THIS TACTIC IS BASED ON A MIXTURE OF SACCHI'S MILAN AND CAPPELO'S- HENCE THE DIAMOND AND THE HOLDING MID :)- AND THE VIDEO!

“Arrigo Saachi revolutionised football by introducing the pressing game, in so doing he oversaw the most successful era of Italian football in Europe. This was continued by his successor Fabio Capello when he moved on to the national team. The team contained the most impressive defence probably ever assembled, a hard-working midfield and flair players up front. The first team was raised to greatness by the trio of Dutchmen that had won the 1988 European Championships. By 1994 the team had changed in part, with other high profile signings replacing the original star players but with largely the same defensive foundation. They surpised critics by beating a brilliant Barcelona team 4-0 in the 1994 Final. Maldini would go on to play another 15 years at the club and become a Milan legend.”

Under Fabio Cappelo the same team went 50+ games unbeaten in Serie A.
The tactic is a diamond

The tactic is pretty aggressive, I seem to get a lot of red cards with it and injure a lot of the opposite side, so if you don’t like that maybe put the tackling more cautious.

As shown in the screenshots plenty of CCC's, 6 against Milan even though i didnt win, and a good defence.

Even works well with lower level teams in top league- Paris FC predicted 20th, semi pro when i started with them and won two cups and finished 9th

Please tell me, how the tactic is . I'll post a screenshot of the tactic tomorrow, and I'll do further testing with stoke, I reckon it will be great with them. Seems pretty good with the smaller teams which is always great :)

Erm the second Video is Capellos Milana nd they were very different actually, both tactically and personel. Glad I'm one of the few people that watched them it seems xD

I know mate :) But- I thought I'd put it up anyway since they beat the dream team 4-0, and in the OP i do mention Cappelo's Milan ;)
 
This being a recreation of Sacchi's Milan, diamond isn't actually the way they played. Arrigo's team definitely played a flat(ish) 4-4-2. :p

PS. Just ignore this, if you're looking to create your own take on Sacchi's Milan, rather than strictly copying it. |)

To both of you- not strictly trying to copy it guys! :)- Just wanted to make a diamond- thought it'd work better.

In the beginning it started out bad but after a few games the results is very good :D Match preparation? Pitch Size?

As to be expected with any new tactic i guess :) I use no opp instructions so its plug and play. And you decide on the pitch size- maybe somewhere in the middle? Glad its working for you after a while man!

Hmm... Thats a good question since I've never played as AC Milan but i'll give it a go- I think Pato is probbably my faviroute poacher in FM, so i'd put him there. Ibra as a target man- unless his work rate and team work is awful? Cassano or seadorf in the adv PM position? Van Bommel in def mid maybe? Can't think of the rest of their midfield... I don't know where I'd put robinho, prob on the bench. Sorry mate if you'd said Juventus I would be able to help you more.

Thats alright man :D This is how my starting eleven looks like. I sold all the old guys. Does it fit with your positions ? Zlatan has poor work rate and team work but he does seem to score sometimes :D

Abbiati
Abate Silva Nesta Taiwo

Yann Mvila

Boateng Flamini

Ganso
Ibra Pato
