Last season I played around with differing levels of bonus, I tend to give the minimum for league matches and the second bonus for the cups, until I get trough all the preliminary rounds, I then up it depending on who and where I'm playing, tough team away generates maximum bonus, easy team at Home mid bonus, semi and finals max out, when my top spot in the league was being threatened by the game engines random results, again I max out the bonus.
As I guide, in total I paid out an additional 20% of total income in bonuses.
