Ratings that end in 4 or 9 mean that the players overall is 14 or 19 for level 1, 24 or 29 for level 2 and so on. it is the best value for money and can increase in star rating a lot faster than a player that ends in 0,1,2,5,6,7....
For example, you may buy a player with a rating of 19 (4stars) for cheaper than a player with a rating of 20 (5stars) in level one, even though there may be only a few skill points between them.
Goalkeepers: C Burns, S Clements

Forwards: J Marques, E Simaga, M Mekikov
When you look at the individual players, obviously you notice the number of stars first. If you hover the cursor over the stars, you will see the skill quality of the player, ie: 33, 28 etc. Now each player rises by one star after five quality levels (if that makes sense to you). What July was refering to, was that, say for instance, a player had a rating of 34 or 39, they are quite close to gaining their next star rating at 35 & 40. I hope I've made myself clear.
