5-3-2 formation

[PeleProdigy9]

Couple of questions about the 5-3-2 formation:
1. Is this formation workable offensively?
2. Can you play it the entire game (vs human opponents) without players tiring to badly?

Thanks for any replies.

1. Sure, depending on how you set it up. 5-1-2-2 with attacking full-backs is quite attacking.
2. Yep. Depends on how much you make the players sprint around.

usually i'll use 532 if im a goal down cos my team is built more on speed, so rapid counter attacks can help pull me back up.

if i play 5-3-2 i'll play the midfield with 2 side midfielders and 1 AMF.

i find that 5-3-2 is also quite useful against 4-3-3 teams especially when their WFs try to wreck havoc on my defence. :happy:

I've had a go with a 5-1-1-3 with a sweeper and it seems to work well against the CPU. Will try it against people when I can.
