A back four, then what?
A back four is close to a rule at Milanello, so the real choice is in midfield: a double pivot with a number ten, or a flat three with two high wingers. The 4-2-3-1 protects the centre-backs and gives the ten a fixed position; the 4-3-3 adds a man in the middle and keeps the wingers permanently wide.
Try the same squad in both and watch where the most technical midfielder ends up: number ten in the first, box-to-box in the second. The rest of the team falls into place from there.
Three formations to try
- 4-2-3-1 a double pivot and a number ten behind the striker, the shape of Milan's most recent title.
- 4-3-3 three wide attackers and a midfield three, for squads with quick wingers.
- 4-3-1-2 Ancelotti's diamond, with a deep playmaker, a ten and two strikers.

What formation should I use for AC Milan?
