3 at the back

Hi! I started this save with SL Benfica, mainly with the aim of developing the countless young people of value.
I defined two formations: 3x5x2 / 3x4x3. The results obtained were excellent.
But let's talk about the team's game idea:
3 players behind, wingers in width and depth and mobility of the men in front. In the 3x5x2 we put one midfielder in contention and two taking advantage of spaces in the back of the opposing midfielders. In 3x4x3, 2 midfielders with equal function who are the team's game builders. For that I was training in all the mediums the following favorite moves:
- Comes deep to get the bal;
- Dictates time;
- Tries killer balls often;
Below I put the two formations and the results. I await opinions.

I'm playing a somewhat similar shape. Any particular reason the back 3 are all on defend instead of cover/stopper?

Seems to work, so that's good.

How doest the double RPM play? Do they get in each other's way? Do you have enough midfield protection in the 3-4-3?
