Attack thru your best player.

5-3-2 will give 4-2-2-2 a run for their money.

Since you say your MR is your best player then try 4-1-3W-2, attack down the right (red arrow) and blue arrow on your ML & DMC.

Alternatively you can try 4-2-2-2 and play defensive, no counter, no offsides. I would anticipate that he plays mix or down the flanks with normal mentality, so you can try to go thru the middle and have blue arrows on your AML/R.

P/S I love the Hexagon!
