Things to avoid:

  1. Using an illegal formation (not that you'll lose, but it will be harder to be consistent)
  2. Wasting training points
    • Don't train a player for a specialty unless he training around a 3x pace (percent compared to training type)
    • Never train a player for a new position. Rather just avoid playing more than 3 players out of position
    • Never train a player while transfer listed, you won't be able to apply the points

  3. Buying anything with money or wasting too many tokens


That's about it really. Just use some common sense and you'll be ok
