how to beat 5-3-2 and park the bus

[DamonAlbarn]

Don't play defensive because he's playing with a very defensive formation. You need the break the defence with attacking formation. 3n-1-4-2 might work. Focussing in all areas (mixed) with mixeed passing. Attacking mentality, also play offside trap. I put red arrows to all my players except for my central DC, i put blue on him. You don't need the DML/DMR as he doesn't have any wingers.

I've won twice against 5-3-2 with this tactics. 4-1,7-3. Hope it would work for you too.
