How are you doing in Master League?

[Aidan-lfc]

Paved my way into the Champions League knock-out stages for a 3 straight time, meaning in my 4 seasons in charge of Liverpool I have never failed to reach the knock-out stages of a European Competition. I have two games remaining which are dead rubbers so I may give the youth some Champions League game time. I kind of want to avoid getting Real Madrid in the round of 16 as I know if I did, selling Xavi and Fernando Torres to them will come back to bite me on the backside. Back to the Premier League next, where I will be playing Everton who will be up for it, as they need the points to stop Chelsea getting a gap and more-or-less ending anyone elses chances of getting into the top 4.

Just thought I'd post this for any master league obsessives, Its a thread I found on pes stat database which details exactly what the attributes do, it can give you some pointers on how to train your players and what stats are important when looking for a player in master league. Its crucial to read between the stats on PES and this thread will help

For your interest...

Snapped up Arda Turan for £12m and managed somehow to sell Kyrgiakos to Inter Milan for £7m! Kyrgiakos hasn't played a single Premier League game for me in the 3 and a bit seasons I have been in charge so why they want him is a real mystery!

well after a very good master league with arsenal(my best ever in 6 PES) I decided to make a experiment....
I took Man Utd removed all the players to WE United and made a team with second choices in big teams...
I dont know if you guys understand so ill just post my team:
Perin
Fabio
Ranocchia
Palmieri
Santon
Boateng
Granero
Kroos
Anderson
Sturridge
Chicharito
Subs:
Szcesny
Rodwell
Johny Evans
Thiago
Hazard
A.Sanchez
A.Carroll

So far it has been worked out pretty good since im third at the 9 th game and im only one point behind
And the great thing is that they are all very young so I have future in the team.

Beat Everton and Tottenham in the Premier League, which more-or-less confirms the Top 4 will include Liverpool, Manchester United, Arsenal and Chelsea even though the league season is only 14 games in. Everton in 5th are now 5 points behind Chelsea who seem to be ever improving and are only not moving further up the table because of the immense form of the teams above them. Games between Liverpool, Manchester United, Chelsea and Arsenal could have a big say in who lifts the Premier League trophy.

I use a 4-3-3 formation which i edit a bit more depending on the game.

Unfortunately i rarely concede... Its a shame and one of my main gripes with the game... The opposition as much as they play and pass a lot... they very rarely shoot and very very rarely score... Something i hope they change for pes 2012... I hope the make the opposition more unforgiving and actually make their shots go on target more and score more... It would make it interesting.

I play between the two top difficultys mainly depending on the team i am playing. Scoring for me was my only problem on the top difficulty and i seem to be getting better at it now. Its a shame as i defend tops and what not.

It does start to make it a bit boring when i cant concede... Sometimes i even help make me concede. lol.

if u wanna raise ur finance look at old players with low OA and sell them...when selling try to adjust the value..raising at least 1million on each bid..one time i managed to sell berbatov for 99million pounds lol..its for real....for young player below 20 u can loan them out..but if tht young players r gonna b useful for example hes a cf n ur lacking of cf player..then dont loan..unless ur buying for new cf

The only problem then is there will be no difference when facing the top teams.

I switch between the two as atleast then when i have to face teams like Real, Barca, Chelsea or anyone in the top 7 of the league then it makes it a little more difficult than the other games.

But even this method doesnt seem to be working much.

Another delayed update.. Been busy and haven’t got round to updating.

0-0 Liverpool

4-0 Panathanaikos. Abate(2), Nani, Owen

3-0 Villa. Owen(3)
3-0 Everton. Abate(2), Hernandez
2-0 Arsenal. Abate, Macheda

2-2 Blackburn. Macheda, Rooney

3-0 Ajax. Hernandez(3)

4-1 Stoke. Gam Lang(2), Ando, Abate

4-1 Boca Juniors(came from behind). Hernandez(2), Abate(2)

During the winter transfer window I sold Palmeiri to Inter, Hernandez to Juventus and sold Tomecak to some team too.
Brought in Di Vaio for £15 million, £6.6 million in wages from Ac Milan and like I stated in the last update Ita and Chigrat came in.

