No you're not wrong, and there is a lot of information to be found in the forums (especially the FAQ), but imagine this scenario: I'm leading my league, by 2 points, I play 2nd place next week. Someone on the forum asks for a good formation. I post my formation and my strategy. My opponent sees this, sets up friendlies with a few friends and has them play the formation, 2nd place then crushes me and I fall to 2nd.

Now what often happens is groups of friends form within Private Leagues and they send messages back and forth about tactics and they grow as a group, but this is never done publicly.

I suppose the whole thing could have gone one of two ways with this game, the way it is now, or a community where everyone shares their formations. If it was the latter, we'd be dealing with a formation "meta" where everyone was playing a certain formation or a counter formation for that formation. Eventually leading to games that looked nothing like football, and more like chess, with CF's defending and RB's scoring goals. I'm sure that could have been fun, but the game went the other way.
