My opinion on training v. friendlies: if you have good friends you can arrange with, it is better to play the friendlies, as expressed by others, the boosters are good, the formation and tactics experiments are good, and you can see what ratings your players get with those settings without hurting your league standing.
I like to do "practice match" only on players that haven't played 2 matches that day. Cardio is my primary training, and I try to keep my guys at even condition so stretching is for that only. I prefer to log in more than once than risk training to risky low condition in one go (75% is lowest for me, so if it's a long time to next match, I might make 'em go run a few times rather than the other trainings) Unless you are prepared to use red packs, don't use the hard train setting.

Replacements for retirees happens Day 1 if you do not have enough players for a minimum squad.
Sometimes those replacements aren't bad benchers, and they're free, but you can't sell them, and if you want a truly full squad you have to keep or sack them, which isn't free...

Did someone say 3 wingers? Never have three guys on one side -- you'll get bad possession.

Thanks for the answers
Ah ok, if you cant sell them, then its more of a crapshoot.
3 wingers: 1ML, 1AML! and 1 MR (narrow back 3)

Plus one of ur players might get an extra skill point for the MoM if u win!!! My opinions are strongly in favour of friendlies but don't be selfish and see that ur frnd has no upcoming match for atleast 15 hours. If there is no match within that time period, only then play ur friendly. If u play some 15 mins be4 ur frnds kick off and then he loses an important match, he might come up for a revenge!!!!!! Who know!!!!

I cant see my friend's fixtures... he's like L10+ though... so i just challenge a friend who's already ditched the game

Oh a question about moving fixtures? From say L4 and up since you says first 4 levels are easier to win matches, is it worth paying a token to move a match?
I have a match at 17:58 then a cup match at 18:31. I've got a full 22man squad, quickly healed my 2 injuries for today and saving my 1st team for the Cup (0:0 from 1st away leg and 1st in my Lge with 3 wins in 3)
