Need advice against 3-5-2

[beatngu]

Hello Guys,

I need some advice. Today i had a CL match against a team playing 3-5-2:



I was playing 3-1-2-1-3 (red arrows on DL, DR, AMC)



My orders was:

Attacking
Through The Middle
Short
Counter-attacks: ON
Pressing: High
Tackling: Normal
Marking: Zonal
Offside: OFF

The match was away and i had +13% possession bonus but suprisingly (?) i lost 2-3! My team is much stronger than his (31.4 against 24.9). The second leg will be tomorrow. Can you please suggest me a useful tactic/orders/narrows against this formation? In the previous round there was no problem to beat a team similar like mine (30.7). I've read that 4-5-1 would be useful. Should i go ahead with that? Or simply enough to change my tactics?

Thanks in advance for suggestions.

Put blue arrow to DMC and don't take 3 strikers use 4 defenders instead.
Or you can take 4 defenders and 2 wings for balancing enemy wings as I showed below.
Its your choice what to do.

Hey friend, I wouldn't be too surprised you lost, the guy dominated the midfield with 5 players, I would suggest you go with 4-3MC-2wingers-1, with blue arrow on the middle MC and the 4 in backline, and red arrows on the rest, high pressure attacking mentality mixed pass down the flanks, counter and offside on, zonal marking

First of all many thanks for your suggestions Guys!

So the main thing should be to make my midfield stronger. What about these format?

-**-ST-**-ST-**-

-**-**-AMC-**-**-

-ML-**-CM-**-MR-

-**-**-**-**-**-

-DL-DC-**-DC-DR-

-**-**-GK-**-**-

Or:

-**-**-ST-**-**-

-AML-**-**-**-AMR-

-**-CM-CM-CM-**-

-**-**-**-**-**-

-DL-DC-**-DC-DR-

-**-**-GK-**-**-

Which one do you prefer? Or would be more useful against this guy? I will have to beat him!

Thanks again.

Forgot to mention that i've already have a very strong AML, AMR and MR. I also have a young ML who hasn't played any matches yet. But i can train him till tomorrow.

It is also fine as I posted but you can take

-**-ST-**-ST-**-

-**-**-AMC-**-**-

-ML-**-CM-**-MR-

-**-**-**-**-**-

-DL-DC-**-DC-DR-

-**-**-GK-**-**-

if you have nice aml,amr do this;

[Abhinavsharma]

You can take amr,aml,ml,mr all in one formation it will be wrong balance so better keep on changing these pairs if you like.

go with the second one 4-3-2AML/R-1, for nothing but to give yourself more options to attack, if you go with the first one you only will be attacking through the middle, but with wingers you will be attacking middle and flanks, this will open his defense wider

Thanks again Guys!

The only problem i don't have any DML/DMC/DML. So for now i would try this format:


-**-**-ST-**-**-

-AML-**-**-**-AMR-

-**-CM-CM-CM-**-

-**-**-**-**-**-

-DL-DC-**-DC-DR-

-**-**-GK-**-**-

Would it be enough for midfield? If you feel it'd work can you give me some tactics/arrows advice?
