Another option is 3W-2DMC-3W-AMC-1 (with motivated ML, MR). Won last years CL final with this tactics vs. 4-1-2W-1-2. Similar mentality like above, but mixed attack can be chosen here. You can also choose long balls instead of mixed and activate "force counters".

edit:
Ah, I see you only have one AML and MR/AMR. That makes it difficult.
Something like 3W-2DMC-3N-AMC-ST or 3W-2DMC-2N-AMC-2ST with attack trough the middle and short passing could be an option, but I have never tried that vs. 4-1-2W-1-2.

Good luck and please give a report about what you have chosen and the result.
Bought a amr, now i have 4-5-1 v-style, my match is tomorrow
