The hard ones are like the last NL set, when the cards are released with the missions.

Nice, I envy you guys :P
I don't know how you guys do these missions without some luck. I've gotten no luck in mission pack pulls at all this year, perfects I've gotten mostly worth the minimum or up to maybe 50k. I did pull a Campanella yesterday, prob my best pull. But I've never found the reward for selling the 100-rated players from player missions to be worth what I'd have to pay for the mission cards required to complete the missions and get them. So I don't get the "PT strategy" folks like to tout - those cards are worth 20K now and most diamonds required to get them run about 4-8K each. It doesn't work unless you're hawking the card shop 12 hours a day and looking for the best deals (my buy orders almost never get fulfilled unless I put them several K over Last-10 value).
It's funny seeing everyone play this game like they're all New York City diamond jewelers trying to squeeze out every last penny from each person for diamond chips that are worth almost nothing. I find it boring to watch my teams rotting in Gold and the rare occasion moving up to Diamond for a season, and I have too much going on in life and can't sit on the card shop 12 hours a day selling all of my iron players for 5-10 extra PP above minimum. It feels like Perfect Team is for whales who don't mind throwing down $300 or for people who spend all their time hawking even their janky cards or who have the tourney strategy mastered.
I acknowledge I must be missing some of the strategy, as I can't seem to win tournaments or perfect drafts (occasionally I do alright) so I never get card returns from those. So I accept some of the blame there. But the strategy doesn't always follow the stats, and I see cards that perform better than their card ratings show they should. So the strategy seems somewhat arbitrary. I shrug.
