The problem with US imho, is that you are stuck in the VIth division for a few seasons. Div V is really as tough as in any other league and it might be rather hard to promote rapidly. Div VI on the contraty is rather heterogenous and it is quite possibly to perform rather not so bad there even in the first or second season. So, it seems that performance in the league is rather important and it is not possible to peform normally with crap players and crappy setup or training stamina gambit and other peculiar forms of training. On the other hand, Div VI gives a decent income compared to other leagues in lower divisions especially mostly due to great supporter flow if you perform somehow not very badly. So, I'd focus on performance since one needs a lot of cash and experience to promote to Div V and stay there. Very decent teams are kicked out constantly and a 50-star team in Vth is not a guarantee winner. So, might be good idea to settle down in the league and train something long-term while focusing on performance with what you have on hand and what you can buy for pennies.

Regarding specialists: Definitely hire at least 3 spokespersons immediately (followed with 2 more lately) and one or two of each of assistant and goaltending coaches. If you will train keepers probably need more goaltending coaches. I'd also hire one or two physcologists, they are good for confidence in the long run especially after you are losing matches. The impact of loss on confidence is not that severe and confidence is important for performance. One or two physiotherapists will not hurt as well and you don't need economists unless you are in debt or in profit a lot (over 200K cash) or doctor unless you have injuries.

Regarding lineup for a league match made today: It is not a very good idea. The form of players and training results will change on Friday night and Saturday late night and you might want to adjust the lineup according to this. Also, you might have a youth pull which is good and might want to play him (or sell or fire, whatever).
