How do I beat 4-1-1-2w-2? CL QUARTER FINAL TOMORROW

[BMD23]

This guy is slightly better on paper. Much better starting 11. He plays 4-1-1-2w-2 & our first encounter I played 4-1-4-1 normal, mixed pass through the middle/mixed with counter on. Went up 2-0. Lost connection of course. He had changed to 4-2mc-1-3 & scored 2 quick goals before I could do anything about it. I was trying to switch to my go to formation 3n-1-3w-1-2 but server was against me that day. Any suggestions? I hate playing counter when he has Aml/r's. And what do you think about through the middle? Any input would be great. Experience against this formation is a first for me so Im a little baffled. HOOK ME UP! THANKS GUYS

against him you must have DML/DMR ,to block his AML/AMR ..... I would play like this .....
DC-DC-DC
DML-DMC-DMR
MC-MC
ST-ST

Why "must"? I've played without DML/DMR against AML/AMR vs strong teams without any problems. If you have a solid pair of DL/DR then that works too.

Nevertheless, the formation meraklija used should work too. But I'd also try a 4-1-4-1 formation with defensive tactics. That should do the trick.
