well training is part of the game obviously, but i myself have found that just having a good individual schedule with medium throughout the season works. i usually rest my players for 1 day after the match(only rest those who have played the match).
i only go harder on training in pre-season. even then its not 100% necessary as you can get players into shape by having quite a few extra friendlies in pre season.
but yh a bit of changes in the tactics will help, as teams will learn how your team plays and try to counter it. so at times making slight changes helps, often just changing a bit of personal and team instructions helps.
but keep in mind changing the style and tactic too much might have a negative affect as your team is not prepared for it. hence you can "prepare" more tactics now which is a good thing, so you can have your team ready for maybe direct style of play with counter attack, then maybe slow tempo tactic etc.
