Hi, my name is Chandra. I make this guide for help you to buy some great
players. I know, many people like playing Master League mode. With this
guide, it doesn't ensure that you will easily beat your opponent. Need
hard work to win the title. My progress is good, although I stayed on
Division 2 for two years. I realize that this guide isn't complete yet,
so help me to improve this guide. I will give you full credit. If you
find some mistakes, contact me immediately. Remember, I hate SPAM!
==========================================================================
2) Starting your ML team
Start your ML team. From Main Menu, go to Master League and select New Game.
There are 3 options :
1. Default ML team player
2. Using real Team and player
3. Create yur own team
In this guide, I select Default ML team player and I choose Atlanta.
After that, select your difficulty, master league difficulty, frequency
transfer, and develop player. To set your difficulty and ML difficulty, I
recommend that not higher than your skill. Now, lets begin.
There are 2 ways to gain EXP :
1. You can gain EXP from match. Acctually, you can gain more EXP from scoring
goal. For every 100 %, your player's ability gain one point.
2. By doing training. If you training your player at off season, they gain a
little EXP. You also can adjust your player to specific training. Here are the
options for doing specific training :
- Attack : Improve attack, shot accuracy, shot power, and shot technique.
- Defence : Improve defence.
- Balance : Improve body balance.
- Speed : Improve top speed and accelaration.
- Stamina : Improve stamina and responsive.
- Dribble : Improve dribble speed and dribble accuracy.
- Pass : Improve short pass speed, short pass accuracy, long pass speed, and
long pass accuracy.
- Goalkeeper : Improve GK skill.
- Free Kick : Improve Free kick and swerve.
- Header : Improve header and jump.
- Team work : Improve team work.
Everytime you train them, the player will get 25 % fatique. Make full rest
after their fatique level 50 % or else your player can be injured.
===========================================================================
4) Growth chart
This type is growing fast. After his curve go up, he can still growing
but with little EXP because he enter standard development curve.
Good example : Gerrard and Lampard.
As you can see, this type will go up and then slide down. But it wll go up
more faster and more stronger player.
Good example : Pirlo, Van Der Sar, and Lehmann.
This type get very little EXP. You must train him hard. His curve is lasting
so you can use him longer.
Goor Example : Maldini, Stam, Cafu, and Serginho.

----------Formation----------
Well, it is up to you to choose your team formation. My formation is 4-4-2A
with following line-up:
GK - Lothar
CB - El Moubarki
CB - Jaric
SB - Giersen
SB - Ruskin
DMF - Van Den Berg
CMF - Fouque
AMF - Ettori
AMF - Hamsum
CF - Ordaz
CF - Gutierrez
For my defense, I don't have any problem.
For my midfielder, maybe my both SMF have problem because they don't have
much speed.
For my foward, it is still OK.
Remember, you don't need make your formation like me. It is just guide so
its up to your chooice.
============================================================================
6) First Year
After an around 10 matches (7 league matches and 3 cup matches), you can
make transfer. Maybe you want to buy some players that are needed for your
team. Here some recommendation players that you maybe want to transfer
(note: if I make GK - xxx (17), it means player xxx play on GK position and
age 17) :
GK – Carini (28) - Great backup or good keeper for 1st season to replace
oldies/retiring/crap keepers, has 90 response at start (credits: 1337onator or
Reb3llist).
GK - Yohan Pele (23): Is awesome, still young and cheap, he grows to become a
great keeper, but not the best (credits: 1337onator or Reb3llist).
WF - Lee Chun Soo (26) : A great Winger. You can place him as SMF and AMF
position. He is Korean. He grows until age 26. And you know that at age
25, his all stats are over 76. He is great for set piece taker (His FK
accuracy is 96 and Swerve is 95).
CF - Farfan (21): He is great CF I've ever had. At start, he maybe crap. At
age 26, he is like beast (with attack, balance, stamina, top speed,
accelaration, shot power, and dribble speed all 95!).
SB - Hinkel (20s) - He has excellent running and dribbling, anytime you want
to do a roulette (PES Technique involving the R3 stick) you can count on him
(credits: 1337onator or Reb3llist).
Holding MC/AMC - Figueireido or Figueiredo (Brazilian) (24ish) - A good holding
midfielder, tall and good at shooting from distance, a must buy for weak teams
(credits: 1337onator or Reb3llist).
Running SMF/CF - Walcott (18) Very fast and pacy. He also has an early peak
growth (credits: 1337onator or Reb3llist).
Running SMF/CF - Dotan (25) Very fast, bad body balance and great for lower
teams, American and is great as backup as well as runner. (credits: 1337onator
or Reb3llist).
Well, I think that's all for my first year. If you know another players,
please email me. I will give you full credits. I know, my team isn't strong
enough. My team didn't qualify to Division 1. First year has been done.
My team popularity is D.
===========================================================================
7) Second Year
For second year, here are some players you may look :
GK - Van Der Sar (17): This keeper really good. At age 22 his stats are
excellent (Defence: 97, Response: 97, Shot Power: 93, GK Skill: 96). You can
grow his abilities more than me if you train him well.
