Union SG operates with a 3-5-2 formation that focuses on high pressing and quick transitions. This lineup is built to control the central areas of the pitch and use vertical passes to catch opponents out of position. The team aims to dominate the game by squeezing the space in the middle and forcing errors in the opposition half.

VIC acts as the last line of defense behind a back three. FEDDE, MASSIRÉ, and MAMADOU T. form the central defensive unit. FEDDE sits in the middle to organize the line, while MASSIRÉ and MAMADOU T. cover the wide channels. This defensive unit can step up to intercept passes or drop back to protect the space behind them. The three defenders work as a single block to maintain compactness when the team sits deep.

The midfield uses a combination of wide players and central operators to control the tempo. GUILLAUME and OUSSEYNOU act as wing backs to provide width, while ROB and BESFORT occupy the central roles to shield the defense. GUILHERME plays as an attacking ten to link the midfield to the attack. ROB and BESFORT focus on ball recovery and breaking the lines with forward runs, while GUILHERME looks to create chances in the final third.

In the attacking third, Union SG employs two forwards to stretch the opposition. MOHAMMED and RAUL work together as a strike duo to pressure the opposing center backs. They often move in tandem to create space for GUILHERME to run into. One forward might drop deep to hold up the ball, allowing the other to make a run behind the defense. The presence of GUILLAUME and OUSSEYNOU ensures that the attack can also be built through wide crosses.

This formation offers several tactical advantages for Union SG. The three central midfielders can create numerical superiority in the middle of the pitch to dominate possession. By using GUILLAUME in the hole, the team can isolate wide players in one on one situations when the wing backs push high. The ability to press high in coordinated waves makes it difficult for opponents to build play from the back.

This 3-5-2 formation is built for aggressive, high intensity football. It is best suited for matches against teams that play with a back four and struggle to track late runs from midfield.
