Consistency just basically means like in every game your player will play to a certain percentage of his ability ranging from 100%(20 consistency) to 80%-120%(1 Consistency). It just defines the range they will play and where they play in that range is random I think for each game.

It is unlikely, given that you're a division 5 team with limited resources, that he will get to 19/20 in a stat such as tackling, which means inconsistency is not necessarily to his detriment. There are also certain positions where a less consistent persona could be advantageous, such as kick returning or in the defensive line.
Lack of consistency is a big handicap in the transfer market currently, and can reduce a player's value to a quarter of what it might otherwise be, but this does not mean that such a player is useless, or even undesirable, if you play him in the right positions.
In short, train him where his physical attributes suit him best and enjoy his performances and improvement.
