Subject: tactic

Does anyone have any ideas on how to counter atack a 5-2-3 tactic ?, i was thinking of a 4-(1-2)-3 . Any suggestions ?

its not really bout the numbers in my opinion, more of:
-where the players are positioned (if opponents def is tight, use the flanks more, if spread out, centralize your attack)
-what kind of players the opponent have (fast vs slow, high tech vs low tech and so on..)
-where his best players are positioned
-where your best players are positioned

stamina of your team, dont want them to run 100 yeards up and down for a full 90 if stamina is weak

these are just a couple of factors, there are many more, but I will let you figure out others by your own :)

like i said, thats MY opinion :)

assuming they're giving up the midfield fully, i'd push offensively and bring 9 players into their offensive zone. Just keep on the pressure.

I don't know your wingers, but you'd want to spread it wide if you could with attacking, to create some space.
