[Official] Top Eleven Formation Changes

[Taliyah25]

Hi Managers,

In order to improve the playing experience, we've made some changes to the possibility to save or use certain unrealistic football formations.

The yellow “!” box indicating irregular formation arrangement has now been removed and all the irregular formations will fit under illegal formation indicated by a red “!” box . Any time a red “!” box appears on the left side of the screen, the formation cannot be saved or applied in Live Match and will need to be changed.

In case you had an irregular arrangement, your lineup has been adjusted to fit the legal formation requirements and all irregular formations saved in the squad setup have now been removed.

When setting up your formation please pay attention to the following rules and make sure to have:

• Exactly one player in GK position
• At least one and maximum 3 DCs
• Minimum 3 players in defence (DCs or DC + DL + DR)
• At least one player in central defending areas (DC, DMC)
• At least one player that is playing defensively in the middle (DMC or MC)
• Minimum 2 players in the middle (DMC, MC, AMC, ML, MR, AMR, AML)
• Maximum 3 players in MC and ST roles
• Maximum 2 players in DMC and AMC roles
• Maximum one player on all side roles (DL, ML, AML, DR, MR, AMR)
• At least one player in central midfield roles (DMC, MC, AMC)
• Balanced flanks (Number of players in roles DL, ML, AML and number of players in roles DR, MR, AMR)
• At least one player that is playing offensively in the middle (MC, AMC)
• At least one player in attacking areas (AML, AMC, AMR, ST)
• At least one player in attack (AMC, ST)
• At least one player on each side (one in DL, ML, AML, and one in DR, MR, AMR)

Check out your starting lineup in the Squad section to make sure your team is ready for the next match.

Best of luck in the upcoming fixtures!

The rule At least one player in central midfield roles (DMC, MC, AMC) is obsolete, since rules:
At least one player that is playing defensively in the middle (DMC or MC)
OR
At least one player that is playing offensively in the middle (MC, AMC) may apply.

Also the rule At least one player in attacking areas (AML, AMC, AMR, ST) is also obsolete because of the rule:
At least one player in attack (AMC, ST)
When the latter (blue color) satisfied, it also satisfies the first one (red color), making it obsolete.
If you have 1 AMC or 1 ST, then you also have at least one AML, AMC, AMR, ST.
But if you have 1 AML but no AMC, AMR, ST first rule is satisfied, but second is not.

So what? This could be one of the most useless explanation in forum history.

So what? This could be one of the most useless explanation in forum history.

More rules add more complexity to managers.
So rules who are obsolete, in other words useless, should be omitted.
Things should be easier and more clear to users/managers when this is possible.

In addition, take this one:
Minimum 3 players in defence (DCs or DC + DL + DR)

It is not written clearly. The DC + DL + DR forces some managers to think that they shall use (besides 3 DCs) 1 DL, 1 DC and 1 DR as an alternative; they tend to believe that formation is legal only when you have either 3 DCs (DC - DC - DC) or 3 wide defenders (DL - DC - DR).
But you can have e.g. 2 DCs and 1 DR, that is (DC-DC-DR). This is okay.
Rule could have been: Minimum 3 players in defense (DC or DL or DR). Other rule prevents from having 2 DLs or 2 DRs, so in a simple manner manager knows that he is allowed to use the following: DL/DC/DR - DL/DC/DC - DC/DC/DC - DC/DC/DR as a minimum of course.

What is your point about keep going on about the "rule"? Come on, we are not in primary anymore.
