I've tried various counter formations. Those i recall are 4-4-2 Diamond, 4-4-2 Flat, 4-5-1 v-style.

Would love to target his lone DC by placing 2 ST and 1 AMC with central focus passing. But never seem to work.
Given the previous results of your failed trials, I would try 5-3N-2 with short passes through the middle and see how it goes. Since you say you're that much stronger than his team, hopefully you don't lose too much possession for having fewer midfielders than he does.
