If I was yourself I'd

1) start a historical game in 1947
2) move the players you want from wherever they are onto the team you wish (many may already be there)
3) freeze the rosters
4) make a backup
5) play the game without changing nothing at all nor anything else

For subsequent seasons start at #2

Thanks, Spritze.

I'll give it a try.
