    Have not seen this formation before: 4-2N-2W-0-2

    -------ST--ST------
    ---------------------
    -ML--------------MR-
    -----DMC--DMC----
    -DL---DC---DC---DR-

    Is like a more defensive hexagon.

    I was thinking of the 3-2-2-2-1 butterfly as this would create a battle on the wings.

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

    My 3 DC should counter his 2 ST.
    My DML/DMR should counter his ML/MR with red arrows with help from my 2 MCs.
    My 2 MCs should have the run of the midfield and with 6 total midfielders for me, I should dominate possession.
    Set long ball on the flanks and hope I get some crosses in: he has no Defense with SA, which is good.

    OR

    Do I go with 3-5-2 flat with motivated wingers?

    ------ST---ST-------
    ---------------------
    -ML--MC-MC-MC--MR-
    --------------------
    ------DC-DC-DC------

    OR

    ------ST---ST-------
    -AML------------AMR-
    -----MC-MC-MC-----
    --------------------
    -----DC-DC-DC------

    Any opinions or advice would be appreciated.

    I don't think that he would be attacking through the middle and you'll need to get a lot of attacking power here, so I'd try adding another striker at the expense of an MC.

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

    ... with red on the AMs and blue on DMs and all three DCs (as you'll be pushing and he'll be hoping on counter-attacks, so you need your full-backs to stay on guard). You could use ML and MR if you're concerned about possession, but I think you'll rule it anyway.

    He'll definitely try to attack with wingers. Does he have good full backs?
    I like the idea of 3-2-2-2-1 butterfly. I would motivate DMLs/DMRs with red arrows too, in order to put some width to your team and to create situations where you will outnumber him. That way, they'll defend against his MR/ML and they'll move forward when you attack.
