Love the video and update mate 👍🏻 I did a long term save with Santos not so long ago and really enjoyed it.
The Brazilian calendar does get a bit hectic, especially when you throw Copa Libertadores in the mix too.

Episode 5: Pushing the Limits
Following the heavy rotation and defensive battles we had to endure in Episode 4, the reality of the Brasileirão calendar is truly testing the limits of this squad. We managed to hold the line, but surviving isn't the same as conquering.
In Episode 5, the pressure of fighting to stay at the summit is heavier than ever. Opponents are starting to figure out our tactical setups, the fatigue from the fixture density is very real, and we are having to rely heavily on our depth to step up when the starters are gassed or heavily marked. This is the part of Master League where every single point feels like an absolute war in the trenches.
A massive thank you to the wider EvoWeb modding community—the incredible stadiums, kits, and face packs keep this game feeling like a live, modern broadcast. The atmosphere at the Vila Belmiro right now is unmatched.
Drop your thoughts on the squad rotation and our tactical tweaks in the comments over on the video. The race to end the 22-year drought is wide open! 🐋👑

Episode 6: Turning the Tide
After the absolute trenches we had to fight through in the last couple of weeks, the squad is finally being forced to answer a massive question: do we have the mentality to stay in this title race, or was our early form just a fluke?
The fatigue is still real, but the chemistry is starting to click. We are figuring out how to break down the teams that just want to sit back and kick us off the park. This episode is all about finding that killer instinct and proving we deserve to wear the crown. The Brasileirão is unforgiving, but the giant is starting to wake up.

Felt the ML itch... So I scratched it by booting up PES 6 with an OF that has all the clubs from the 2006-07 Championship. I got the OF from this thread.
I'll update you guys every once in a while.

Like a week later and I already finished the ML.
I had played 5 minute matches and had a lot of free time this week so I was able to play a lot.
Played 3 seasons, and was able to win the treble, for the first time in over three years (having won the WEFA Championship for the first time in over two years).
It was not the greatest ML I've ever played but it did help me put some things into perspective regarding the game itself.
In PES 6, even when I play on Top Player + Very Hard, a traditional ML gets way too easy way too fast. It did make me think about giving myself a challenge to make things interesting (like, only signing players from one specific region for example). Also, I did realize 5 minutes is too short of a length for a match, because it all happens way too fast and I don't really get to enjoy it that much.
What I will say, is that the OF was very well done, and I had a lot of fun making personalized kits not just for Coventry, but for all clubs in my league.
But for now, I'll leave some screencaps I managed to get before wrapping it up. You can see the kits the club wore in that third and last season, and also special kits I made for the last three league games after confirming the treble win, which are based on the kits the club has in the OF itself, and therefore the ones we wore in the first season.

