How to play against an 4-4-1-1 formation which has better midfielders

[MrDeJaVu]

Hi there,

I've lost against this opponent 4 times in a row, even while at previous seasons my players had a higher quality. Now his MC's/MR/ML/AMC are all scouted, while mine (MC's) are around 5 stars.

So far I've used

- 4-5-1 V
- 3-5-2 V
- Narrow Diamond

I'm aware of some people using 3-4-1-2, but since his AMC is very good I don't want to go without a DMC.

Any suggestions?

EDIT;

I'm thinking about these;

------st-----
-----amc----
ml-mc--mc-mr
----dmc-----
--dc-dc-dc-- (perhaps dl&dr instead of dc?)

-----st---
aml-----amr
-mc-mc-mc-
-----dmc----
--dc-dc-dc-- (perhaps dl&dr instead of dc?)

Bump; I won using 3-1-4-1-1, normal mentality, both flanks, own half. Perhaps usefull for those who're facing this formation as well
