How does this ridiculous tactic work so well for this guy?

I read somewhere in the forum that the exact position of the players on the pitch does not matter, meaning this guy plays with 2 DC, 2 DMC, 2 MC, 2 AMC etc. with a few out-of-position (yellow warning) players. Although still a weird formation, it’s not illegal I think. And with that level of quality of players, 3-4 yellow warnings seems to cause no problems.

That's what they say. But that's BS, we can all agree to that.

Positions matters, don't be sold on everything you read on the forum. Placing the players close or wide on the same line doesn't matter but placing them forward or backwards does.

Just checked the video Tomu was talking about "Charlie diary's player positions.." and confirmed what I already knew, go check it out. DC's move like sweepers when you push them back, and as actual DC's when they are a bit forward. You will also see how Striker is different from a forward.

Check the video and clear your doubts.

That stupid formation has 1 sweeper DC, 1 defender DC, 1 defense minded DMC, 1 attack minded DMC, 1 defensive minded MC, 1 attack minded MC, 1 defense minded AMC, 1 attack minded AMC, 1 forward ST and 1 Striker ST.

It's a stupid formation even to me but that's what the AI engine sees.

This is what I thought initially. Because sometimes I see a 4 man back line that registers 2 in the back in the formation table when you tap "vs". I've assumed that this is determined by the outer backs, whether they're wingbacks or fullbacks. So I've assumed that the position actually matters and hence have positioned for example my DCs according to the opponent's STs depending on if they're forwards or strikers. Same goes with the false 9/second striker position at the wings.

I'll check the video, thank you.
