If I didn't lock him in, then he probably wouldn't play for the rest on the season. It's one of my complaints about "holidaying". I'd love there to be a bit of logic to say "if a player needs a rest, give them a rest" but it'll play them all the time unless red injured or suspended (they'd even get played on an orange injury).
You locked in Suarez, you can see when you came back in Jan he desperately needed a rest but you left him locked in
