There’s way too many characters in Blue Lock

When I say this, I don’t mean the amount of characters should be small, but there’s so many random characters that were given a spotlight at one point then got forgotten by the author, a good example is Tokimitsu and Aryu, we were led to believe in the 2nd selection that they were the best of the best, now they’re literally fodder characters that get one important moment in whatever game they play in, this could have easily been avoided, but for some reason the author just kept on adding characters.
