2HG and triggeres in opponents upkeep

In a 2HG game, a player has Obsessive Skinner in play. How many times does it trigger in the opponents upkeep?
I would say once, since it is a shared upkeep and entering that upkeep is the trigger condition.


Now it gets trickier. Later, a Gibbering Fiend joins the battlefield. How many times does that trigger in opponents upkeep? Mind the “that player” wording. Is this a different trigger event, like Gang of Elk compared to Chub Toad?


Maybe it is as easy as this:
805.4. Each team takes turns rather than each player.

Do I simply replace At the beginning of each opponent's upkeep … that player with At the beginning of each opposing teams upkeep … that team?
