Missing players on draft list

I have only been in a few auto leagues but I want to know why some players are not available to me to draft or substitute on my roster. For example why can’t I draft John McGraw in my new league while I play against him in my current League? I don’t think it’s fair to have some players available to only some teams. Am I missing something?

Welcome to the game, ahaz. I'm going to copy your question the the All Time Greats forum where you have a better chance of getting your question answered. Are you playing in leagues with 2 different player sets?

Sometimes if you have two browser windows opened, it takes you back to one team -- and that particular player pool, where McGraw may already be on another team. Otherwise, of course, you should be able to draft McGraw in a new league. Just check browser windows opened, and exit the old league.

Unless the two leagues you are referencing are using different player sets, I have no idea.

A more in-depth explanation of how McGraw is unavailable to you might help me understand.

I’m playing in an atg 9 auto league that has Mc Graw on a team. I am also forming an auto draft for another Atg 9 league. The league has not been formed yet and I did not rank my players. When I go through the draft list I can’t find him. Does this make any sense? Maybe I’m missing something.

Do you have one of the search filters on by accident?

No

This is a problem that I've never seen and I've had 460+ teams.

McGraw's 2 cards are for the years 1899 and 1900.

My guess is that you're unknowingly using the ATG 9 1901+ player set where McGraw doesn't have a card.

To use either of McGraw's cards, you have to be using the ATG 9 All Eras player card set.

If you're using the ATG 9 All Eras player card set, McGraw can easily be found by entering his name in the player search box.
