FLEXIBLE FARKE TEST
Daily Express
|December 13, 2025
Leeds switched to a 5-3-2 during their narrow defeat by Manchester City, then successfully utilised the system to beat Chelsea 3-1.
DANIEL FARKE claims he always planned to change formation throughout the season and his recent switch was not an attempt to save his job.
Adopting a 3-5-2 formation worked in the second half against Manchester City, as well as in the win against Chelsea.
Question marks remain about Brentford’s attacking options.
