When creating a league, players from json are imported, but seem to be assigned to random teams as it they are being fantasy drafted.

Also are there changes in the json between CF 21 and CF 22? Player exports from 21 are not importing to 22 in any way- not from the league creation screen, or when added after league creation. Opening a CF 21 league in CF 22 and exporting from there seems to work.

Another quick follow-up on this:

it appears the only way to import a full json of player data into a new save with players assigned to the correct teams, is to create a league, manually delete EVERYONE one by one, and then import players from the commish screen. This is obviously not feasible.

Even if you try to start the league with blank or incomplete rosters so there is less deletion needed, the game freezes before it finishes creating the league, so that's out.

Can you share your import file on slack so I can try it out? Thanks!
