How to beat 4-3N-2W-1?

[pcmacdaniel]

3W-1-4-2. Attacking/down the flanks/whole pitch/hard tackling/short passing/zonal/no counter/offsides.

Red arrows on DMC, DL/DR and ML/MR. blue arrows on both MC's.

3W-5-2 v-style and 3W-5-2 flat should work too.

Since he only has 1 ST, one DC is all that's needed. I always play 3 defenders against 1 ST and since your opponent is using wingers the DL/DR should help protect the flanks, while providing help defense against the lone striker. 3 players defending the mid-field is recommended in case of a mixed passing approach.
