Keep until he no longer performs at a level you find acceptable.
I've kept players until they were 2 stars before. (Note: my team average is always over 5, so I'm not low budget) One guy was a DC/DR with Wall ability, at 4 stars he got mostly 8s and some 9s starting most matches, at 3 stars as a spot starter and sub got 7s and 8s, as a 2 star as a pure sub he still averaged more than 7 on his form.
Can you come up with any reason to ever replace this guy?


I've had plenty of 18-19yr old 5-6 star players bust, and my team now has several 4 star starters which i've had for 4+ seasons, and they are still doing awesome. 2 of them I reinsterted into the starting lineup after the replacements underperformed, and what do you know.... they are playing like beasts.

I seriously have no idea why this guy is playing like that this season, but he forced his way into my lineup, and even changed my base formation to get him more playing time about a week ago and he has not disappointed.

Now I have a 10 point lead in League and are still in CL.

So until that guy can no longer fill a need on your team, whether that be a sub or starter, I would keep.
