Table of Counter Formations v2.0 - Which formation to use?

[Stuptown FC]

I love this chart and I consult it daily. It generally always helps me out. But today I don't see a fairly common formation. A simple "4-1-2-1-2 Wide Diamond"

Does anyone have any insights how best to counter this formation? I usually run a 4-5-1V and it works against most, but I want to know if there is something else that might be better.

Thanks!

I think with the wide diamond, a wide defensive line (to account for wide mids) and narrow midfield (alllows you to possess the ball in the middle of the field) work well to counter. 4-1-3-2 maybe with 3 MCs. Or a 4-2(DMC)-2(MC)-2
