[Bug] Ultimate Team: Bench size limited to 7 players instead of 9

Affected Game Mode: Ultimate Team

Platform: Xbox Series X

Description of the Bug:

In Ultimate Team, the substitutes bench is incorrectly limited to only 7 players. In real-world football, teams are allowed 9 substitutes on the bench, and other modes like Kick-Off already correctly feature 9 bench slots.

Due to this limitation, players cannot use their full, realistic squad depth in this competitive mode.

Video Link of the Bug:

Steps to Reproduce:

- Navigate to Ultimate Team.

- Open the squad screen / team management.

- Verify that the bench size is not 9 players, and that only 7 players can fit on the substitute bench.

Suggested Solution:

Increase the substitute bench capacity in Ultimate Team from 7 to 9 slots to match real-world football standards and other game modes.

    Here is a photo from the squad screen: The substitute bench is currently limited to only 7 players instead of the intended 9. Please fix this limitation to match real-world football standards.
