Ok, let’s talk about a senario.
We have 2 teams (like the example) with one team 1star stronger (scout level) and the other 4-5*.
Assuming that other conditions are “standard”, like –the morale/condition of both players, no bonus or max bonus both …
Stronger team ‘ll have the real possession. If watching/not the match or tickets or friends , I believe it’s kind of “fake” possession.
I have the sense that real possession is coming from the Q of the Middlefield players (talking about classic formations 4-4-2, ND, 4-5-1).
The scout team is playing attack (not 3 STs), the 5* team is playing def (a kind of 4-5-1) /counter. The weak team hopping he’ll be lucky, his defense hold the opponent and in some counter he ‘ll score.
The other scenario is that the weak team if see that the other player has only 3 DC (or DR-DC-DL) put 3 ST and attack.
So, can we say that 3 ST is a counter against a stronger opponent with only 3 DCs ?
