So attacking midfielders dont count as midfielders. ok. does that mean that defensive midfielders dont count as midfielders as well? I would have to say yes based on your statement. but in Nordeus's eyes, you need 3 midfielders in total to prevent an illegal formation penalty but in this case, all midfielders, normal, attacking, and defensive, all count as midfielders.
All I am saying is that you could be a bit more specific in your statements because a 4-1-2-1-2 n.diamond has only 2 midfielders according to you and it beats a 4-4-2 classic which has 4 midfielders. So what gives????
I think a 3W-1-3W-0-3 would have created a much better scoreline in his favour. just move the midfielders back a bit. I dont see the need for so much attacking against such a lower quality team while you leave your backend exposed, no matter what quality the other team is.
neither attacking nor defensive midfielders are considered as midfielders in the eye of game engine,thats what i am saying,i always have 5 midfielders in one row ML 3mcs and MR i never get an illegal formation penalty or my possession goes below 60
1-2-1 formation has 2 midfielders and DMC&AMC are probably balancing each other,thats how i think
I disagree, and apparently so does the NGE.
The game engine requires at least 3 midfields of any type, attacking, defending or normal to prevent an illegal formation penalty. Therefore, all midfielders, attacking and defending included, are classified as midfielders for the purposes of the Nordeus Game Engine(NGE). There has been documented tests by members of this forum where they have tried numerous formations to test this and they concluded that even with one MC and 2 attacking AML/AMR, you can avoid the 80/20 penalty. This confirms that all midfielders, normal, attacking, and defending, are considered as midfielders for the purpose of the game engine.
I am sure someone will correct me if I am wrong, but I do believe that this is correct.
