A few tips i've collated from playing FIFA over the past decade!

Keep as many original players as you can

FIFA players have such high squad turnover
IRL this kills chemistry
During the 10 year period between 2003/13, Leicester City and Sunderland signed close to 150 players each
2-3 starters per season should change really, with a few prospects
Lots of people will reduce the squad down to the bare minimum of 18 players, just keep the originals as squad filler
Real squads have around 25 match ready players with rest being fillers/youth

Youth Academy

Dont use academy scouts that are higher than your teams star rating
Try to only keep 1 or 2 players per area of the pitch, dont stockpile 5 LW’s while having 0 RW unless you plan to retrain
Scout countries that you have players from already
Neighbouring countries is another good place to scout

Buying Players

Fully scout a player before signing
Don't buy players that are more than 1-2 OVR higher than current best player, this rarely happens.
If you do, make sure it's either an old player returning to former club, or a short loan of a player from division above
EG if my starting 11's overall average is 66, the best player I can sign must be 68 rated. But, he can't be from a better team. The only exception is players over 30 years old, they can be 3 ratings above your starting 11's overall average.

Selling Players

Don't horde players, if you do reject an approach, offer the player a new contract.
If offer comes from team much better than yours and is over market value, chances are irl the team would accept

Keeping overall realistic

Dont sign players that are massively better than current existing young players. EG if you have an 19 year old with 70 overall, dont then sign a 17 year old who is 75 even if this is lower than your best players overall
Try to keep training to players who arent in starting XI
This helps with sharpness and will stop players increasing by 10 overall a season

Limit end of contract players

AI is dumb when it comes to renewing contracts
Can find world class players for no fee and unlike real life tiny wages
IRL free transfers usually cost a similar amount because of signing on fees and higher wages
