Considering he isn't playing with attacking midfielders and he has a couple of DMCs, you'll want to go with a flat midfield. 3-5-2, 4-5-1 or 4-4-2 with attacks either down the flanks or mixed would work well.
Your team looks considerably weaker to me, so I would definitely not go with only 3 defenders. Opt for 4-4-2, 4-5-1 or even 5-4-1.
Yeah i do agree, i think 4-4-2 classic is the best option with down both flanks, defensive mentality since his/her team players stronger than you