I'm posting on my youtube channel a full Master League with all matches
PES 21 Master League - Ottawa Rapid Season 1
Background:
This is the first season playing with my custom women’s league, called The Super League. I replaced the Russian Premier League with this league. The Super League contains 16 women's teams from around the world.
Pre-season:
The season started with our celebrity team owner, Dua Lipa, hiring me as manager of Ottawa Rapid FC.
The objectives for the season that I set for myself were: 1) Finish in 10th or higher, 2) Increase team spirit above 70, 3) re-sign all of my players to long term contracts. Immediately, the first objective I decided to tackle was re-signing my players. Now looking at my players salaries I was surprised at how low they were. Most of my players were making around $20K, with no one making more than $32K. So I gave all of my players realistic salaries. I started off by paying all of my top level players a base salary of $50K and developmental youth players $27K (Ontario Minimum wage). In order to pay my players these salaries I unfortunately, within my first week as manager, had to put the team into over $700K of debt. With all this debt, I now had a new objective, pay down the debt before the end of the season.
Season Start:
With all the salary issues dealt with, now was the time to start the season. And boy, what a bad hand we were dealt. Our first 3 matches of the season were against Chelsea (at home), Barca (away), and Chelsea (away tournament match). We ended up finishing the 3-game stretch with a 0-0 draw against Chelsea, followed by 4-2 losses against Barca and Chelsea. With our 4-2 loss against Chelsea, we were knocked out of the Super League World Cup tournament.
Derby Day Part 1:
Leading up to our first derby day of the season against our provincial rivals, AFC Toronto, we had to play 2 matches against Washington Spirit and Edo Queens. We ended up losing against Washington 4-2, but beating Edo 6-2. With the amazing performance against Edo Queens, I felt pretty confident that we could beat AFC Toronto. Man, I was wrong. We lost to Toronto 3-1. At this point after 6 matches we were able to accumulate 7 points out of a potential 18.
End of 1st half of season:
Over the next few months, following our derby loss, we were able to accumulate another 11 points out of a possible 24. With 18 points by the midpoint of the season we were in 11th place. Which was on track with my objective of ending the season in 10th or higher. Our relatively good placement was due to our amazing offence led by our CF DB Pridham. Ottawa had 37 goals over the first 14 games of the season, with DB scoring 19 of them. Our defence on the other hand was the worst in the league, allowing a whopping 40 goals over 14 matches.
Ideally, I would’ve liked to have bolstered our defence with some new talent during the upcoming transfer window, but the team was still heavily in debt. Over the first 5 months of the season we had only paid off about $160K of the over $700K in debt. This meant that during the upcoming transfer window, we could not sign any new players. Also, given our rate of repayment, I was worried that I might end the season still in significant debt.
(Also, as a side note, because there aren't any segregated leagues in PES, when the transfer window opened up all the rich teams, like Washington Spirit, immediately signed male players. So much for women's empowerment and women's solidarity, I guess.)
2nd Half start:
With our inability to sign new players to help bolster our defence. I decided to switch up our tactics. During the first half of the season I used a 4-3-3 scheme. Going forward I decided to try out a 4-5-1 scheme.
This new scheme seemed to have an immediate effect on our performance. To start off the second half of the season we had matches against: Chelsea, Barca, and Rosengard. We lost to Chelsea (3-0), beat Barca (3-0), and trounced Rosengard (7-2).
Derby Day Part 2:
After a humiliating defeat against our provincial rivals the first time around, I was determined to win this upcoming match. Leading up to our second derby day, we yet again lost to Washington, and only managed a 3-3 draw against Edo Queens. Despite our less than stellar pre-derby performances, we were able to defeat AFC Toronto 3-2. The only downside was that our star player, DB Pridham, was knocked out with a bone fracture in her leg for a month. A result of a dirty slide tackle from Toronto defender Croix Soto.
Final stretch of the season:
Our derby day victory catapulted us into 8th place, above our target of 10th. With our upcoming 3 game stretch against Tokyo, Portland, and Corinthians, we could've ended up rising to 6th place if we swept all 3 teams. The only problem is that these 3 crucial matches occurred during the month that DB Pridham was out. As a result our offence lacked the firepower necessary to win all 3 matches. We ended up drawing against Tokyo (2-2), beating Portland (2-1), and losing to Corinthians (3-1). With those results, we unfortunately were stuck at 8th.
After DB’s return our team went on a 4 game winning streak, easily defeating even high calibre teams like Wolfsburg (4-1) and OL Lyonnes (5-2). We unfortunately couldn't finish the season off with a win streak, because we lost our final match to Wuhan (1-0). With Wuhan scoring in the 90th minute.
End of Season 1 results:
With our loss to Wuhan we fell from 8th place to 10th place, which luckily was our season objective. Thanks to our success throughout the season I was able to increase team spirit from 55 to 77. Because I ended the season in 10th place, the team owner decided to extend my contract and allocated $9.75M from season revenues to our salary budget. This allowed the team to be able to pay off the remaining $240K in debt that we had left. With $9.5M available, I can now sign new players to help bolster my defense. I am currently in negotiations to sign Mapi León from Barca and Ingrid Syrstad Engen from Lyonnes.

Sorry mate, I missed this. PS5 (transferred from PS4). Unfortunately I don’t have a powerful enough PC to play modded versions but with a few tweaks to CPU playing styles and tactics you can still have a fantastic experience with PES21 on console (in my opinion).

