & DR), Left Half, Centre Half & Right Half (DML, DMC & DMR). Inside Left & Inside Right, (MC & MC), Left Wing & Right Wing (AML & AMR), Centre Forward (ST).
But it is illegal because there are only 2 defenders.

Now that i can do some testing again, I set up with a 3-5-1-1 to test the midfielder/opposite field requirements some more
Attachment 1706
I'll do some more testing over the next couple days, but this seems to confirm the requirement of at least 4 players on the opponents side of the pitch.
Need testing: (with flankers)
3-3-1-0-3
3-3-0-1-3
5-1-1-0-3
5-1-0-1-3

Sticky!!
Question
5-3N-1-1 is this legal or illegal formation?
