Well, all three of my teams are in gold this week. The Cluckers and Irregulars are there for the first time, while Los Perros just avoided relegation down to Silver last week.

The Cluckers have stumbled out of the gate after a strong 2029 season in Silver, posting one of the worst records in their Gold league. The team is hoping to add some depth at catcher, third base, and pitching in the near future, but the best they can probably hope for right now is avoiding relegation.

The Irregulars are muddling at around .500 so far this season. The offense has been solid, but Randy Johnson, who won 22 in the Silver league last year, is posting almost a 10 ERA so far.

Los Perros were 73-89 last season, but the same exact squad has started off the 2030 season strong with a 27-17 record, just 2.5 games out of the division lead. So far, big bounce-back seasons from Maddux, Lyons, Cano, and Yastrzemski have made the difference.

The Cluckers are almost finished with all of the live collection missions, while the Irregulars and los Perros have completed the live collection missions. The general strategy for all three FTP teams post-collection missions is to win packs from tournaments and flip cards in the auction house. Rather than incremental improvements, the goal is to amass as much PP as possible and target high end cards (or luck into them through packs). It's a long game strategy.
