Well this works although its not clear which line is the change.

set(teams).symmetric_difference(set(shuffle_teams))

{('Ally', 2),
 ('Ally', 3), # This is the change Ally changed from 2 to 3
 ('Fredricka', 1), # However here this first line is the change.
 ('Fredricka', 3),
 ('Tim', 1),
 ('Tim', 2)}

Hints?
