Im playing a fictional league and want to create a player or two. Would also like to create a prospect every year. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

On your league FA page there is an option (along the bottom) to create a player. Once created you can edit him as you like.

You have to be in Commish Mode to do this.

From the OOTP Manual
Creating Fictional Players

Commissioners have the ability to create fictional players from the Free Agents, Draft Pool, and Show All Players pages. For example, if your free agent pool is a little thin, a commissioner could add a handful of new players. To create fictional players, click on the Create Fictional Player button at the bottom of the page. You will see a dialog box with a number of options:

OptionDescription Position/RoleYou can choose a specific position for the player, or choose to have the game determine the player's position (or positions) randomly. Player TypeDefines the general characteristics of the player. You can choose from four options:

Established: Creates a player who is probably older, with current ratings closer to his potential ratings.
Young & Slightly Established: Creates a young player, but not so young that he hasn't developed at all.
Very young and raw: Creates a very young player, who has not developed much yet.
Draft eligible prospect: Creates a new prospect with no experience at all.

Draft EligibilityDefines whether this player will be eligible for the next first-year player draft in the current league. You can choose to make the player eligible, or not. If you choose to make the player eligible, he will appear in the next draft. If you choose not to make the player eligible, he will be a free agent. Destination LeagueDefines the league to which the player initially belongs. Number of PlayersYou can create any number of players at once using the criteria defined.

Once you have set your options, click the Create Player(s) button to have the player(s) created. The game will give you a list of the players created and their positions.
