I've been around here a long time and two things come to mind. One is that my mind tells me that the in-game AI handled this properly in the old version (6.0, 6.5 and maybe before), though I wouldn't stake my life on it.
The other is that experience tells me that I don't like the chances of seeing this ever work as it should. I went to the trouble of reporting the failure to properly "re-shuffle" defensively in both 13 and 14 as a bug, and you can see what that has accomplished.
I'll only hope that if the issue continues, and users continue to notice it and complain, maybe the developer(s) will eventually make it right.

We always look to improve things. We had in our mind to make an extra look through player substitution logic, but essentially ran out of time. I think for next year we'll take another look to improve things.
But keep in mind, it's incredibly hard to get "right". If we shift guys around for a more optimal positioning, we'll get people complaining about the AI using too many bench players, or that they ended up shifting 3 guys for a marginal upgrade. There's definitely room for improvement, but so much depends on who's on field and who's available, we'll try our best.
