Counter 4-2-1-1-2

Hi guys,

I'll play a League game against this formation:

GK
DL DC DC DR
DMC DMC
MC
AMC
ST ST

My team has a quality average of 97%. His team, 75%, but his strikers are 6-star players. I'm thinking on a 4-5-1V, with blue arrow on DMC. Should I go defensive, to protect my defense from the strikers, and force counter-attacks?

I never played this formation I think but on paper 4-5-1 V looks good. Don't use arrows, never use them.
Go normal and counter off. Short passing. If things don't work well, change in game.

Thanks mate! I used defensive mentality until 60 minutes, and I conceded a goal. Then, I put normal mentality and counter on and won 2-1. One goal in counter-attack and the other in a free kick.
