I have found that it prolongs some of my saves too as you have to build the squad more organically, rather than just filling it with superstars once your funds start to grow.

League 2
We reach the halfway point in season 2 of my JEF United Master League and we find ourselves in a fantastic position after a really good first half of the season:
We sit 4 points clear at the top of the table, a massive overachievement based on our squad and resources. We have remained hard to beat, with just 4 league goals conceded so far we have relied on our defensive ability as the basis of our success.
Goals have still been hard to come by but we have managed to grab a few 1-0 wins and snatch some late winners.
The form of last seasons top teams (Yokohama F. Marinos, Urawa Reds and Kawasaki) has been really poor, meaning we have been able to take advantage of a really open league this season.
Oda has been in fantastic form up front, the 20 year old has really stepped up this season and looks to be our key player as we head into the second half of the season.
Luongo and Kikuchi have been the pick of our new signings. Luongo has dominated several opponents from CM and Kikuchi has been a massive part of our defensive success at CB.
One of the main highlights of the season so far was a late 1-0 win against our Prefecture rivals, Kashiwa Reysol. Yajima came off the bench to tap home an 86th minute winner 🙌🏻
Unfortunately we crashed out of The Emperors Cup again in the second round. Kashima Antlers got the better of us in a very tight two legged affair.
I was really disappointed to go out of the cup as I did see this as a real opportunity to potentially advance quite far in the competition.
However, on the bright side, it means we can now fully concentrate on the league campaign and avoid a few fixture pile ups with a small squad.
All in all a fantastic first half to the season but it will be interesting to see if we can keep setting the pace throughout. We definitely need to add some goals to our game but I am going to keep faith in the current squad for now and avoid any major signings as we approach the mid-season transfer window.

4 goals conceded in 19 games is quite an insane stat. But I would be worried about my attacking play if I was you, 16 goals is pretty underwhelming. I think you should buy or at least loan in a decent attacking player (a new partner for Oda or perhaps a new attacking mid) if you want to keep up the title chase.We reach the halfway point in season 2 of my JEF United Master League and we find ourselves in a fantastic position after a really good first half of the season:

Cheers mate and you’re right, a lot of our dropped points have been 0-0 draws and a lot of our wins have been by the odd goal. Definitely not sustainable over a season if the goals do dry up even further.
There’s a couple of players who I like the look of but our budget is right on the brink. I might sit tight until the end of the season and then get players who I truly want, but as you say the risk is that we fall slightly short. To be honest I probably had next season ear marked as a possible chance to challenge for the title, so anything this season would be a bonus.

Yeah I suspected your transfer budget might be the reason. Maybe you could try getting some (realistic) youth academy striker in. Either way it'll be very impressive if you manage to win this season. Good luck!

8 games left and the title race is hotting up as we approach the business end of the season:
I made the decision not to add any new signings during the mid-season transfer window in the hope that we could continue our good run of form from the first half of the season.
Goals have been much easier to come by and we have continued to perform pretty well defensively.
We held a 9 point lead at one point but recent defeats to Sanfrecce Hiroshima and Gamba Osaka have allowed Kawasaki Frontale to close the gap back to 4 points. They have been relentless during the second half of the season and they are the in form team in the league.
We still have some tricky fixtures remaining during the title run in, with games against Vissel Kobe, Nagoya and Shimizu S-Pulse still to come.
Our next match? A top of the table clash against second placed Kawasaki. A win would be massive and put us in a fantastic position with just 7 games remaining. A defeat would really crank up the pressure and see our lead cut to just one point.
Forza Chiba

