How to beat 4-1-1-3(AMC-AMC-AMC)-1

In the next round of the cup, one of the formations my opponent uses is a 4-1-1-3(AMC-AMC-AMC)-1. Any idea how to properly set up against it? It's the 3 AMC's that scare me. I don't want to go 3 in the back in case two of them have red arrows.

I'm thinking about running a 4-5-1 V, but am not really sure.

Agreed. If struggling and still tied near end of match, take off the DMC and put on a MC.

Thanks everyone, i'll give the 3-5-2 V a good if he shows that formation. He tends to run alot of different ones so i'm not sure what i'll be facing, I'm hoping its not that one though.

thanks for the help! My opponent ended up running a 4-2(ML-MR)-3(AMC-AMC-AMC)-1! Imagine my surprise when I realized I had the good fortune of facing an illegal formation in the cup quarterfinal.

I won 10:0 and ran a 4-1-2-1-2 Narrow Diamond to exploit that non-existant central midfield and defensive midfield.
