He's 25 and at that age is kind of unlikely to reach those POT numbers. That's of course, if your scouting report of the guy is still accurate and he didn't have a massive talent dump over the course of the season, which is known to happen. I can actually see the logic in this, although I think the vast majority of teams would still employ the sunk cost fallacy in keeping him. I mean, I don't see a particular reason for leaving him off the 40 man unless there's truly no place for him, but it's not *completely* nonsensical.

Perhaps that should be a larger part of the game - they should keep using players they spent a lot of capital on for longer than they should - but that would also make the AI act less intelligently as it currently does, and one complaint you hear over and over from people is that the AI makes it too easy to build dominant teams.
