Alright, I officially finished up my first PROFIT SQUAD. For anyone interested, my method on this is to buy two complete squads of cheap non-rare gold players and then alternate games with them so they don't get tired. Play 6 games with each set (12 total) and then sell them for as much as I can when they have 1 contract remaining (since nobody checks this). Using the 1,000 coin/game EA FC boost is key to making money. I had a couple of injuries so I won't be able to sell some of these guys on until I give them time to heal. If they aren't selling for much more than their quicksell amounts then I might just quick sell them.
Here's the first half of the squad:

SQUAD STATS
Match coins in 12 games = 19,977 (1,648 per game average)
MVP = Eder (ST) the leading scorer for the team with 6 goals and an assist in 6 games. He made good use of the new "shield" mechanic and was fun to play with for a non-rare gold. A bit ungainly with the ball, otherwise he probably would have had about 10 goals, but what can you expect from a cheap player?
Notable Player = Bruno Fernandes (CM) 4 goals and 3 assists in 6 games, didn't score any long distance goals, but his offensive runs enabled him to pop up free in the box regularly and then he was nifty enough on the ball to not fuck it up when he did get a chance.
Notable Player = Pele (CDM) who had 4 assists in 6 games and was a general BTT at the CDM spot
Disappointment = Vieirinha (RM) was the reason I built this squad, as he was the best player I received in a welcome pack. He only scored 1 goal and had 2 assists and was generally just underwhelming with his play. I liked the other wing players better.
Total Squad Profit = 24,879
