In fact, once I get another pack of cards, I will sell\/exchange a few of these.  I\u2019ll do what I can to keep the Gold cards, but I am also not at all against flipping them in the auction house.<\/p>\n<p>Thanks to the free Brees card, my team now has a healthy 80 rating, but at just below 50, my chemistry sucks.

I do not really want to build my team around Brees or Saints cards, but the reality is that Brees and Chris Johnson are my best players.  Doubt I will sell them until I have something of equal value at the QB and HB positions, but this is the enjoyable part of the game.  My first step was to get to a point where I could sustain my team.  I think I am there, or almost there; I could see having to infuse my team with another pack of cards (i.e. spending real money).  The next step is to actually build a team.  MUT is sort of like fantasy football console style.<\/p>\n<div class=\"addtoany_share_save_container addtoany_content_bottom\"><div class=\"a2a_kit a2a_kit_size_ addtoany_list a2a_target\" id=\"wpa2a_1\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.addtoany.com\/share\" onclick=\"__gaTracker('send', 'event', 'outbound-article', 'https:\/\/www.addtoany.com\/share', '');\" class=\"a2a_dd addtoany_share_save\"><img src=\"http:\/\/www.calvertgames.com\/cgblog\/wp-content\/plugins\/add-to-any\/share_save_171_16.png\" width=\"171\" height=\"16\" alt=\"Share\"\/><\/a>\n<script type=\"text\/javascript\"><!--\nif(wpa2a)wpa2a.script_load();\n\/\/--><\/script>\n<\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I laid off MUT for much of last week in favor of some other neglected games, but did get in a game yesterday.
