My Ted Lasso Regressive (a league loosely based on Premier League Soccer) has two openings for the 2009 season and beyond. This is a 24 team league divided into a top Premier League and lower Championship League with the goal to win the yearly PL title. The top two CL teams are promoted and the bottom two PL teams are relegated. That, combined with a draft lottery for the top 4 spots that includes all-non playoff teams has gone a long way to prevent tanking.

We have two absentee owners so if you act now, you can have the rest of the 2009 season for free. Team rosters listed below...the first is Nottingham Forest, which is in the CL (and just drafted John Smoltz) and the second is Wolverhampton which is in the PL (and just drafted Pedro Martinez).

Hit me up if you have any questions--this has been a great league thus far.
