All players deserve to be there; they all must have worked hard to make the list even if the season has not gone as expected for some as they would have wanted in their respective clubs.
Since there will still be a cutdown on the list, it is left for the players to fight and merit their positions.
I agree with what you said, because every player has the right to fight for his team to get to the next round, and every player has the right to be in the position they want as long as they fulfill the conditions that have been set, because their struggle to get into the big competition is so big that they can determine their own direction and can be considered by their managers and coaches whether they have the right to be in that position or not, they have passed everything one by one so that they can fight for their respective clubs to go to the next round, that's all. it goes back to their respective teams whether they can fight or not.
