My current training philosophy (or religion, lol).
I couldn't know for sure, but I think that skills matter. The mechanics is tricky, and random factor is huge, but for me it feels like minimaxed players in certain situations perform better than universal ones, especially with high grey skills. So I try to avoid grey skills while concentrating on just a few white skills.
To do that I use only one type of drill for every player until he gets 310-320% in any skill. After that I start using the next drill in line. Most of the team are currently on the 2nd drills in their lines.
I can only guess what skills do, so I try different approaches for similar players.

GK: 1-on-1 Finishing > Shooting Technique > Hold the Line
and Shooting Technique > 1-on-1 Finishing > Hold the Line

DC: Gym > Hold the Line

DMC: Gym > 1-on-1 Finishing
I have only one guy to this position, and he is more DC than DMC. He naturally grew high Tackling, arguably the most difficult skill to train in the game, so I want to improve it even more. He didn't play well before this bizarre training anyway. He also gets a lot of yellow cards.

DL/DR: Long Run > Def Crosses
for Corner specialists: Def Crosses > Long Run

MC/(they are also ML/MR): Slalom Dribble > Long Run > Set-piece delivery
for Free-kick specialist: Pass, Go & Shoot! > Set-piece delivery > Slalom Dribble > Long Run

AMC: Slalom Dribble > Long Run > Pass, Go & Shoot! > Shooting Technique

AML/AMR: Slalom Dribble > Long Run > Wing Play

ST: 1-on-1 Finishing > Shooting Technique > Pass, Go & Shoot!
and Use Your Head > 1-on-1 Finishing > Shooting Technique > Pass, Go & Shoot!
