Hi all,
I've just had my first round cup matches and lost. Not going to whine about that, though I was 1 star stronger on average in the starting 11 than the other guy. Shit happens!
But what puzzled me was his weird formation.
Attachment 39854
In the last 17 seasons I've learned that, illegal formations give you 20% possession. At most.
But he had 42% in each of the 2 legs.
To me, his fomation looks very illegal. What the f*** has happened here?
Anyone have an explanation?
Cheers.
They removed illegal formations from the game
I had a guy in my League with that formation (it's not a team called Barsenal is it?)
Anyway a few seasons ago (I think it was around the time they introduced associated positions/different color exclamation points) that illegal formations seemed to disappear. If a GK is on the field instead of goal there is still 80/20 but it seems with other weird formations it is only a percentage drop per guy out of position... and since there isn't anyone out of position in that formation it doesn't get much penalty. And I think they now count DM as defence rather than forward, because I only got 60/40 against that formation you show.
there isn't no more this "rule" (80-20).
Usually you have about 60-70 % and the best you can do is to find a counter formation, like in your case a 5-4-1, def/ counter through flanks .
Well, that explains. Starting this season?
Should have beaten him, anyway. Really weird tie. Should do better in the other two competitions then ;)
I beat that formation with 4 2 1MC 2W 1 but only by 2-1, was even Q to mine. I was expecting a better result with them having such scant defense.
My thoughts exactly. Lost 5-1 on aggregate with higher Q.Quote:
