I won 3 titles in row with average teams using ONLY 4-2-2-2 Hex formation and never changing it during game, that's not the point... Point is the other formation... By any reasonable odds that formation should concede 3 goals per striker in every game, no matter what formation they are facing and how good opponent is... The same thing happened in the last game. Opponent was playing 3W in the back line and DC got red card... Since that moment they started playing like there is 10 of them in the defence... BTW, I changed formation in the 1st minute, pulling DR in the DC slot to cover 3rd opponent's striker, 'cause he had only DL on that side... Pulled AML to ML with all Ms having blue arrows, except AMR, so I did not play 4-2-2-2 Hex... He scored 2 goals from double corners, but, it's not the point how many goals I conceded, but how many goals he should concede with no players between my strikers and his goalie...
