Budget Players

I usually only start MUT around April each year, and I started a couple days ago for 26. 

What are the best budget defensive (offense too) players? At or below 200K (or free maxed out players). My offense is looking solid, but my defense is pretty awful. Other than 97 Sam Adams, the average of my players probably range between 85s-91s.

I also do want to start a TT (thinking falcons)

Also lmk best free sets or program passes to max out

Let me tell you, Calvin Johnson TE card still goes absolutely crazy.

I´ve been usin this card for months and almost every other TE I tried didnt run routes as cleanly as him.

Amazing card

this card george holani at running back. Only a 89, but 92 speed. Very good out of the backfield/as a recieving back

Just do all of the legend, UL, TOTW, etc… challenges to get tokens to then get BND players. Free and many good players that you can get.

Lots of 96 Combine players are below 200k, that's great value.

S7 just started, I would max out at least 2 of those players.

As for Falcons TT:

150-200k: Donte Jackson (96 speed and accel and 98 man for a corner)
Trevor Penning (good discounts + 90s in almost every stat)

100-150k: Michael Vick (95 speed, 97 accel and Freight Train as an ability. One of the best RBs in the game)
Lavonte David (94+ speed and accel at MIKE)

50-100k: Any 93 Combine card, I like Brenen Thompson, Carnell Tate (SS), Fernando Mendoza, Caleb Downs, and Avieon Terrell.

<50k: Deion Sanders (94 speed, 97 accel, and can play CB and WR.)
Kyle Pitts (SAM, 92 speed and 95 accel)

There are also Weekly Spotlight tokens. 

They can be earned from completing Legends, TOTW, Collector's Series, Flashbacks, and Ultimate Legends solos and also by progressing through the Weekly Spotlight field pass. 

You can exchange 25 of these tokens for a BND champion card from these specific programs. A full list of players that can be earned through these tokens is here.

Yeah I’ve been grinding those spotlight tokens and have redeemed two sets for the Randy Moss & Sam Adams. I now see they’ve added 98s for the Flashback set, so is it probably better to save these tokens and wait for better ovrs? Or will they not get any better than those currently?

Ultimate Legends should release with 98 champions on Saturday, while Collector’s Series will increase on Monday. There will be one more OVR increase where champions become 99 OVR.

Right now is the best time to join. 

Youll have to grind/buy coins but going through the programs give you a nice start + the cheap 92 combine players always play well. As long as they hit the 90s thresholds, thats all you need till you play online.
