nevercora Posted January 19 Share Posted January 19 I want to make fluid counter-attack 523 wide work but i can't seem to grasps what should be two man midfield to function in this tactic.Does the ball run it down the wings or in the center,narrow or widd?How does the midfield should be in this?

ceefax the cat Posted January 19 Share Posted January 19 They generally shouldn't be getting too far forward unless there's an IWB or something to add cover in the middle. The obvious shape to build up into would be 3-2-5, or 2-3-5 with a libero, so a DLP and a ballwinner would probably be the orthodox choice. When playing against a 4-4-2 I play 5-2-3 with an CM(s) and an AP(s), but the advanced playmaker is instructed to man-mark their deepest centre mid. the CM(s) is told to hold position, and marks the other one.

nevercora Posted January 20 Author Share Posted January 20 At least one midfield need to hold position so we don't get overwhelmed by opposition midfield team.What if we have both midfields to hold position?Does it worse? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

You don't want to use a Mez in a two man midfield. If you want a forward runner from a midfield two I would recommend the SV. Also consider a BWM(d), a classic partnership for the DLP(s).

Fine - you'll build up into a 3-2-5 shape. Might be a little predictable but ultimately comes down to the quality of your front 5. Use a libero or WCB to make it a 2-3-5 or 2-2-6 and add a bit of fluidity if you like. Edited January 21 by ceefax the cat 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
