How the 3-5-2 works
Three centre-backs provide a base for two wing-backs, three central midfielders and two forwards. Adjust the wing-backs to show how high you want to press.
Start from the goalkeeper, through defense and midfield, up to attack. Drag the markers to adjust width and the distance between each line.
What it gives you
Offers numbers in central midfield while keeping two forwards together.
What to watch
Wing-backs must cover long distances between attack and defence.
