No you can't play with 3 wingers in the midfield, it's not a valid formation, and you won't get training for that week. If you want more of your wingers to get some training but you can't play him at a winger spot, the best place to put him, is in a wingback spot, because I believe he gets 50% training at that spot.

Actually, there isn't any way to set a lineup with three wingers.

Well I just had a winger go down with an injury. Will his replacement get PM winger training for me? And does this mean I can get 11 players trained this week?

Replacement will get training if that is what you are training. And the injured will get it if he makes it to +1.

Question:
To change to a 3-5-2 I just need to make one of my defenders and extra IM.
Correct?

There is no low level BS Cup, it's basically just anyone that posts on BS that wants to get some friendlies without too much hassle and have something fun to play for. It just so happens that the only teams on hattrick on here that get knocked out early are division V and VI teams, except Mark, who just has sh!te for a reserve team and loses early every season.
Cups are organized by people that want to run them. For instance, the BS Cup is run by Helghallen and ur_land as the co-dictators, with me as the scheduler and website provider.
You can join a cup by watching the US forum on hattrick, that always has cup openings, I know that there is a cup called the Division V and VI cup, that is done for just teams in the divisions V and VI. Unfortunately, sign ups for the BS Cup are over, that cup starts this wednesday, but like I said, watch the US forum on hattrick for friendly cups. Especially at the end of the season, when the US usually does a country challenge when the US challenges another country and a bunch of teams sign up to play teams from that country around the same division as your team. I hope that helps.

I just noticed this at the HatXfiles page:
fanclub size - walkover in series/cupgame: -10% (for a WO in friendlies you will receive no training that week!)
Hello. What is considered a walk over to the point that it affects training?

Here is another question. In a few weeks I'll be playing a team that is running a 4-3-3. They seem to be destroying everyone. So far they are undefeated.
Any suggestions?

A walkover occurs when a team does not field a sufficient lineup to play the game. The opposing team wins by forfeit by a 5 - 0 score. Training, team spirit, and AFAIK experience proceed as if the game had actually been played.

If you field less than nine players.

VI.148.
Packmen is the team on top and are undefeated. I don't play them for a while. I have a more immediate concern of playing the Virginia Cannons. They seem to be scoring a basketfull of goals.

AND...This week I'm facing a team that has consistantly played a counterattacking 5-3-2. How do you usually approach a counterattcking team?

I got the same thing pretty much, the guy I play, plays a 5-3-2, or a 5-4-1 with CA. So basically what I was planning to do was go at him more with attack. I'm gonna try and break his defense with a 3-4-3, with 3 IM's and one winger. It probably won't go well for me though, my CD picked up his 3rd yellow of the season and has to sit the game out, so I could be in trouble.
Basically the counter attack works for the other team when you dominate midfield. If he dominates your midfield, he won't have countering options. Like I said though, I'm not gonna lose the midfield just to try and beat him that way, I'm gonna go with an all out attack pretty much and hope to just be able to break him down.

Stupid question. How many yellows does it take before a player is suspended? Can a guy with 2 yellows still play?
