I'd like to start an online league where 2 human players take over expansion teams and the rest of the teams are managed by AI.

1). Is this possible?
2). What settings would be recommended?
3). Is there a fast way to quick start the league at the point of expansion? or do you just have to sim up to that point?

Thanks for any tips/advice for a new person to OOTP.

Thanks,
