I heard that some managers could keep some of their players from 18 years old until they retired. I, who manage teams obtaining only 35T per season and promoting every season, have never kept a player in rotational squad after they reached at most 27 years old. The players' qualities would be unable to catch up with the rest of the team. Besides, usually in a new season, players' average performance ratings will drop even though they may still be consistent.
From my experience, many players in the team since level 1 are fast trainers. With my demands on player qualities for low levels and training resources (extra tokens, rest packs for extra training) I can provide, about 2 to 4 players can be kept until 25 or 26 years old. In higher levels, I feel I need relative higher star quality players to compete. Even good young players are seldom kept longer than 5 seasons (end of 2nd contract).
However, this trend changes gradually from about level 17. Buying new players becomes difficult and cash flows is a problem. 4* players are used for longer period. I love to keep those who are in consistent good form.
I should love those players who played for me for a long time. They are usually consistent players until they left. I prefer to keeping them until they do not have a role in the team. On selling them, I would have some dump screens for them and write a short summary for him on the facebook post (which shared to myself only).
