Hybrid 50/50 Teams Available Soon?

A quick check on the currently-available Conference Championship teams and an assumption that those teams will get a couple additional items and have their Playoff items boosted with a x3 NFL Team Chemistry option leaves open the possibility of having two teams on a lineup each boosted to 50/50. If each team has 8 items they can tuck away for a triple-chem boost, that means you only have to come up with 52 more NFL Team Chemistries from among 37 remaining lineup spots, and between a Team Affinity Strategy Item, up to four Stocking Stuffers, perhaps a pair of Team Diamonds, the Zero Chill Long Snapper, and a handful of Team Builders heroes, this might not be that hard.

Please correct me if i'm way off base here, but wouldn't it potentially be more advantageous to run a more hybrid type theme team, since Crystals players can only impact one team, perhaps folks begin dabbling with the 50/20/20, plus whatever flavor of the month?

I see all the streamers and Comp guys have started following the 50/60 Theme Team + 50/50 Collector Series, although i haven't quite been able to wrap my simple brain around how those various CS boosts work; Mythic, Drip, etc. something, something... i have a feeling before we're able to comfortably run the dual 50/60 + 50/60 theme teams, that we'll be at or near the max 99 SPD ratings, which will make the team building less impactful for some of the most high end players and cards.

Four total cards have x3 chems, then a ~half dozen, or so Playoffs cards currently have x2 chems, plus all the various team builders, etc.  MIGHT be feasible if you ran something liek Pats/Bitch Pigeons, or any of the four currently active teams.  May ultimately depend how many of these cards end up getting the entire division chems.

Good luck, extremely interesting question, looking forward to learning whatever you figure out here.

Once you start running hybrids, you have a primary question: Do the respective strengths of each team complement one another? If not, there's no point in building it. [Exit flow chart]

If so, you start digging a little. With program champions closing on 99 OVR, many of their key attributes are already hitting the critical thresholds. Will you need Crystal Release Two, Three, or Four set for an incremental boost to AGI, ACC, or COD in any case? These trios may start to disappear fairly soon. As for Crystal Release One, it's three players. It's likely you'll find a spot for an HB, a LEDG, and a CB.

Of course, much depends on whether EA will stick to form with the winning-team NFL Team Chemistry boosts, and whether the players to be released are suitable for contributing to chemistry boosts.

I am currently at 50 49ers / 20 Eagles / 20 Playoffs / 25 Ghosts / 20 ZC  and would love to get some more speed on my Vick cards.. hmmm what to do...

I went from a full 65 Packers team then tried to do a Collector Series hybrid then a Packers/Niners/Playoffs hybrid. Ended up right back where I started. There's enough 32 teams players that I have a hard time believing the meta build isnt just gonna be one of the two SB teams plus full crystals.

Yeah, I don't think it will be possible with teams that didn't make it to the Conference Championship. Definitely not worth running the Team Diamonds Strategy Item.
