In this case, instead of talking over about team strategy, which basically comes down to match-ups and match-flow, the more important part is individual strength which is exactly what they are doing right now.
It reminds me of a recent(?) chapter of Kuroko no Basket, where a retired pro player explained that the team of individualists actually had better teamwork than the happy family main character team. Because teamwork wasn't about being nice to each other, but about doing your job within the team and playing to your strengths.
