Top 5 Ways to Maximize Your Coins

Earning coins is one of the keys to building your ultimate team. Think about what your goals are when you start saving up your coins. Are you looking to be a head-to-head player or grind out solo challenges vs the CPU? Are you mainly into MUT for the collecting aspect and want to complete sets? Your focus will change your path slightly, but it doesn’t change the fact that having more coins is always better than having fewer coins. By keeping a solid reserve of coins available, you will always be ready to pounce on deals and keep building your stack.

Grind Out Solo Challenges

New players are always looking for the quickest ways to earn coins, and solo challenges are a great place to start. There are plenty of great challenges that match your skill level early in the game and allow you to start building up to bigger rewards. Take a day or two and work on completing as many as you can; the sooner you get them done the more valuable the rewards will be. You should be able to get your time for each game down to a science and really maximize your coins.

Tip

Playing head-to-head seasons is a great way to earn coins, too. The rewards get bigger the higher you climb.

Play the Promos

There are always great opportunities to build up your coins during promo events when new items come onto the market. Often you get rewards that go into sets, but instead you could flip yours for coins, especially if the reward doesn’t interest you. Consider what the best path to making coins is and try to capitalize.

Tip

If a reward is a player who doesn’t fit your team, you can always auction him on the market!

Pull Packs

Opening packs is one of the best parts of building your ultimate team. The more packs you open, the more chances you have to get back valuable items that you can either use in your lineup or sell to the highest bidder at the Auction House. Manage your binder and try to get your value back from nearly all the items you pull (not just players). By spending some time checking the market, you can find some players who return more than you expect! Use all the filters available when searching to find the best deals, and then consider flipping your purchase for coins if you find a great deal.

Tip

Check the bundle topper to see if it is something you can use for your team or on the market.

Play the Waiting Game

For most player items in MUT, the longer you wait to pick them up on the market, the less they will cost. Over the course of a season, new content comes out each day that can lower the price of older items. Be patient and figure out the true positions, ratings, and players that are worth spending on for your scheme. If you really value QB items, consider getting the latest and greatest item, but know that you will likely spend some extra coins to get it on day 1. This also goes for players you test out and don’t want to keep, so make sure to post them back as soon you know they aren’t a fit for your lineup to get as much value back as possible.

Tip

It can be tough to keep up with the newest cards for a whole season, but you can look for similar items that may be a week or two older to save coins.

Be Ready for Sets

The wealthiest players in MUT are the best at managing their binder and being ready for new sets to drop. They keep track of all the content in a notebook or online and are ready to strike while the values are at their peak. Consider holding onto and waiting to sell certain items in your binder when they are at their peak value, like in a set. By keeping an eye on the market each day, you will start to learn how things fluctuate each week, and you can quickly get well onto your way to becoming a MUT millionaire.

Tip

Keeping an eye on social media can be a great way to hear about the newest sets and items in MUT!
