my ball possession suddenly dropped

I think it means this: look at the formation from a previous game. You will see red, yellow, and green circles to represent Strikers, Midfielders, Defense respectively. As long as you ALWAYS have at least 3 green(any combo of DC/DR/DL), 3 yellow(any combo of DML/DMC/DMR/ML/MC/MR/AML/AMC/AMR) and one red (ST), then you will NOT be penalized with 20% possession.

Also, you need at least one player on each wing, for a total of two players and they can be any player of any position. I think you can put a ST on a wing but he will be playing out of position. Can anyone confirm that playing an ST on the wing will only cause a position penalty and not a possession penalty?

When you lost your DC to a red card, you needed to substitute any player to bring on another Defenseman (DL/DC/DR).
