I'm not defending anyone. I tried to explain how to play this game by their rules. I can say i have first hand experience of their game calendar. So i know the spot times to use/claim those things which often makes me better manager than the others who play this game with some unwise actions. If you don't think twice, you won't survive anywhere you did it.
About playstyles, i don't agree with you either. PS are not working well in 3d view. If you don't urgently need to level a player up. First Let him earn his free PS points during the season progress and then boost him from hot shots menu as late as possible. I always boost my players at the end of season. A pro manager should never have wasted club resources for any reason.
