Does anyone think it would be fun to have the juice as a legend? I get the stigma, but how fun would it be to enter a h2h and see that their top player is a 96ovr OJ?

These challenges are so boring and tedious. At least the Gauntlet Champions challenges are fun/somewhat difficult. This just feels like a giant waste of time that's going to end in me getting another NAT Geno Aitkins.

TOTY Bell has such a small ownership percentage that it's hard to get a good review at this point. Of all the ones that people have said above I agree with the Vick notion, especially if you're playing h2h or squads: his jukes/speed are incredible and he takes tackles BETTER than Harvest Sanders. You also don't need an amazing offensive line to run with him against premier defenses because he gets the outside corner so quickly. A better back than McCoy (I don't have Playoff Gurley) in my opinion.

Has anyone noticed (or confirm) that matchmaking seems to be easier when you downgrade your team a bit? I've been going in with an 89 overall team and have pulled much easier opponents than when I go in with the 95 (or my best team overall). Is this a thing?

The Mable plays are somewhat effective. If they hit you with it repeatedly consider user-ing your FS/SS and just go for the hit to knock the ball loose. The lame part of H2H is that if they're sending out a Calvin Johnson or Julio Jones that's a 95 you're almost out of luck.  Another risky, but potentially helpful idea (and something I do), is just assigning the safety on that side of the field to the receiver running the deep out and shading the outside. This can work but beware the slot post.

You're better off buying the player you actually want from the auction hall. Most players below 89 are actually considerably cheaper than the pack itself, and you're right in the sense that the likelihood pulling a 92 or 91 from one of these packs (moreover one from a team whose captain you're gunning for) is minimal.

Honestly if you go to AH between five and eight AM you can get really good buys on auction only from people who set a high buy now price but leave it on 8hr at a lower starting bid. I got a Motivator Dez for 60% of his average rate by employing this strategy. So, in short, utilize slow times to get max value and actually win the bid instead of using the "Buy Now" option. Hope this helps.

Thanks. I really just want to get the 89s that come from completing the Playoffs objectives. Is there a scheduled release date for TOTY?

Due to recent trends (see the dropping prices of the players necessary to make a playoff captain) when should we expect to have some reasonable prices for the top players that go into making the captains? Moreover: with a threadbare budget what is the best way to make enough coin to actually afford a Justin Houston (the one player I need to complete the Chiefs set)? So far I've been combining silver players into tokens and selling Jags silvers for around 5500-6000 on PS4. Is there a better way to do this? I'm running out of silvers and mathematically I'm barely making any money whatsoever. Any input or advice is greatly appreciated.

Can someone provide a link to evidence of this market manipulation?
