Strengths:

This team composition is well-balanced, it can dive easily with Hulk and Wolverine, defend backline with Iron Man and Doctor Strange, and help the divers with these OP meta healers.

Weaknesses:

This team composition has few weaknesses, but it's vulnerable if your strategists' ultimates are on cooldown and enemy flankers destroy your backline. This can create opportunities for the enemy team to eliminate Hulk and the rest of your team.
