Let's see, where do I start? ;-)

Does anyone (hopefully Mad Dogg
) know what the benefits of shooting training is? I'm currently training scoring and wondering whether to change now that shooting training has been boosted.
I believe Shooting trains all outfield players who play in scoring, but much slower than what Scoring training trains the forwards. It also trains set pieces to everyone in the squad, but once again much slower than if you just trained Set Pieces. Like I mentioned for the Defensive Positioning, it's not normally worth it as you'd need players of trainable ages in all positions, and it's not really any use to train defenders and midfielders in scoring. You could just have pure forwards in all positions, but that's not exactly good in terms of getting results.

I noticed next week I have my first ever cup game. Tell me should I use my full side and if I put match of the season, would my players perform worse next cup or friendly game or next league game?
Stars don't really give you a great indication of how good each team is, they are better at comparing individual players. For comparing two different teams, compare the match ratings. This gives a better indication of the strengths of the teams, and you might get hints on how to play him (he might always have a low left defence, so you should put your stronger attack on your right to attack that weakness, etc).
From having a quick look at the two teams, I'd say you are very evenly matched so I would play my strongest team. You will probably win the midfield slightly since you are playing at home, so you shouldn't need to PIC or MOTS.
I see you play your wingers normal. As a general rule, always play wingers offensively or towards middle. The normal and defensive orders for the winger are probably the most useless tactics in the game, as all it does is improve the defensive contribution but it decreases the attack ratings. And the decrease in the attack is much higher than the small amount of defence you gain, especially as most wingers don't have much defending skill anyway. So use them offensively if you want them to boost your attack, or towards the middle if they have some playmaking skill and you want to boost your midfield (but it will drop your side attack).
Actually, if you have a third playmaker, I find 4-4-2 with three inner mids and one offensive winger to be a very strong combination. It depends on your players and opponent on whether it's best for different games, but for this upcoming cup match it would give you a good edge if you can win the midfield by a significant amount.

I think the home side gets 2/3 and the away team the rest.
Correct.
Hmmm, I think that's everything. :lol:
