    Hide your team's formation!

    I've been looking at a lot of discussion over at the "formations and tactics" forums, and I would like to see a feature to hide your formation from people viewing your team's page.

    This would force your opponent to look at your match history to come up with a counter.

    Payment scheme could be like:
    • 4 Coins - Hide for one day
    • 7 Coins - Hide for two days
    • 9 Coins - Hide for three days
    • 10 Coins - Hide for four days

    Then one more coins after that for each additional day (with a maximum of course).

    They could call it, stop talking to the press! (Maybe it could hide other things as well, like transfers made only while the information is hidden).

    Wondering if I took the time to type out that fancy formation? Nah, check out my python script!

    realistically you wouldn't be able to see the other teams current formation. only their previous games

    That's exactly what I'm going for. Much like in real life, very often before important matches a team won't release any tactic or formation information until they absolutely must because the match is starting.

    Currently, there's nothing you can do to prevent your opponent from knowing if you changed tactics. I mean, if you have loads of free time and can set your formation only a few minutes before the match... lol.

    I like this suggestion, However its not really necessary...

    You can always set a phantom formation up and change it close to the kick-off time for your next game and that can always keep your opponents guessing.

    I dont see the point, like JULY said you can change it before the match.

    Also there arent perfect counters, you cant see the orders, or injured players, that can make all the diference.
    THIS GAME IS TO RANDOM! I STOP WAISTING MY TIME!

    The problem with this is that it requires a lot of free time. Also, if you wait until too close to the start of your match you will be locked from making changes as there is a few minutes (3 I think) that you aren't allowed to make any changes despite the match not having started. (I rather like that feature btw).
