What are 'illegal' formations?

[neverforget99]

Just wondering on the terminology of this - I came back from a long break

[po_zdrach]

"illegal formation" was a term describing formation which have major weakness in some spot of the field. For example without attacker, less that two defenders, more than two players on the wings, etc. Now this haven't mean after formation haven't matter. Tactic hasn't mean in world of T11

The old rules:

Now basically, there are no penalizations for playing with -3 players in the DC line and so...
Red triangle, -2% possession bonus, Yellow -1% and when you reach an amount of (5?) players out position with triangles the possession is reduced to 20%.

There aren't 'illegal' formations anymore.
Only when you put another player as gk.
Then the game it gives you a 20%-80% b.p. and you cannot win - but maybe get a draw

In that recent contest, retro-Yogoslavia was playing with 2 DCs only for defense and you couldn't score
lol

It honestly shows you the state of the game, a manager game where the basic knowledge does not matter anymore.

I ever played without any single defender at all and used 3 DMF instead and won, it was against a stronger opo..
But i didnt use it at the start of the match (u will lose lots of possesion if u do it at the start) i used it when i was 2 nil down... I pushed all my player forward but without a striker (used amc instead), with normal mentality hard tackle.... Boommmm 2-4... 10 players in the midfield lol
