At the highest level

[nbn]

With this year's form and contract system, MLO requires more management in order to maintain your ranking. While you improve your skills during ongoing play online, build up your squad with the best players available with form arrow up is not always the best way. Why? you ask, its because if you constantly do this you will end up like me with 0 extra money since the player(s) buy (arrow going up) will always be cheaper than when you sell them. (arrow going down) I made this mistake until I realize its more important to buy star-subs than to build the strongest eleven.

Furthermore, you can keep those you like to use with arrow going down until their form gets better later, that way you don't have to pay more the next cycle.

BTW, the form of each individual player affects how long they will stay in their form.

futher to this i feel like when i make lots of transfers the AI handicaps me, my team play really bad, - now i keep 32 players and only upgrade when i can afford someone i will never sell. - this is how to beat MLO this year!

I actually like this system. And if you buy the right players, you could go on for a good week with the same players, all of them being in green to red and back to green form, at the selling point. http://s7.postimage.org/i4lwan2qj/pes2012_mlo_form_and_condition.png

See that graph, try to always buy players whose form is just getting better, and whose Form is 6 or more. Imagine, a form 6 player, bought while his form is Normal, raising, you will have him for a good 11 days going from Green all the way to the top and back. Which is awesome.

And I honestly don't think you are losing that much money; it's good because you don't have to always meet players playing with Crynaldo or Messi, they also go down at times.

What I don't like about MLO however, is that if you sell a player and immediately buy him again, his Fatigue level resets. Crap if ya ask meh!

Great tip there man.

One thing though, when you sell a player and buy him again right away, you lose money on him, don't you? Nobody would want to do that anyway.

Hello sportyfox,

You don't lose any money if you sell him at the end of his contract. If you buy and sell him the same day, the same transfer fee applies for the Release and for the Purchase. If you regularly used him for 10 full matches you actually don't lose a penny, he's out of contract.

What you "lose",

If you, at any point, replaced him during a game, he might have minutes of play left on his file (under 90mins/1match), although you can't take advantage of that, because you can only use him again once he's got over 90 minutes left there, which would mean you have to extend his contract for 10 more matches, and have to deal with his fatigue level. Therefore, even if you replaced him at any point and he's got minutes of play left, if a full match cost you ~150k, 200k for one average player, let's say you lose about 75k in case he's got 45 mins left on his contract and you sell him, to buy him again.

What I'm trying to say is that you basically don't lose anything and it's totally worth it as your player will be fresh like new.

When the player you want to buy is in form, he is usually more expensive since more people are using him. And when you sell him at the end of his contract, you will lose some money since he's price is back to normal.

Well nbn we all know that it is best, and most economical that you buy a player once he's "Green", and sell him once he's "Green" again but going down. Prices shouldn't differ too much, but I see your point, and sometimes there is a fair difference.

Ahh got you! Well, I personally would still wait his fatigue level to go up, wouldn't want to deal with selling/rebuying him again
