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?
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.
