You are enough of an outlier to be living with Doc Manhattan on Mars.
I've been playing almost 24 wks and my best squad staff has Clevinger-Kluber-Severino and golds. I have one team out of three with a single historical diamond pitcher.
You are some incredibly lucky SOB if you pulled all those.

I didn't pull any of those. I pulled 99 Brown a few days ago, but the only time he's seen on my roster has been during the diamond playoffs and a very brief stint at the end of the diamond season last week for which I didn't really need the help. In fact, before pulling the 99 Brown (which, again, played no role in my success up to this point), my pulls were actually really bad compared to the number of packs I've seen. In 8 diamond packs, I pulled 7 quicksell lives and a POTM Bieber. Really not that impressive. Even without Brown, I'm probably still a quite competitive team at the Perfect level.
And since the rule was in place to make sure I couldn't sell gold+ cards (this is the BFF league rule), I didn't fund my team by selling one big pull. All of this was just built from a good teambuilding and collections strategy. Waddell, Vida, Brecheen, and Sheets are all SE cards which I built myself. I did this by parlaying a bunch of collections together, selling the rewards, redoubling the returns, and just continuing to reinvest PP into collections for players and PP at every opportunity. You don't need pulls to be successful as FTP.
EDIT: For the curious, the team is the Santa Barbara Golden Gophers. If you play Silver or Bronze 32s, you may have seen them. Currently 82 missions completed and 68 tourney wins, though the tourney number is somewhat inflated by when DoDs still paid out 500 PP. That's good enough for 131st in PT universe for completed missions and 6th in PT universe for tourney wins. That gives you a bit of a hint as to where a lot of the PP came from.
