You can setup a fictional league to emulate this real league that you are in, except that OOTP does not allow a promotion and relegation setup in the game. Though you can manually promote and relegate the teams yourself at the end of the season, it's not exactly the same. And yes, it will probably take a long time to enter in all the players, but this should be easier with the new player editor.

Hope that answers your questions. Good Luck.

Spot on, cheers mate!
