There's an aweful lot of teenagers who are getting released by their clubs.)

Basically, I was wondering if there is a practical way to start a new league....maybe a high-level amateur league based in the US....and have them sign some of the guys on the FA list. I do not want the new league to create new players ever, and just utilize the currently existing FAs. I thought if I turned off the initial draft, and turn off the rookie draft, it might still create a new talent pool specifically for the new league anyway.

Is there anyway to prevent a new league from ever creating any new players, and only signing FAs from existing leagues in a universe? Or should I just add another level of minors to one or more of my existing professional leagues; keeping the number of first year player draft rounds the same? Or is it time for holding an expansion draft? Just wondering how other people may handle this.
Not possible. I know you don't really want to do this, but you could always delete a lot of those players.

There's also an option in game setup to delete players who never reach the majors. That will keep young guys who get released from other teams from winding up in the FA Pool.
