If it was me with that squad I'd play:

------DC---↑DC↑---DC
-------------DMC
-↓MR↓--MC------MC--↓ML↓
---------ST-------ST

The narrow diamond has no width to attack your rear flank, so DL/DR are not needed your MR/ML stop his DL/DR attacking down the flanks on the counter, you have his centre matched MOM with one spare. His DMC is going to get dragged away from the centre to stop your MR/ML getting 1 v 1 with his Defenders as he is most certainly using Zonal.
Your motivated MR/ML attack his flank as he has no DMR/DML and feed balls into your strikers.


Mentality normal, Own half, Focus Both flanks, Tackling normal, Mixed passing, Marking Zonal, NO off side No force counter.

You could even play Defensive with force counter hitting him on the break.

Then again the game engines mind may already made up.
