saltshaker Posted July 9, 2014 Share Posted July 9, 2014 Guys, i noticed that most of Italy's team are using 3-5-2 as a base tactic? it is pretty solid tactic and hard to defeat.. what formation can counter this 3-5-2 effectively? Thks. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
paganizer Posted July 9, 2014 Share Posted July 9, 2014 Well if you look at history. 4-4-2 was countered by 3-5-2 which was countered by 4-3-3 which evolved into the popular 4-2-3-1 (atleast that is how I imagine it in my head ).I also like to use tactics that counter the number of strikers (one extra defender) and stay superior in midfield. I would say either a 4-1-2-2-1 (the DM handles the 2nd attacker and gives an extra man in midfield - wingers stretch back 3) or 5-4-1 (with attacking wingbacks for width and 4 central mids). One attacker because that means they "waste" a defender in a 3 man setup.. We get midfield superiority and create goals from there. That's how I do when I play..

delra Posted July 9, 2014 Share Posted July 9, 2014 I used 4-2-4 in my San Marino game against Juve, with two CWBs and two IFs coming down center, cross from deep, one-twos and play wider. Then switched to my own 3-5-2 after they lose a couple goals. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
