Let's discuss 5-3-2

[Derek Brown]

3n-3n-2w-2 - attacking, down both flanks, mixed passing, zonal, own half, hard tackling, no counter, yes offside, red arrows on AML/R and STs

I like this formation to counter the 5-3-2. I would change the marking from Zonal to M2M. If away, I'd also go to normal tackling.

I use 4-4-2 a couple of times and all end up losing team this formation is really frustrating :S

I'm going to try 3-4-1-2 next match against 5-3-2...wish me luck

I usually don't lose with the 4-4-2 formation, mby because i play normal game with mixed attacking sides, mixed passing, zonal chasing and all players have equal skill build (Attacking, Defending, Physical).

Yesterday I beat 532. Up to 60 min I play 4222 hex and I lost the goal. After that I change for 3142 with normal, mixed passing and mixed style passing. Also whole pitch pressing and hard tackling and couter attack. Red arrows on MR and ML and blue on DMC. I won 2:1. We have almost same level quality.

Just coz I have quite strong DMC. And 3142 is my basic tactic which I using every match. In this game I try change something and almost loose the game.

Anyone managed to beat this monster formation recently, its owning up my league in this season and last, i had mixed results using 3-4-1-2 and 3n-1-3w-1-2 actually exactly 2 wins 2 draws and 2 losses. Any ideas? I'm the best team in my league (lvl21) and i can put out right about any formation. Sofar i think i will again be using 3n-1-3w-1-2 normal/mixed/own/hard/zonal yes counter/no offside.

Any input appreciated!

In my short Topeleven career, there is only one formation that annoys me the most as I have a 0% win rate against this.

5-3-2

It's like a bane of my club's existence.

In Season 3, Level 3, this formation steamrolled the league with a 25-1-0 record, scoring over 100 goals. I met him twice that season and lost 4-1, 0-4, using 4-5-1 & 3-5-2.

This season, I was knocked out of the cup by this formation (Level 7 vs my Level 5 but similar squad strength). Despite dominating - having 70% possession in both legs, he still matched my total shots/on target, and scored 2 goals in each leg.

I was knocked out 4-1 on aggregate.

1st leg defensive 4-2-2-2 using ML, AMR, MC, AMC, lost 2-0, final possession 63% to me, but he created more chances (?)
2nd leg normal 3-4-1-2, lost 1-2, final possession 69% to me, matched my chances created (??)

Anyone else annoyed with this formation or had some success against it?

What about 3N-3N-2W-2? I'm always beating 5-3-2 with this formation. Even won CL final to a better opponent.
