I prefer a shadow striker over a dribbler (for AMC/R/L roles). I find it much more useful to have a false striker in the team especially if you have a playmaker.
Also I prefer my DMC (if I am playing one) to have playmaking abilities. This has worked for me. I lost my DMC playmaker in level 2 due to retirement & have been looking for a replacement since. Now Im at lvl 7 I am very happy to have gotten my man. So far zero cards.
