Custom Team Football Formation

Starting Lineup

Playing a vertical game based on rapid transitions is the main goal of this lineup, which utilizes a 5-3-2 formation. This system aims to sit deep and then strike quickly once the ball is recovered. The team relies on a compact block to deny space between the lines before launching direct attacks toward the forwards.

BORGO operates as the last line of defense in goal. The defensive unit works as a back five with PAVON acting as the central anchor to organize the line. PIZZIO and AVALOS play as the wide centre-backs, providing cover and ability to win the second ball. SELING and FERRERO function as attacking wing backs, tasked with providing the width and pushing high up the pitch to support the attack. This defensive unit stays narrow to protect the central area and force the opposition wide.

The midfield consists of a three-man midfield with a carrier and an advanced playmaker. ZAUPA and TISOCCO sit in the central areas to shield the defense and recycle possession. FUCENCO works as an attacking ten behind the strikers, looking to find pockets of space between the lines. This group works to compress the midfield when out of possession and carries the ball forward to connect the back five with the front two.

Attacking with two forwards in a partnership, the team uses VILLORDO and GOMEZ to lead the line. VILLORDO and GOMEZ often work in combinations to pull defenders out of position. The wing backs, SELING and FERRERO, provide the necessary width to stretch the defense. When the team wins the ball, the forwards look to hit in behind on the transition, while the wing backs overlap the winger to deliver crosses into the box.

This formation offers great compactness when defending in a mid-block. The use of five defenders allows the team to remain solid and hard to break down. Another advantage is the speed of transition, as the team can quickly move from a low block to an attacking state using the wide runners and the advanced positioning of FUCENCO.

The 5-3-2 formation focuses on defensive stability and quick counter attacks. It is best suited for games against teams that dominate possession and leave space behind their high defensive line.
