Top 10 Budget Cards You Need for CUT

Aug 27, 2024

Last week I looked at the best cards currently available in College Ultimate Team.

Today, I’m going to focus on building a budget team. Here are the best cards currently available for less than 100K.

10. 85 Luther Burden III

If you can't afford the 90 overall cards, no worries—this card will do just fine. It has 85 speed and hits the 80 route running threshold. The only negative about this card is that he doesn’t get any abilities, which with Bronze Takeoff would make him even deadlier.

9. 85 Mike Evans

We live in a world where they give Mike Evans speed, this card is really good, and he gets bronze takeoff which is a really good ability probably the best bronze offensive ability outside of DOT! He is also 6’5 making him a big body to catch Aggs in the high ball meta we currently in

8. 85 Jonas Sanker

College is a unique game where you can play people out of position and I would play him at CB, 6’1 with 85 speed As he is a dog, he doesn’t hit the man or zone threshold but as Al Davis would say “Speed Baby”.

7. 87 Kyle Thornton

You All know I love a good user that covers the field, 6’1 with 85 speed he is a dawg, and he also hits the 80 zone threshold if you don’t want to use him and leave him in a zone, I like this card as a user.

6. Oronde Gadsden II

A 6’5 TE with 84 speed and hits the short and medium route running thresholds, he’s not a run blocker but for the passers out there he would fit into anyone’s scheme easily, he’s right there with Jace Amaro as the best budget TE in the game

5. 86 Micah Parsons

We love a good edge rusher you need two in this game he gets top in speed and he also gets bronze quick jump which is the best defensive ability in the game currently, he’s also versatile and you can use him or put him in zones a true Swiss Army knife

4. 84 DJ Mickens

A top SS in the game, 84 speed ain’t top-notch notch but he hits the 80 man and zone coverage thresholds a very nice card you can use either at CB, SS, or in the box depending on the defense you running

3. 87 Will Anderson Jr

I think this card is too good, and the fact you can get him for under 100k is criminal, should be on all squads whether NMS or AMS, and get bronze Quickjump which you can combo with bronze Workhouse to reduce the fatigue when pass-rushing.

2. 86 Saquon Barkley

Judkins this, Judkins that - we’ll forget wasting 280k on him and cop Barkley for a fraction of the price who catches the ball better and has a decent spin, mixed with a good juke I think this the best RB on all NMS rosters.

1. 86 Michael Crabtree

Another card that is good for his price, the WR position is loaded in general but this card stands out from a lot of cards because he gets the best spin and juke in the game, he also gets bronze Takeoff making him even more deadlier, he is number 1 WR on all NMS teams.
