MSer. Good question. That is addressed in likely FAQs no. 10, which states:
10. Q: What happens if I'm unable to meet the minimum roster requirement of 18 players from my past team?
A: The goal here is to be able to substantially recreate a favorite team from the past to give it another shot at a ring, while at the same time recognizing that some players may become unavailable due to being on more than one past team and also recognizing a desire to "tweak" the past team to give it a greater chance to win. The only circumstance that would prevent a team from meeting the 18 past team players minimum roster requirement is if there are fewer than 18 players remaining available from your past team to fill the roster spots. In other words, to the extent that there are past team players available to meet the 18 player minimum roster requirement, they must be used to meet the minimum roster requirement of 18 past team players. If no such players remain available, each roster spot under the 18 minimum may only be filled by a player costing $.5 mil, so it is important to fill your 18 player minimum early to avoid having to pick an undesirable $.5 mil roster filler player. The reason for the minimum roster requirement of 18 players from the past team is twofold: a) to substantially recreate the past team; and b) to prevent someone from drafting a team substantially different than the past team. Because of the 18 player minimum, it is important to identify those players who may be claimed by other past teams and to draft those players early.
I hope the above explanation helps.
