I would use one of:
5-1-2n-1-1 hard defending,full pitch, counterattack, focus middle.
or
3n-1-2n-3w-1 " " " " blue arrows on the left and right DCs and the DMC
or
3n-1-4-1-1 " " " " blue arrows on the left and right DCs and the DMC, red arrows o the ML and MR

Adjust mentality according to your shots .. if you're getting lots of shots, stay defensive, if you're getting few shots or get behind, switch to attacking.

Which way you go depends on your players of course ... but attacking up the middle is the only way to exploit his weakness there.
You could also use a 4-1-3n-1-1 and still get adequate defense and gain an extra body midfield to help with possession.
3n defense with blue arrows on the two outside DCs is usually pretty effective against flank attacks but since he's got two attackers on each side, you'll probaby want to go with 5 or 6 defenders. the DMC protects your middle while also contributing to center field possession numbers.