3-0 Leeds. Rafael, Ita, Di Vaio
3-1 Swansea. Abate(2), Macheda
2-0 Man City. Welbeck, Abate
3-0 West Ham. Owen(2), Abate
2-0 Cardiff. Macheda(2)

2-0 Bordeaux. Gam Lang, Abate
3-1 Bordeaux. Gam Lang, Bebe, Ando

6-0 Blackpool. Abate(3), Di Vaio(3)
3-0 Newcastle. Owen(2), Abate
3-0 Chelsea. Di Vaio, Welbeck, Abate. (Chelsea this season like Arsenal the last were around 12-14 spot in the table)
1-0 Wigan. Wijnaldum

2-0 Psv. Rooney, Morrison
3-0 Psv. Gam Lang(2), Abate

2-0 Bolton. Gam Lang, Ando

5-0 Chelsea (cup). Abate(2), Macheda(2), Rooney (Couldn’t believe this score line, by this time they had fallen to 15th in the league)
1-0 Sunderland. Abate
1-0 Barca. Abate
1-1 Barca. Bebe

Close call going through to the next round.. Barca and Madrid are definitely the hardest teams to face in the game

1-0 Liverpool. Abate
3-0 Villa. Rooney(2), Gam Lang
4-0 Everton. Mancosu, Wijnaldum, Di Vaio, Rooney

1-2 Man City (Cup Final). Nani
Lost the England cup to rivals City

4-2 Lyon after ET(2-2 before extra time). Bebe, Nani, Fabio, Gam Lang

3-0 Arsenal. Di Vaio, Rooney, Ando
1-0 Fulham. Rooney
1-0 Blackburn. Macheda.. Crazy game 18 shots and only one goal
6-0 Stoke. Abate(2), Bebe(2), Rooney(2)
3-0 Leeds. Macheda(2), Welbeck

So another good season. Won the league and CL as the main trophies. Won the super cup and international club cup.

During the summer Morrison ended up leaving on a free… originally a 1 year deal and because of the glitch involving player loyalty when created the frosty relationship caused him to leave. Wijnaldum in the end was sold on as well.

Promoted a 19 year old CB Ballesteros from the youth. Rated 80 OVR. Promoted the regen of C. Seedorf too rated 76 OVR. Brought in young 19 year old SMF Calleja rated 82 OVR and then agreed a loan move for a year to get Warol. Not sure whether after this season to buy him perm. Who knows.

[Aidan-lfc]

Put a young side against Villareal in the dead rubber Champions League group matches and still managed to pick up a 2-0 win with a nicely placed finish from Jonjo Shelvey on the stroke of half time and an absolute screamer from Amoo 10 minutes before time. Also had an offer for Kelly of £4.5m which I accepted and have had an offer of £10.2m for Dirk Kuyt which I have tried to sneak up to £11.5m. Next game is against 8th placed Wolverhampton Wanderers who will be anxious to get back into those Europa League spots having held a Champions League place about a month ago.

Edit: Beat Wolverhampton Wanderers 4-1 thanks to a Hat-Trick from Ibrahimovic and a goal from David Silva. I now have £75m for the January transfer market after completing the sale of Kyrgiakos (£7m), Kelly (£4.5m) and Kuyt (£11.5m). I have already strengthened the squad in terms of SMF's however I may well buy another DMF/CMF and then send Jonjo Shelvey on loan or sell Jay Spearing (Spearing really hasn't improved from day 1 and is well below the level where I can feel confident in giving him a game). N'Gog has developed nicely into a 80ovr CF so he will step up and take the place of Kuyt on the bench. To be quite honest, until Xabi Alonso retires which I am guessing will be next season, there is no real rush for me to buy any new players.

