Retirement Age

[Al Svanberg]

The bigger question is, how did your player manage to keep up with your advancement in levels?
When I buy an 18-year-old, only in very rare occasions that he can still be six-star quality when he reaches 22 years old, because by then, he would have to have gained about three stars worth of quality in order to keep up with losing one star after each season.

Me too, but otoh I waste a lot of rest packs to get my team prepared for games if there only are a few hours between them and on at least 3-5 fast trainers. Imagine if you farmed max each day and put all your rest packs into the same kid, I recon he would become pretty good eventually.

If you can get a fast-training 18-year-old, you can train a special ability and have him at 9* by the time he's 22, if you're prepared to watch a lot of videos, save all your green packs and invest them in him. You also end up training him a lot.
Once he's 8* or 9*, you can imagine that he gets MoM a lot, so that's quite a few skill points. Also, once they're 9*, the rate of progress for training is so poor that it's not worth doing, really. Probably true of 8*, too. Better to get them to 8* and then save the packs for the next season.
Anyway, suffice it to say it takes a lot of time and effort!
