Ask the Devs

Here are the ones in question:

Can we have wing positions, would be ahead of AMR and AML to each side of the strikers?

There are multiple ways to define roles in football, and the current one is the one we chose. AMR and AML with arrows set to forward would be the wing positions you are asking for

**** So based on this statement of the devs, you would use red arrows to have ANY player act as the position ahead of them, and blue arrows to have a player act as the position behind them. The question is when: when you have possession or not.

I’d like to know why it is an illegal formation to have only 2 defenders. I want to play the old style formation of: Left and Right back, Left, Centre & Right half-backs, Inside Right & Left, and Left & Right Wing supporting Centre Forward. Virtually all teams used to play this way until the 1970′s. Why should I be at a disadvantage because I like this formation.

You can either have DL and DR or centre DC to move forward (by using arrows), and let them organize the game as such. It’s very uncommon for wings now to organize matches, so it is usually done by DMC.

**** They still dont give a 100% answer but this should be enough to confirm what I have been saying.