2012/13 Premier League (after 16 games):

Team- Won- Drawn- Lost- Points- GD(if needed)

1.)Liverpool-16-0-0-48
2.)Manchester United-12-1-3-37
3.)Arsenal-11-3-2-36
4.)Chelsea--9-4-3-31
---------------------------------------
5.)West Ham United-9-3-4-30
6.)Birmingham City-6-4-6-22 (-2)
7.)Blackburn Rovers-6-4-6-22 (-3)
---------------------------------------
8.)Wigan Atheltic-6-4-6-22 (-3, Blackburn have scored more)
9.)Stoke City-5-6-5-21 (-1)
10.)Wolverhampton Wanderers-6-3-7-21 (-2)

So overall, the most exciting race is for the final Champions League spot and the Europa League places with the Top 3 starting to pull away after Chelsea had some draws which they really should've won!

2nd season halfway going, begun with ML original players replacing Doncaste so many of players are Doncaster players bought as free transfers.

I'm currently sitting as 2nd in table (a bit too easy imo). Liverpool being number one, and I've only lost twice season.

Dropped out of FA cup by chelsea..again like last season, gonna get them next year Goal is to qualify for europa league, but looks like I'm gonna make it to Champions league.

with a huge luck Jeffren dropped to unsigned from Barca, so I snapped him at the end of last season. Otherwise I've mostly transfered only crappy players and players who were transfer listed. (My team ranking is very low).

GKs: G.Woods, Pouplin (bought halfway), Ivarov.
Could do some improvement here, Woods didn't approve my new deal to him so I bought and considered Pouplin to be better than Woods, but he's been inconsistent now.

DEF: Szalai, Palmieri, Schmidt, D.Jensen (from copenhagen), Jiranek (Birmingham drop out).
I could really do with a better left back as Jensen's utter crap. Also I could sell Palmieri / Schmidt for profits so should scout a replacement CB as well.

MID: Oscar, Camacho, Pelaez, Mason, Jeffren, Stambouli
My goal half-season was to get a good DMF, as I sold Jaric and Stambouli is doing it for now.. even being crap, he has a good defence & balance rating so he stops the attacks.

ATT: Sharp, Fairhurst, Nuhiu, Okotie, Jeffren.
Once again strikers are easiest to come by, so I raided free transfers in the end of last season and got Sharp, Okotie and Nuhiu.
Not really known guys, but especially Sharp has a good shot technique which is a great to have for a striker, he's gonna be my Raul

I mostly play 4-2-2-2

------------Pouplin-----------
Szalai-Palmieri-Schmidt-Jensen
-------------Stambouli-------
--------Oscar----------------
-Jeffren----------Camacho---
-------------Okotie----------
-----Sharp-------------------

Goal for season is to make as much $$$$ as possible to improve team trainers etc for next season. Right now I got already the chinese dude Xiang ying hai etc. but my other trainers could do with some improvement.

Unfortunately i rarely concede... Its a shame and one of my main gripes with the game... The opposition as much as they play and pass a lot... they very rarely shoot and very very rarely score... Something i hope they change for pes 2012... I hope the make the opposition more unforgiving and actually make their shots go on target more and score more... It would make it interesting.

Well said man, well said. Exactly how I feel! I really WANT to concede and be punished if the opponent outplays me. Sadly that isn't the case AI is very bad on finishing it's chances. So I rarely concede at all neither. I wouldn't even mind more scripting when it comes to AI opponent shooting. As it seems to me that AI just shoots from awful positions as being so stupid, they could script so that AI could shoot more easily in varying positions, if they can't code an AI who could actually go to good shooting positions.
Simply put to me it seems often that AI shoots like a PES2011 noob, shooting from bad body positions etc.

[firestorm79]

My team can't get any better now - when i do a player search based on overall ability all the top players are mine... Top player with basic setting. Club - boca. Team is del piero, di vaio and tote up front, midfield is requilme, scholes and farinos, back four is bauder something, lucio, sutto and santon and keeper is ceaser sanchez. Bench: harry kewell, veron, inamoto, ang, rane, ita and a lucio clone. Reqelme, sanchez and lucio clone were from my youth squad. All real players are regens apart from santon who's 30plus now... In 2023 i think! All of my first team and most of my bench are over 90.
