1. I tend to have 1 formation i stick to but have the players to play at least 2 other so i can plan for cup matches against stronger opponents.
2. I tend to keep my strongest 11 in for all games so they can gain the skill points. Sometimes players slump in form that's when i might give them a rest so to speak. I know some players on here that use 11 players for the league matches and the second 11 for cup games.
3. I don't train my starting 11 whilst i'm in both cups, maybe a little bit just to make sure they don't waste time full of energy. I mean lets be honest you don't want people just sat around doing nothing
4. without looking at your finances page i can only guess but i think khris is right it's going to be players wages
5. It's tricky putting the stadium in an order of importance as you have to build them staggered together but personally when i built my stadium i did it in this order
Hospital
Training facilities
Pitch
Everything else
Hope that helps good luck
