Hi
I just played a match that by all accounts I should have won. It was a crucial match and I cannot figure why the opposition had 80% possession!?
I was playing at home. I was the only one attending and had 12% advantage for home.
My squad is 42,1% quality, his was 26,4%
My squad value 57,1M, his 21,6M
Similar average age.
99% condition and morale.
The only thing I have not done since season 2 was buy more tokens! Is buying tokens what rules this game? Anyone else found similar problems?
Sounds like you put a formation that doesn't conform to these rules on the pitch:
"Some formations are not allowed in Top Eleven and may lead to 20% ball possession, which in turn reduces the chance of victory.
Throughout the whole match you must have:
a goalkeeper (blue)
at least three defenders (green) (DL/DC/DR)
at least one striker (red)
at least one player on both flanks.
at least four players in the opponents half (ML/MC/MR or AML/AMC/AMR or ST)
at least three players in the midfield section (AML/AMC/AMR and/or ML/MC/MR and/or DML/DMC/DMR)
One player on each flank is enough, but three players on the same flank will also lead to 20% possession. "
From the wiki (wiki.topeleven.com)
You played an ILLEGAL formation as Cat told...
Well, there are some legal formation that should be "illegal"...
-----ST-----
----AMC----
ML--MC--MR
----DMC----
-DC-DC-DC-
-----GK-----
I mean, teams without defensive wingbacks are the latest trend (and exploit)... which is ridiculous, almost no team in the world plays without wingbacks since the 1950's.
On the other hand if you use Argentina's 3-5-2 formation that gave them a world cup in 1986...
-----ST-----
----AMC----
ML--MC--MR
-DMC-DMC-
-DL-DC-DR-
-----GK-----
Guess what, it's "illegal", lol.
120 employees, they said.
Not sure how that is illegal...Quote:

It's the classic "metodo", arguably reinvented in Barcelona, (with the influence of Cruijff' school).
The Question: Are Barcelona reinventing the W-W formation? | Jonathan Wilson | Sport | theguardian.com
It makes your ball possession down to 20% even if you put arrows down. lol
And that is sad that u can't even try a new Real Life formation in the game.... Our options are limited.....:(Quote:

------- Puyol ------- Piqué -------
------------- Valdes -------------
Recognize? :)
In Serbia it's illegal!
There are just no words... lol

It's illegal because no other team can make tht type of formation work. You need both Xavi & Iniesta to make it work. Hahahaha...Quote:
