The game treats some formations as illegal. It penalises those formations by restricting possession to 20% - how it manages to do it is beyond me.

My best guess is that the game engine doesn't cope well with some formations and if it allowed all formations then results could get even weirder than they are. Bottom line is there's no free will in coded games.
