Manager Career - Players requesting to leave when they're happy

In My Manager Career Mode, I have a number of players asking to leave my club and putting themselves on the transfer list due to lack of playing time, even though they are playing every match and playing very well for my team.  Their morale is as high as it can be in terms of Player Performance, Team Performance, Play Time and Contract in the Squad Hub.

It goes without saying, but I'll say it - If these players weren't playing, then I'd obviously completely understand if they wanted to leave.  However, this isn't the case.

I'm at the start of my fourth season, they are important players for me and hence I don't even want to advance in my Career Mode at the moment, because as things stand, I'll either have to sell the players in January or lose them for free in the summer (they are in the final year of their contracts).  Very frustrating situation.

Really hoping for a fix to this bug/issue, or just confirmation from EA that this is something they would change in a future patch/update (I'd be fine waiting and not playing Career Mode for a few weeks until this is sorted).  Cheers - anyone reading this, have a nice day!
