PES5 ML Thread (see new PES6 thread)

Re: The All New PES5 Master League Thread.

A cheeky pre-ML signing Db :mrgreen: Nice to see it's almost time for the big kick off.

Btw, what settings will you start with? Don't forget, if need be, you can change the difficulty level in between seasons.

When i started with 5000 points, on 6 stars, in Div2, i found it very hard going. But the dire financial situation really added to it. This was the first PES ML in which i felt genuine pressure of a potential 'Game Over' (in the 2nd season, as i had less points [about 2500] than in the first). You really look for the Bosman signings, if any at all (particularly if their wages are lower than a player's you wish to offload). All of a sudden, a free agent 30-something, nothing special CB or DMF signed on a 1 year contract , begins to look a lot more appealing, i'll tell you.

Div2 is where it's at for that sort of thing. Once in the top flight, you eventually get that money rolling in. I've recently covered this seasons wages, with 2 games to go until the winter break. I may even be tempted to make a signing.

Hi matey

shouldnt be long now - Svensson wont be getting his boots on part from on the training pitch though. as for his 'diving' boots well a leopard cant change his spots!!

What do u recommend, I'm going to be starting on 4* so would 5000 be suitable (bearing in mind im not as good a player as u)

With such a large squad i think transfers will be at a bare minimum, although there have been rumours flying around that a certain crazy haired peruvian may be given a trial in the none too distant future!

Re: The All New PES5 Master League Thread.

Nice site there Db.

 

[Professor Nutmeg]

Re: The All New PES5 Master League Thread.

Yeah Db, 4* 5000 points will probably be the one. I can only recommend making no signings in the 1st season though. What's your wage - About 11000?

 

[denirobob]

Re: The All New PES5 Master League Thread.

Hi mate, no idea yet im afraid - wouldnt think it'd be too massive although the squad is 4 or 5 players too many.

Well done on beating Real too btw, are you finding the top flight easier than you had expected ?

Thanks Stringer, still needs a fair amount of work, but i'm looking forawrd to getting to know the lads and find out what makes them tick.

My first impressions are that Ouadah considers himself the 'star' of the team, Meniri & Bassong looks good solid pros, Borbiconi is a ladies man, Proment is the waif like quiet lad, Contout thinks he's too good for this level and Tum is the all round good egg!

Hi mate

Svensson won't want any Charlie big Potatoes in his team i'm sure, might have to send him on loan to Amiens or something !

Seriously, it;ll be good to have one or two nuggets of quality in a cesspit of dirge.

Hello guys! First post here, but I've been lurking here for a good time

Love the stories by Prof. Nutmeg, DeniroBob, PLF, Nerf, Gerd, StringerBell, Mussav and all the others. I post my stories at PESFan, and as I'm starting a new ML, I'll post it here too.

I'm almost decided to start with NAC Breda on the Eredivisie, what do you guys think?

 

[Professor Nutmeg]

Re: The All New PES5 Master League Thread.

db

It wouldn't be the telltale ponytail, the immaculately sculpted goatee and the number 10 on his back would it? Ouadah, likes to go for the spectacular. Make sure he tries those long range efforts. Nokami didn't seem to recognise his freekick ability in the past. Don't forget to lower his socks too. No north African playmaker would be seen without them :mrgreen:

Well done on beating Real too btw, are you finding the top flight easier than you had expected ?

Thanks. Well, the pressure is off a bit in the top flight as you know you have a plethora of games to play through. The chances are you're going to win enough to avoid the bottom two, if not reach a decent midtable place. The odd win against top teams can take you higher though. I'm flying high at the moment, no way i'll win the league though. But who knows where i'll end up. But as i mentioned earlier. Div2 is where the true grit is.

NEC Nijmegen announces new manager!​

After firming a contract for 3 seasons, former Fulham manager Felippe Lacerda is now on the Eredivisie. NEC is on the second division at the moment, and the fans are happy with the move, as Lacerda took Fulham out of a difficult situation in the English Premiership some years ago.

