5-3-2

5-3-2 is mostly used for training defenders

It is generally seen as one of the weakest formations, as it is very difficult to achieve good ratings in midfield and attack whilst using this formation. But defending trainers will make use of this formation because it allows them to train 10 defenders in a week (2 matches with 5 defenders each). Because the defence ratings will be good, CA is a good option with 5-3-2, especially against teams that are equally strong or stronger. Here are some variations:

Formation A

WBD	CD	IM	WBD
E.CD	IMO	IMO	E.CD
FO		FO

Formation B

WBD	CD	CD	WBD
E.CD	IMO	IMO	WO
