Hi All.
I've been working on a tactic recently which many people don't seem to like using anymore but which I think can suit a lot of teams: The 3-5-2.
The whole of the set has one basic formation, which arrows being to only difference, which is:
3 DC's
2 DMC's (one with an Anchor Role, One more Box to Box)
2 Wingers
1 McA
2 ST.
The set is based on wwfan's excellent Tactical Deisgn and Management system topic and works, but is not explicitly based on his RoO mindset.
As it uses his mind set, the pack contains 5 different tactics for different situations:
Defend - Used against team's of higher ability than you who are expected to win
Counter - As above, but it can be slightly closer, or used late on in a game you are expected to lose to ry and score quick goals.
Possession - Used in more neutral games, to try and contain the ball, build it up towards to front and score goals that way.
Attack - Used in game you really should be winning and late on in games if you have been using possesion and are drawing and trying to get the late goal.
Control - Used agianst side of far less ability than you, who you should dominate. Can be used as a very last resort in a must win match when you are done 1 goal, but not recommended.
Here are the theories which I have followed with my tactics:

In the tactic, the box to box DMC is on the right.
Upfront the Right FC is more attacking and plays Free Role, where as the other FC holds up the ball and attempts to feed him instead. Hoever progressing up the attacking scale in tactics, They both eventually hold up the ball for the wingers as well as Free role.