Rumours appoint that besides his salary, NEC gave Felippe the following:

When asked about it, Lacerda said that "I won't comment anything of my particular life". He also said that "the squad needs more depth. We're specially week in the midfield departament", and then completed: "but we will work hard and perhaps be able to go to first division."

Stay tuned for news!

Re: The All New PES5 Master League Thread.

You know guys again I lost my interest in the Padova league.. Its so strange, I am playing AS Nancy as Padova and I win so easily of Internazionale, Juventus and a draw against AC Milan. I am currently placed 4th or something.. Hm I know I have Del Piero but most of the time he is on tour with Italy or taking rests.. Besided that my team is really nothing special..
I think I will go back to WE9 which was really hard with Bayern Leverkussen. I remember I couldnt even qualify myself for Europe!
Although I have no idea which team I should chose in WE9.. Any ideas?

Yes. The problem is that, apart from Marco, DeJackal and DonkeyHuylens it seems like everyone is posting stories without talking about the others. It was better when you, GregT, Marco, DeJackal and DonkeyHuylens were posting, in the "early days". Everyone commenting others players stories, etc. It was cooler.

Hi there. I'm reading through you stories from time to time and decided to post my own on here, now that I got over with the damn first year.
I'm playing with Bayern Munich in the first division on 5* difficulty, and won the double in the first year, so I already got some transfer activities going.
I think a starting post with a nice overview would be appreciated, if anyone is interested in another PES-players ML memoires. ^^

Matchday 1

vs.

FC Bayern - Ajax Amsterdam 4:0 (0:0)​

Strong Bayern-side needs only half an hour to outplay Ajax

The very first game of the season could've already shown the audience what could very well be a common image throughout the year. League champion and Cup winners Bayern Munich have taken the lead in the Bundesliga after crushing newly promoted Ajax Amsterdam with 4:0 (0:0) at home in the "Allianz Arena".
Carlos Tevez made it "Man Of The Match", directly assisting the goals of Jose Guerrero and Michael Ballack as well as showing off his incredible skills on several occassions. The small Argentinian striker was indeed already integrated in the team so well, that one must wonder why it took him so long to finally sign a contract for the Bavarians. However, 66.000 visitors witnessed a match of superb quality, and every fan must really look forward to Bayern Munichs Champions League campaign this year. With Tevez and Ballack on this level, and a defense that never even got close to danger, this well balanced team may be a surprise...

Goals:
1:0 Ze Roberto 56'
2:0 C. Pizarro 76'
3:0 P. Guerrero 85'
4:0 M. Ballack 90'

Re: The All New PES5 Master League Thread.

5*

Well I picked Benfica. Won the 2nd division. Nuno Gomes top scorer, and top assister, Nuno Assis, was the best overall player. Won the cup aswell.

Signings so far:

Neshmancy LB- Always pick him for ML, easy to sign, very solid in defence and cracking going foward, good crosses, and a nifty shot on him. Plus some very accurate and fast short passes.

Pope CB- Pace, Strength, Heading, Jumping. Everything you need in a defender does his job.

Berson DM- Great stanima, lots of tackles, intercepts, very useful distributer of the ball and can really keep hold of possesion. Best player of my second season in D1

Hakin Yakin- Technique, Strength, Shot power, general passing and the knack of scoring important goals

Daerden LMF- To be honest, his stats look good, cheap, hasn't really be used, being kept out of the side by other defualt benfica players.

Chihan H RB,RMF,CMF,DMF- Utillity player, Turkish, Technique, wears a neck warmer. Very solid stats, balanced, started off a bit dodgey, caught in possesion, wayard passing, now starting to show true potential.

Viduka. Brilliant PES player, always has been, good first touch, strong, good in the air, good close control etc

Thing is, all the defualt players (PESFAN V2) are all rarther good, so I'm not finding it a challenge. Just won the 1st division title with 5 games to spare and into the final of the cup, playing a 4-3-3 with two deep defending midfieldiers Berson and M.Fernandes (very nifty player, grows well) and a advanced AM. Micolli on the left of the attacking line, Simao on the right, or geovanni and Nuno Gomes/Viduka in the middle.

