New To PT - Looking For Written Guides, Advice To Augment My Unusual Starter Luck
Grabbed OOTP 21 this past week after not playing it for several years.
Perfect Team scratches all of my itches for hooking me in.
I started on Wednesday and I was trucking along decently (top 6-8 in my Entry Pool). I found a guide for doing the collections and I have been plugging away at those. Currently finished the Live Cards for Sea, KC, Bal, SF, Tor, Ari, Bos, LAA & Det. Randy Johnson is the obvious standout, currently 21-1 for me!
I started trying Iron tournaments and I have placed in the card pack payouts 3 times in maybe 30+ attempts. BUT. Here is my extremely unusual stroke of luck.
My first ever pack reward I pulled the All Time Legend 2007 Alex Rodriguez (100) card
Needless to say, this and a few decent auction buys and I have improved

Sitting top of my Entry Pool now and looking to plan for the real leagues ahead.
Really digging the nature of slowly upgrading my roster and planning for the future.
Here is where I need help. I am a written guide kinda guy, and I have struggled to find anything to help with PT 21.
Should I slowly and incrementally improved positions? Save up and get the massive upgrade that will live in my line-up for a long time?
Does anyone have any links they could share?
I'd love to read experienced advice on where I should be looking to upgrade first, what directions I should be heading in etc...
If anyone is interested in specifics and could give short term guidance on my next moves, here is my current roster
Pitching
Batting
Varitek has been a massive letdown to date
I am VERY close to finishing the Houston collection, so the 97 Bagwell will be available to me soon
