Has anyone completed the album without spending real ££?

I know it's just a game but I'm so frustrated after playing for so long and learning and getting tips and to a high level to still not be able to complete an album ever but I refuse to spend real £ on a mobile game. I currently have 11 stickers left, all either 5* or gold, and nothing decent to trade for them , nothing good coming up in my blue or purple packs, and now barely any dice so not ranking highly enough in tournaments or mini games. Has anyone ever completed an album playing just free? Would love some hope/tips otherwise I think I'm going to have to stop playing completely ☹️
