Custom Team Football Formation

Starting Lineup

A high press and rapid verticality define this lineup using a 3-5-2. The team looks to win the ball high up the pitch and use the numbers in the middle to break lines quickly. This formation is built to dominate the central areas and use the width of the wingers to stretch the opposition.

Youssef plays between the posts to command the area. The defensive unit works as a back three with Sebas acting as the left centre-back to cover the space behind the winger. Pablo holds the center of the line while Milli plays as the right centre-back to secure the flank. This trio defends zonally to keep the unit compact and prevent through balls.

The midfield is a dense block designed to control the tempo. Gorka plays as an attacking ten behind the two strikers to connect the lines. Ibon and Unai operate as a double pivot to shield the defence and win the second ball. To provide width, Zuga and Markel act as wide midfielders who can push up to support the attack or track back to defend. Gorka looks to find space between the lines to create chances.

The attack relies on a two-man partnership of Ramón and Juanpa. Ramón and Juanpa operate as a front two that presses the opposition back line to force a long ball. They use quick combinations to move past the defenders. Zuga and Markel provide the width, allowing the strikers to stay central and look for runs in behind. When the team transitions, the wingers and the attacking ten work to create overloads in the final third.

This formation offers several tactical advantages. The double pivot of Ibon and Unai allows the team to maintain control in the center. Having Zuga and Markel on the flanks creates wide overloads when they push forward. The setup also provides the ability to press high in coordinated waves, making it difficult for opponents to play out from the back.

This 3-5-2 is a high intensity lineup focused on central dominance and quick transitions. It is best suited for games against teams that struggle to handle a heavy press in the middle of the pitch.
