The 3-5-2 formation would meet the criteria I look for. 3 defenders for his 1 ST, equal number of midfielders, and 2 ST against his 4 defenders. With my personnel, I'd actually be going with a mapleleaf formation: 3W-2DMC-3W-1AMC-1.

Defensive, Mixed Passing, Low Press, Short Pass, Normal Tackling, Zonal, Counter On and Offside On (since he has no attacking midfielders)

But I like playing defensively
