The 'How are you doing in MLO' thread

Right, as I couldn't find a similar thread on the MLO on this forum I thought it be a great idea to start one. As it takes a while before you can buy some of the top players it would be good if we could share some of our cheap but good signings.

I have just started my MLO a few days ago and really like it. I never really bothered with the online componend of the previous titles because I put all my time in the ML offline. I chose Everton as my team which looks absolutely solid thanks to daymos' OF.

I released some of the expensive players and gathered enough money to buy Hulk and Cahill. I would recommend Hulk to everyone because he is immense on the ball, really hard to knock of and can produce some mindblowing shots. Cahill I'm not to glad about as he seems to lack the speed and balance to get himself in a good scoring position. I've been palying him as an CF so maybe he does better as an AMF.

After releasing some more players I bought Fellaini and what a cracker he is. I put him as a CF and he just keeps scoring. I just bomb the sides with Hulk and Castolo and cross the balls for fellaini to head them home. He has scored every game for me so far.

So far I have played around 10 quick matches, won 6, drawn 1 and lost 3. My most impresive win was against some guy who had sneijder, ibra and agbonlahor up front. I managed to beat him with 3-2 with Fellaini scoring the third goal from a bicycle kick in the last minute.

I did my first competition yesterday, won 6 and lost 2, but I came across a parasite who just scored 3 own goals to get the money. Thought I did pretty good but finished 221! Guess I need more practice with this new game. I'm looking for a new midfielder and dribbler. Anyone has a suggestion for some good and cheap ones?

So far so good. Been playing it for around 10 days now, only entered one competition so far.

First signing was Pastore, then I got Valeron but sold him in order to fund a transfer for Veloso.

Got around £700,000 left.

Overall record is 33 wins,, 6 draws and 4 defeats. In division 4, and definitely looking at promotion.

Doing pretty awesome, signed Quagliarella the first day. 2.9 million is a lot, but he's bringing it! 120 matches, 75 goals or so :D.
Also got Zairi and Dirar pretty soon. From there I moved on to buy Legus and Gobbi, as AMF and DMF. CMF was pretty hard to find, I went with Valdo.

After that I bought my 2 best buys after Quag: Douglas and Rozenhal, both class defender with 185 cm height. No long pass comes through. Plus both are coming with my corners, and Douglas already scored 4 goals!
As backs I got Hempte (LB) and Oliviere (RB).

Since then I've been upgrading my CMF to Matuzalem and my AMF to Basturk.
Only a default keeper Ivarov, planning to release him soon.

Im doing ok, started to win some games as I've found a formation that works with the players I've got. The only original player that makes my starting line up now is Ruskin. I have cashed in all the other original players and got some much better players in now.

Im loving the MLO, and I'm happy that the servers seem to be able to handle the play unlike previous years on Pro Evo. I've only had 1 laggy match so far.

You've got to remember that it takes your best 3 consecutive results.... so if you WWLLWDW... then it'll take the Win Draw Win results....

The 3-0 own goal thing is very annoying, but they get booted out if they do it more than once - and I think Konami may introduce something that means after one game like this they get booted. (And it gives you a win and lots of points and helps your goals for! But it is annoying).

OMG played 120 and scored 75!! I'll defo going to keep him in mind for whenever I have the money. When I get home I'm going to look at some of the players you mentioned since my team needs an upgrade.

@heatuk10:
Realeasing youre players nets you with their market value, so if you release a player whos worth 700,00, you get 700,00 minus a few bucks in cash to buy better players. Just release players that you wont use and/or some of the more expensive ones. A great way to gather some resources in the beginning. Carefull though, I releases rushkin cause I needed the money so have to play giersen now, an absolute disaster on the left wing

@E.F.C.: thx, another good tip!
I have only played a couple of matches in MLO, not joined a ML yet.

That explains the 221th place as I did this: WWLWWLWW.. Better luck next time, has anyone else noticed that it's quite hard to sign in to an competition. One moment the whole room is empty, three seconds later it's full. Didn't Konami count on us buying and actually playing the game?