CB - Maldini (17): He is good defender with some good stats. At age 22, he
is great with defence: 94 and other stats are over 67 (except GK skill).
Thats my recommended player for second year. Maybe its enough for your next
season. Don't forget to sell your old player by adding them on possible
transfer.
Here are some sensible signing (some of them are already retired):
GK - Ahmet (17): I heard, he is good goalkeeper. I don't buy him so I don't
know how fast he grows.
GK - Lehmann (17): At age 17, Lehmann has great body balance and Response.
His development curve nearly same with Van Der Sar.
GK - Cech (23): Cech is world class keeper with fast development curve for 3
years.
CB - Thuram (17): Thuram is decent at first but grow fast at age 21.
CB - F. Cannavaro (17): If you see him on new comer, recruit him. His header
and jump stats are great.
WF - Nani (19): He is from Man Utd. He can play as SMF and AMF. At first,
his stats are crap. At age 25, his stats are beast (with speed,accelaration,
dribble speed, dribble accuracy, and shot power over 95!).
CF - Aguero (17): At first, his stats are good. When you develop him to age
25, you will see that he is like beast (with top speed and accelaration 97).
He is from Atletico Madrid.
CF - Torres (23): Torres is great player from Liverpool. He already has
great stats, especially shot stats. You can develop him for 3 years.
CF - Shevchenko (17): He has great shot stats although other stats are
decent.
CMF - Fabregas (18) : His default stats are crap. But when he reach his
peak age, he is better than Gerrard. He is good for executing set piece.
CF - Messi (18) : He has great speed and dribble stats. If you train him
well, he is like beast. He is one of the best player that worth to buy.
SB - Dagaka (19) : He has great top speed and accelaration. You can use
him fo 4 years. At age 3, his top speed is 98 and his accelaration is 97.
SS - Kaka (19) : He has great dribble stats. He also has good abilities
overall. He grows quite fast.
CF - CY Park (20) : He is really great if you train him well. He is Korean.
He grow very fast.
SB - Lahm (21) : Although his stats are decent at first, he is great
defender overall.
CF - Villa (20) : He is from Velencia. He has great development curve
and fast grow. Maybe he is one of the best Forward in this game.
DMF - Pirlo (24) : Come with great long pass ability, Pirlo can become your
great playmaker.
CF - Smith (24) : He is from Newcastle. He has great development curve
for 3 years. His ability is growing very fast.
SMF - Odonkor (24) : He has excellent speed. With his young age, you can
develop him further. Good for SMF.
CF - Dos Santos (18) : His stats are very crap at first year. After some
years passed by, he is very dangerous player. I recommend you to buy this
player.
CF - Chiesa (17) : If you see him on new comer, go get him immediately.
He is really great. You can use him for 8 years.
AMF - Maxi Rodhiquez (25) : He has great stats at age 28 (with attack,
balance, top speed, accelaration, dribble speed, shot accuracy are 95).
One of the best midfielder in the game maybe.
CF - Adriano (24) : Man, this player has 99 shot power. He can grow for 2
years. He is from Inter Milan.
MF - Mascherano (22) : He is from Liverpool. He has great top speed,
accelaration, attack, defence, and balance at age 26.
CF - Ibrahimovic (24) : He has great body balance and shot tecnique.
You can train him for 3 years.
CMF - Sneijder (23) : He is from Real Madrid. He has great long pass
and short pass with passing special ability. Great for executing Set
Piece.
SB - Emmanuelson (20) : He is great SB with good abilities overall. You
can use him for 4 years.
CMF, AMF, SMF, WF – Ribery : Put it for SMF, fast, great passing and
shooting...at his peak (credits : Patrick Paris).
CF - Martins & D.Bent: The two fastest strikers (credits : Patrick Paris).
Well, I think that's all for sensible signing. I hope this guide is useful
for you. I realize that this guide isn't perfect enough so I hope you help
me to improve this by giving another players that has great stats and
development curve. I will give you full credit.
===========================================================================
9) Newcomers
Newcomers are players that created by Konami. Some of them are not always
born the same time. There are so many newcomer players. Here are some of them
that are based on my experience:
SB - Hoffman (17): I found him while searching Wolf (GK). He is good and fast
growing. I see his stats are great for SB (almost all over 72).
MF - Shaw (17): This player is random appear on new comer. Get him immediately
when you see him, because he has excellent stats.
MF - Shimizu (17): Like Shaw, he is random appear on new comer. I heard, He
has excellent stats.
AMF - Kaiser (17): When I see him, his salary is high (846). I recruit him
because he has good stats overall.
CF - Orellano (17): His speed is unstopable (top speed: 94, accelaration:
95) at age 17. His shot stats are good with one-on-one keeper special
ability. His peak age is 27.
CB - Palmieri 188cm (17): Comes with the newcomers the second year...one of
the best future defenders, mentality 95...defence, response, header, jump,
teamwork and body balance above 80. Peak around 22 years, fast develop
(credits : Patrick Paris).
CMF, AMF, SS, CF – Yamada (17): First year newcomer, will develop into the
best striker or SS. Almost every stat above 80. peak around 20-21 years...,
fast improvement, lasting (credits : Patrick Paris).
