MUT is a grind and its a marathon, not a sprint man "quote from This is Popular Stranger" :)
First Month of the game is rough man, there is no doubt about that.... I usually take what i can get from packs and challenges, and save my coins until I have enough to barter with and go from there.
**Play some challenges, Solo Seasons, and Solo Champions on anything but hard for now, once you get a decent line up you can try your luck @ Solo Champions Hard Mode (think of it like Solo Battles on All Madden, but not knowing what Overall your CPU team has or what players they have in specialist area's.) I am not a fan of that, I prefer knowing what overall cpu is and what substitutions they are using for specialist posistions and if they have theme team 20/40 or 40/40 players.
**Do your Dailies and save up your Tokens(important for Champion cards from Weekely Spotlight Field Pass) for your Free cards you earn from Challenges, Field Passes, and Objectives.
***You can Visit Youtube and search for "Popular Stranger" and "Swift", they will help you with NMS information, good strategies to use for NMS, and up to date Information on New MUT promos that will release and have released recently.
***NMS = No Money Spent (after purchase of the game itself)
Take your time, be smart about choices, and save your coins until you have enough to comfortably buy key positions you need on the Auction House, and for now... use what EA is giving you through the above information.
Good Luck and most of all have fun out there, it will help the grind go smoother.
Take care.
