I just started a totally new Fully FTP team. Completed every live mission, vendored every card but Young and Slaughter, sold any from packs that might net high amounts of PP (anything for historical selects missions, as an example), and bought a full lineup of perfect hitters. While it's not gonna get me to Perfect, or Diamond, and might luck into gold on occasion, it's doing it's job to work me up the lowbie ranks.

The best thing any team can do that's struggling is work your way down. And be smart about it, if you try to weasel your way there.
As a F2P guy, I tend to disagree with this strategy. To work your way down, you need to sacrifice a week which means you’ll get a lot less achievements during that week in the hope of having a big week at the lower level. It may be a net positive but I’ll bet it’s not that much and while tanking you lose a week in working to figure out what players are best for you. You also learn almost nothing from your weeks in the lower leagues.

I’d say to alway focus on improving your main team. Learn what you can from your successes and failures. On the side, put some effort into building a solid Tournament team. My Bronze Bo7 team has been the cornerstone of my strategy as it has fed me with packs all season.
