The 3-5-2 formation is incredibly distinctive and can be incredibly effective. But why?

I thought the wide midfielders would have to be the fit ones covering both defensively and offensively
If America could get their best athletes into football at a younger age the national team might actually have a shot at a world cup.
No formation is perfect!
Its up to the player to use its advantages
I'm currently playing Top Eleven in Mobile and I'm in Elite League Finals that's going to play in a few hours. My opponent is using this formation while my formation is 3-2-2-2-1. Good luck to me. 😅
And Bilardo won a World Cup using the 3-5-2 in 86
I’ve coached soccer for 20 years now in high school, club, college, and now USL1. The best quote I’ve heard from someone is “It’s not about X’s and O’s, it’s about Jimmy’s and Joe’s”. Meaning, if you don’t have the talent, the tactics won’t matter.
Alonso’s leverkusen used this formation beautifully last season. Pacey wingbacks are needed along with atleast one commanding defensive mid. Last year frimpong and grimaldo along with xhaka in centre was the main reason bayer won the league
First game of the season a team played 3 back and it's too easy to dribble past I scored a hattrick
343 is the best formation of all time
Then why did Poland not win the world cup
No one can play it only The Italians. Forza Italia.
It becomes a formation with pointless possession. Stuck at the back and can’t even get into the final third. 4-3-3 and 4-2-3-1 will destroy this 3-5-2.
a 3-5-2 is very effective when you play with a sweeper who comes across to close down the opposition winger and stands them up/clears the ball out of play to allow the rest of the team to reset into position. This is purely from a defensive perspective though.
Perfect for Sporting CP
424 is best
Hmmm
which app use for tactical board
3-2-3-2
Kyle Walker has to be amongst the most influential players if not the most influential player throughout City's dominance. His wicked pace activates the numercal advantage they can hold in the midfield. He is not a right back, he is a RCB with 99 pace
But can’t the left and right midfielder go deeper though
italian defenders are definitly key to this. You cant really put a normal cb in this formation
Didnt leverkursen use it during their invinceble season?
I won the MLS with it. Ask me anything.
If you play with two 6s and instruct one of them to drop into the back line in defense you now have a back 4 with less running for the wingbacks
My favorite formation when i played left back
4-5-1?
This tactic was used by Miroslav Ćiro Blažević for Croatia in wc 1998
simeone won la liga using this system is very good whern you have the right players
I think this should be the formation for England considering their lack of LBs, that way Saka can go and the left and be happy and TAA on the right, Foden and Palmer up front, and you've got enough room in the middle still for Rice, Gordon and Mainoo. My god we'd actually be an exciting team to watch
I love to play with Juventus, in PES 2013, with this formation. It is very effective.
Tactic of Italy
God I love Joe Devine
Any 3 CB formation is crazy
The only draw back Is the players must get their positioning right and win duels unless they’d concede a lot !
I feel like Gvardiol would be great in a 3-5-2
This has been the secret sauce of each of our five World Cup wins however, only our 1994 and 2002 squads played static wingers since our forwards were also static but the 1958, 1962 and 1970 played a quasi-Total Football with the forwards coming back to link play essentially creating a two-man overload out wide.
Bring back the 1960s 2-3-5 formation😂
Every tactic and formation had weakness… But if you had right player your tactic or formation becomes affective for win titles or cup…. Manager must had ideas for fixed it as good as posible…. But im like 433 and 4231….
Brazil won his last World Cup in 2002 with this formation
Van Gaal tried to impose his philosophy with United at the time with this formation. United just didnt have the capability to carry it out
Ever since Conte has played this at Tottenham, I am disgusted and traumatized by this formation.
Chiellini said. No issue with me 😂
We want more Joe!
Formations are so overrated
Just play a simple 442 with good characters who work hard and keep it simple
Football is a simple game no matter how many millions are in it
I think thats why Bastoni is so critical for inter. He fills out the left CB position extremely nice so that Gosens or Dimarco can go forward a lot while Dumfries on the right always stays a little behind.
Hopefully this goes well for Peru since we got a new coach, Fossati who will use this format but is not well know by Peruvians since Peru is good at 4-4-2
And right now. Leverkusen and Inter dominating their leagues
Never post again if u don't understand it yourself
Bad examples of this formation
the ivorian national team
this is what kids that only play fifa : 2 LM RM, 3 CM, 2 STRIKER😂😂 they don't know what wingback is
