But at the end of the day you will have to sell and buy new players EVERY season, regardless of his training speed. So count on replacing 1/3 to 1/2 of your team every 1-2 years depending on your league and how competitive it is.
i have bought 3 scouts over 3 seasons and they, plus 2 other very fast trainers are the only ones left from my starting team in level 1.
Look, you spent $9.5M for a 5* player. not bad. if he is a fast trainer, count on him being in your team for 2-3 years. My 2 fast trainers from lvl 1 are my worst players in this season but they are not far behind the others: the max I can get in the auctions is 30 apparently with an occasional 35, but my worst defender is 29 and I have had him from the start so he is on par with my level. My GK from lvl 1, i still have as a backup and he is 29 quality with 1v1, another good trainer.
All that to say: if you want to keep players, spend the money and buy the one with the higher market value. Otherwise you will be wasting tokens in bidding wars for replacement players every season to replace the crap in your team.
