The EV of ripping packs is just terrible, and the most effective FTP strategy is to spend every last point of PP income wisely.



I agree that PP value is the right way to think about it, but I think the bar is a lot lower. My Perfect League World Series-winning team has a cost of ~250k PP at current market prices, and I think it could reasonably compete for WS shots on a regular basis based on their performance and run differential. Another team, costing ~200k PP, could arguably compete for a WS after nabbing a wild card berth or division title in an off year. The final team, costing ~100k PP, is going to hover around .500 or so and probably won't ever make the playoffs, but they're also in no threat of being relegated. All of these teams would also completely steamroll any diamond league. I think you can generically dominate most any Perfect League with a 500k PP roster, but by no means is that the lower bound on being able to compete for PL World Series trophies.

Please elaborate on this twice-weekly thing you're mentioning. There's a way to get two free packs every two weeks or two free packs every week offline? If this can be done I need to start doing this but don't know how
