This is the fourth installment of my no-money spent (NMS) series covering the best tips and tricks for navigating Madden 25 ultimate team without having to use a credit card. EA has made it more difficult this season for us NMS players to compete with the introduction to the premium pass in season 3 that gives 49 premium rewards for 1500 points. Despite this the Most Feared promo provides us with the best opportunity this season to earn some of the best cards in the game without having to spend a dime. Let’s take a look at some of the best things you should be doing no money spent this week.

Most Feared Promo
The Most Feared promo is always one of the best promos dropped in MUT providing lucrative rewards for us NMS players. By logging into ultimate team, you will have a choice between TE/QB/RB Taysom Hill or a DT/MLB/CB Ndamukong Suh that can be upgraded to 90 overall with most feared tokens.
Throughout the field pass you have the ability to earn multiple 84+ Most Feared players while earning an 85 overall upgrade token for MLB Divine Deablo. In part two of the most feared promo, we have two new LTD’s that are dropping with 91 Chris Jones and 91 Tavon Austin.
90 Overall Upgrade Players
Coming with the Most Feared promo is its own form of currency in “fear”. This fear can be exchanged for tokens in the store similar to upgrading the players from the season passes this season. Throughout the promo we will be able to obtain fear through solo challenges and the field pass to upgrade players to 90 overall. These players include Kenneth Walker, Grady Jarrett. Divine Diablo, and Landon Dickerson. In total it costs 30,935 to upgrade these players.
90 Overall Players
The best bang for your buck is using your fear on the 90 overall BND most feared champion for 21,620 fear. In the part two release the four new 90 overall cards include Deebo Samuel, Nick Chubb, Kam Chancellor, and Jaylon Johnson. I would recommend holding onto your fear until the last part of this promo. One of the best ways to get fear is by taking advantage of the select offers most feared packs.
Besides upgrading cards, we can obtain some 90 overalls from playing the game. We can earn Jordan Poyer from winning head-to-head season games. We can earn 90 Leo Chenal from playing the gauntlet. Brock Purdy and Carlton Davis are earned from the draft event reward. Finally, we can earn 89 Mike Williams as the MUT Champs reward player.
Monster Chemistry Boosts
In Most Feared there are 9 different factions of team chemistry all providing different perks. Above I attached an image of each specific faction’s boosts. Ideally you want to target speed, acceleration, man coverage, and zone coverage. Just taking a look at it, the werewolves and the reapers seem to provide the best attribute boosts out of all the factions. This can vary depending on the players you are slotting into your lineup from the promo. Below are each factions group of players.

Solo Challenges
Solos are one of the best ways to finish your daily challenges while working towards free rewards. The two programs you need to keep up with weekly are the Legends and AKA programs. When you earn enough tokens from playing these solos you can get a free Legend Boss fantasy pack. Right now, there are enough tokens in the game to get a boss legend pack and a boss AKA player. Personally, one of the best players in the game just dropped in CB Denzel Ward for the AKA promo and it is well worth using your tokens on.
This week the Most Feared solos have released and are imperative in earning fear currency, players, and upgrade tokens. Below are the Challenges for Most Feared
