By the way, has anyone managed to get their players to attain Protege team role? There seem to be none when ran the search in the Advanced search engine :no:

I've had one in my Pescara ML (Romagna) and another in my Real Madrid ML (Ruben Neves). I don't know the reasons for them to get that role but in both cases they were rated worse than the other players for those positions, but I still played them more often. After a few months they gained that role. It's like their retribution for your hope and faith in them, despite having better rated option on the squad.

Not sure if it has happened to you, but speaking of in-form players, there was a couple of occasions when my CM and CF were on top of their game for 1 match (with either Red arrow or Orange) and then the next match their condition went to either Blue or all the way down

If you have the glowing red arrow expect it to last some good 7/8 games. As for the regular arrows, as Ali says, they're almost random.

For my next ML (will end RM's in a week or so) I'll take Porto to the top with only U23, portuguese players. I gathered a list from PESMaster for the potential candidates, borrowed FM16 from a friend and got their stats. Also got some more names from FM and if they were in PESMaster or are used by their teams I'll add them to the game.

This is the list. GK's needed a few tweaks, CB's not so much, the rest is in the process.

Obviously I won't be using all these players, but I'll have a wider range to choose my squad from.

Edit: The "form arrows" are pretty much random, albeit slightly influenced by the players form stat, so don't put too much thought into it. The only time when they're not random, is when you get a flashing red arrow when the player is going through a development boost. (FYI - don't confuse this with a flashing arrow (any colour) that is influenced by a 'General' being in the team)


If you have the glowing red arrow expect it to last some good 7/8 games. As for the regular arrows, as Ali says, they're almost random

So, meaning to say if any one of my players earned a rating of 7 or higher in 1 match, and his condition drops from a green to blue, you guys will still play him in the starting 11 because of the form he's in?

First of all, you've managed to mix mine and rebelinho's quotes up.... don't know how you managed that! :tongue:

And to answer your post, no, that's not what we're saying. Match rating has no influence on the form arrow in the next match.

When we're talking about this glowing red arrow - this is when a developing players is going through a "flourish". You'll get a message after each match saying something about this player's attributes rapidly increasing, and details on each increase.
This flourish seems to happen once (or twice if you're lucky) during a players develoment.

Starting season 5 August transfer window. I'm trying to sell off some of my stars. It turns out having too many 90+ rated players in the team can be financially hazardous. They all want $15-19M salaries.

Also, I'm preparing my team to accommodate Regen Pirlo, Buffon and Torres who just retired and will reappear in the January transfer window as youth players.

So far not many teams want to buy C.Ronaldo which is a shame because last season I had offers up to $125M. Yep that's right. Should have sold him. But scoring with him is so so easy I decided to hold on.

What's stupid is the only two interested teams I got were from Sunderland and PSV. Ridiculous. PSV wants to pay $45M. Sunderland got auto rejected.


This isn't specifically ML related, but it did happen in my ML - after playing hundreds and hundreds of matches, I came across a new "area celebration" - a golf one by the corner flag. Has anyone else done this one? Don't know how I did it, are they just random?

Yeah they are random. If you run to the corner flag your your player will either do the golf celebration or just do a silly twirl around the pole. Can't remember if there is a third.

If you run behind the goal post he will spring around the goal post.

Finally, if you run towards the advertisement boards, your player can jump on top of it.

There are a few I think - a big punch one, a flying kick, perhaps a Tim Cahill-esq boxing one too.

Just played vs Atletico. I've fucking had enough.

They scored 2 goals in 2 shots, both on target. The second was a FORTY FIVE METER STRIKE, first time shot, while under pressure, and almost by the side line.

Ended 2-2. I'd just won vs Barça 1-0 the matchweek before (a proper match, difficult but not scripted to hell), 69 points for me, 68 for them. They have conceeded 4 goals in 25 games. I'll repeat: 4 goals in 25 games.

Edit: Bernat (my most reliable defender) injured in that fucking match (had that injured cutscene 5 times. Atletico had two fouls.), 14 weeks out. Lovely.

