Destroy GameObject in list then instantiate GameObject not working

Hi guys,

I have a script which adds players to the game but once you decide you want less players then what you have chosen, the instantiated players can't be instantiated again.

It sounds a bit confusing but bare with me, Here is the script to try and help out a bit.

 public class players 
     {
         public int playerNum;
 
         public players (int num)
         {
             playerNum = num;
         }
     }
 
 public int playersPlaying = 1;
 
 List<Transform> myList = new List<Transform> ();
 
 int addPlayers = 0;
 
 bool gameStart = false;
 
 public players newPlayers = new players (1);
 
 public GameObject playerGameObject;
 
 void Update ()
 {
     if (playersPlaying > 0 && !gameStart)
     {
         if (newPlayers.playerNum != playersPlaying)
         {
             newPlayers = new players (playersPlaying);
         }
     }
 
     //Debug.Log (newPlayers.playerNum);
     if (gameStart)
     {
         CreatePlayers ();
     }
 }
 
 void CreatePlayers ()
 {
     if (gameStart)
     {
         if (addPlayers < playersPlaying)
         {
             GameObject go = Instantiate (playerGameObject);
             addPlayers++;
             go.name = "Player " + (addPlayers);
             go.tag = addPlayers.ToString();
             myList.Add (go.transform);
         }
         if (addPlayers > playersPlaying)
         {
             for (int i = 0; i < myList.Count; i++){
                 if(int.Parse(myList[i].tag) > playersPlaying) {
                     Destroy (myList[i].gameObject);
                     myList.RemoveAt(i);
                 }
             }
         }
     }
 }
 
 public void playersUp ()
 {
     if (!gameStart)
     {
         if (playersPlaying != 4)
         {
             playersPlaying++;
         }
     }
 }
 
 public void playerDown ()
 {
     if (!gameStart)
     {
         if (playersPlaying != 1)
         {
             playersPlaying--;
         }
     }
 }
 
 public void gameBegin ()
 {
     gameStart = !gameStart;
 }

So what I am after is that once the playerGameobject is destroyed then it can later be instantiated again.

Kind Regards,
