Midfield Overload.

Against Teams which tend to use Possession as their Power, in this formation players are stacked in midfield to win back possession quickly.
All players in AMF position like to cut inside to the midfield.

De Rossi would act as the anchor
Ramires provides the pivot with running and energy
De Bruyne having a very good long and short passing range, as well as decent strength shall help provide the team with Ball retention and on the wings with some accurate crossing.
Mata is the creative force. Not much defensive use, but would be very influential in dictating play.
Hazard the trickster and the one with pace. Has everything and would help the team in quick counter attacks as well as some midfield penetration.
Lukaku is the powerful striker. Would dominate opposition centre backs, creating space for the midfielders. Also combined with good finishing.

Full-backs are expected to produce the width to stretch opposition defense,
