Why is the formation illegal if you lose dl or dr?? You need to have at least 3 defenders for a formation to be legal. You lose a dr or dl you have 3 defenders... In narrow diamond only if the striker gets a red it would be illegal. In my 12 seasons it has never happened to me.

Because if you lose a DL/DR you no longer have at least one player on each wing which is illegal.

It depends if you mean 4-3N-3 or 4-3W-3.

But then if your only MC gets a red it becomes illegal, doesn't it? Isn't there a rule that if you play only 2 midfielders they better be MCs?
4-1(DMC)-3W-2 could work.

In my short time here I've found 4-4-2 in a counter-attacking stylee to be a more reliable offline strategy. it's what I now do for my 3rd team cos I often forget when they're playing. (Probably easier to set up subs too bt don't quote me).

Yes, 4-4-2 is easy to set up subs for - GK always easy, then have as 2 strikers as subs if you can - need at east one, and then try and have midfield and defence players with multiple positions as subs, but make sure you have at least someone who can play central and someone who can play on a wing.

Yeah, I was just covering my back in case someone said "No! x-x-x is easier nubcakes!"

Isn't this Screenshot by Lightshot 4-3W-3? Of course without the wrong positions...

Yes, but as I understand it you have to have a central midfielder of some sort, so that would mean DMC, MC or AMC. If your Mc gets sent off and you were playing 4-3W-3 you wouldn't have this.
