Hey ho,
I have a big problem:
Since my Second Season in League 2 started I have to fight against long during injuries despite my L5 Health Center. In League 1 without any Health building I had none of this problems. Why is this game so random?
This isn't the only bad thing about this game:
Having 20% Ball possession in a match against a player with 4,4 Points less is frustrating ( I lost 2:1). This is so random and is destroying everything.

I think level 1 players always have it easier, like how their Cup is exclusively for level 1 players.
Having 20% ball possession means you were playing an illegal formation. You need at least 3 defenders, 1 striker, and 1 player on each side, left and right.
Hey,
I was Playing:
-----St-----
AML-----AMR
-----MC-----
DML-----DMR
DL-DC-DC-DR
----GK------
Just because of the heavy injuries, but i think I had no illegal form
It's illegal, but I'm not sure what the exact rule is. It's something to do with having 3 players on each side.
I think its due to only one MC...not entirely sure tho.Quote:

Did your MC got injured? And yes if you play with 1 mc you risk to lose all ball possesion.
80% of my games over the last two seasons have been with one MC, no possession loss and if there was I certainly never noticed it enough to make me change, zonal marking with 6 MF players covers most if not all heavy MF formations.

Here are the formations, my MC has no injury and is my best player.
I have another problem: My goalkeeper was player of the game once but instead of showing player of the game 1 in his details he got 1 assist
Strange?
The formation I've already dealt with, I played a similar formation once and fixed the possession problem by repositioning both my wide DMs, see how that works out for you, maybe they can play wide midfield or DMC? About your GK and the assist, I have no idea. Do you have screenshots?
This formation was just an emergency formation: all my other MC were injuried. Normally I play with no DML and DMR but with 3 MC
Today I lost a game against a Player 1 League lower than mine, 5 rating points lower and he just had 20% possession ( I tried to test my new Scout player) WHY?
Playing with 1 MC has no baring on possession in the case above.
Last season I played over twenty games with either 1 MC or none at all. take a look at my sig, possession IMO is defined by: watching the match, player quality against opposition and passing type with a formation that dominates MF, as such it creates chances for the striker and also stops runs from MF against your defense.
The formation I used above was.
-----DC--DC--DC
----DMC-----DMC
MR-----------------ML
----AMR------AML
----------ST
Its all about out numbering your opponent in MF, forcing him to play long balls, which create possession loss.
Even against 3MC's that formation played with the correct orders and a couple of arrows will dominate the MF.
Take 4-3-3 as an example, why does the V formation work well:
1. 5 MF players against 3.
2. Opponents MF is blocked so has to play from the back with long balls.
4-4-2 against butterfly, 4-4-2 relies on flank play suppling the strikers and is weak through the centre, it has three rows of players get in between those rows and block the flanks you will again force him to play long to create chances again giving away possession.
See how they match up in their basic formation.
---DR---DC-ST--DC---DL
-AML----------------AMR
--MR---MC---MC---ML
--------MC---MC
-DML--------------DMR
---DC-ST-DC-ST-DC
Of course in the game other factors play apart, but by watching the game having a full stadium should give you a head start with circa 12% less any away add ons.
Even against 4-5-1, outnumber the MF you win possession %.
All the above is based on playing this game, and in general against opposition from the same level and always with a decent win bonus, :D which progressively gets higher as the two cup comps progress. league stays around the same 2nd-3rd option.
A perfect example was my CL victory last season, post 399.

What orders did you use and what arrows.Quote:

He has more than likely played with mixed focus, which certainly would over run you through the centre.
Check the game comments leading to the goals, see where they came from.
If the possession loss persists I would be taking screen shots of the last few games and the next couple of games and sending them to support.
AS for the OP injuries, I would not be surprised to find you are being hit for progressing your facilities to fast, L6 medical at L2 is some going not to mention the rest of the upgrades in other areas to get to L6.
So today the Goalkeeper Best Player /assist issue is gone. Good.
I have offensive arrows on MCs AML AMR and St and defensive arrows on all the others!
I only had so few possession in this match in most other matches I have about 60-80%
By the way: Almost forgot to say Thank you for your replies!
