I did and I lost 4-0, trying to go down both flanks... he will play through the middle... so maybe you should try 4-2-1-2-1 or 3N-2-1-2W-2...
Btw, guy who plays that formation conceded only 6 goals in 15 matches...
I'd rather play 3N-2-1-2W-2, but you can switch in second half if it doesn't work... It's tough formation, even much stronger teams than me in my league failed to beat it... He is undefeated tho, and he is not even regular daily player...
One guy who played draw with him used 4-2-2W-2 hex formation... I tried that one and lost 4-0... The other one who played draw used 3-5-2 V formation and I have that team beaten 4-0...
