19th century history league--import players as free agents

Start a historical league in 1871 with historical minors switched on. Delete the standard teams that are created and create your own league structure (i.e., re-create the National Association). Sim to the end of the season.

If you have the amateur draft on, then the new players for 1872 will be in the draft pool.

If you have the amateur draft switched off (import as free agents checked), then you will get no (zero) new players for 1872.

A draft is required for 19th century leagues.
Not until 1901 can you switch off the draft.
This is by design.

During some patches importing as free agents has worked. Most not.
