Amassing a legion of bronze and silver players is rarely a blessing when it comes to performing on the pitch, but they can be a quick and easy way to increase your income by selling them in bulk as soon as you begin to collect a sufficient number of gold players.

EA has made it very simple to fill your squad with top tier players at launch; with cheaper packs, rewards for completing basic in-game achievements, and even for linking your Facebook account.

You’ll soon have more than enough gold players to fill the team, making all those bronze players you started with nothing more than coins with legs.
