3-5-2 Formation for 11 vs. 11 Soccer Games

This diagram shows the formation of the 3-5-2 to be used in 11 vs. 11 soccer games. The pros and cons of this formation include:

Pros

  • Excellent formation for creating options to attack opponent’s goal if #7 and #11 get forward into attack.
  • Good stability on the attacking and defensive side of the ball in the midfield.
  • Center-midfields have multiple options to penetrate opponents back line (#7, #11, #9, #10).

Cons

  • Three in the backline make your team susceptible to being beaten on the outside of the field.
  • #7 and #11 need to be fast in getting forward into the attack, and getting back to help defend. If your #7 and #11 are not hard workers, you will get beat on the outside of the field.

3-5-2 formation

ON A 3-5-2 FORMATION,YES THE 7-11 HAVE TO GET BACK TO DEFEND,OR ON A DEFENSIVE TRANSITION THE 6 HAS TO DROP IN AS A CENTER BACK AND THE OUTSIDE CENTER BACK COVERS THE OUTSIDE CHANNEL. ON OFFENSE,HOW YOU BEAT TEAMS IS THAT BOTH THE 7 AND THE 11 ATTACK AT THE SAME TIME. YOU ALSO HAVE TO MAKE A DECISION ON WHCIH PLAYERS THE TWO FWDS ARE GOING TO PRESSURE ON THE OPP BUILD PLAY,TO LET THE 7 AND 11 KNOW WHEN TO BREAK LINES. THROW IN ON YOUR SIDE OF THE FIELD THE OUTSIDE CENTER BACK THROWS THE BALL IN,HIGHER UP THE FIELD THE 7 AND 11 THROW THE BALL IN.
