Best way to get created players into draft

[Crowbar]

I am starting a new historical game (real rookies etc.) from 1901. With a slight twist, I'm creating a bunch of handmade fictional players starting as rookies.

I have a layout out of which year I want each one to be inserted into the yearly draft.

Now, my question is, how would I do this? Normally I can create fictional players via commish mode, but I am not sure how to make sure they are into a draft?

When you create players, one of the options on the pop-up is "Draft Eligibility". Your choices are "Not eligible" or "Eligible for next draft".

Results should be self explanatory.

Blue's way works. the way i do it is when the draft pool is announced, i add a few fictional players into the draft and then edit them. i tend to clone mLers and the make my changes to them.
import Ernie Banks, clone him, delete the original and then change the clone into Chuck Berry, Hank Aaron as Elvis, Ted Williams as Roy Hobbs.You can tell the difference from the original player and the clone as the original with have a historical/real stats tab in his card.
I will also use a text file for the players I plan on cloning each year (see attached)
