Formation wise, I haven't seen this formation before and it doesn't appear to on the counter formation table i'm looking at. That said their are similar formations, such as 5-1-2-1-1 narrow diamond and 5-3n-2. Those are countered by the 3-5-2 v and 4-4-2 classic respectively.
Personally, if it was me i'd run a 3-5-2 v so you'd have 3 DC to mark one striker and a motivated AMC as well as 1 DMC and 2 MC to account for an unmotivated AMC and 3 MC. Attacking mentality, down the flanks, whole pitch pressing, short passing, zonal, no counter, offsides on). Red arrows on DMC and maybe central DC. Blue arrows on both MC's.
Good luck!!!
