I've beat this the three times i've played it this season, 4-5-1V with red arrows on your AML/AMR and DMC, focus down the flanks, or 4-3N-2W-1, same strategy as before but with an MC instead of a DMC if you're going for more attacking power.
I usually stick a DMC in there as he can float around the midfield and defence when needs be.
3N-4-1-2 should work too.
Exploit his lack of defensive midfield players.
