Franchise Mode

Just went into season three in my league with online members, we were recruiting people to join which they did during offseason week. Most users had to leave and join back cause their coaches got fired automatically but we went into season three and people can’t join cause it says the league is full but there’s open teams. I have the Madden 25 companion app and I just found out that there’s two previous members that been left still in the league and it won’t let me boot them.
