No. 10 probably being reserved for when we sign Messi.
No.16 seems to be little used as well. Going back through my records I can only find Jahanbakhsh in recent times. Before that it was Ankergren, Hawkins and Kuipers. (no doubt some stato will correct me on this!)
I think a lot of players like to keep the number they are first allotted which could explain the lack of change in many cases.

Didn’t Scherpen have 16 for a while?

Yep, Scherpen was 16 in both 2021-22 and 2022-23 (although obviously out on loan for much of that time). Ulloa was 16 when he came on loan in 2017-18.
I knew I would be corrected. My research not sufficiently in depth. Missed Ulloa, but Scherpen never appeared for first team did he?

I think we may be reading too much into this numbers lark- having watched ice hockey now and American sports with a big squad, forget the days when it was TBA or Gerry Ryan as #12

That’s what I was thinking. Pervis is still no 30 and Veltman is 34, it’s not like they aren’t key players in the team. I suspect we are making more of it than it is.
