What is wrong

Remember that by liberating a role, it will not just "jump" to another player your have. It will be an available role for a new signing, as internal roles are fixed, once these are assigned.
So, with 26-27 y.o. will be quite difficult to train him to reach a proper form... I really would check out the team, and think about which players, -that have to be 3-4 mainly- have to be trained more than the rest. The GK is one for sure. Then if that younger 20 aged one plays quite well you can keep him, but if you really want a new amr (as example) with chances to have a good role assigned, you'll need to sell the aml. Still, its posible that if you just have 1 or 2 top performers, there can be space for 1 more, but right now this depend on the other players.

Do roles get reassigned at the start of each season? It seems to they are since players act different at the start of a new season even though there are no changes to the squad except for the addition of a few academy players.

Yes,it's. Because youth players are counted as new sign.

So that means if I identify the roles of each player at the beginning of the season and do not buy or sell any players, then the roles of each player stays the same throughout the entire season?

No. You can see perfectly, for example, how by playing a 4-3-3-with 3sts, there are scorers and STs providing assists.. contributing better, or worst, but this is fixed and you can realize about this after some seasons playing.

Isnt the role exactly, is the Power which changes when a new player joins your squad, the Dominance power in this case, which means that a old good performer can be eclipsed by a new signing, if this have more Dominance power assigned, meaning that he'll take more animation slots than other players, that may have, better effectivity ratio % (so, contributive power, what is effectivity in the chances) so a player can be vanished and eclipsed due this.

The game works per lists, it fills spaces basically, so the more dominance power, the better place in the list/tab.

Then, once a match starts the process is, that the game do the 2 lists, to assign the Attack and Defensive animations to some players, the game never simulates defensive style playing, as the settings exist to give the attack chances to 1 team, so, basically, if a player have a lot of dominance power and you control the match, your attack can feel so stuck and you barely will score 1-2 goals.

Its about recognize the roles, and balance the lines and powers...

Thanks a lot for all your tips. I have a few more questions before I start mapping my team.

1. I know you mentioned scorers, assists, and aggression, are there any other roles than these I need to look for?
2. If a player is a assister and a scorer, does that count as 2 of the 7 assigned roles?
3. Is there a way to "assign" unclaimed roles?
4. What happens if none of the players on the field have one of the 7 roles assigned?