My Real Madrid ML is officialy over. Atletico can go fuck themselves, La Liga can go fuck itself, and derby matches can go suck each other. I don't need this shit in my life.

-----------------------------------

As for my Porto ML. Stats adjustments are over, added a few more players. Will post some pics later on.

Make sure you use players that understands the Team Instructions. Players (so also GK's become morons when they dont understand it).

And about training stats. My Gerrard, Xavi, Lampard, Totti and Klose are with a rating of 100+ and every stat is red, and I always had it set to balanced. I have to admit i have cheated a little bit by buying almost all the Grandmasters and Legends. I had Messi and Ronaldo just for the boost in xp.

Do you mean the CPU scored a goal that wasn't a low shot from inside the box? I'll believe it when I see it. :folarm:

In other news, I finally made it to the no.1 club spot in my Bolton, ML, and that signals the end. I'll post a few pics in due course (ie when I can be bothered).

Oh no, it was a low shot. From 45 meters.

Today is Beer Day so I won't post anything regarding Porto ML, but expect some pics tomorrow. The start of this journey was truly incredible.

Thought I'll share my squad too.

This is the full lineup for season 5. I'm a few weeks away from the January transfer window where I will be trying to sell off Benteke, Coutinho and Ronaldo because my wages are getting a far too high.

I got a $48M offer from Sunderland for Benteke which I am sitting on at the moment. Really good player but unfortunately Origi's meteoric rise has meant Big Ben is the plan B option. Planning to sell Benteke and use Giroud as the plan B option.

Last season a few clubs wanted to buy Ronaldo. I even got an offer for $135M!! Really regretting not selling. His presence is really stopping Markovic's growth. I suspect that's why Markovic never hit 90.

As for Coutinho, this is a reluctant sale. I'm going to bring back Ødegaard from loan as my backup No.10 next season and Coutinho will only hamper his growth. And besides, Coutinho's contract is up and he is refusing a cheap new contract. I don't think I can afford his wages.

[MENTION=231812]Willowcrew[/MENTION] - what season did you sign Pogba? I only signed him in my final season, so he did get that extra bit of development that comes with being at a human controlled team.

Same with Gaya, I only signed him when he had maxed out. It's annoying that players don't develop as much at AI teams, so to get them at their best, you have to sign them early. It's been that way with every PES!

Yeah I think you're right. Playe controlled gives more boost. But i also bought lots of squad players with training boost stats to help development.

I got Djené and Sakho who give lots of bonuses. And for Pogba I loaned a number of maestros and Grand masters to boost him too. But it got too troublesome after a while due to squad limit which meant I couldn't go after good young players. So I ended up buying Fàbregas.

I bought Pogba in the July transfer window just before season 2.

I bought Gaya in the January window of season 2.

Pogba didn't grow that spectacularly.

But Gaya did. He jumped from around 85 to 90. Then kept growing. He is a beast. I'm thinking of converting him into a LM/winger just like Gareth Bale. But unfortunately his shooting accuracy is not so good. Decisions decisions.

Ah, good idea with loaning maestros and Grand masters! Ward-Prowse was a level 3 maestro for me. I was considering selling him at one point, because I had too many CMs, but I kept him around because of the training boost.

Yeah I found it really useful!

My Divock Origi just hit 90. Thanks to Ronaldo, Mertens and Giroud boosting the crap out of him.

If ur team can spare the cash, I suggest loaning a grand master instead of maestro because they boost everyone in that playing area. So you only need 3 guys to boost all outfield players. Maestros take up too much room in the squad. I like leaving some space for opportunistic purchases.

I thought Grand Masters just boost everyone in the starting XI? Or do different levels have additional effects? From what I saw, my Grand Master (Felipe Anderson) boosted everyone's match XP, and there was an additional effect if I made him captain.

No, they boost all the positions in their colour. If you have a SS with Grand Master role he'll boost every attacking players (red positions), and so on.
