What gives with the season 7 missions?

I'm not a super high level player, but have been playing for a long time. My survivors are level 17. How am I supposed to get any Negan tokens? The game gets so difficult that I can't get past the 3rd round....how are guys like me and lower levels supposed to have a prayer of achieving these carrots you dangle? We are angry!

How are anyone but very high level players supposed to get the tokens?
Some of us have been playing for a very long time. Just because we haven't bought our way to the top, do we not deserve the tokens to get Negan as well?
What you are now trying to get is the bonus 20 (or 30?) Rick tokens.
And i also think you already have the 32 tokens. More next week and the week after. Etc.

That said. I am totally stuck, and could use some help. I have tried to avoid the heavies, as you've said, but they seem to pop up right next me and I get stuck.
If any of you have some different variations, or other strategies that have worked, I could use the help.
And yes, it was the bonus tokens I am trying to get, Rick or Negan.
Thank you all
@Mrgrumpy , it may help to provide screenshots of your survivors and gear for better advice.

Ebbywolf...thank you so very much for your post. It helps to know I'm not just some idiot, like some can imply. Thank you
I took the former option and hoped i would dodge some of the attacks, which i did. Then i ran for the door to bail. Note that if you are 2 or more turns to get to the exit chances are you won't clear this trial.
FYI - i failed multiple times with this strategy. If you don't have good level of dodge you'll have a hard time.
I used an Assault & a Scout & went to bottom left corner & killed all Walkers & Fatties from there. I also used my Scout in Overwatch mode a lot for the Fatties & not charged them (I also have Dodge & Interrupt that worked in my favor though)
Have you seen the videos from other players here in Forums? Like @Necroboogie or @Poppy ? Maybe they would be so kind as to post them here please?
They may be of some help also!!
& like @zbot said.. if you could post some screenshots.. we could be of even more help

I used a shooter and a hunter - moving far enough away from spawns so that I can get overwatch/interrupt (if it worked) than counter-attack. I had a shooter with a charge bonus, which is helpful because if you can charge your shooter up as fast as possible the fatties become much more killable. I feel like in my case, I was retreating to behind the RV, then moving back down toward the RV door as I went.
Don't know if your pattern is different - but don't be afraid to move around + use overwatch to slow them down.
