Not enough draftable players

Custom online league.

The first entry draft is a mess.

First of all, all players are Free Agents, even though I have 14 junior leagues created.

And then I found this problem with the amount of draftable players in the first Entry Draft. At the moment there are 13 teams in the Major league. The amount of draftable players are just enough to cover the 7 rounds. But we will expand the league with up to 3 new teams if there are guys on the waiting list. I did the math, and with 16 teams there are not enough players to cover 7 rounds.

So I obviously tried to add players, just to discover that the bug I reported years ago are still in the game, that makes created players undraftable their first year of existance.

How do I fix this? (This only applies in the first entry draft).

Also. Please. To future games, let us:
* Set an age cut-off day for entry drafts (you already have the rule in standard game, why can't I add it to a custom league?)
* Let us decide min and max age in junior leagues.
* Let drafted players that signs in another league have the option to add a release clause in their contracts (you already have this in standard game, why can't I add it to custom league?)
* Let us decide how the waiver rule should work. I have it on, but it is not in use. Probably because no players have played in the league for two seasons yet. Do I have to wait two seasons before waivers can have any effect?

A few days away from the first Entry Draft. Had 3 Expansion Teams. The Draft Class covers six and a half rounds. Teams have seven picks. That doesn't add up.
