is this formation legal??? 4-1-1-3-1

Hi,
I have 3 MC injured, and I am thinking of going to the game today with this formation:

4-1-1-3-1
---------ST----------
AML-----AM------AMR
---------MC----------
---------DM----------
DL----DC----DC----DR

is this formation legal??? I already qon 4-0 in the first game, so I just don't want to have the 80-20 illegal issue...

thanks,
Ofer

yes it is

It is, you just need at least 3 defenders, 2 midfielders (MC/ML/MR), 1 player on each side and 1 striker :)

Not by this logic. I have played teams who had no ML/MC/MR and they were not penalised for an illegal formation

I even played with 1 MC only and never got done for an illegal formation

you need 3 midfielders, it can be any of the yellow positions, also the defensive or offensive ones: DMR, DMC, DML or AMR, AMC, AML

another rule:
and it cant be more than 2 on each flank. I played once with

---------ST----------
---------------------
ML------MC--------MR
DML--------------DMR
DL----DC----DC----DR

and it was illegal (but i changed it after a few mins so no problem)
