My top two teams have fallen into the Gold-Diamond shuttle, where they make the playoffs every season in Gold but get get sand kicked in their faces by Diamond teams. A little short of the prize, and a little disappointing for the San Diego Sharks, who were oh so close to making Perfect League this cycle.

On the bright side, I started a new team (FTP with PT+) 30 days ago, and it's gone really well. Currently 43-13 in Bronze after dominating the first three levels and winning the title each week. I'm laser-focused on Negro Leagues and PT Elite plus daily Iron tournaments, where I've won or finished second quite a few times and grabbed Diamond choice packs.

Just completed the Negro League set, dropped Oscar Charleston into the two slot and center field, and also added Bill Foster to the rotation. Current team is insanely good for Week 5:

Ca - NeL Josh Gibson / PT Elite Jonah Heim
1B - PT Elite Freddie Freeman
2B - PT Elite Mookie Betts
3B - HoF Scott Rolen (good at the purchase price)
SS - PT Elite Bo Bichette (also have NeL Home Run Johnson on reserve)
LF - PT Elite Evan Carter and NeL Roy Parnell
CF - Charleston
RF - PT Elite Corbin Carroll
DH - PT Elites Juan Soto / Yandy Diaz

PT Elites Matt McLain and Nolan Jones on the bench.

Rotation:

PT Elite Shane McClanahan
Bill Foster
PT Elite Framber Valdez
PT Elite Tarik Skubal
NeL John Donaldson (keeps it all lefties)

Bullpen:

NeL Hilton Smith and Satchel Paige as stoppers
PT Elite Devin Williams at closer
NeL Dan Bankhead and Bullet Joe Rogan
PT Elite Luis Castillo and Zach Eflin

I'll play this team out through end of cycle, which is getting really close now. Just need NL East to wrap the PT Elite toppers and then hope for some good card pulls to get the final two (Acuna and Cole).
