3w-1-4-2 or 3w-5-2 ( attack for both of flanks) give red arrow on MR,ML,ST, a blue on middle MC,DC.
I think you should play with 3N (DC's) not 3W since he has only 1 striker.
I'm facing the same formation and I managed to win playing narrow diamond (VS same quality team) but not sure that is the way to go hehe.
I was thinking 3N-2W-2N-1-2
i used 442 and losed then i tried 3n and also losed but when i changed it to 3w i won, i noticed that my DL,DR stop the passing from his MR,ML to ST. and my DMC (with red arrow) helped to control the middle. i have the best win (mine) vs 4-1-4-1 with 3w-1-4-2...
I won again against this formation using narrow diamond!
So 2 games 2 wins!
