Tips for the Mut Draft Mode if you are struggling

I personally love this new mode, here a few tips that might help you out.   

1. Know YOUR playbooks, we all have our favorite formations have our own way to play have this handy to know which playbooks/coaches to select. https://huddle.gg/24/playbooks/?

2.  Do not draft OL, there is no need, and you are wasting an opportunity elsewhere to have better matchups.

3. Draft for Speed.  Speed is king, we all know this, exploit the matchups where you have a speedy WR, TE or RB against a 88.  Look at where his best guys are lined up on defense and stay away from them.  There aren't 99's everywhere like in seasons and champs games.

4.  Before you play one snap on Def, go to coach adjustments and change to align your defensive backs based on ratings, seems like the best CBs always default to slot and outside guys get burned too easy if you don't.

5.  Personal opinion, 1 QB, 1 RB, 1 WR is all you need put as much of the draft towards defense as you can and you won't be sorry.   Doesn't always work out that you even have an opportunity to have a RB. That is part of the fun of the draft part though figuring out how to put a winning team out there and trying some different cards out.

6.  Get a fast  DE or LB, blitzing can be extra effective off the edge when there is no abilities on slow Tackles.   

7.  Don't be afraid to run up the middle, haven't been able to do that in a while with so much inside stuff in every other mode, but here chances are high that DT is just a base 88 and not great.

Also if you have to choose between TE and WR, pick TE because you can always put them at WR.

I would also say, if you happen to be lucky enough, select the 95 overall ben roethlesburger, over any other qb. He gets hrm, as well as other baked on abilities.  He has won me two full draft runs.

hes the best card in that mode 100%

prioritizing DB is crucial. also don’t have MLB’s as your users in nickel, sub in safeties. take baked on abilities no matter what. if you get the chance, take big ben ROH. best qb in the mode.

after draft mode, im never getting angry at a regular H2H with my squad jfc this is the most miserable thing ever.

you also need to draft players with built in abilities

Man is honestly really good in this mode, zone without these dumb kos actually requires some thinking

Some players come with activated abilities and chems too, check the card art.

It really highlights how you have to have abilities to play defense

Some outstanding advice here, thank you -- i had totally snoozed on the coaching adjustment to prioritize based on ratings.  That's really huge oversight on my part.

I had a really decent squad cobbled together, but got a random disconnect and lost it over the weekend.  Hoping to dive back in soon and complete things, but not sure i'll make it unless i git gud.  Do both versions return the same rewards??

The competitive objective gives you a BND 99 Linderbaum, the 5-0 run 5 times gives a  99 OVR draft night fantasy pack

Good tips!

It would be nice if it went directly to line up to let us adjust before it threw us into a game. My best corners have not been in optimal positions and others have been burned badly!

Thanks, dude. Not convinced I'll be going 5-0 five times, seems I'm only at 14/20 on Draft progress.

Appreciate the info, arms l seems I've missed a few things.
