How to beat 3 - 5 - 2 v ?

please help. opponent 3dc 1 dmc 2 mc 2 amr/l 2 st is playing. How would you suggest a tactic? Thank you in advance.

His weakness is his lack of any defense on the flanks, so the formation you should use is one that has an ML/AML and MR/AMR (both with red arrows). Red arrows on the DL and DR should help as well to support the flanks.

regarding defense, all that's necessary is a back 4 with a pair of blue arrowed MC's. A 4-4-2 classic or 4-2-2-2 hexagon should do the trick for countering him.

If you wish to opt for more defense, a 3-2w-2n-2w-1(butterfly) may work as well.

for mentality either:

normal/defensive, down the flanks, own half, hard tackling, mixed, zonal, no counter (unless playing defensive; I haven't tested force counter-attacks with normal mentality against quality competition), no offsides (unless using 3 defenders).

attacking, down the flanks, whole pitch, hard tackling, short, zonal, no counter, no offsides
