Since the players involved tend to be close in ability, I doubt that this behavior has a significant adverse impact on how well AI teams do during a season. But it would be difficult to test that, I think.

related: is the behaviour also built at the minors level? something i feel the AI just moves guys between A+ and A teams (technically almost same level in OOTP), just to optimize line-ups on a daily basis. so they make sure tehy have subs there available.
