How to beat 3-4-1-2

[dryll]

Hey guys,
I'm playing tonight against this 3-4-1-2 formation (DC-DC-DC/ML-MC-MC-MR/AMC/ST-ST).
Usually I play the 4-5-1 v-shape, but I'm not sure, if it will beat the formation from the topic title. In my opinion, I need to attack him from both wings, because of his playing style without wingbacks. But how I can stop his both strikers and his attacking midfielder?
I've already read, that 3-2-2-2-1 (DC-DC-DC/DML-DMR/MC-MC/AML-AMR/ST) maybe is a possibility too. Is there anybody with experience playing with that formation? And at least: How should I setup my team? Obviously attacking both flanks (mixed passing?), zonal marking for sure, but defensive play with counter attacking mentality or normal mentality without offsidetrap and counterattacking?

Greetings

I myself am facing the same problem. Although the opponent team is of less quality, it beaten my 4-5-1V style 3-1.
What was your experience?
Thanks

Moreover, what setup should I use? I normally attack the flanks since my AML/AMR are awesome. Now I have no wingers, should I use through the middle or mixed ?
