Is this formation viable? 3-2-2-1-2

____ST_____ST____
_______AMC_______
____MC_____MC____
DML___________DMR
____DC_DC_DC_____

I can't find much about it on these forums so here is my reasoning:

- I want 2 ST. I tried with less and I am just an attacking kind of guy.
- I want a shadow striker. It's just too awesome when they bomb the goal from 30 metres.
- It's "cheap" on substitutes with 7 players on 3 different position.
- DML and DMR are often cheap because few people use them.
- Blue arrows on DMs when facing AMR/Ls.

For orders I am thinking attacking/middle/own half/normal/short/zonal without counter or offside trap.


Any input?

I tried this tactic many times before, and i realise that use 1 tactic for all matches is bad. This tactic is not strong enough to win another strong midfielder tactics, such as 4-1-3n-2, 3n-1-4-2, 4-1-4-1, 3n-5-2, 4-1-2-1-2 Narrow Diamond...You'll lose possession and make least shots. Especially, when you lost from some corner kicks or free kicks, it's too hard too find goals against them.

I played that formation against 4-5-1V a couple of days ago against the team the did the double over me last season and won the Championship because of that... won 5-2 away...

4-5-1V is a popular formation so it's good to know it can be used against that.

I am going to give it a trial by fire tonight against one of the formations you mentioned: 3N-5-2. It's a home game against a weaker opponent so it should be an easy win.

Used this formation this evening against a 3N-1-4-1-1 (Cross?) formation. Was a struggle all way through but as the opposition players were performing poorly (one 4 and three 5s), eventually got through 3-0.
