True, I am Season 7 now, Level 5 and I have sustained my season 1 striker for a 4-6 star rating every season now..

They are always the best.

I have also done that with my LB, CB and RB. They are all 4 stars right now.

My Advice:

The tip to keeping players trained well is to keep their condition and morale up to enhance performance.

Also, sell any 2-3 star players you have at the end of the season because keeping your team 3 stars or higher is useful to have as that is what I keep.

At the start of the season, buy some 5 star players and stock up tokens at the end of the season, as you will need them at the start for bidding for new skillful players. If you are desperate (and above level 4) try negotiations. They will be useful to have when you need 5 star players. buy a 23-28 year old one as they perform well and don't use a ridiculous amount of money/tokens. If it doesn't succeed, you get back your tokens, so no worries.

Also, keep your GK above 3 stars as they are a vital part of your team. If you don't have a decent goalkeeper, you will find yourself losing many games, which is not a good thing!

Also, at the end of the season, your team's skill does NOT change, your skills are the same as they used to be, you have just lost a star to keep your players at the same level as the league as you will be facing a higher level of competition.

Last point: The first games of the league are the most important as they determine where the position your team will (mostly) stay around for the season unless you make a comeback from a last place position which is unlikely.
