I have all 64 Team Builder cards (a requirement last year), as well as all the 80 - 85 Elites for each team. I have most of the 86s, some of the 87s, and just two of the 88s (Ramsey and Tyreek Hill). I also have a good chunk of all the Gold players (not all, as there are a lot of players and only a fraction were needed last year). I'm hoping the sets are similar to last year as I should be able to plug most of the players in and only have to purchase a few. I'll sell most of the Diamonds and keep Mark Clayton and Donald Driver and then earn the Master. Most of the players I received by using coins to buy packs (15 Gold pack for 36,000 coins being my favorite, although the 28,000 Gameday pack has been very good lately). High cards that are not Core Elites are sold so I can buy more packs. About a week ago I purchased any 80s and 81s I did not have, and then any time I pulled them I used those cards to help build Team Builder sets. Long story short - It's been a grind. But a fun one that is a game itself. I have spreadsheets and everything. I look forward to coming home from work tomorrow and seeing how well I did.
Good luck! I hope your investments pay off. I've done something similar in the past, but only invested in 8 teams or so with a limited coin stack. It's definitely a massive grind, but can be fun if you're into working the AH and data tracking through spreadsheets.
