I fully agree both:
- remove empty lineups:
Why managers who try to optimize minutes, who try to scout how your players should play against opponent are penalized when he/she will put players into lineup manually? I really don't get it! There should be some pros and cons in all decisions and now empty lineup has one major pros = optimal performance in every case. Thats why all national teams, all highest level teams in all critical games will choose empty lineup.
- remove gameshape training:
Okay this is just a game, but what kind of training in real life would be gameshape training?? Minute management should be important factor in this game. I see that most beneficial strategy is definetly: minimal team, empty lineup, gameshape training. Income from training is less than savings with smaller team and better arena income due to better performance. It is also making this managerial game too simple!
