PES 2021 Season Update Master League Thread

[jrnlgrn]

Transfer window is closed. Datapack has been released. Time to start those Master League saves.

I'm still waiting on the PESuniverse OF 3 before starting mine. Thinking of doing a ML in the Brasileiro or Italian Serie B. So many good options though it's hard to choose.

Anyway let the stories begin!

Re: PES 2021 Season Update Master League Thread

While waiting for Data Pack 2.0 and the updated option files, I've been messing around with various Master League seasons and completed 1 season each with Lille and Rangers (have to restart this now that you can select Gerrard ). Seeing what your scouts find for you and choosing only from that list is part of the fun, or it might otherwise get a bit stale getting the same players over and over again.

I don't have access to the PES Universe file, unfortunately, and am using a combination of files (the pesunites one plus some of the league-specific ones like MLS). I noticed that Data Pack 2.0 is missing some of the late window transfers (e.g. Rodon to Spurs) and you have to do some editing of squad numbers to get them accurate.

My plan is to run Granada ML (I like their kits and the stadium available on PC) really been into LaLiga the past two seasons.

Re: PES 2021 Season Update Master League Thread

I was waiting for the data pack 2.0 to start a long term Master league save and I decided to go with Valencia, they are really having some problems in the real life so I picked them to try to bring them to the old paths of glory of the club that was not so long ago "the best of the rest" in Spain.


I made some great changes in the first transfer window, got rid of most players that I thought weren't needed and brought in some nice talent.


Carles Alena from Barcelona. No paths for minutes there, 22 years old, still very young, but ready for a bigger role and a lot of minutes, he'll be a regular starter in my team and will be the main playmaker. I'm really happy that I managed to get him

Spoiler

Dominik Szobolai - A great youngster from Red Bull Salzburg. Only 20 years old but he is already ready to play. A complete midfielder who won't be starting for now but we'll give him minutes every chance I get, first off the bench and can replace both Alena and Kondogbia

Spoiler

Mario Balotelli - "No we're never gonna survive, unless
We are a little crazy" - To quote Seal, Super Mario is my favourite soccer/football games player because of his great talent which never got fully realized. I was always waiting for the right club for him where he will settle down and play his best but that never truly happened. So I brought him in Valencia as well, since he was a free agent I didn't have problems getting him. He's a backup striker, behind Maxi Gomez. Let's hope he'll be useful.

Spoiler

Sergino Dest (Loan) - Since I have no backup right full/wing back I had to get something. I didn't really have any money left so I was looking for a cheap option and Sergino Dest is what I was looking for. Young, talented, will get minutes as a backup.

Spoiler

Valentino Lazaro - I needed a right midfielder and Valentino Lazaro is the type of player I was looking for. Brought him from Borussia Monchengladbach. He can contribute both offensively and defensively, he's 24 and will fit nicely.

Spoiler

Here's the team and the formation.

Spoiler

The start of the season hasn't really been great. I played 0-0 against Athletic Bilbao at home, lost to Celta Vigo 1-0, Jovetic scored a goal late in the game in the game that was really close. Played 2-2 against Osasuna (Super Mario scored a goal!) and won 2-0 against Sevilla. I think the form will only improve as the new players will be playing together more and more.

I did a Valencia ML in PES 2017. Had A LOT of fun with them. Awesome kits, a good history, and some big boys to topple.

Also, played with Szobolai in a Red Bull Salzburg FIFA Player Career Mode. He was really good. He ended up getting sold to Lazio who we played in the UCL a year later. Hell of a player IRL too.

Re: PES 2021 Season Update Master League Thread

Okay I landed on a team RCD Espanyol. They've spent the most cumulative seasons in La Liga without winning the title, just been relegated. Their kits this year are really nice especially the 120th anniversary ones. Can't wait to start!

Good team to play with RDT should get you plenty of goals. Also recommend using the Espanol commentary.

I'm back at it boys and girls! Steven Gerrard is here to take over Southampton and lead them to tremendous glory and things are only just getting started.

Re: PES 2021 Season Update Master League Thread

RCD Espanyol ML is officially underway. First game up is against Leganes. Both player and tactic wise the team looks solid enough to be promoted without much tinkering. Let's go!

You going to upload any of your ML? Along with my EPL project I’m probably going to do a ML but not upload. Still haven’t decided who with yet but funnily enough Espanyol was a team I had considered. It will have to be a non English team. Maybe I might do a Serie B team. Lots of options and still loving this game.

Not sure if I'm going to upload videos for it yet.

Re: PES 2021 Season Update Master League Thread

I’ve made my mind up for my ML team that I will do when taking breaks from my EPL League. I’m going to go with Real Sociadad. It came down to them or Villarreal but after playing several games with each, Real Sociadad it is. Should be fun.

RCD Espanyol Introduce New Manager

Yesterday Emilio Álvarez was introduced as the new manager of RCD Espanyol. Álvarez was a surprise higher by the Barcelona based club. Born in Arequipa, Peru, The 43 year old Álvarez played as a midfielder for various clubs in his native Peru as well as a stint in neighboring Chile. Álvarez has spent the last 3 years as an assistant coach for the Peruvian national team as well a short interim manager of the second divisions Unión Huaral.

At his introductory press conference Emilio Alvarez appeared confident and stated that "I'm expecting hard work from end to end for 90 minutes every time we step on the pitch... we're a team and everyone is expected to give 100%" Later he went on to note that both he and the sporting director believe that anything less than promotion back to La Liga will be seen as a failure.

Álvarez makes his managerial debut at home against Leganés.

Re: PES 2021 Season Update Master League Thread

We are in the same boat as i'm playing with a similar side- Tenerife.

I recommend 18 year old Ghana winger Sulemana - rated 75. You can snatch him dirt cheap and Cordero - 22 year old Argentinian striker, rated 72, he has good size, he is playing for Huracan and he's dirt cheap as well.

How was your starting budget?

They gave me 500.000 € transfer budget and 300.000 € wage budget with Tenerife. I by the way make the transfer negotiation setting fairly difficulty to make it more realistic.

Good luck with Espanol by the way

I think my transfer budget is like $30 million but I'm using normal budget. Since I'm used to FIFA I have more house rules that keep things realistic so most of that budget probably wont get used.

Good luck with Tenerife!
