Free agent problem in historical league

italyprof · 04-08-2016, 08:57 PM

I just completed a great first season in a 1940 historical league with historical minors, having run an inaugural fantasy draft, letting the AI select my team's players and making a couple of key trades to fill holes.

The season goes smoothly, but then just as I am getting to the First Year Player Draft for the following season I start getting messages that my team is bleeding free agents.

I have reserve clause on (since it is 1940 anyway that is even the default), and I have financial system off.

But there is a large pool of free agents from various teams, major and minor leagues. I ran a free agent draft simming the whole thing to distribute these among all the teams, and then the First Player Draft was suddenly full of fictional players, which should be impossible.

Aargh ! this kind of thing hasn't happened to me since my first leagues playing this game, and I was very happy with this one.

Why would there be free agents in 1940? And how did a slew of fictional players suddenly show up in a historical league with historical rookies?
