If you bought a 5*69 player at L10, in three seasons time his quality needs to be 84 and in six seasons his quality needs to be 99 to maintain the same relative amount of quality to level. thats not easy for most players and possibly the youngest of fast trainers are the only ones that can maintain this over a prolonged period of time. I bought Killerich a few seasons ago and he made it to 6* 3 seasons just by natural growth, I used him as a back-up and he didn't get power trained, I sold him last season because he was 21 and moves into the next training speed bracket for this season.
He was 19 when I bought him as a scout player. But of course, I did benefit because at that time, I was playing in a league above my manager rating, so although I got him through my scout, he was actually a 7* player (to me). So even when he dropped down a star the following season, he was still a 6, nearing 7 again.
