3-5-2

[filthydani]

Hello,
i cant seem to beat my friend with that formation, he plays as italy, and he is a great tactic player, all I need is a good tactics to destroy 3-5-2 defensive (2 DH) formation, any good tactic player here plz help me and post it here..

Think about it.

If you are a pretty good player yourself you need to examine the shortcomings of the 3-5-2 system and exploit them. 3-5-2 offers obvious benefits such as good width and coverage in midfield and makes it difficult to play through passes as the gaps are smaller than you would have with a typical 4 man midfield.

The best way to overcome this is with balls over the top to your forwards as they will only be facing 3 men at the back rather than four. These three men can be split with through balls by your two forwards to each other.

One thing you need to be careful of is quick counter attacks because a fast passing game with 5 in midfield will kill you. I would pressure his midfield fast rather than sitting back becasue that allows him more time to make decisions. IF you pressure him fast every time he gets the ball, especially from a direction which cuts out a pass to his closest supporting player then you may be able to force him to give you possession.

I'd choose a team to play with who has fast forwards to exploit the weak back line. I'd also try and draw him into fouls in the midfield by dribbling around unneccesarily. If you can get a player of his sent off then you'll be laughing as he'll have to revert back to four men at the back otherwise through balls will kill him off.

Let me know how it goes. You needed to say more about what kind of attack he likes to use really, whether he's really quick or likes slow build ups.

he likes center attacks, he is depending on totti like 70%, he likes to dribble alot in the middle, and he is sooo fast..

Midfield pressure

I'd block the middle and force him to play it outside so he'll either have to draw Totti out wider than he'd like to or distribute it to another player. Choose a formation where the two center backs and center midfield players are pretty close together so he will struggle to get through the center and be more reliant on crosses. It's not very easy building up quick attacks when the center from midfield to the defense is blocked.

The other tactic if he likes using Totti is to use various players to put in hard tackles on him. Not from behind cos you'll get a card virtually every time and possibly get a red card. If you can injur him you may improve your odds.

Failing all this adopt the same formation or play 4-5-1 so you are covered back in defense to cope with his fast breaks and spread thickly in midfield. You will have to rely on fast breaks or over the top balls yourself to exploit his defense though if you only have one player up front.

you know my team is france and i depend on HENRY like 90% raely this man is the best striker in the game..i score at least a gole with him in evry game i play what a player

Well, I'd try a 3-4-3 with a team with good defenders and two quick wings..

Or just try a 3-5-2 with the Netherlands, as I can remember, they have good defenders, quick sidehalfs, two good defensive midifelders and 4 superb forwards from which you can choose 2 or three..

-------------------------------Numan
--------Stam--------Davids----------------------vanNistelroy
GK-----DeBoer-----------------vanHoijdonk
--------CB3---------Seedorf----------------------Kluivert
-----------------------------Overmars

You could try this one, dont forget to alternate your attacks..

3-5-2 has a real disadvantage - the wings

you should get to the baseline and drive in for the box and just pass to your forwards with X (not O) that will destroy the backline...
when I play like that against 3-4-3 arjantine (against my friend) he always gets defeated...

I think you should select england and play the original 4-4-2... owen is unstoppable against 3 defenders
