Although I agree that ST aren't good as they used to be, I think that team success is individual and varies from team to team.
My main team is 2nd in similar quallity league, all strong 5*, has 21 players, with constant tactics and formations adjustments. Meanwhile, 1st team in league has only 14 players, 3 on bench are GK and 2 mildfielders (one 3*, one 4*), uses 433 shield formation (DMC+2MC mildfield). His team has all victories besides 1 defeat. I had check out, he uses same line-up and formation whole season and has such good stats, so it isn't rule. Also, few seasons ago I saw one team with quite weak squad (av. 3*) which used 5-2DMC-MC-2ST formation and somehow managed to finish in top 4 and left behing 5* teams.
