Yes you can change to FLR M 5 year route if you meet the requirements
Note that your 5 year ilr clock will reset to zero and you will need 5 years on the 5 year route before you can apply for ilr.

Really? I was not aware that's possible. Based on the decisions made by UKVI, I believe the rule is clear whether on spouse route or child route, if you have overstayed, you will be given 10-yrs route to ILR. How can someone change to 5 years route?

A person can change to the 5 year route at anytime if they meet the 5 year route requirement and have a current valid visa.

Is your visa still valid as per above you stated it was to expire around March 2020?
