I'm asking because in a league I was running in version 11, I waited until a couple of weeks after the season was over to expand by four teams, but when I looked at the standings for the completed season in the almanac, the four expansion teams appeared there with 0-0 records.

So what is the right time to make these types of changes so that it does not have a detrimental effect on the records for the previous season?

Thanks.

I always expand in December. I do it on the 1st day of FA for my league.
Now while in my example Anderson shows a 0-0 record going back to 2003 which is when my league started. After the 2015 season is over I have always seen this revert back to the teams 1st season, which for Anderson will be 2015. You can see the other expansion years of 2004, 2009 & 2012 for my other teams. The 4 new teams will show 2015 after my current season. Don't know why it shows 2003 for now.
