Online or off?

Online. The only offline games that I played were the tourneys.

Anyone have any tips for collecting coins? I've been playing a lot of tourneys, but never seem to get any great accumulations since I constantly have to track down player and staff contracts to keep my current dudes.

Somehow I've ended up with a crew of Italians and two players from Mali in the midfield. I've developed quite an affection for a couple of 'em... notably Fabio Quagliarella up top and Mohamed Sissoko in the midfield, who seems to have an extra gear that he can kick into at will.

Trade, Trade, Trade. Try selling everything before putting anything in your collection. I try to high-ball everything once and if it doesn't sell I set a more reasonable buy now. You'll find people paying ridiculous prices for even modest players and cards.

The second trick is scour the trade offerings for people selling Golds. You can often snipe closing auctions at less than 500 coins. Buy 'em and either flip them for more or put them right in the collection for 500.

I've certainly found some bargains on gold players in the auctions... I do need to do more turning around and trading myself. though. I just hate that I have to wait a full day to find out what I got for 'em.

Good call Rob. I spent a half hour yesterday sniping gold players for 250-300 and dropping them in my collection for 500.
