How to Win Against Any Formation?

[timelord]

I have a really strange line up to play against in the Final of the Champions League - as you can imagine its an important game, but i have not come across this line up before - is it an illegal set up

St - St
AML - AMC - AMR

DMC

DL - DC - Dc - DR

As you can see the opponent has no midfield players and focuses all Strength on striking

I was thinking of playing 4-1-4-1 with my ML and MR with red arrows and possibly DL and DR with red arrows - any suggestions to counter act this formation

If i had to play with that formation, i`ll play with this:
-----ST----
AML------AMR
-----MC------
DML-DMC-DMR
--DC DC DC--
If you dont have AMs, try ML/R with red arrows. Normally is defensive, force counterattacks, own half, focus down both flanks. But because it is illegal and possesion is on you, could leave mentality normal, and be prepared if he withdraw/change AMs to MC.
