How to counter 4-1-3N-2

[C Bubu B]

Hi Folks,
I need your help.
Playing in the cup, I just lost against a weeker team (1:2). Opp was in 4-1-3-2 and I used the counter form 4-3-2W(up)-1. Maybe my fault has been not using the tables form 4-5-1V consequently. Does the DMC really make THE difference or should I change tactics (i.g. 4-1-2-1-2ND)?
Best Bubu.
P.S.: In his League the First is playing 3-5-1. Maybe that´s an effective counter?
