Indeed, it is highly advisable to occasionally put your best players on the bench for the most important matches - friendlies won't do a thing, but watching league play-offs or final stages in cups from the bench will definitely motivate them to do better. Also, if you transfer-list a player that hasn't been performing well, make sure you put 1 Euro asking price so that the player understands that with his current level of performance, he is basically worthless, and this will encourage him to step up his game. If a player doesn't train well, you can also put the player to train some irrelevant skill - imagine how motivated a striker will be to do better after training goalkeeping for a week? Lastly, new haircuts and tattoos can actually increase a hidden attribute of narcisism, which makes a player more egoistic and less eager to engage in teamwork, so I'd advise against it.
