That's one of the ways to go. So you might look to have players wide running past, and a number 10 who makes runs past the 9 (Bellingham) with a number 9 heading the wrong way and not pinning the defence. The alternative is play a nine to stretch and pin the defence, in which case you can play players who come inside and threaten the goal second phase as your width, and a 10 who operates in the pocket. There isn't a right or wrong...but there is an impact on the sort of teams that you will score goals against. There will be rich pickings back post second phase against less powerful/organised teams who struggle to cope with wide runs and a deep midfield run....your better teams will cough up less of those sort of chances, and might struggle more with good movement to open space in front of goal for the more technical rapier like number 10.
Personally I'd sacrifice the 4/5/6th against moldova, for the ability to give a spain more trouble. YMMV.
