How to beat 4-5-1 V-Style

[Centurion Nguyen]

Hi everyone,

My next Cup opponent plays 4-5-1 V-Style, which looks like this:

DL--DC--DC--DR
------DMC------
----MC--MC----
AML--------AMR
-------ST-------

His team's overall rating is equal to mine. He has very strong DMC and DCs, and his AMR is 6*. Other than that, his MCs are not as good as mine, and his DL and DR are also not very good (only 3*). I got a 2-2 draw at home in the 1st leg using 3-2-2-2-1 butterfly, mixed passing and focus on the flanks.

-------ST--------
AML----------AMR
-----MC--MC-----
DML----------DMR
---DC--DC--DC---

I do not have real DML and DMR, and used DL and DR for those positions in my last match against him. Since I got 2-2 draw at home, I really need to win at the 2nd leg away match. Is there any other formation for countering 4-5-1 V-Style besides 3-2-2-2-1 butterfly? Thanks.
