That actually can be quite easy to determine, depending on what your overall approach is.

Basically, you can do it by player ID number. First, you need to know with some accuracy how many historical players you have in your the league. They will always have ID numbers lower than that. The fictional players will always have higher ID numbers (usually at the next higher 100). So, this makes it easy in Excel. If you are trying to deal with it from within the game, and you don't have actual pictures for the historical players, then it is a little more trial-and-error. The best indicator I think is that the fictional players will not have "real stats" in their profiles. So, if you think someone might be fictional, then check that in their profiles. Hope that helps.