Hello guys!
A week ago I started a brand new ML on PES 6, with a few rules to make the save feel a bit more... realistic maybe(?) in comparison to the Coventry City one:
1. Since I chose to play as a dutch club (NEC Nijmegen) I am not allowed to sign players from any of the following nationalities: Spain, France, England, Italy and Germany. Basically the countries with the five biggest leagues in Europe.
2. At least 50% of my squad must be composed of dutch players, and I must have at least three of them in my main lineup.
3. I am allowed to sign a maximum of three players each transfer window, but I also must sell the same amount of players as the ones I sign (or more, if necessary).
With these rules, here's my current squad (4-3-1-2 formation):
Most of my team is still composed by players that were already in the club when I started the ML, being joined by newcomers Sousa, Jovancevic and Komol in the 2006 winter transfer window and then Rosenberg and Menegazzo joining on a free transfer in the '06 summer window. Those first two windows were mostly used to sell players I wasn't planning on using, plus training up the ones that I want to keep for as much as I can.
As of right now, the clear MVP of the save has been one of my two strikers, and club captain Romano Denneboom, who has managed to be the most clinical goalscorer I have had in a while (to the point that he currently sits 7th in the all-time goalscorers table, and is also the forward with the highest average performance rating in all leagues).
6 games into my second season (and first season in the 1st Div) we currently sit 1st in the league table with 5 wins and 1 draw, being one point above unlikely chasers Stade Rennais.
PSV Eindhoven has had a very bad start of the season, currently sitting in the relegation zone, which is surprising since they managed to sign the likes of Dirk Kuyt, Timo Hildebrand and Miroslav Klose.
Among other curious signings that the rest of the teams in my league have made so far I can mention Lukas Podolski going to Olympique de Marseille, Javier Saviola to Olympique de Lyon, Rivaldo to Ajax and Gonzalo Higuaín signing for Utrecht.
My plan isn't really to win the league right away despite our stellar start, but I do think we have a good enough team to challenge for that WEFA Championship qualification.
I'll most likely give a new update once I reach the winter transfer window, but for now that's all! Have a nice one folks

What’s up everyone,
Episode 7 of the Santos rebuild is officially live!
The fixture congestion is really starting to hit the squad hard in this one. We had a tough run of games that tested our depth and forced us to really grind out some results.

Massive thanks for all the support and tactical feedback on the save so far. Let me know what you think of the games this week down in the replies!

NEC Nijmegen PES 6 ML - Winter '07 Update
Hello guys!
Yesterday, I finally reached the halfway point of the season. And I might have to tell you, I think the Denneboom-Rosenberh attacking duo may end up visiting fellow dutch city The Hague to be judged over their war crimes against the other clubs in the league
15 games into the league season, and we have scored 41 goals. Out of those 41 goals, 34 were scored by either Denneboom or Rosenberg...
I don't think I have ever had a duo this lethal in any of my previous MLs. Both of them are sharing the top goalscorer table with 17 goals each (Rosenberg being the most consistent, having scored at least one in every single league game so far). Needless to say, we have already started absolutely dominating this league.

Hello guys!
Yesterday, I finally reached the halfway point of the season. And I might have to tell you, I think the Denneboom-Rosenberh attacking duo may end up visiting fellow dutch city The Hague to be judged over their war crimes against the other clubs in the league
15 games into the league season, and we have scored 41 goals. Out of those 41 goals, 34 were scored by either Denneboom or Rosenberg...
I don't think I have ever had a duo this lethal in any of my previous MLs. Both of them are sharing the top goalscorer table with 17 goals each (Rosenberg being the most consistent, having scored at least one in every single league game so far). Needless to say, we have already started absolutely dominating this league.

