4-2mc-2amc-2st

I'm up against an equal-quality opponent playing his whole attack down the centre:

DL-DC-DC-DR

---MC-MC---
--AMC-AMC--
---ST-ST---

I'm thinking of playing 4-5-1 V style, focusing down the flanks. Does anyone have anything that might work better (note, I do have a very good 5* DR/DMR & DL/DML, while my 3rd best DC is only a 3*).

Well I tried 4-5-1v, my DMC got injured by a foul tackle in the 2nd minute, though karma saw his AMC who made the tackle injured in the 19th - and I avoided the yellow. Playing against 10 men (as he didn't have his auto-subs set up) I got 58% possession (he was +5% for home, I was +8% for watching), but my attackers struggled to get shots on target, and the game finished 1-1 after my 5* GK miscued a clearance.
