3N or 3W? Should be okay, but I would put counter attack on, and if your players are in good condition you may want to consider hard tackling.

[Chair City FC]

Was thinking 3W. CA is on..

[John Naish]

Yeah - sorry I didn't see that you'd said that. Only thing with 3W is that he has 2 strikers, so 3N might be preferable. But then again with 3W-5-2 V style you have a DMC, so I don't really think you need to worry about that too much. Plus with 3W you cover the flanks as well, not that he has any wingers in midfield/attacking midfield.

[RJSlow]

3w will also help in your flank attack. But your orders look good. Good luck!

Try focus mixed passing, because you should utilize your DMC and both MC's. and sometimes a long ball could not hurt, when you force a counter. For more detailed info on how to play a 352 V vs the diamond inbox me.
