DESCRIPTION:
- The 3-5-2 formation is an essentially central formation that relies on two wide players moving up and down the pitch to give width to the team.
- The attacking nature of the wingmen means that the defence is assisted by at least one of the three defensive midfielders in this formation.
- This is the standard version of the tactic, and instructs one of the central midfielders to play defensively in order to shield the back three whilst the other two move forward to support the attack.
WHO IT SUITS:
- Teams looking to play adventurous, attacking football.
- Squads containing a set of talented central defenders and a midfield containing players with strong attacking capabilities.
- Teams with wingers fast enough to support both midfield and attack.
NOT SUITED TO:
- Teams looking to play defensively.
- Teams with physically weak midfielders lacking the strength and speed to provide a strong shield for the reduced three-man defence when necessary.
- Teams without technically strong players suited to a positive style of play.
352 Attacking
- This is the attacking version of the tactic, allowing all but the centremost midfielder to move forward and support the attack whenever possible.
WHO IT SUITS:
- Teams looking to score a lot of goals and/or get back into games.
- Squads containing players of greater ability in attack than defence.
- Squads whose midfielders are fast and fit enough to burst into attack on regular occasions.
NOT SUITED TO:
- Teams looking to either play balanced or defensive football.
- Squads containing players of greater ability in defence than attack.
- Teams without technically strong players suited to a positive style of play.
352 Defensive
- This is the defensive version of the tactic, and instructs the two wingmen to play deeply when defending in order to give protection to the back three.
WHO IT SUITS:
- Teams looking to play attacking football but keep one eye on defensive solidity.
- Squads containing a set of talented central defenders and a midfield in which at least one player is defensively able.
- Teams with defensively aware wingers who are fast enough to support both defence and midfield.
NOT SUITED TO:
- Teams looking to play highly defensively.
- Teams with physically weak midfielders lacking the strength to provide a strong shield for the reduced three-man defence when necessary.
