The aim of this project is to collaborate on some old and forgotten tactics/formations.
In this Specific Project 2-3-5, we'll be looking to collaborate on this:
The 2-3-5(1900)
View attachment 365909
This formation, also known as the Pyramid, or the classic formation, as it was used for 50 years after its invention, has only two defenders. Three midfielders and five forwards should be sufficient evidence to show that this is an attack-oriented formation. Attacking plays generally began from the center-half, who had usually two options: to pass to one of the five forwards or to dribble forward himself. The defence is manned solely by the defenders (naturally) and thewing-halves, the two outside midfielders, helped out by marking the opposing wingers.
The Danubian style, based loosely on the 2-3-5 and used successfully by the Austrian, Hungarian and Czechoslovakian national teams in the 1930s, was only different in one aspect. The passes used by the players were strictly kept on the ground, and no aerial passes were used.
Advice on the 2-3-5: This formation requires defenders that have good stamina, good sense of positioning, and good tackling skills, as they have to do the defending of the goal alone. The wing-halves should be able to run fast and pass well, and possess some amount of trickery, for they will have to outwit the opposition wingers.The centre-half should have a great control of the ball, superb sense of positioning and good passing. Wingers have to be creative, have a decent aptitude in dribbling down the flanks, and be able to beat defenders with ease, for they are the suppliers of the goals, and must beat the opposing wing-halves to do so. Great passing is another important asset for the winger, as he has to find the centre-forward in good positions to enable him to score. The centre-forward must be one man who is able to get the goals; people who can put the ball over the bar from two metres out need not apply. The centre-forward must also have a strong shot and good passing, so that in case he gets into trouble, he can pass it out to the wingers to try again.
So far:
I've put together the basis of a strong 2-3-5, I've gone unbeaten for 5 games with FC Porto with a rather weak squad.
I see it as an overstretched 3-5-2, and as such, that's how I've built it.
2x Ball Playing Defenders.
1x Ball Winning Midfielder.
4x Defensive Wingers.
2x Deep Lying Forwards.
1x Advanced Forward.

Here is the tactic:
I'm going to call this one v1.0, if you tweak it and return it, please call it v2.0, etc...

Updated v1.0 to 2.0, because I played Real Sociead and got smashed 7-4. I've tucked the 2 DWs into BWM with a DLP in between them. Also changed Control to Counter and dropped the defensive line and turned off the offside trap.
Also made the Deep Lying Forwards, Defensive Forwards, hopefully that'll work.
If you're testing it please get your Far right/left strikers to mark there full backs. lol.
