Focusing on high intensity pressing and rapid transitions defines this team and they operate within a 5-2-3 formation. This lineup is built to dominate territory by squeezing the pitch and catching opponents out of position. The plan revolves around winning the ball high up the pitch and using the wide areas to stretch the opposition defense.

Hinbarasan stays between the posts to command the area and organize the defensive line. The unit behind him works as a narrow defensive block with Varshan and Naresh acting as central defenders. Varshan sits deep to sweep behind a high line while Naresh covers the space. Pravin / plays as the right-sided central defender to provide stability. On the flanks, Jayavarman and Thavanish / act as attacking wing backs. They are expected to push high to provide width and overlap the wingers when the team has the ball.

The midfield operates with a double pivot to maintain control in the center of the pitch. Mugiilan and Zachary act as the two central midfielders responsible for connecting the defense to the attack. Zachary works to shield the defense and intercept passes, while Mugiilan looks to carry the ball forward to drive the team into the final third. They must work together to press in a mid-block and prevent the opponent from playing through the lines.

The attacking unit uses three players across the front to pin the last defender. Pravin Muthu / operates as a pressing centre-forward to harass the opposition center backs. Kkumarenthiran plays as an inverted winger on the right and will cut inside to find space in the half spaces. Kkumaran stays wide on the left to provide width and deliver crosses. This formation is designed to create runs in behind and allow the wing backs to join the attack for wide overloads.

One major advantage for this team is the ability to create wide overloads through the movement of Jayavarman and Thavanish /. This helps to stretch the defense and create gaps in the middle. The team also benefits from their ability to press high in coordinated waves, which can force a long ball from the opponent. This creates chances to win the second ball and restart the attack quickly.

This 5-2-3 formation provides a balance between defensive compactness and aggressive attacking numbers. It is a lineup best suited for facing teams that play with a high defensive line and struggle to track runners in transition.
