This is my take on creating this style. The idea is to transition from 4-1-4-1 in defense to 2-3-5 in attack. You can clearly see how it happens in the second screenshot.
AM(A) is the main attacking outlet. DLF(A) roams around and IF(A) sits narrow to complete the core attacking threat. W(A) creates width on the left and CWB(A) on the right once we are in the opposition third.
I want to put 3 behind to pick up any loose balls, recycle possession and provide through balls. IWB(S) tucks in to complete the triangle with DM(S) and CM(S). DM(S) has hold position but still S to provide more forward play. CM(S) plays a key role in bringing the ball from the back.
What I enjoy the most is the variety in this setup. There is a different plan on each area of the field.
