• I am copying the playerlist shortcode template (player-list.php) so that I can override the team id based on the current team page.
• Requires playerlist_id to work properly.
• Season attribute is optional. If no season then it will rely on the playerlist season setting.
• Goto https://staging.focosme.com/wp-admin/edit.php?post_type=sp_list and create a top scorer for Try and Conversion. Just leave the team blank.
• It will use the settings from the player list post id
• If adde in the team template, this shortcode will just automatically detect the current team page id and autofilter the players based on the current team page.
