3-5-2 flat

[Patrick Muijderman]

So, after answering other threads and trying to help others now its my turn to request some insights.

I am facing a 3-5-2 flat formation on a team 5-6 in quality better than me.
I was gonna go for a defensive 4-5-1V formation (DMC, DL and DR red-arrow-motivated) and hard tackling, but I am really not sure this will help me.

On the tables the 3-2-2-2-1 butterfly and 4-3-2W-1 are the best suited formations against a 3-5-2. But only if the teams are equal!

What I need is a formation that will help me own the midfield. Butterfly is a good example as it has 6 midfield players.

Also the 3-1-2-3W-1 sounds promising, wich is an adapted 4-5-1V focusing on the center mid field with 2 wingers. But with this one I am not sure what tacticsto use. The thing is, when my opponent is gonna red-arrow-motivate his ML and MR I have no answer to it because I do not have any wing backs or defense mid wingers.

3-1-2-3W-1:

--------ST-------
AML---AMC---AMR
----MC----MC----
-------DMC-------
----DC-DC-DC----

Any thoughts?

I dont have experience against 3-5-2. But maybe in your formation you have a flank in your defence. Instead of 3dc I would play with dl dc and dr
