sometimes selecting "have ai setup complete org." [sic] from 'available actions' in 'rosters and transations' will fix it too.

if you don't want ghost players and it's only happening rarely, add a couple rounds to the draft. if the problem is happening at ~rookie level, you'll want to consider how long players say there...

e.g. let's say ~3 years... 2 extra rounds is 6 more players for rookie teams, typically in that context for every team. so, consider time * # of rounds added per level of the problem, if localized. if rookies are often a couple short, but not more than 5, this is going to solve that problem. (over-simplified)

any change you make can take upto 10 years or more to see full turnover in MiL. so, the problem may not be solved after 1 year of new settings.
