Team composition ... only 3 players???!!

[Matthieu]

Hi all,

Just a little question, tomorrow i will have a champions league match.
Currently when i am looking the opponent's team composition i can only see 3 players on the field... why??

All other players are on status "reserve" .... do you know what does it means?

Thanks

Matthieu

The computer will pick the starting 11 for the team, if the manager doesn't show up.

If theres 11 players in the squad, the computer picks the team so theres still a game of football, if theres less than 11 at the club, the club short of players forfeits and you win 3-0, But there isnt a bonus involved.

From my experience, which I have a lot in this particular field.
You will face either, 4-3-3- or 3-4-3 with the 3MC's and the AML/ML.
That's as long as the game engine runs the show.

You should have no problem in putting away a team like that no matter what formation you choose.

Put a DMC on the bench in case he/game engine picks the AMC.
Make sure you start with 3 DC'S and DL/DR on the bench also.
If he does go 4-3-3 put red arrows on your MR & ML if you play five in the middle.
4-3-3 will attack you so don't get to carried away at the start, read the comments and see how and where his attacks are building from.
Then counter them if he's hitting long balls sit back. defensive, down both flanks, own half, tackling easy/normal, passing mixed zonal, no OS, force counter yes.
If you have a AMC play him instead of the centre MC he will be able to receive balls from your wide men and set up your strikers better.

I think this question has bothered me for many seasons. The point to the question is:
HOW DID HE "HIDE " THE PLAYERS IN THE SCREEN?
