One of my team faced a similar team yesterday. It has sufficient players but some of starting positions are not assigned. Probably, I cannot exactly remember, some assigned players are out of position. When the match started, I found that it has a full starting lineup with players in correct position. My team defeated it but it is not as weak as it looks.

My brother did that before, by using the formation saving feature he made a ridiculous lineup to deceive his opponents, and change his lineup with a saved one few minutes before match, so that his opponent can't come up with a counter before the match started.
Gamesmanship at its fullest
I never do that, too much of a hassle![]()
Its normally out of contract players/unsigned players that leave gaps. Not looked at the days of your post or game but ultimately this is rectified when 7 days have elapsed since the Season started - when the players are released and the system realligns the squad positions with the 'filler' players it already added on day 1. So if the match was still in the first week there's your answer.
Not sure if you can also force the system to use out of contract players through Saved Formations - never tried it, but I doubt it.
