This team relies on a heavy defensive block and rapid vertical transitions within a 5-3-2 formation. The lineup focuses on staying compact to deny space in the middle before looking to hit the opponent on the break. By playing with three central defenders, the team aims to absorb pressure and use the width provided by wing backs to stretch the pitch.

نیازمند plays between the posts to organize the defensive unit. The back line consists of a central trio where Bakic-نورالهی acts as the main anchor to win the header and clear the lines. To his sides, کنعانی زادگان and ایری provide cover, with کنعانی زادگان acting as a right sided center back and ایری occupying the left. Alizhonov and محمدی operate as attacking wing backs, tasked with providing width and tracking back to form a five man line when the opponent has the ball. This defensive unit works together to hold the line and defend zonally against incoming threats.

The midfield functions as a three man midfield with a single pivot to protect the back three. Fayzullaev-حسین نژاد sits in front of the defense to shield the center and pick up runners before they reach the back line. Next to him, Urunov and Aiman work to connect the defensive and attacking lines. Urunov looks to carry the ball forward and drive into the half spaces, while Aiman works to recycle possession and find the feet of the strikers. This trio aims to compress the midfield and win the second ball to start quick transitions.

In the final third, the team utilizes two forwards in a partnership to stretch the opposition defense. علیپور and sergeev play as the primary attacking threat, looking to run in behind the defensive line. Aliপুর acts as a presence to hold up the ball, allowing sergeev to find space in the pockets. The wing backs, Alizhonov and محمدی, push high to provide crosses and create wide overloads. When the team wins the ball high up the pitch, the forwards press from the front to force a long ball and regain possession quickly.

One major advantage for this Custom Team is the ability to create wide overloads when the wing backs push up to overlap the midfield. The five man defensive block makes it very hard for opponents to play through the lines, forcing them to the flanks. Additionally, the formation allows for quick transitions where the team can bypass the midfield and hit in behind on the transition with great speed.

The Custom Team uses this 5-3-2 to remain defensively solid and strike through direct play. This formation is best suited for facing teams that dominate possession and leave space behind their high defensive line.
