Default Developing Fomapan

Can someone suggest a developer for fomapan 200 that gives good contrast and fine grain. I have been using ID11 it does not produce the type of negative im looking for which has a lot of contrast they tend to be flatish.

Mitch I was using Foma100 with Rodinal which gave contrasty negs, infact it took me a while to find the correct development times because it was just had too much contrast.
