Best way/(s) to play against 4-1-2-1-2 wide diamond...

alright, I've got a match against the 4-1-2-1-2 Wide Diamond in a few hours, well like 6 hours. Its the cup final and opponent is 3 levels higher than me with a massive quality advantage. By massive quality, I mean i'm staring down nine 8* players!!!

Here's the thing to, I understand i'm probably going to lose regardless of what I do. His league match was early today, so all his players should be on max condition w/o investing in greens. I'm just wondering what setup would give the best odds in this situation, even if those odds are only a 5% chance at victory...

What approaches do other managers use against the wide diamond? I'm thinking a 4-3n-3 with normal mentality; however the dilemma is this: I've been outgunned on quality all tourney long, but not to this extreme extent and have been using an attacking mentality all tourney long. Should I just continue with attacking mentality, since has gotten me this far and if so what offensive setup would be best?
