I've had this happen repeatedly, no idea why some players disappear and some don't.

1) Created 1915 historical league, set up for inaugural fantasy draft.
2) Imported 40 historical players to a team, cloned them to create "clean" free agent versions; deleted the 40 imported players from the team.
3) renamed each one of the clones to represent a Negro League player active that season.

(at this point, all 40 still appeared in the FA list and also in the fantasy draft pool, so everything looked good).

4) I then began editing each player, changing birth date/place and certain ratings as needed. I also zeroed out all service history. I did not change any of the player historical id's.

Of the first 10 players I edited, 6 of them DISAPPEARED from both the FA list and the Draft Pool (the other 4 are showing correctly). I can still search for them and find/open/edit them, and I was able to assign them to a team, but nothing I did subsequently has made them return to either of the player lists. I tried releasing them; rescheduling the draft; cloning the players a second time.

A) what am I doing wrong? Why are only some of the players disappearing?

B) Is there any way to force the missing ones back into the fantasy draft pool, like can I export/re-import the completed players to restore them?
