Why do i lose a game when i heave better players? Bug?

[July Fourth]

That formation your using is illegal and you lose massive amounts of possession...

You need:
At least 1 player on the left/right side, 3 Defenders, 1 Striker and Obviously a Goalkeeper, Then your possession will go to a normal %.

Ok but does DMC and AMC also count as MC? or do i have to have 3MC strictly?

[kilkenny-rugby]

no you dont have to have 3mcs you can use a dmc and amc thats ok. but if you want to play that formation you have to have a LB and RB.

Thug,

You basically have to have at least 1 goalkeeper (GK), 3 defenders (defenders include DL,DR,DC) at least 3 midfielders (midfielders include DML,DMC,DMR,ML,MC,MR,AML,AMC,AMR), 1 striker (ST), 1 left flank player (DL,DML,ML,AML), and 1 right flank player (DR,DMR,MR,AMR).

Try switching formation, and rotating your players once in a while. Sometimes your lower-level players will perform better in a match than your higher-level players. I alternated 3 different formations last season 3-5-2, 4-2-2-2, and 4-3-1-2.

My main formation is a modified 3-5-2:

-------ST----ST-------

AML------AMC------AMR

-------MC----MC-------

----DC----DC----DC----

-----------GK----------

Good luck!

They aren't counted like MC, you need at least 2 MC for normal possession, you can try in a friendly game difference between 3-2 and 1 (3-2 it's same pos.) but when you will play with one you will have problems.

this game is a scam. i buy scout players every season but still manage to lose to teams with an average quality of 20 less than my team. i lost 5 players due to injury in only two games. i lost my only striker, bought another scout striker and first game he played, he got injured in 15 mins. all i can say is scam scam scam

[Mohamad Adam Broderick]

if you dont believe me add me

[bisp23]

You are better playing a player slightly out of position (ie a a right footed DC at RB) rather than playing the formation you have where your players might well be in their specialist positions but you dont have anyone at all on the right side of your team!

[bisp23]

I think you answered your own problem with "I lost my ONLY striker"...did it not occur to you that he can't play every game? And buying scout players is (a) cheating [they are manufactured and owned/sold by Nordeus, not trained by a real player] and (b) a waste of real money.
