Started playing CUT in season 4, have not spent a dime…just grinding challenges and ladders. Currently have a 97 OVR theme team (all O and D chems plus school maxed) but with no single card higher than a 97 before chem boosts. Have maybe 400k training and 1.5M coins.
I’m seeing YouTubers with 99 cards in every slot, which allows them to run deep in Gauntlet, Honors H2H, etc… Not saying I’m elite on the sticks but there’s no way I’m consistently beating anybody with that cracked a team.
Is it even possible to build up a competitive no money spent team at this point? Am I overlooking some key strategy to acquire the elite cards without dumping cash and ripping packs?
