A star is achieved when a player reaches an average Quality ending 0 or 5 - what star rating that is depends on the average quality reative to your Team level.

Therefore a player will be close to the next star when its ave Quality is x9 or x4, Just how close it is you can work out by looking at the skills tab.



This player is 39Q so he is close to 40 and his next star. To reach 40Qave he needs to have the average of his 3 skill groups (def, att and P&M) to be 40. So the total must be 3x40 = 120.

You can therefore see he needs 1.6 to reach that. 5 skill points are required to raise a skill group by 1 so he needs 8 skill points to achieve 6*.
