80-20 cheat

You need some wingers my good man.

[Keith Gaule]

It's not illegal. AT least 3 def, check - at least 2 mid, check, doesn't have wingers, so doesn't have more than 2 W either side .. Just easy for opposition to play down the flanks against.

[Haroon Bhatti]

Goalkeeper (Must be player's natural position i.e. a GK) **
Some combination of at least 3 defenders (i.e. 3 players anywhere in the back row )
At least 1, but no more than 2, players on EACH outside flank. {the D(L/R), DM(L/R), M(L/R), AM(L/R) slots}
at least 3 midfielders (DM*, M*, AM*) at least one of which has to be an DM* or M*
At least 4 players on the opponents side of the pitch.
at least 1 Striker

At least 1, but no more than 2 players on each side. He has none, makes it illegal.

[Keith Gaule]

Ah! So you have to have at least one wing player, either in def or mid?

[Haroon Bhatti]

You have to have a pair of wingers either in defence or midfield. So for e.g DR, DL, MR, ML or just ML, MR or DL, DR.

It becomes illegal if you only have wingers on one side of if you have 3 wingers on one or both sides.

It´s illegal... ja ja.
Could you please explain why this is illegal. What happens if... Does that cause that my teamstrength goes down to zero?

And how could it be that I´m losing matches although my team is much stronger?

It just gives the other team 80% possession. It is possible to win with an illegal formation, I've seen it happen before. But still has to be the right formation, and the right orders, against your opponent. This type of formation would just be too easy to counter, and playing down the flanks would certainly allow a lot of goals, specially with 80% possession...

That's how Nordeus made it. In real life, you'd probably get a disadvantage with those formations too. Don't ask for any explanation beyond that. Just make sure that you have a legal formation.

This. The fact that only forum visitors know about the silly concept of illegal formations is quite unfair to the other 95% of players. Makes me wonder how many players Nordeus has lost due to players not knowing about it and getting frustrated. They should get rid of it or include warnings in the game when people set their formations.

As much as I give out about Nord, and some aspects of the game, that's just complete and utter nonsense. You're talking as if this 95% of players wouldn't know a strange formation unless they came here?? I didn't know about this illegal formation thing until very recently - and guess what? I've never used one anyway, because I know at least a little about football. And I can't think of one club, ever, who used one of these "illegal" formations - not regularly at least. I reckon any team who would, would be getting thrashed repeatedly, that explains the penalty.

If they didn't have some ruling on it, you'd be facing ridiculous formations from troll sides.

And I'd be willing to bet, a lot, that that 99% of that "95%" makey up number of people who can't use search to find this forum - for a game they are playing - do not use such silly formations.
