If I have a *great* season, I might earn 10k points in a week. Which means I'm only 20 great weeks away from completing the June Stars mission...

The developers seem to have geared everything towards combinators and pay to play teams and left nothing for F2P.

(Incidentally, a sell price cap system on diamond and below would go a long way towards leveling the playing field.)
The trick to FTP (other than finding ways to collect cards and PP, which includes tournaments, live spec, and Twitch drops in addition to achievement rewards) is laser focus on one mission or mission set. If you've got a card that isn't helping on the active roster and isn't part of your current target mission or set then you sell that card. Also, sell now on any brand-spanking-new card that's massively over-priced because of a new mission that was just added. In both of these cases, you'll be able to buy back later at a lower (usually much lower) price if you find that you need it because your goals have changed.