PES 6 NEC Nijmegen Master League - 2007 End of Season Update
Well, Season 2 is finally done and dusted.
I honestly wasn't expecting to be this dominant with a team with which I barely made any signings but again, the league you choose to play in does matter.
I didn't unlock the ML Composition before getting it started, meaning I had to choose between the leagues the game builds for you. And considering I chose to play as a dutch club, I just felt it made sense to play in the French/Dutch League. However, it turned out to be quite nerfed, considering the likes of Monaco and PSG were excluded.
Regardless, I have grown quite fond of this team and I am enjoying to see the growth of my stars as time passes: my Day 1's such as Denneboom, Barreto and Worm alongside some key signings like Rosenberg and newcomer Jovancevic.
During the winter I made two signings: uruguayan Diego "La Tota" Lugano and also Vittek, from Slovakia. The earlier quickly earned his place in the starting lineup, even wearing the captain armband whenever I felt like giving Denneboom a rest (mostly in cup games). Vittek didn't really do much in the league, but the Cup was his moment to shine. 6 goals in 5 games saw him share the Top Goalscorer in the Cup, alongside teammate Rutger Worm, a young player that has been in our squad since the very beginning and has really started to make a name for himself.
I used two different squad throughout the season, saving the main squad for league games, while giving playing minutes to the B squad in the Cup. And that worked, as we managed to pull off the League and Cup double! Worm scored a dramatic winner in the 90th minute in the final against Ajax, while the very same Ajax got battered 5-1 by the main squad on matchday 23 to see us secure the League title with 7 games in hand (would hate to be an Ajax fan right now honestly).
Romano Denneboom was again our main man, being named both the League's MVP and Top Goalscorer.
In the summer transfer window, we saw some good friends saying farewell: Niedzielan, who was our first choice striker alongside Denneboom in our 1st season, Kivuvu, a young midfielder who sadly never found a place in the squad, and last but not least Boutahar, our first choice Attacking Midfielder, who was part of our attacking trio alongside Denneboom and Rosenberg. He says goodbye to our team while leaving for Getafe.
Boutahar's departure meant we needed someone to fill in that position, and I have decided to promote Jovancevic, who really proved himself this season especially with his crucial goals in our cup run. And finally, replacing Jovancevic as the second choice AM, we signed venezuelan midfielder Juan Arango, who will be a very good card hidden up our sleeve.
I will actually take a break from this ML (for at least a month), that way I can focus on both finishing this semester in college, as well as enjoying the upcoming World Cup. I will most likely resume the save as soon as the WC is over.
But for now, here are some final screenshots to wrap up the season:

