For example, I would like to start a league in 2002 w/ a rookie Julius Peppers on the Panthers and go from there.
Which files do I need to use during league creation and how do I import them? I don't want to change anything in the files that I don't have to change. I just want to import and go.

You'll actually need on of the other pieces to the puzzle, the roster file from that year. I have some from Nildor's files that were made some years ago covering FOF7 1960-2013, I'll put them in the google drive. It takes a few changes to adapt those to the FOF8 format, but I've taken the liberty of changing over 2002 to FOF8.
To use the files, do this:
1. Start a new game and make sure the top option "Begin game using alternate player file" is set to "Yes". Set the other options on this page to your liking and click "submit".
2. The game will prompt you to chose a player file, choose the FOF8 2002.fdt file. This will put you in the year 2002, after the amateur draft.
3. Next year, just before you start free agency there will be a button that says "Import Draft" at the top. This is the only time you can import a custom draft, so make sure you put it on your checklist of things to do before free agency.
4. Press the "Import Draft" button and it will prompt you to select the season you wish to import. First one would we be 2003.faf.
That's it!
