TED LASSO LEAGUE 2023-2

Nothing but great managers in this one!

Next season, I will have 2 teams in AAA and Spider 67 will have 2 teams in AA.

Let's make a deal!

I will take a look at which of the teams I've ruined and see which one you can take to better days.

Terry, I'll keep my Sennacherib Conquest team and release the Ninkasi Brew team for either of your teams, if you want to trade.

Terry: Looks like the Plaguemarines remain in Premier, so with the Sugar Babies and Oaks now in AAA, we can swap ownership of those two teams back again as we discussed before the season.

Yes, agreed

OK, I'll need to take a look at the Bums and the Sugar Babies.

I'm just surprised Dom Fletcher qualified. But it's fun to see him slot in behind Alvarez, Ohtani, and Betts -- and above Altuve, Soto, and Acuna for runscreated/27outs
