We shouldn't take it easy just because we're playing an abandoned team. Last season i almost won the championship because the leader drew one game to an illegal formation team. Also i saw one player which was doing a good season loose a match to an illegal formation by 2-0. So Having a ton of possession doesn't guarantee you a win. You may rotate your squad, but always take your best players as subs, and prepare a counter formation in order to prevent a surprise (as stated before, i could not do this, so i struggled).
It's not normal it's a normally regulation, they get a penalty by not setting up a Team. You could look at the Squad and figure out which not illegal formation could be used if there is any. If not the 80% rule will give it's benefit.
