Recommendation for next lens - Portraits and large group photography

I recently purchased the 18-135 lens which I love.

I am taking portraits of the team and also a few large group photos.

I have a 24 mm wide angle which is alright.

The things I am considering for the portrait is the 85mm and then for a wide-angle 10-18 or 10-22.

Things I read about the 'best' wide angle is the 85mm... so if that is the case to capture large groups, would I need the 10-18 or 10-22?

If the one that I already have, the 18-135 would do a wide angle, then is the 85 good for the portraits?

Thanks!

FWIW, not sure what lens I used but I took photos of my grandson's baseball team, honoring the seniors. I don't have a WA lens but backed up enough on the field to get everyone in the photo.

"so would I just get the 50 mm for both protraits and the group shots?"

Re-red my post(s). Do not understand?  You do not need the 50mm, if you must buy the 10-22mm zoom.
