What's the best formation to use against 4-5-1 V-style?

3N-2(DML/R)-3N-2 Defensive Hexagon - if you're going to use 4-5-1V as your default formation then you should know what to use if someone uses it against you. Never been beaten when I have used the above formation against 4-5-1V...

Never seen that... Let's hope it's not going to give any hope to my opponents... But I think the 4-4-2 ND should get through this easily.

Yes, if I see someone lined up with that formation (or something like it) against my 4-5-1V I can just rotate my three forward players into 4-1-2-1-2ND and have a lot of success...

A strong 4-3N-3 will burn a 4-5-1V, so I just move the wingers back to ML/MR and use 4-1-4-1.
