Right i'm about 12 games in now and i see what you were all on about racing to a gold is probably a bad idea to begin with 
I've got around 1500 coins now, brought around 4-5 bronzes and 1 silver. Got Roy Carroll, playing really well for me in goal! Also this 74 spanish midfielder is a beast considering what i already have. Chemistry unfortunately is at 32 because of chopping and changing players most of the time when contracts run out. Trying to keep my team primarily english at the moment at most of the players i'm getting from bronzes are english. Saving all my contracts cards for when i get some half decent players, only used 1 so far and that was on Carroll
Enjoying it loads so far, apart from i was just in the middle of a match and lost connection, EA servers or my wireless went down not sure which it was.
