You get a possession penalty, I do not know how big it is, would guess at 5-10%, something like that. Definitely not a game-killer so to speak, but at the same time a disadvantage that isn't completely insignificant.
With one of my accounts I have solved this with a back-line of:
DL-DC-DC-DMR
Arrows up on the DL, and often the DMR too.
Try it and let it know how it goes!
With City, I would probably try
Sagna (DR)-Ota(DC)-Stones(DC)------------------
----------------------Fernandinho(DMC(R)--Kolarov (DMR)
---------Grundogan(MC(L))------------------De Bruyne
Sterling (AML)-----------------Silva(AMC(L)-----------
Auguero (ST)
Like this:
KDB would be very offensive even as a ML with the offensive arrow. I recon you would want him to be the FK-specialist. Kolarov should definitely have the Shadow-Striker ability, would get to take a lot of long-shots from that position. Silva and Grundogan as Dribblers to help you get more possession. And so forth.![]()
