Hey sorry, I must have missed this!

The answer is yes. When you click "assign teams" the file looks at how many teams you said were in your league (cell J7), and adds dummy players to the players it already has. It ALSO adds players to later base years, to make sure it has enough players to fill in the incoming rookies.

If you don't want that and are actively looking for extra random good players to fill in your extra teams, I can put in a switch to prevent the file from creating extra players. Or, you can just put a really low number in cell J7 -- if you tell it you only have like 8 teams, the file will not create any dummy players at all, and nothing else will be affected.
