I wonder with too many teams trying to play the Man City way (& the 1980's Liverpool way) of building up from the back with slow patient passing back and forth across the park and back to the goalkeeper, hoping to catch the opposition too far up or not. They are cancelling each other out and then make the game too complicated by trying to out psych the opposition.
Keep it simple. Give a mixture of down the wings or down the middle. Short range & long range shooting, route 1 or not route 1. But play it with simple passing. Rufer is ideal for this because he has a great set of passing abilities.
Changing formations during a game can screw up a teams balance. 5 at the back to me is just plain defensive. especially when players back off and back off more. They are the cause of their own undoing.
