Nonsense. A large number of 1st team players remain from last season, and that was a season you didn't have a FM game to see. The new scholars are added, plus those that were added for the previous season. There hs been a huge amount of backroom staff changes. There is a vast amount of club data changed. In total many thousands of Saints data changes since FM24. Even though new signings are largely done by their old researchers, I tweaked some of the new players.
