There are also preparations you must do about your team
- Win Bonus : remember to set lv3 or lv4 , the higher
- Training bonus : try to have the max, 10% in every category. If your bonus is low, try to get the 10% previous day so with the daily reduction of -2%, to be at 8%. Then, the day of the final, go for the 10%. If it's low, 4 or 6% then you must do a lot of training to make it 10% and this is not good for the day of your final (semi-final).
If your critical game is early in the morning (10-11.00) I recommend not to train your basic squad, only the bench players.
If it's later hour, give a training with all your team once and later try to catch the 10% with your bench players.
X2 video is your priority.
- if you have a league match before your final and it's home, try to change the hour after your final (if it's possible) with 2 tokens.
If you can't, try to keep some of your key players in the bench to have them fresh for the final.
- Check if you have players with yellow cards and try to "protect" them for your final.
If you lack some position, maybe you could buy a new player from the market (not a scout list player). A low 5* with 2-3 token can help too.
- Check the form of your players. If someone is in de-forme period, bench him.
Try not to replenish the morale of your players with boosters often.
Let them play with good morale (not set them every time to perfect).
This can work as an indicator, to detect which one is going down, up or the same.
Then , the day of the final, give the players with good moral, a double blue pack. The players with very good, just leave them.
- If you have to choose players for your final, check who is performing better in that competition
If you spot some players that played better in the Cup or CH.L., prefer those.
