The draft is not required for 1871 if you have the right historical teams. The only way to turn it off though is in advanced mode. The wizard does not give you an option. You have to go advanced and unclick hold inaugural fantasy draft.

NB: You will need to download Fhommes historical schedules. There is a problem in 1873 when auto importing the Marylands and Canaries get switched on the schedule, it is kind of a big deal since the Marylands only played 6 games in there short existence. It is easily edited though. The standard game has no 19th century schedules and the schedule generate will not generate a schedule for an odd number team sub league. So you need schedules.

I have played through 1885 with no problems other players staying with their dead team. The game imports the real AA teams into the AL fine. I think it should move them when the AA folds. There should be an issue with league switching if the franchise ids are the same for Lahman. I think he gives different franchise IDs for the team when it is AA and when it is NA.
