Players should be getting "Locked off" to give the story stakes again and fix character juggling issues

Just my opinion, but I really believe characters should be getting left behind during these next matches. It's still Blue Lock after all and scoring goals is all that matters. Yet it feels like Ego is already satisfied with the players he has on the field? Thought this was about destroying 200+ strikers to become the one and only best for Japan?

Plus it would help GREATLY trim the fat of having so many characters that have already completed their arcs to leave gracefully and give more screen time to those who desperately need to finish their emotional journey already in evolving. Like really Bachira isn't doing much out on the field and he's already had a few arcs that have solidified his character now. What is he going to do in the future besides being a background piece for Isagi?

Heck KARASU a nobody got more character development than any of the OGs we've had for a while lol.
