Hello Elliot,

I changed it to:

publicic function pre_populate_teams_dropdown( $field ) {
	global $post;
	//var_dump( $post );
	$field['choices'] = array();

	$apollo_home_args = array(
		'post_type' => 'teams',
		'nopaging' => true,
	);

	$apollo_home_teams = get_posts( $apollo_home_args );

	if( count( $apollo_home_teams ) > 0 ) :
		foreach( $apollo_home_teams as $team ) {
			$field['choices']['Apollo'][ $team->ID ] = get_the_title( $team->ID );
		}
	endif;

	$apollo_away_args = array(
		'post_type' => 'opponents',
		'nopaging' => true,
	);

	$apollo_away_teams = geT_posts( $apollo_away_args );

	if( count( $apollo_away_teams ) > 0 ) :
		foreach( $apollo_away_teams as $team ) {
			$field['choices']['Apollo'][ $team->ID ] = get_the_title( $team->ID );
		}
	endif;

	return $field;
}

This works, however it strikes me as odd. The function get_posts uses WP_Query too and the wp_reset_postdata() filter makes sure the $post variable is restored. So somehow the $post variable isn’t reset the way it should.
