EA FC 25: The best formation for Milano FC (AC Milan)
The classic 4-2-3-1 Wide formation appears to be the best fit for the Italian side Milano FC (AC Milan). Through this formation, Milano players will be more active in the wings and will be able to properly utilize high Pace-rated footballers like Rafael Leao, Theo Hernandez, and Davide Calabria. Both Christian Pulisic and Rafael Leao will act as the inverted wingers to breeze past defenders and swing inside the penalty area for more opportunities.
Alvaro Morata and Loftus-Cheek will be the proper supports to both these inverted wingers as both the Number 9 and CAM will drop back in the defense and will help these wingers build up a solid counter-attack on the field. On the flip side, two defensive midfielders Ismael Bennacer and Tijjani Reijnders usually stay in the back for additional support in the defense.
Meanwhile, Theo Hernandez and Davide Calabria are the full-backs. These two left and right backs can join Pulisic and Leao in the attacking buildups while Fikayo Tomori and Malick Thiaw are the best CB choices from the Italian squad. Lastly, Mike Maignan, one of the current meta choices in the EA FC 25 Ultimate team, will remain as the last man of defense.

EA FC 25: The best custom tactics for Milano FC (AC Milan)
The newly introduced FC IQ system allows you to change players’ roles and set them according to your playstyle. This brand-new customization feature has been fruitful for everyone so far. You can always experiment with the role and create new tactics to beat your opponent. However, it’s recommended to use the following custom tactics to best utilize Milano FC (AC Milan):
Firstly both the Build-up Style and Defensive Approach should be set to Balanced. This will allow players to focus on their assigned role rather than an aggressive and defensive approach. While a defensive approach might create fewer chances than usual, an aggressive approach might create a void in the midfield and opponents might dominate the area.
Starting with our Spanish star Alvaro Morata, with his focus set on Build-up in the False 9 role. Doing so will let him fall back in the defense to build up and attract the opponent’s defender to his side, creating spaces for Leao and Pulisic. Loftus-cheek’s focus should be set to Roaming in the Playermaker+ role. This will allow him to build up certain attacks as a box midfielder.

Since the left side is compact with two of the fastest players in EA FC 25, both Leao and Hernandez should be set to Balanced. In such a format, Leao’s playstyle should be Inside Forward+ while Hernandez will possess an Attacking Wingback. Meanwhile, Christian Pulisic should play Inside Forward+, similar to Leao, and the right-back Davide Calabria’s focus will be balanced with an Attacking Wingback approach.
Both CDM Bennacer and Reijnders will take on the role of Centre Half, with their focus set to Defend. On the other hand, Thiaw and Tomori both focus on a Balanced approach with the Defender+ role. Lastly, Maignan’s focus will be to Defend.
