I start lots of different leagues and using a fictional world with real world players is not as difficult as it seems.
You do have a couple of choices, you can start as historical and not use the automatic expansion, doing what you want when you want; you can start a fictional league and using the league history/rules section, you can just mark the box that bring in the historical players.
The latter can be achieved in two ways, you can set up your ficitional league and at the same time, set up a historical league and when you start the game, simply delete the historical league and the players all become free agents. Or you can start your ficitional league, import the teams from the 1871 (or whatever year you want to start in) on the edit league setup and delete them, agani making the players all free agents. These two options can give you more work, depending on how you want the league to be, in both cases it will be mixed fictional and real players or you can add step in to get rid of the ficitional players.
Easiest way to do that, before you delete the teams from the real league, simply go to the league menu, select all the players from the fictional league and delete them. Then delete the historical league and the players are the only ones available to use.
You do have to make sure that once you start the league, you assign the correct location for the database you want to use in the league set up section or you will be left with fictional players again.
If this is not clear, which it may not be, I can try to clear it up.
Hope this helps somewhat.
