How to beat 5-3-2 formation...??

[shwanko07]

Preferably, using an AMC would have helped more... also no need for 3 MCs. 2 is enough here

his players were scouts upfront with 54 QT while my players are 18 yo who were PT and just reached 50-51 QT.. and couldn't risk putting one AMC upfront , i wanted my CM to track back and help defending too .. and bcz i decided to focus my attack in central axis .. i thought my CMs will join the attack more too .. beside my AMC is not a 6* , and i wanted to play an option that use my best 11 players .. and tbh my CMs helped alot defending many times as last defender

problem is he is a tricky guy who change formations just before the match in the last minutes .. so had to start in a more conservative way as i was not sure what he will be putting , he initially put 451 , but i suspected it is a fake one and he did changed it 6 min before the match start, but i refreshed and had only time to make 2 changes before game stop me doing so 3 min before the match

well i trusted this advice so much and here is my result:
i just got trashed holding 15% possession bonus against an unwatched team.
just think twice using 3-4-1-2 vs 5-3-2

Well I found this "ancient" thread too and let me add my two cents..

I played against a slightly weaker 5-3n-2 team last week and used 3n-4-1-2 and got punished losing 3-1

I thought to my self maybe I should have went with 4-4-2

Well Today I'm facing a 5-3w-2 (also slightly weaker) team and I'm not going with 4-4-2. Reason? Last night my main rival who has a stronger team than mine lost to this guy while using 4-4-2. If it didn't work for him it won't work for me.

Now I'm not sure what to use. But certainly none of those recommended ones in the counter table.
