Right now, we only see current standings. That shows how teams are performing right now, but not who those teams actually are over time.
Proposed Addition
A simple standings-style screen that includes a few historical/context fields for each team:
Lifetime Record (W–L, Win%)
Playoff Appearances
Championships (WS wins)
Recent Trend (last few seasons/weeks — improving, declining, stable)
Why This Helps
At the start of each week, it’s hard to tell:
Which teams are consistently strong vs just off to a hot start
Which teams were recently promoted and may be overmatched
How tough the league really is overall
Right now, you have to wait ~20–30 games to figure that out.
This would give players that context immediately.
Impact on Gameplay
This wouldn’t change any mechanics — it just improves visibility and decision-making:
Helps determine whether to invest PP early or wait
Adds a “scouting report” feel to each new league
Improves immersion without adding complexity
Optional (Nice-to-Have)
Last season result (promoted/relegated)
Team rating (toggle on/off)
Simple visual trend indicator (↑ ↓ →)
Summary
A lightweight “team profile” view with historical context would make it much easier to understand each league at a glance, especially early in the week. PS: I'm aware some of this is available if I hover over a team name in the standings, but if I'm interested in an overview of the 30 team league it becomes a chore. This suggested display would eliminate that step.

A lot of this exists already: if you go into the team universe, and click "Show only teams in my league", you have most of this.
