As a deist, I don't have to believe God has knowledge of the free-will choices in future let alone that God has knowledge of everything we would've done given a situation, let alone knowledge of what every possible soul would do. In fact it seems to me knowledge of future free-will choices doesn't make sense. Also I don't think it dimishes his greatness at all if he doesn't have this knowledge so he would still be the greatest being. He rather has every knowledge that is possible to know, but it may very well be, knowledge of free-will choices before they are decided is not possible.
So there would be a solution to this issue, but for those whom insist God has knowledge of what every soul would do, then this is a problem for them. He could've chosen to create good people only or the best people, and you have an infinite supply of possible souls.
