However, today's article will provide you with tips and a template to work from while planning how to best utilize the content you expect to receive in the beginning of MUT. Check out a list of different offers and rewards below with links to their details:

Setting Your Lineup
Once you have determined which edition of Madden NFL 22 you are buying and which bonuses you will be receiving, the next step is to start planning out who to select when presented with a choice. It's always good to plan ahead so you don't end up with 3 quarterbacks for example, where 2 will never see the field and could have been players who can help you on day 1.
Also, you should open random-content reward packs, if you have them, before opening packs with choices between players. What you pull from the packs you can't control will influence the picks you can control later. If I pack a solid LT for example, I can call an audible, and instead of selecting 83 OVR NFL Star Laremy Tunsil, I can take 83 OVR Frank Ragnow for my center position instead.
For the example below, I'm planning a non-theme team for Dynasty Pre-Order, 4x Rookie Premiere items, and adding players I plan to earn very early on, like 87 OVR Gridiron Forge JC Jackson:
