Focusing on quick transitions and defensive stability, this lineup utilizes a 5-2-3 formation. The team aims to sit deep and absorb pressure before hitting opponents on the break. This selection is built to soak up attacks and use the width of the pitch to stretch tired defenses.

Korobko stays between the posts to organize the back line. The defensive unit works as a back three with G. Durdyýew acting as the central anchor to clear the lines. Dzagoev operates as the right centre-back to cover the channel, while B. Durdyýew plays as the left centre-back. To provide width, Kurbanmämmedow acts as an attacking wing back on the right and Goçgulyýew operates as an attacking wing back on the left. These wide defenders must track back to form a five man line when the team defends in a low block.

The midfield relies on a double pivot to control the center of the pitch. Berdiýew and Broşin work together to protect the center of the formation. Berdiýew focuses on shielding the defense and breaking up play, while Broşin looks to carry the ball forward and connect the defensive line to the attack. This pair must press in a mid-block to prevent the opposition from playing through the lines. They are responsible for winning the second ball and recycling possession to the wing backs.

An aggressive front three leads the attack through wide presence and central movement. R. Muhadow plays as an inverted winger on the left to cut inside and create chances, while Mingazow stays wide on the right to stretch the defense. Ç. Muhadow acts as a lone striker to lead the press from the front. This forward line looks to hit in behind on the transition, using the space left by advanced opponents. The goal is to create runs in behind or deliver crosses from the wing backs for the striker to attack the far post.

The main tactical advantage of this 5-2-3 formation is the defensive compactness when sitting deep. By having three central defenders and two holding midfielders, the team makes it very difficult to play through the middle. Another strength is the ability to create wide overloads when Kurbanmämmedow and Goçgulyýew push up to join the wingers. This forces the opposition to defend large areas of the pitch.

This formation provides a solid base for teams that want to defend deep and counter at pace. It is best suited for facing opponents that dominate possession and leave space behind their high defensive line.
