I think it's just a case of creating a blank ADF file from the 
WinUAE software, load Workbench in your emulation, load the new 
'floppy' in the DF0: position and formatting it like a normal disk. 
Then it should be ready for saving. Usually by pressing f12 during 
the game when you need to save and loading that 'disk' into the 
df0: position.

However I've never played Player Manager so i'm not sure of the 
actually save mechanism in the game but this usually work for 
others.
