    Be careful going for whole pitch pressing as your player will tire quicker than normal, as for formations he is going very attacked minded so you must play 4 at the back to counter so many forward players!, but you can use this to your advantage if you have the right players!, I would not recommend playing the MR in the MC position unless you have no choice as you will get a small possession penalty for playing a player out of position.
    Have you not got a DMC?, if yes play him for extra cover, if not then its down to you r midfield!, first though you need to fight fire with fire and play at least two strikers but I would start with 3! this will give him some defencive duties aswell!, now as for your midfield what players have you got? ML,MC,MC,MR or ML,MC,MR would be perfect!.
    So formations to play 4-3-3 or 4-1-3-2 or-3-1-4-2 or 3-4-3.
    Orders.. attacking, focus passing mixed, close down own half,hard tackling, passing style mixed, zonal marking and playing offsides a must as he has so many players in forward positions this should work in your favour! dont force counter attacks save your players energy!.
    Arrows.... if your playing a DMC as extra cover like in a 3-1-4-2 formation then you can either give him a red if you want to be offensive or leave him empty so he stays back a bit!.
    Red arrows on all midfield and strikers so you are giving as much as your getting! , the rest now will come down to you having players with full morale and condition so do not train them before the match and use your booster packs if necessary!, watch the game closely, especialy the game stats to see if you are being out played in any area and adjust tacticks to suit!, if things are not going so well then change your orders to hard attacking and go for it!, you can even try changing passing to the flanks if you have the wide players on so good luck bud.

    P.S I class 4-1-3w-2 formation as DL,DC,DC,DR,DMC.ML,MC,MR,ST,ST!. the one you are showing me does look like that but I think must be classified differently some how?. 4-0-1-3w-2? lol
