Feralpisalò focuses on a compact defensive block and direct vertical play through a 3-5-2. This formation is built to control the middle of the pitch and transition quickly from a mid-block into attack. The team aims to win the second ball in the center and use the wide players to stretch the opposition defense.

Bleve operates between the posts to command his area. The back line functions as a back three with Illanes sitting centrally to act as a ball playing defender. Imperiale plays as the left centre back and provides cover, while Zanon occupies the right centre back position to defend the space. The unit works together to hold the line and prevent runners from getting behind the defense.

The midfield relies on a three man midfield with a carrier and a holding presence. Capezzi acts as the single pivot to shield the defense and recycle possession. Giovane and Zuelli operate as the two central midfielders who drive forward with the ball and connect the defensive and attacking lines. On the flanks, Bouah and Cicconi act as wing backs to provide width and track back when the team loses possession.

Feralpisalò utilizes two forwards in a partnership to pressure the opposition back line. Finotto plays as the left striker and works to find the feet of the striker and link up play between the lines. Shpendi operates as the right striker to run in behind and attack the space. This front two forces the opposition to defend deeply, allowing the wing backs to overlap and deliver crosses into the box.

This lineup offers significant numerical superiority in midfield when the wing backs squeeze the space. The team can also use the width provided by Bouah and Cicconi to create wide overloads. By using the three central midfielders, Feralpisalò can effectively compress the midfield and win it back high up the pitch.

The 3-5-2 formation provides Feralpisalò with a robust way to defend the middle and attack with two strikers. It is best suited for matches against teams that play a wide game or leave space behind their midfield.
