For me when I see one striker, it is time to break out the counter attack so as to not need to play through his packed defence and not as likely to get scored against when letting them have the ball.
having 4 at the back when only 3 are necessary is a waste. Dont go with 3 DCs then, line up with a DL-DC-DR...that will make your lone DC man mark his lone ST while your DL/DR take his wingers. Why quadruple mark a lone ST in your example? fullbacks to defend wingers? I thought your own ML/MR can do that. or use DML/DMR.
