However I don't want there to suddenly be a whole heap of new players added to the universe (there are enough in the FA pool to feed the leagues) and I don't want these leagues stealing major league level players (cup of coffee and bench players would be ok).
I have questions such as:-
- Is it best to add the leagues on 1 Jan or just after the world series?
- What level should the financials be at?
- How do I add the leagues without adding any players to the universe?
- Will these leagues always get players out of the FA pool or will additional players be generated for these leagues (anyway to stop that if so)?
What are the steps I should follow to ensure that I don't damage the league (yes I will be taking a backup).
Thanks in advance,
Mark

If you add them before Free Agency starts then the new league will sign FA's. But it doesn't matter.
Once you create the league put yourself in commish mode and go team by team and mass delete them (check the blank dot above the players dots on Roster screen, right click delete) This answered 3 also, I think.
Unsure, I want to say that some players will be generated each offseason to the FA pool. Check career stats all levels for new players. Might want to double check player history also. If ghost players and create and maintain hidden players are both unchecked it's not supposed to create new players, but I have seen new players come in a few of my leagues.
Should be good to go, you shouldn't have any major problems.
I always create an Indy league in most of my leagues.
I would suggest putting the financials of the new league at 1900 or before so they make less then what the league ML min is.
