Cunning tactic.

Stars are an indication of how the player compares to the league level. So when you're promoted, all players lose a star because now they're in a harder/higher league level ... but they're still as good in terms of quality.

So you want players that have 4/5/6/7 stars (whatever your budget is) to be able to compete or dominate.
