It is frustrating seeing TOTY Bale on every team as well; but I realized I've done 5 of the 88+ Icon Picks which had I saved my fodder I could have Bale too instead of the random Icons I did get. I did get Thierry Henry in this last one so that's better than all the discards. . .lol.
When it comes to TOTY I've done so many of the 83x10s, 82x20s, league upgrades and hit none and constantly see people who were lucky. I'm in Div 3 which means, most people there with me grind this game and many of them spend ALOT more money than me. So I understand they very likely may have TOTY's and I don't.
Unfortunately, it is part of this game. If you are in a higher Div and don't spend hundreds if not thousands of dollars, you'll likely always be facing these teams with all the top end promo cards. That's where the grinders are, the upper divisions. Div 3 is arguably the best "bang for your buck" rewards so many of them just stay there and purposefully don't get promoted.
