possesion issue

[powerzhea]

Hi

i dont understand something, always during friendly or other matches, i have total ball possesion of around 70, almost the entire match, i changed my formation, tested this in a friendly, now the total ball possesion is only 20 %???

What is that all about?????

Your formation is illegal, you need a goalkeeper, at least 1 ST, at least 1 player and not more than 2 players on each side, and at least 3 defenders.

If you're unsure, just go for a normal formation.

What does it mean illegal formation? This formation seems unbeatable, and it's made on the players i have, i can't afford to buy a new player to just change my formation.

My formation is like:

s s s
m
m m
m
d d d

k

got 3 strikers, 4 mid, 3 def, and one keeper, whats illegal about it?

maybe you don't have wingers (only mc and dc)
it's also considered to be illegal and that's why your possession drops

Looks like your not playing any players on the wings, you need at least 1 left-sided and 1 right-sided player