I thought I would do a little deep dive into our top of the table clash against Kawasaki Frontale.
There were no issues with form arrows or players being unavailable, as a result we were able to field our strongest team for this one:
The first half started quite slow. I think, subconsciously, I was a bit more mindful of making any mistakes. I second guessed every pass and was probably a bit too cautious to begin with. Kawasaki were resilient but after the first 30 minutes both sides had offered little to show for their respective league positions. We grew in confidence and then gave them a real hammering for the last 15 minutes, Luongo hit the post with a close range effort just before HT and we should have gone in 1 nil up.
We started the second half in a similar vein but just could not find a breakthrough. Kawasaki started to get a foothold in the game and created a few half chances. It looked like we might have missed our chance to score whilst we were on top.
Then, we managed to catch them on the break in the latter stages of the game. Suzuki picked up the ball just inside our own half and played a fantastic chipped through ball over to Wakatsuki who just managed to evade a last ditch challenge from Subotic. He was through, 1 on 1, and calmly slotted the ball into the bottom right hand corner.
We managed to see out a few late Kawasaki attacks but overall we were largely comfortable. A massive win and we go 7 points clear in the league with just 7 games remaining 🙌🏻

My PES 6 Serie A Napoli Master League.
I started in Serie B. I created Napoli, Genoa, and Lecce. I added 4 Serie A teams and Juventus who were in Serie B that year. Juventus won Serie B and I came in second. I created Hamsik, Gargano, and Lavezzi with their PES 08 stats as free agents then I signed them for the 2007 season like in real life. I only sign 4 players a season and I want to keep the team 50% Italian. Other good players I have signed are Akinfeev, Aquilani, and Modric. I usually dont sign the PES original 17 year old rookie players but I signed Orellano because I didn't have a lot of money. I will sell him soon. Also a few good older Italian back up players.
In season 2, I did terrible. I came in 9th place. At one point I thought I could get relegated, I was doing so bad. I made it to the Semi finals of the Coppa Italia. For some season that means that I am in the Knock out stage of the UEFA Cup in season 3. I think Serie A has the best teams in the game. My Napoli team probably is the best squad of the 4 MLs I am doing right now in PES 6, but I am doing the worst.
In season 3, I am a quarter of a way through the season. I am in 4th place. I should be able to do well in the league because I am not in Europe till the end of the season. Lavezzi and Calaio currently have the most goals in Serie A this season.

League 2
So after our impressive win against Kawasaki we had 7 cup finals left to play in order to ensure that we would end the season as J. League champions.
Our fixture run in was pretty tough, with trips to the likes of Vissel Kobe, Shimizu S-Pulse and Nagoya chucked in amongst some other tricky fixtures.
In truth, we never looked back as we ended the season losing just 1 of those last 7 games to wrap up the title.
An absolutely fantastic season and massive overachievement given the overall quality in our squad.
Kakuchi, our new CB signing, was a standout player and crucial to our success as we conceded just 11 goals across the entire J. League season.
It was a fantastic debut season for Luongo too as he ran things from the middle of the park, often dictating games for us. Oda and Wakatsuki continue to develop and look exciting prospects moving forward. Oda finished up as our top scorer with 14 goals, not a bad return for a 20 year old playing his first full season.
A massive shoutout for Takahagi too - Our captain and veteran midfielder at 35. He scored some crucial goals along the way and was a key part of our success as he led the team to victory.
An amazing way to end season 2 and we have Asian Champions League football to look forward to next season.
Who knows how far we can go or what else we can achieve, but JEF United Chiba are definitely back on the Japanese footballing map 🙌🏻

Why did you pick JEF United Chiba? Who are your 5 foreigners for the new season?

