How come when I play Away and watch the game, I don't get most of the possession?

Your second game hun you had no one on the right flank it's an ilegal formation you will only get 20% check out the ilegal formation thread !!!!!

Thanks! I sort of understand it now. I have another away game also and I'm gonna have to start my lower ranked AMR. I'll see if the possession changes. I'm wondering is it ok if I play a MR instead of AMR?

---St---St---
AML---------
---CM--CM--MR--
DL--DC--DC--DC
------GK-------

Or would it be considered an illegal formation?

An MR would be fine. There's no rule saying formations have to be symmetrical

There is no illegal informations in real football, take f.ex Chelsea that plays with DML, DC, DC, DR Back.

BTW the most used formation or strongest in todays football is 4-2-3-1
DL, DC, DC, DR, MC, MC, AML, AMC, AMR, ST ......almost every team plays that formation now

then play it !!!!!it's not illegal in this game either hun , illegal formation is a stupid phrase really !!! one that the game uses and the game engine picks up on, Although it would be a stupid formation lol without a keeper etc !!!!!

Could it be that it's a Cup/Champions League game?? Before the lost yesterday, I had another game before where I played away and it was a league game and I dominated 4-1. Neither side watched that game, my opponent had 5+ possession due to attendance, but I still had 70% possession.

No one from Nordeus has ever come forward and give a definitive answer on the power of the arrows and exactly what they do.

However if i were you i'd calm down a bit on the arrows and before you say anything it might have worked in the past but as you get to higher levels your playing against more experienced and more competent managers.

When everybody's fit if i was the manager of your team i don't think i'd use any arrows. Maybe and i do mean maybe on the wingers

You dont have any player on the right, so you are playing a ilegal formation.

At least one player in each flank, but not more then 2.

am MR would be fine Jomel and even for some games its ok to put a high quality mc in mr position I find that can work too !!!

on my last game, I started with a 4-3-3 fomation
--ST--ST--ST--
--CM--CM--CM--
DL--DC--DC--DC--
and noticed that after about 20 minutes in the game, my opponent was having more possession than me even though I was watching the game as the home side, 5+ because of my fans, and on his side he had no bonus. So I quickly subbed a DC for a DR and I got back all the possession, but barely won 1-0. Does not having a DR count as an illegal formation if you play 4 defenders in the back?

Chill on the arrows mate! Tiring ur players fairly fast & risking injuries I figure
