    previously i win 2-0 against this formation using 4-1-4-1

    my order was:
    Mentality: Attacking
    Focus passing: Down both flanks
    Pressing style: Own half
    Passing style: Mixed
    Tackling: Normal
    Marking: Zonal
    counterattack, No Offside trap

    *red arrows on ML/MR/DL/DR
    you can try and share the result
    good luck

    Put 2 STs and 1 DMC. You can also use 3DCs. He has a very bad defensive line. No DMs, only 1 DC.
    Punish him for his lack of defense. He uses only 1 central defender and 2 fullbacks, therefore if you put a 2nd ST you'll have 2-1 situations (his fullbacks are far away, they can't man mark your 2nd ST) all the time.
    Also, he is dangerous when he has the ball. So you must prevent him from getting the ball. Try to put some pressure all over the pitch. You don't want him to move the ball into your own half, and with 2 STs and some midfield, you can put pressure effectively in his defense.
    3-4-3, 3-5-2, 3-4-1-2, 3-1-4-2 are the formations I would suggest:
    If you are afraid of his AMC, put a DMC on him to mark him all the time. It doesn't matter if you attack through the middle or with wingers (that really depends on your players) but make sure you have 2 strikers and put pressure all over the pitch.
