Just as I think that my defender is sent off for a professional foul and they get a penalty.

Next I bring on a defender to shore up the backline, thus negating my illegal formation. I immediately go up about 60-40% on possession and I take control of the game. I won the game 2-1 but that wasn't the issue for me, later in the game the substitute was himself red carded and as I only had 9 players and no substitutes left I couldn't avoid playing the last twenty minutes with an illegal formation.

I received 2 red cards and 4 yellow in the game, despite the 'light tackling' order and despite the fact that generally I don't receive many bookings or red cards.....

In the end my opponent was up 60-40 on possession and he failed to beat 9 men. I was heavily trolled in the discipline stakes but he was trolled by losing 2-1 to 9 men.

All in all very bizzare. I guess a further lesson to enjoy the game for what it is, but not to waste money on it.

Madness.
When this happens, just move ANY player into the position you need so it wont be an illegal formation. come on people!!! playing players out of position means absolutely nothing! show me where Nordeus says that there is a penalty of some sort for playing a player in a position that is not his normal. And I am not talking a thread here that is created by a forum member. I am talking info from the ask the devs or MDKII himself. and no, not the wiki, because that is forum member created and nothing in it is confirmed by nordeus themselves, well nothing we really want answered.
