In my opinion, it's more like to make old players more useful, hence incentivize users to keep them longer, and along the way spend a lot of greens to keep them up. Before it's all young and fast trainers, now you need to balance old players with playstyle experience as well.

The transfer market will also be much less monolithic. More players with rare combination will attract bids as well.

The reason why they have invented this to only particular batch of players might be that, judging from not even one of the scouts in the list is unable to acquire a playstyle.

After all, right, that’s a manipulation however it’s how the things work in the world in general. I wish Nords took initiative and tend their motives to the opposite and alleviate us to play the game more on our own freely.