Nuno Gomes's positioning, first touch, composure and heading has got him to the top of the Total Goalscorers lists, with 48 goals, Trezeguet and Ronaldinho struggling to keep up with him.

Whilst it was enjoyable, once I win everything I'm gonna start with a really lowly team like you guys. Benfica do have some quality players to start with.

Re: The All New PES5 Master League Thread.

NEC Nijmegen

NEC 1 x 0 Willem II

Tininho dribble one player with a shoot fake, sprinted through another and crossed, just to Niedzielan net it home with a cool header.

NEC 1 x 1 FC Köln

FC Koln started by opening the score with an amazing play by Mokhtari. He dribbled two of my players and smashed it in the top corner. After the half-time Niedzielan scored again with a great shoot inside the box, top corner too.

NEC 2 x 0 FC Nürnberg

First Denneboom scored 1-1 on the keeper with a cool side foot touch, after an amazing pass by the 19 year CF Wolm. On the last minutes of the game, Barreto put a FK on the crossbar and seconds later the top scorer Niedzielan netted a screamer from 33 yards. I'll record this one and put it here.

NEC's top scorer Andrzej Niedzielan celebrating his beatiful goal.

League standings:

Club............Points....V/D/L....GD
FC Frankfurt......9.......3/0/0.....4
FC Kaiserslauten..7.......2/1/1.....4
[b]NEC Nijmegen......7.......2/1/1.....3[/b]

I'm playing with a 4-3-3 mainly because I just have 4 midfielders.

The main talents of the club seems to be Barreto (obviously - He's been the team main piece), Niedzielan (he nets all the oportunities), Wolm (19yr striker) and the midfielder Mormem (lots of pace).

Good to see some new people joining us like Peter Eyres and Dark Gallon!

Didnt you say you were thinking of NAC Breda though?? what happened you went for NEC?

Thanks!

Looking more carefully, I saw that NAC Breda's kit was a little bit ugly, and they had some class players like Hooijdonk, so I went to NEC (after reading your posts [and all the others], I can't play with GOOD teams on ML now =P). It's been a challenge, especially because they just have four MF's!

I'm playing on six stars. One league is La Liga, other Serie A, other EPL and mine is the Eredivisie. The only problem (I know you'll not like that =P) is that I made the second division with the worst German sides, as the Dutch teams aren't enough.

 

[Professor Nutmeg]

Re: The All New PES5 Master League Thread.

GFK mate. Did you start in Div1? Perhaps that's why you enthusiasm died. I can thoroughly recommend starting in Div2 with 5000 points on 6*, particularly if you go with a team who have a small squad.

Javi Guerrero denies Alavés with a hat-trick, constantly drawing level throughout the match.



Despite the ability to beat the top teams, Alavés still appear to struggle against the more average opposition in the Primera División. In recents weeks they've mangaged three successive draws.

In Sevilla and La Coruna, it was a case of one point gained for Alavés. However, against Celta it was a case of 'Tales of the Unexpected.' Not only did we see unlikely scorers Sarriegi and Josico both registering goals, but Celta's Javi Guerrero tormented El Professor's side, equalising after every Alavés goal. "We could have scored 10 goals tonight, but they would also have scored 10. Javi Guerrero was unstoppable tonight." said El Professor.

Alavés are currently fifth in the Primera División.

He is indeed mate. Almost made me want to sign the guy, despite his age. A cracking game for the neutral though. Guerrero's first was a bullet past Ardouin after a 1 on 1 (defensive howler). And his other two were great headers, after some useful service from De Ridder on the flank.

Apparently after a goalfest he likes to indulge in a spot of post-match shopping. Here he is just an hour after the game in town.

Re: The All New PES5 Master League Thread.

