Win by forfait? Never seen this before!

I thought the game gave you 34yo players for free when you didn't have enough. Too bad because I could make more goals for a better goal difference.

This has happened to me on a couple of occasions. I got the points but as I was the stronger team both times I was looking to get much better goal difference

I lost a League title on Goal Difference because of one of these...

Can anyone advise whether a T11 match can start only if more than 11 players are eligible to play? I always think that 11 eligible players are sufficient for a match to start.

My league match today was cancelled because my opponent was said to be "do not arrive with 11 eligible players". In the following screen captured right after the match was cancelled, the opponent DMC should actually suspend if the match started. I expect the substitute would start in his place and expect that the match would still normally start because there are sufficient i.e. 11 players.



This is the first match of 2nd half season. In first match of this season, my team was (unluckily) defeated by this team. This team is then abandoned or forced to sell players because it was insolvent. It became weaker and weaker and lost in a lot of matches. When I finally have chance to revenge, the team did not have sufficient players showing up to play because 1 player is suspended.

In next day, it may have sufficient players to play again and will suffer big loss again.

I am sad that my original plan is having a big win today, giving yellow cards to some of his players to make them suspending, and then the next match will be cancelled. Now my team is the team losing the chance to have big win.

Well, this is the relevant rule from the FIFA rule book (Rule 3):

FIFA Laws of the Game 2015-16

Number of Players

A match is played by two teams, each consisting of not more than eleven players, one of whom is the goalkeeper. A match may not start if either team consists of fewer than seven players.

So Nordeus are not following FIFA rules here...

I also recall this rule while writing my previous reply here. I prefer T11 adopt this real football rule. Then more matches will still play as usual.
