20% Ball position

[Raykco]

I don't think that having just 2 defenders, should be an illegal formation. Up until the 1970's, practically ALL teams used to employ just two fullbacks. They had 3 "Half-Backs" (DM/DML/DMR). Wonder why we can't use this system now.

Have you recently changed your formation? as sometimes if you are watching the match and move a couple of players the ball posseion drops low as in your case so you may want to change your formation.

That is okay your formation here is infact 4-1-2-1-2 or 4-4-2 Narrow Diamond

It depends on the strength of your opponent and the formation you both play.

So are we saying as long as three green players are in your own half, there would be no possession loss.

MFR/DMR----DC/DMC----MFL/DML

In order for a formation to be legal it must have:

-At least 3 defenders.
-At least 1 striker.
-At least a player in each flank.
-A goalkeeper.

Thanks. technotronic for this info. I've played with no wingers and LM/RM before. Seems OK. No heavy loss on possession.

Thanks I was actually planning on playing a 4-6-0 formation as an "experiment" But now since its "illegal" its pointless actually attempting playing 4-6-0.

Haha. Looks like Spain fans can't play their fav team's formation here. Sigh.

Seems like in TE, having 2 defenders is 'illegal' and 20%possession is the 'punishment'.