Hey guys, I've been lurking around these boards for a while; props to those who've shared their ML experiences here, it's been fun reading them. :applause:

I've just concluded my very first season in Division 1, playing as Manchester United on 4 stars difficulty. Managed to snag the league title, but a defeat to Chelsea in the cup final cost me my Double ambitions. :lol: Despite that, I'm still excited about competing in the WEFA champions league next season!

I've set up my leagues in this manner:

League A: 16 English Premiership clubs in the 1st division; 4 other English clubs in the 2nd division, accompanied by Rangers, Celtic, WE United and PES United. I took the effort to edit the ratings of WE and PES United team players to just 1, just to ensure that they'll *never* get promoted. Hopefully. \\:o/

League B: 11 selected Serie A teams, and 5 French Ligue 1 clubs (namely PSG, Monaco, Marseille, Lyon and Bordeaux).

League C: 13 selected La Liga teams, and 3 clubs from the Dutch Eredivisie (Ajax, PSV and Feyenoord).

League D: 11 selected Bundesliga teams, and 5 other clubs from the rest of Europe (Porto, Fenerbache, Anderlecht, Olympiakos and Dynamo Kiev).

Some end of season awards and mentions:
League A winners: Man. Utd
League B winners: AC Milan
League C winners: Barcelona
League D winners: Bayern Munich
WEFA Masters Cup winners: Arsenal
WEFA Champions League winners: Inter Milan
Golden Boot award: van Nistelrooy

Right now I'm still in the midst of pre-season. I've just finished renewing player contracts, as well as strengthened my squad in anticipation for a longer season. Only arranged for just one pre-season friendly, and that's against a team of Asia-Oceania All Stars. I'd like to think of this as some money-spinning tour of the Far East that's so in vogue for European teams these days.

My team is set up in the classic 4-4-2 diamond formation:

Starting eleven:
GK: E. van der Sar
CB: R. Ferdinand
CB: G. Heinz (usually plays as left-back for Man. Utd, but it seemed to make sense to stick him in central defence, as he has better defensive stats than Silvestre, but a weaker offensive rating)
RSB: Cicinho
LSB: M. Silvestre
DMF: Roy Keane (still my midfield anchor and captain, but creaking in the stamina department)
RMF: C. Ronaldo
LMF: R. Giggs (same complaints as Keane)
AMF: P. Scholes (did exceptionally well in my 1st season; seems to have undergone a revival in this role, always thought of him as the original 'man-in-the-hole' behind the strikers before Rooney arrived)
CF: W. Rooney
CF: van Nistelrooy

On the bench:
GK: M. Stelenkenberg (grooming him as van der Sar's successor, traded in my default 3rd choice keeper - whose name I have happily forgotten - for him during the mid season transfer window)
CB: J. Heitinga (mid-season signing, sometimes deputises as DMF)
CB: W. Brown
RSB: G. Neville (Cicinho came in mid-season, and totally out-peformed poor ol' Neville)
LSB: Maxwell (raided Ajax yet again for this player, quality left-back whom I hope will eventually take over Silvestre)
DMF: J. Mascherano (solid perfomer, and Keane's eventual successor. On a side note, I wish Sir Alex had the resources to make a swoop for him in real life )
RMF: D. Fletcher (consistent, but not spectacular. I think he's resigned himself to playing second fiddle to Ronaldo for the rest of his career at Man. Utd )
LMF: Q. Fortune
AMF: Park Ji Sung (looking at him to replace Giggs in future, with Rooney dropping back to fill in as AMF for Scholesy)
CF: Alan Smith (my super-sub when van Nistelrooy isn't firing)
CF: A. Caracciolo (yet another monster, he'll probably take van Nistelrooy's place in time to come)

Youth team:
GK: T. Howard (not exactly 'youth' per se, but he's my 3rd choice keeper now)
CB: G. Pique
SB: P. Bardsley
CMF: A. Muntari (an alternative midfield anchorman, but he's capable of playing on the left flank as well)
SMF: K. Richardson
AMF: S. Nasri
CF: D. Bellion
CF: G. Rossi

I'll be back with more details as my ML experience continues.
