John Smith Posted October 27, 2009 Share Posted October 27, 2009 Player profile Continues the tradition of Brazilians to play for AC Milan, he joins the likes of current manager Leonardo, Kaká, Cafu. Undoubtedly the new star of the team following the departure of Kaká. Facts: Pato (full name Alexandre Rodrigues da Silva) is a Brazilian forward playing for AC Milan. The nickname ‘Pato’ is in honour of his place of birth. Pato finished the 2008/09 season as Milan's top goalscorer with 18 goals. With Brazil, he beat Pelé's record of scoring a goal within seconds of his full international debut. Honours: Recopa Sudamericana - 2007 FIFA Club World Cup - 2006 FIFA Confederations Cup - 2009 South American Youth Championship - 2007 South American U-20 Championship Brazilian U-20 Championships Top-Scorer - 2006 Brazilian U-20 Championships Most Valuable Player - 2006 .

rougess Posted November 3, 2009 Share Posted November 3, 2009 Reckon he might do quite well in a Poacher role, gonna try and sign him as soon as possible. I've always thought his finishing needs to be higher, but I supposed he's too quick for that to happen, as with Walcott Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
christoff1019 Posted December 29, 2009 Share Posted December 29, 2009 can i just say that i had a struggle for amcs retrained him there and hes been on fire scoring 10 goals in 7 games :O Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

christoff1019 Posted December 29, 2009 Share Posted December 29, 2009 ok i suggest to everyone re-train him to amc and use as an inside forward just hit 5 past tottenham second strring in league cup as he has just been out injured and this is his first game back i felt the need to play him and im glad i did :O Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mattyboy89 Posted January 3, 2010 Share Posted January 3, 2010 wow hardly any talk on this guy. I just bought him for 50M at Man City. Will he be worth the money? I have a strong team now, and I feel that Adebayor is not up to the standard of my team so the likes of Tevez and Pato and rotate with each other to net some goals. Can anyone give me a screenshot of him a few years along the line. Thank you. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
OutClassed Posted January 3, 2010 Share Posted January 3, 2010 Thinking about starting a game as AC Milan pretty soon, which role is he best at? Poacher, Advanced Forward etc... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sarmatian Posted January 3, 2010 Share Posted January 3, 2010 Depends on how you set up other players, but he scores consistently as a poacher... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
longyt Posted January 4, 2010 Share Posted January 4, 2010 is anyone else finding milan struggle big time in the 1st season, they finished 13th, and half the team becomes unsettled...including this talented young man. They wanted £28millon for him (which i didnt have...) so i offered benayoun and aurelio plus 18mill....and they accepted!!! Hope this isnt a one off scenario...

Fraggle497 Posted February 8, 2010 Share Posted February 8, 2010 when I had a milan career going, i played him as an advanced forward, partnering the poacher (huntelaar in this case). If in a partnership, he can play advanced quite well and he will bang goals in. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
batty1 Posted February 8, 2010 Share Posted February 8, 2010 He was poor for me at lyon, until I started playing him as a deep lying foward/support set as targetman with ball to feet now he has 15 goals in 10 games Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy 23 Posted February 24, 2010 Share Posted February 24, 2010 I've bought Pato for £52m in 2014 for my team which is a top 6 in the English Premier League side. I've switched my tactics around to suit Pato (and the players sold to buy him!) and I'm now doing even better, top 3, but Pato himself isn't the one making the difference. In fact I've only won 7 of the 13 games he's played in, and he's had 30 shot attempts, 19 on target, 2 goals, 6 assists, 6.95 average rating. On the highlights he's hit good chances at the keeper. I'm playing 4-3-1-2, with Pato as one of the two strikers. Pato is Advanced Forward, his partner is Poacher (great goalscorer, doesn't make assists). I thought this would suit Pato because his pace can break defences, and it gives him the freedom to create goals as well (and worked for Fraggle in this thread). Snoop Robbie Rob's suggestion is a tweak I will try. Batty though suggests bringing him deeper collecting the ball possibly with his back to goal, which is a very different approach. Christoff played him as in Inside Forward in a League Cup game, has anyone got more experience of this? Please do reveal in this thread how to get the best out of Pato!

Skinaldo Posted February 25, 2010 Share Posted February 25, 2010 your strikers are too isolated . you need one supporting the other . IMO id play Pato as target man - supply run onto ball . he revelled in this role in my Milan save Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArsenalFan7 Posted July 17, 2010 Share Posted July 17, 2010 Got him on approach to sign, not a half bad freebie! I play him as a poacher. His attributes seem to always go up, down, up, down though... I'm rather shocked at the lack of interest for Pato though, even if his attributes only look good, he does seem to outplay them though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
likeabawss Posted July 18, 2010 Share Posted July 18, 2010 Best as an advanced forward or complete forward imo due to his creativity and flair. Probably the best goalscorer in the game when he reaches his peak. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
OutClassed Posted July 18, 2010 Share Posted July 18, 2010 Currently on his favoured personal list, his international manager and trying to unsettle him now for around 10 months; so when he becomes unhappy I WILL get him When he comes in it'll probably be to replace Anelka as Drogba's backup; except Pato (by then) will probably be playing ahead of him. But can this guy excel as an AMR as Inside Forward? Has anyone had any success with him in that role? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fraggle497 Posted September 5, 2010 Share Posted September 5, 2010 I had to cough up £71M for him on my EPL save! He'd been on fire with Milan and they kept upping his contract so i could never get him on frees! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
edwinteo Posted September 30, 2010 Share Posted September 30, 2010 surprise surprise. AC Milan offered him out to clubs 2nd season before Jan transfer window. Currently besides myself, Man City and FC Bayern have been offered. I;m playing with Werder Bremen btw. Pato is valued at 33.5 mil, and i counter offered at 5 mil upfront and 15 mil over 48 mths, with 50% next fee back to Milan. They accepted double quick time and i'm now negotiating the contract terms. Thing is, i used Pato in my other save and i had to pay 35 mil for him in season 4. i'm actually looking for a deep lying forward kinda player. I already have Hulk as the advanced forward, got him cheap at 16 mil. should i go ahead and bid aggressively for Pato? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

edwinteo Posted October 4, 2010 Share Posted October 4, 2010 hiah. Man City outbid me so Pato is awaiting work permit to join them in Jan. haha... never looked likely that i could beat Man City to signing him. Man City would be paying 33.5 mil upfront for him. wow, what a fee! looks like i need to sign up more 'cost effective' players.. hahaha Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
