Just plug & play.
Worked for top and mid-table teams.
Front 3 will score a lot.
TACTIC OVERVIEW
This system is built around a 3-2-5 shape in possession, designed to break opposition pressure, dominate the flanks, and create high-quality chances in the box.
- 3 (Rest Defense): Back three formed by the 2 BCBs + Holding Midfielder (HB) dropping between/alongside them to maintain stability and prevent counters.
- 2 (Connectors): The BBMs operate as dynamic links between defense and attack, supporting wide combinations and maintaining vertical compactness.
- 5 (Attacking Line): LB – AML – ST – AMR – RB, stretching the pitch, creating rotations, and offering multiple lanes to progress play.
HOW IT WORKS
- The build-up structure helps break opposition pressing lines and gives us passing triangles on both flanks.
- The BBMs, AML/AMR, and fullbacks/wing-backs create overloads and numerical superiority wide, forcing the opposition to make decisions.
- The team aims to work the ball into the box for high-percentage shooting opportunities rather than relying on low-value efforts.
- The Holding Midfielder remains as insurance, securing rest defense and greatly reducing exposure to counter-attacks.
ADDITIONAL NOTES
- No Opposition Instructions are applied to avoid unnecessary disruptions to the shape.
- The tactic naturally adapts to the match context, but manual tweaks can always be made depending on the opponent.
Make sure your;
- WBs are really good physically
- Left CB is left-footed
- AML is right-footed
- AMR is left-footed
