Good ML Buys

Thought I'd start this thread as I'm returning to Master League after about an 8 year absence in favour of FIFA's Career Mode and thought a thread for good buys would be helpful.

So far I've done about half a season with Man City (keeping the original squad) and have found all my buys making an impact.

Renato Sanches was my first buy. In a few false starts in ML his asking price had been around £34m but in the season that I got off the ground they strangely only asked for £17m. So he's usually very expensive, but after every match I'd get notifications about multiple stats of his improving. He's already an absolute beast of a CM and highly recommended.

Virgil Van Dijk was my second signing. Tall, good in a tackle and excellent on the ball. Fits the Man City team at the moment and slotted in seamlessly. Again he was pricey though, coming in at about £25m.

Riechedly Bazoer was my third signing. If I remember correctly he was about £15m. He's a solid all round midfielder, not as good as Sanches, but cheaper, so maybe pick between the two based on your budget.

Jordan Lukaku was my final signing. I had hardly any money left despite selling numerous players but needed cover for Kolarov at LB and have had experience with Lukaku Jr in FIFA 16. His attacking stats are better than his defensive ones but that seems par for the course these days. At £5m he's an absolute steal!

Let me know what your best ML buys are!

Welcome back to PES! :D Maybe a year to late but none the less a good call!

One of my first signings as well, think I payed around €30m for him so you did very well getting him for £17m!! He is an absolute beast isn't he! Runs the show in midfield for me, I love winning the ball back with him and storming into the opposition half looking for a one-two and having a shot!
Already developing for me also, up to 82 OvR.

I can recommend this guy as well...

One for the future and could develop just as fast and Sanches.

Cerny from Ajax is the perfect speedy winger for early stages. Pulisic from Dortmund is also a good option, slower but with better passing.

Coric as a #10, Neves as a #6, Locatelli from Milan is a decent, surely cheap option for #8 with plenty of margin for developments.

Chidozie, Christensen, Joe Gomez, all good options for centre backs.

Embolo from Schalke excellent big,strong,quick and good finisher. All tho they will make you pay for him £32 million :shocking: i am finding most teams go big on the values for their players.

Yes Embolo is a great young striker, had him on last years game and reached over 90 OvR. don't like his hair though, looks like a skunk on his head, i'll have to edit that!

If you think about it £32m is a decent price for someone who'll probably be worth double that in 3/4 seasons. You would place large value on your star young talent to warn off other clubs or to get a big payday.

His hair is utterly horrendous, and actually i like the new feature of ignoring all offers on players so i never get bids for my star players :tongue: and yes £32 mil seems good money now as he can't stop scoring :D

I started with a serie b team with default ml players so i had to sign free agents and sell to make some money. (Started with 7m transfer budget-> 35m after a season)
I got Lobato, a regen which appeared in my youth team. He is quality, age 16, 75 rated with all his skills

http://www.pesmaster.com/a-lobato/pes-2016/player/55282/

The only player i have paid money for is (at end of season1)
A. Halilovic for 28million, 21year old AMF 78 rated, team role: Smart Player! and 9 skill moves

Yea I had him for a bit on last years game, from what i remember he peaks very early and then starts to decline - decent player though.
I'm trying to stay away from regens for now until the inevitable retirements start to happen and then i'll be forced into it.

I was looking at Halilovic as a potential long term AMF but I might just go big and get James Rodríguez in my 2nd season! :D I would be interested to see some screenshots of Halilovic's progress for you in the future.

I think he could do well in a 4-2-3-1 as one of the two CMFs, maybe alongside Henderson?
I have just bought CASEMIRO and shipped out Lucas. Seems like a solid replacement.

I would play Sanches and Casemiro as the 2 in front of the back 4.
Lovely CMF duo! :thumbsup:

Thanks. Look forward to building a team that Gegenpresses the crap out of the opposition ;)
What formations do you use?

I am pretty happy with my signing A.Halilovic for 28mil, (only player i paid transfer money for, the rest are free agents)

After struggling to win many games in serie b with ~65 rated players and starting at 40 team spirit, managed to get promoted to serie A and had team spirit of like 65, put Halilovic as captain (with Smart Player role) and Team spirit jumped up to 84, and i could actually play! Also trying to get used to advanced shooting and keep missing 1 on 1's by hitting it over! First win in serie a and i actually scored some goals (on professional difficulity, once i get used to advanced shooting ill put it back up to Top Player).

It is happening again
28mil for a 78 rated player is a bit much! You'd never get that much from an AI team.

Just noticed that dark blue line on the dev graph, pretty useful.

I also play 4-2-3-1 but its more of a custom formation really that could also be viewed as a 4-3-3.

I think basic shooting is better this year, I tried advanced and i just kept blasting the ball over with even the lightest of shot power.

I think he was the youngest and cheapest player i could afford with 'smart player' team role.
