Inactive players still play

I use a lot of overides for all my teams and the problem with this is when you change a corner to the opposite side on a certain formation, or sub anyone anywhere and then later want to deactivate him .He will still play in those formations even if he's inactive. The reason this is a problem is the time it takes to make overides and then you want to rest a player or sit him you have to reset the overide formations. This could be looked at as a positive considering it allows all 53 players to see the field if you wanted . But I have tried to sit players cause they are hurt or to rest for playoffs. Then that player playing 5-10 plays and getting injured. Only way to prevent this is to remember what overide formations you changed and its not easy .
Here's gotta be an easier way to make a player who's deactivated get erased from any overrides he was in . It's preventing me from doing them like I usually like to do. I've sat doubtful players and then see them every so often in a game.

And, of course, to automatically re-apply them when Activated.

I didn't realize that inactive players still play under these circumstances - and it's not good!