League 1
Apologies for the lack of updates again all. I have been racking up a lot of game time but family life has been busy too and I have not had the chance to do some detailed updates here.
I have just finished season 9 of my initial Colo-Colo save. Rather than try to catch up I thought I would just post an overview of all seasons here. I’ve decided to end the save at this point. I am not a massive fan of the regen system in PES and after 9 seasons it is becoming a bit of a problem for me.
There are more detailed posts up to Season 5 earlier in this thread if people want to check them out 👍🏻
Season 1 - Colo-Colo
Our starting point was Chile and with the most successful club in the country, Colo-Colo. The initial squad was pretty average, with some improvement definitely needed to challenge for the title and continental honours.
We had a pretty decent league season. Despite finishing second we were never really in contention for the title.
Away from the league, our Copa Libertadores form was really taking off. I had no expectations of winning the Libertadores at our first attempt but things just seemed to fall in to place. We held our nerve and navigated the group stage and knockout rounds pretty convincingly.
A 1-0 victory in the final against Sao Paolo meant we were champions of South America in our very first season!
Season 2 - Colo-Colo
Season 2 was an interesting one. We had some real momentum after winning the Libertadores but I did tweak the side with quite a few new signings.
Our Team Spirit took a hit and we struggled for early season form. Defeated in the Copa Chile final and struggling in the Libertadores it was a pretty poor start.
Our league form picked up and we managed to win our first Chilean league title. Unfortunately the Libertadores form was a slog and we exited at the QF stage to a very good Boca Juniors team. No successive Libertadores titles for us!
Season 3 - Colo-Colo
Despite disappointment in the Libertadores and Copa Chile I was excited heading in to season 3. We added a couple more signings to really finish the squad off and I was confident that we could challenge on all fronts.
The league campaign was intense but we came out on top in a pretty tight title race against Universidad Católica. We also managed to land our first Copa Chile title as we defeated Deportes Melipilla in a pretty one sided final.
My real aim was to win another Libertadores title. What an achievement it would be to win two Libertadores with a side from Chile. We steamrolled the group and grew even stronger as the tournament went on. We made it to another final and defeated another Brazilian team to win our second Libertadores. This time we came out 2-1 winners against Atletico Mineiro.
Season 4 - Rosario Central
After winning everything with Colo-Colo the time felt right for a new challenge. I had a quick scan of the other South American leagues and spotted Rosario Central languishing at the bottom of the Argentine league.
They accepted my application and it was time to get to work to help turn their fortunes around. The squad was full of real talent, with a 37 year old Angel Di Maria as one of the stars. It was massively bloated though and my first job was to trim it down to 20-22 players. We sold around 10 players in my first season and consolidated in mid-table.
They had previously qualified for the Copa Libertadores but our main aim was improving the league form. We crashed out of the group stages and never really prioritised it.
Season 5 - Rosario Central
I was confident heading in to season 2 with Rosario. We ended the season positively with some great results in the league. We bolstered the attack and defence in the transfer window. With no Copa Libertadores football it felt like a real opportunity to take on the domestic trophies.
We bagged our first trophy as we defeated Estudiantes in the Copa Argentina final.
Our league form was pretty consistent too and we managed to claim our first league title during my first full season in charge.
Season 6 - Rosario Central
With domestic trophies in the bag my attention definitely turned to another Copa Libertadores title and my first with Rosario. I made the big decision of selling Di Maria, but a £40m transfer fee from FC Porto was too good to turn down for a 38 year old who was clearly on the decline.
The funds meant we could really invest in the squad.
We retained the Copa Argentina and league title. Tallares were the surprise package and they pushed us all the way in a decent title race. We managed to win it with 3 games to spare.
The Copa Libertadores splits across two seasons in the Argentine calendar. As a result, we finished the season qualifying from the group and winning our Round of 16 tie. The quarter finals would pick up next season.
Season 7 - Rosario Central
With the Copa Libertadores QF on the horizon our early season prep was all about keeping players fresh and fit for the final stages of the competition.
Our form was excellent and we started off the season with a third successive Copa Argentina.
We managed to progress through the knockout stages of the Copa Libertadores to set up a final against SC Barcelona of Ecuador. It felt strange to have such a high profile final in the middle of a season but we rose to the occasion to bring home another Copa Libertadores title. The first with Rosario.
We went on to win another league title to secure a historic treble and round off a fantastic period with Rosario.
Season 8 - Fluminense
I had reached a similar point with Rosario where I felt like it was time for one more challenge in this save. This time, it was Fluminense who were sitting in 18th position in the Brazilian Serie A. After 12 games they were 7 points from safety and really struggling for form.
It felt like a really fresh challenge after having so much success with Rosario.
The main aim was to keep Fluminense in Serie A. The squad had some really talented players who had clearly underperformed. We had some mixed results to begin with but our form really picked up during the second half of the season. We steered clear from relegation and found ourselves in mid table with a few games remaining.
A really strong push towards the end of the season meant that we finished in 6th place and qualified for the Copa Libertadores Qualifying Round. What a turnaround!
Season 9 - Fluminense
I’d decided that this would be my final season of the save, no matter the outcome. As a result I really wanted to push on and go all out for every trophy.
We strengthened the squad, with Coritiba’s Igor Jesus (currently at Nottingham Forest) our best signing. He went on to score 35 goals across the season as we hit new levels.
We won the Copa Brasil and won the league at a canter. The final gap between 2nd placed Flamengo was 35 points.
That left the Copa Libertadores. We navigated the qualifying round and group stages with ease. We survived a scare in the Quarter Final against Argentine side Lanus. They held us to a 1-1 draw at home in the first leg but we ran out 2-0 winners in the away leg.
The final was an all Brazilian affair against Atletico Mineiro. It was a really cagey game but we managed to score in the 56th minute and hold out for my fourth Copa Libertadores title, completing another fantastic treble. This time, with Fluminense.
This has been such an enjoyable save and I have had so much fun flicking between some of the biggest teams in South America. 4 Copa Libertadores titles is a massive highlight but in a really strange way my favourite achievement was probably steering Fluminense away from a relegation battle and finishing in a qualification spot for the Libertadores.
I have started a new ML save with Independiente Medellin as I did not quite manage to squeeze in a Colombian team. The Colombian league format is a bit crazy and I have never completed a long term save here. Hopefully I can drop some updates in shortly with more success 👍🏻
