4-2-2-2 Hex should work wonders.

DL---DC--DC---DR
------------------
-----MC--MC-----
AML----------AMR
-----ST--ST------

However, that would minimize midfield, and he has a very midfield heavy team. Play defensive with counter attack on.

You could also go for a 5-4D-1 Wingback:

----DC--DC--DC----
DML----DMC----DMR
ML---------------MR
--------AMC--------
---------ST--------

Using this you could play attacking with focus down both flanks since you'd out-number him there and still match his midfield man count. Use "Whole Pitch" with this strategy.

Then again, nothing wrong with sticking with the 4-5V-1 too
