$70M, Unpopular Players Whitelist
After the second salary update, I will determine which players saw their salary decrease twice. These are the players that are eligible to be rostered. Other than that, no restrictions.

EDIT
You can now enter your SPECIFIC LEAGUE to help you search for the eligible players.

Q/A for 70M Theme:

Q: I just noticed that 6 players can be excluded. Does that mean that 6 of my players do not have to be on the list?
A: No. That option appears in every theme league. it's a default that doesn't apply. You physically can't draft somebody not on the whitelist.

$80M, Improve a Real Team
Build your roster by selecting any single-season (1920 or later) real-life team (i.e., 2015 Cubs) and use just the players from that team (no twisting). You may improve this team by adding up to two players from the same season (but from a different team) to your roster. For players who might have been traded during the year, you must use the partial version of the player where he just played for your selected team. Since this theme uses a low salary cap, many of the popular real-life teams (i.e., ’27 Yankees) will not be viable options. You may also supplement your roster with any sub-$300K players from your season (regardless of team). You are not required to use every player from your team’s roster. For example, if your team has 27 available players, you can choose to use just 21 of those players, add your two improvement players and fill in the rest of the roster with sub 300K players.

Q/A for 80M Theme:

Q: Do you have to add two players or can you add only one or zero?
A: You may add 0 or 1, if you wish.

Q: Do both players you add need to be from the same team?
A: You can add 2 players from the same team or from two different teams.

Q: Could you use the combined or partial season of a player on your team when he played for an alternate team as one of your additions? I.e. 2010 Rangers, using the 2010 Seattle Cliff Lee?
A: Yes, this is allowed.

$100M, Three Year Franchise Twist
Pick a franchise and three consecutive years for that franchise. You can use any player who appeared in at least one game for that franchise during any of those three years – and can twist them to use any season you want (even if it’s for another team and/or a year other than those three years).

Other Specifics

Q/A for 100M Theme:

$110M, Eighteen Millionaires
You must roster exactly 18 players whose salary is at least $1 million. Also, your 18 players must be from 18 consecutive seasons. You have two options on how you choose these 18 players.

All players must be from a single franchise
All players must be from eighteen different franchises (i.e., franchise soup)

Note that for the second option, the years 1932-1944 are unavailable, since it's impossible to get 18 unique franchises during this time period.

The other 7 players on your roster must have salaries below $1 million and must also come from any of those 18 seasons. If you choose the single franchise option, the 7 sub-millionaires must be from 7 different franchises (none from your single franchise selection). If you choose the franchise soup option, the 7 sub-millionaires must come from any single franchise (including one of the 18 franchises you selected). You may use more than one player per season for the sub-millionaires

Q/A for 255M Theme:

Keep in mind that the salaries are going to change in early June, so you may want to wait a bit before building teams, except the 255M theme.
