Jamie is hyped as one of the best players in the league in season 1 and now he's just fodder lol. Even Roy admits in his prime he'd still lose to Zava. This should be an anime.

Each season is a new football season, so naturally more players come in, and the power rankings shift.

What is Zava's character supposed to be? He was an arrogant prick when first introduced but is now the ultimate teammate and super chill. Thought he'd be more of a diva.

He wasn't really arrogant. Just... Quirky. Which is why he responds so well to people that either challenge him, or completely agree with him.

That's the theme of his character, and you see it both ways.

He has never really had anybody just... Be middling, with him. Either they hate him or they love him, so that's what he responds to. And, to be fair, that's not really a spoiler. It's his character the entire time, and you get an appreciation for it when you realize that.

Jamie Tartt = Amalgamation of Jack Grealish and Ronaldo
Roy Kent = Roy Keane
Zava = Zlatan

Yeah, Zava was for sure based on Zlatan. They admitted it, and specifically picked an actor that looked like him.

If you mean the actual footballers, all you really need to know is that Ted Lasso, for as silly as it can be, grounds itself in a lot of real football, and based several of its characters on actual footballers. You don't really need to actually know who they are or what they did to appreciate the characters, though. It's more of a... Wink wink, nod nod.

And, honestly, that's what makes Ted Lasso so great. If you know what they're winking toward, you appreciate it so much more. But even if you don't, you can still enjoy it wholeheartedly.

...Do you not watch Ted Lasso? I feel like the context should have clued you in to what these posts were about. If you don't even watch Ted Lasso, why did you enter a topic about Ted Lasso?

Tart is basically an amalgamation of famous, in the spotlight footballers like that in general, so yeah, Beckham would be one. He's not based on any single one in particular.

That's less ego and more... Legitimately how people react to him, and so that's the way he has come to be. Zava's character is very ingrained in how people react to him, which drives the character, as you'll see. Zava himself doesn't have an ego as much as... That's what he has grown accustomed to, and likewise, it's why he shifts to the "bro" personality so easily, since... It's in reaction to the rest of the players (Atleast, most of them) so desperately wanting to be his friend/like him.

EDIT: tl;dr: Zava is less of a diva than Tart, for example, and more just... He's a product of how people react to him, and has never really thought for himself.

Ted Lasso is a fictional TV series about footballing/soccer. The "power creep" is that, in season 1, we are introduced to a character who is an "all star," so to speak, but as the seasons continue on (each series season reflects a season of football/soccer), we are introduced to a few new characters that are better than the "all star" we previously knew.

Hope that helps.