I have been lucky and got into every tourney i have tried entering. just got knocked out in the semi finals of the D5 Cup, after losing 2-0 with 10 men. had a crazy run, but was helped alot by the idiots that kept doing teir own goal thingy (get a life boys)!! i have signed rustu in goal, and bought 2 strikers.. Remy and Cacau, recommend them both. got pace and a good finish

Well you all seem to be doing a lot better than me. Only bought one player so far and that was Agi Pakirani as he used to always score for me in the previous PES's.
Have only played four games so far and lost them all, 4-0 to someone who actually had a load of good players so destroyed me, then 2-1 to Man Utd which was a bit annoying as they scored two in a minute to win. Have lost the other two 1-0 and one of those was because my keeper ran 40 yards out to a through ball in the 90th minute and gave the opposition an easy open goal.
Don't know if I'm just rubbish at the game at the moment or if everyone else is just really good but I am not enjoying losing all the time at the moment, hopefully I'll get my first win sometime soon.

One more chance and then going back to OFFLINE ML!

For God's sake Willy! :erm:

I have been playing forever now, sort of speech, on the MLO and yesterday night... after just having enough on this mode... I chose to go bankrupt and start from scratch!

It truly sucks that you have to pay money to just challenge another player (this amount being always between 30,000 to 45,000) and then what? If you draw a game you only get back 5,000 or so when playing away!!!

QUICK REMARK: It is unfair for people that just purchased this game recently to see that Messi (which was valued at 9,000,000... now... has reached nearly the 11,000,000) and that you hardly make any money even if you win home or / and away matches. When are you going to be able to have a team of stars? Probably never!

You just truly need to be REALLY patient as you know you will rely on crappy players like Castolo, Espimas e Minanda for a very long time... and I mean a very long time!!!

Before I chose to go bankrupt yesterday night I had disputed 42 games and had picked Chelsea as my team. Not really one of my most satisfactory campaigns: 17 Wins -- 5 Draws -- 20 Losses I guess Abramovic's money ran out!!! :realmad:

Most of the goals I suffered were completely ridiculous and my defense was just pathetic.... they would have more luck in a circus rather than on a pitch! As a plus... how the hell can you win against players that have already the likes of Poldoski, Hulk, Kherzakov, Lham and others in the same team??? In the mean time... you're stuck with your UNHIREABLE TEAM: Iouga, his brother and his friends!

I am giving one more shot to this mode and that's that... after all... what's the fun of playing with a crappy team while others have much better teams than you and you just can't cope with a one-team man simply because you cannot rely on the majority of your players!!!

You may sell nearly half your team and then hire one great player... however... experience tells me that a Robben or a Villa or a Kaka... won't make much of a difference when you are relying JUST IN ONE OF THEM!!! :ninja:

QUESTION TO ALL:

When you declare bankruptcy and start the MLO from scratch... does this mean your position in the MLO Ranking also is resetted to default or do you keep the same one you had before you decided to declare bankruptcy?

Any info on this would be appreciated....... thanks!:rolleyes:

The last few days have been going absolutely horrific. After I promoted to the 4th division things have just gone sour. I played 12 games and only managed to win 3! Hell, my statistics are beginning to look like that of an "own goal poacher". Fellaini scored a lot for me being in the CF position but the last few days I didn't even managed to get the ball up to him.

I had one very nice game in a competition 2 days ago. I was with my mate (he wanted to see if the game was any fun) and I was up against a guy who had villa, ibra, chiellini and so on.. Kick off; the guy passes to his keeper and wants to shoot in his own goal, but shoots over lol. I have a corner out of which Fellaini headed it in, 1-0. Then the guy puts the game on pause and texts me; "time is money lol" So he begins to run to his own goal again and shoots it in with his gk. So I pause the game and text him; "thats the same thing you're mother told me last night" (I know, just sad and immature but the own goal kids tick me off.) So he pauses the game, and somehow I think I pissed him off because he started to play normal and tried to score. He was absolute shite at the game haha. Had villa, arshavin en ibra up fornt but didnt manage to score. I scored the 3-1 in the 90+ minute, he tried to pause the game but as the time was almost up, the game just ended. I LMAO..

@ david_bueno:
I guess you have to start from scratch again, what else would be the point of declaring bankrupty? Also, if you have some money from players you let go, don't buy 1 good player but buy a few decent ones, I bought Hulk, cahill and Fellaini, makes a massive difference.

I tried with 3 or 4 decent players and those being: Hadji, Kherzakov, Sychev and Kalou, however, no help on the defense department. I am still trying to, with the little money we have at the start of MLO, to purchase 2 decent forwards, 4 decent midfielders and an okay goalkeeper but it seems impossible.
