how can he nknow? from what I have been reading on this site, not much is known about ratings and what to do to make a player play better. It is all hogwash until it is confirmed by nordeus. but if someone like tongly has proof that advancing a player to the next star makes him play with 7s and 8s, then i would love to see it, as would everyone else on this site.
patience, multi account, young player training. i have huge experience in helping player come back to his top form. but a star is very long to go and only World class player or player with good high end 3-4 8-9 or young player fast trainer can be expected to keep in your team. it's only the last solution if you really want to keep the player.
before waiting you should play the player out of his position and sub him in some friendly matches. one he can get 7 point for 2 matches consecutive and 0 matches with 5 rating in his last 5 matches he could gain his form again.

Sorry Tongly, I have multi accounts and am in 11th season, so I can say I know things about the game that others dont know and that would be true if i was referring to other players just starting out, but according to many on this forum, nobody knows anthing for sure about player ratings, not even July forth. It is all theory unless confirmed by the makers, so if it works for you doesnt mean it works for others.
The one thing you do mention is patience and that is what more people should have here. Keep your players and dont waste your tokens and forget about the ratings. From one of the threads we can see that even condition doesnt matter as you can easily win back to back games and the second game the players start in the 70% range. The thread i am talkoing about the manager is keeping his players at zero percent. I have not been keeping track of that thread but the point is that the more I read here, the more I understand that not much makes sense. you can win with illegal formation, zero condition and morale, and even with a team with less than 11 players, frequently. In most games, attention to detail means the difference between winning and losing. here attentino to detail means nothing?
