Here is footage from last weeks tactics at the Pro Youth Experience. Players were taught how to play a 3-5-2 formation after analysing Chile, who played in this years World Cup. The back three was made up of two ball playing midfielders, and when the opportunity would arise, the ball would be played into strikers feet. This opportunity was being created by the wing backs going really high up the pitch, and allowing the centre midfielders to drop in to the wide areas. This would pull out the opposing centre midfielder and create a good passing lane for the ball to travel. The players played this formation in two games and analysed each game after to get an even better understanding.
