Another few games last night and a mixed bag.

We lost the first two games. The first game against Consadole Sapporo was a real sucker punch. We were probably the better team but struggled to create any clear cut opportunities, then in the 91st minute they cut us wide open with a late counter attacking goal.

The second game we were really poor and fell to a 3-1 defeat, no complaints.

We followed that up with two back to back 1-0 wins, including a dramatic 90th minute winner against Ehime FC.

All in all, still going strong but promotion won’t be a guarantee this season given how hard we have to work to get a win at the moment.

Okay, i kinda forgot how intense and rough the derbies are on PES 17, and this was no exception.
Me going in with a string of great games and a solid 3rd position in Serie A vs a Sampdoria second to last in the table.

Gloves came off straight away with 4 yellow cards for Sampdoria in the first half, should have been a red too if the ref had the guts to call a second yellow for Ricky Martinez
Game was dictated by me, created a lot of good chances first half and was 2-1 up.

Second half was just a battle to not get scored on some nice Sampdoria piled up a lot of chances, Muriel and Quagliarella being a real threat constantly.
Kept a cool head defending and managed to get myself a third goal and that was the final result
Completely drained after this game

My next game will be Vs Pescara, hope I don't get some derby backlash

Going well mate - Nothing better than a win against your rivals too! I have always found that PES captures the intensity of a Derby really well, you definitely see a change in gameplay and aggression from the CPU.

Well Vince was able to navigate a rocky start to taking over Houston but managed to pull the club out of the relegation at the last match of the season. And will be staying for second season at Houston, but with the major turnover of the squad for this off-season. Can we rebuild the club and avoid relegation places next season. Stay tuned for my next livestream to find out.

Great job mate, a nail biting season but hopefully you can build on it now and push up the league next season!

Here's something that I found quite interesting in my K-League campaign. When the award for Europe's best player was awarded, an 80-rated midfielder got first place in a runaway vote! Even though Evander has had a solid career from his Vasco da Gama days, it's still very interesting that an 80-rated player would win this award. Thought it was cool.

That is a bit unusual although something similar happened with Igor Jesus and my Santos save - He was only 76 OVR at the time but he ended up with a ridiculous amount of goals one season, I think it might have been over 50.

He won the South American player of the year even though there were a number of better players than him in terms of OVR.

Believe it or not, the same player won the same award on my game when I last did a ML on it.

I remember cos' I signed him the season after cos he was really cheap.
