The problem with Messi/Kaka/Robben/Cristiano is the A.I of your defenders and the player switching which only picks the players behind them.
What usually happens is Messi/Kaka/Robben/Cristiano will pick the ball up and start to run. Your closest player is behind them and the only way to switch to the defender is to stop you player and wait until they are near your defence, the thing is your defence are know running backwards and by the time you have switched players they are already through on goal. In previous PES's the defenders did no do this and the player switching was better and it was easier to defend against them.
Konami messed up when it comes to defence A.I and player switching.
The team I choose is Aston Villa with Heskey and Carew up front.
I use 4-3-3 with 4 CB as LB/RB will always bomb forward no matter how you set there defence. This helps against Messi and co as I will always have 4 defenders defending even when I have corners or free-kicks.
