is your team list on the end correct? maybe the CHW should be CHA? your PHP maybe PHI? NYG - maybe NY1? WHS, maybe WS1 or WAS?

i don't know what exactly the team IDs are in your game, but historically the endings i typed are what the game uses or did use (based on a .csv file i looked at). i am of course assuming your game is a semi- historical and you haven't changed/edited any of the settings on the team ID set-up page.

This may not be the issue, but main option is to try them one at a time, possibly just putting them into FA pool or something, to see if they import without the team listed at the back. If they do, you can edit them to the correct team in commish mode under player edit. If they do, then you know it's the team ID issue. If they don't, then my guess is there's an issue with the player ID not being correct.
