AI Squad building issue.

Thank you for raising and providing a save, we will investigate further. 

Looking at the save, Ajax are playing a lot of players from their B Team who are good enough to be squad options but just aren't getting promoted to the first team, which makes this screen look a bit odd.

Looking at their CA/PA and the squad statuses of the B team, a lot of them have high enough PAs that a good manager at Ajax irl would want them to get involved with the first team (12 of them have 139 PA and above), and in-game, 17 players in the B team are labelled 'Breakthrough Prospects'. I'm guessing the first team being trimmed down like this isn't alarming to the AI because these players are coming through the ranks of their youth system as cover, but it's a bit clumsy because of the general problems with AI squad rotation right now. If that's the case, this is actually very, very good - when the rotation issues are sorted and squad building is shaped a little better, this potentially means a team like Ajax could be relying on their youth system to replace outgoing players, which is what they would be doing.

I mean, maybe. I'm looking forward to seeing this unfold in the final version if this is how things can work.
