Tactics 5212 AC Milan with SS (Shadow Striker)

[FCaligaris]

Hi all,

sorry for my bad English and the screenshot's Italian language.

Just want to share a cool tactic that gave me the Italian Championship and brought me to the EL final (that I lost 1-0 at 93' because of Maignan's mistake... shit happens, he is a great GK anyway).

Some tips for this tactic and about my season (21/22):

- Call back Yacine Adli from the loan. I love him and I wanted he became the star of the team. I taught him to play SS (Shadow Striker) and he is really good. 12 goals and 10 assists in the season. Loved him.

- Bought Dominic Calvert-Lewin to play TM (Target Man). Good effort, but Ibrahimovic and Giroud were not so bad despite age (10 goals CL, 13 Ibra, 10 Giroud).

- But the team star was Leao as AF (Advanced Forward) near to the TM: 28 goal on 44 games!

- I started to play Tonali as RPM (Roaming Playmaker), a role I think it's very close to the real Tonali, but in mid-season I changed to DLP (Deep-Lying Playmaker) because I needed someone closer to the defensemen when the new possession began. Before there were like a hole between the defensemen and him. 

- Kalulu can learn to be a great WB (Wing Back).

- After several attemps, I chose for NO final third instructions to leave my players free. If you want one, Early Crosses worked well.

I hope you can find my tactic fine!
