Quote from shane6783 >> Is it safe to assume if you are going for one of the players you will need 10 Offense/Defense Shields plus the players...Just like the 98 chain released a little bit ago?

 Yes, Nick said they will have similar resource requirements as other 98 TOTY players, so I would assume it is:

10 Shields 5 87+ CR 10 82+ CR 30 Badges 1 90+
