    just reading through this thread & the team i face tomorrow uses a formation that throws a part of this 'illegal' theory out the window.
    he has won 4 of his first 5 games whilst dominating possession, so i'll need to devise a counter lol
    here's a peek......

    Look at those matches and see whether he used this formation during the matches. It's rare, but some teams will go to the trouble of setting an illegal formation between matches to throw off opponents, or even start matches with an illegal formation and switching formations immediately after kickoff. He cannot dominate possession with that formation, he will be stuck with 20%. If his possession in those matches is not 20%, then he must have switched formations right after kickoff, you will still see the illegal formation he started with.

    sorry, my mistake mate....
    after looking closely at his stats, he won 3 of his 4 with only 20% possession, his other win was against a clown who must have copied his formation & he had 64% possession.
    so i'll just go with a {3n-1-4w-1-1} & kick his ass

    May I suggest that if a new user put an illegal formation through not being aware of the rule, that the system should inform him via a red flag, before the game rather than losing his game which is very disappointing
