He's lining up as:

DL -----DC-----DC-------DR
ML-----MC----MC----MC----MR
-------------ST--------------

I'm betting one of his MC has an arrow up, and that's the danger guy. I'm at home this leg. Should I attack him or sit on counter? What instructions should I use and which formation?
3-5-2 against the 4-5-1 flat would be best used with long passing with zonal marking. Attacking tactics should be focused on long balls. This requires a forward with good pace and speed.

you can also replace one mc with one AMC because he don't have DMC and by this way you can break the offside trap .

orders : normal mentality ... whole pitch ... try long passing and if it didn't work good change it to mixed if you watching the game ... counter attack ... offside trap because he don't have any AML/C/R.

and good luck