League 2
No particular reason mate - I’ve wanted to do a J. League save for a while. I have always semi-followed Japanese football - I am not sure where you are based but we used to have a J. League highlights show here in the UK on Eurosport. It has stopped now but I was obsessed with it as a kid.
In terms of JEF United themselves, I always try and pick a team who have fallen on hard times but still have a great history. JEF United were one of the founding members of the J. League, the first Japanese club to win an Asian Continental competition and have been crowned champions of Japan on two occasions.
They are currently playing in J2 after relegation in 2009, so I thought that it might be a good story to try and revive them in my ML journey 👍🏻
I will put a season 3 intro post up shortly with a squad update etc.
Kopite1990
League 2
I am underway with season 3 of my JEF United save as we look to defend our J. League title and battle it out in the Asian Champions League.
We had a busy pre-season transfer window. It is clear that the squad needs some uplift in terms of quality and depth, especially with 3 competitions to play for this season. Squad rotation and keeping players fresh is going to be key to any success we have.
CB was a priority position for us - With Saneto (33) and Niwa (35) rapidly declining, we needed a new CB partner for Kikuchi as well as some better options in terms of depth.
Our main signing was Naomichi Ueda. A strong, Japanese international who definitely adds a bit more quality to the starting 11. He arrived from Cercle Brugge.
Our second signing was also at CB and also from another Belgian side, Kortrijk. Trent Sainsbury arrives to provide cover at CB. The experienced Australian international should play a key role when we need to rotate between Ueda and Kikuchi.
We had similar issues in midfield, with Takahagi (36) and Kida (32) we needed to add some younger legs and energy to the side. Cameroonian, Wilfrid Kaptoum, looked to tick all of the boxes and he became our 3rd signing.
Finally, Derik Lacerda joins to add to our striking options following the sale of Yajima. The Brazilian forward looks to have decent potential and arrives from La Liga 2 side Ponferradina.
Saneto and Edson also departed. Meaning we have a quota of 4 foreign players (Luongo, Lacerda, Sainsbury and Kaptoum).
The Asian Champions League draw pitted us against some decent teams, but we are more than capable of qualifying from this group:
The squad looks in decent shape as we embark on season 3. Juggling Continental football whilst also trying to regain our league title is going to be tricky, but we are definitely up for the fight

JEF United (PES2021 ML) - Season 3 Update
Apologies for the radio silence all, home life has been a little bit busy so playing time has been drastically cut recently.
However, I did manage to finally complete season 3 of my JEF United ML save.
What a season it was as we romped home to an historic treble - Retaining our J-League title as well as adding The Emperors Cup and Asian Champions League.
We managed to win the league fairly comfortably in the end but we made quite a slow start, I was beginning to think that our first J League title may have been a bit of a fluke. However, we rallied around after a couple of soft defeats and draws to go on a long unbeaten run to cement our place as J League champions for a second season.
Our run to the Emperors Cup final was a pretty straightforward one, with our toughest match coming in the semi final against an in form Cerezo Osaka side. We edged a close two legged affair 2-1, before comfortably beating Shimizu S-Pulse 2-0 in the final.
Our Asian Champions League run in followed a similar path. We had a relatively easy route until the semi final when we came up against Al Hilal. They are by far the best team on the continent but we held strong to grab a 2-0 aggregate victory to set up a final against generic side Sujung Bada. We won comfortably over two legs, with a 5-0 aggregate victory.
I will probably leave the save here for now as I have a busy few months coming up at home with the arrival of a new baby.
We have definitely achieved our goal of putting JEF United back on top of the Japanese and Asian football pyramid

I was not sure where to post this, in the Master League Adventures thread, PES 2008 video thread, or start a new one?
I was just posting it in the PES 2008 thread, then was going to start a new one, but finally decided to post it here.
So this is a new adventure, it is called....
THE MASTER LEAGUE UNIVERSE!
The reason I have called it THE MASTER LEAGUE UNIVERSE is simply because I have finally started a ML that I am hoping to play for an extended number of seasons but not only that....
In THE MASTER LEAGUE UNIVERSE I am hoping to keep track of transfers, player's ages, and even player's growth and decline (with the help of ChatGPT) in a separate Option File. That way, after a certain period of time (which could be when a team wins the Champions League a set number of times), I will be able to move on to manage a different team even in a different country. This is not normally possible in the old PES games but my thinking is that if I keep a separate Option File up to date then I can just start a new ML with all the transfers and other things intact.
In the past I have stopped playing ML after a few seasons because of life and other things but this time hopefully I will be able to carry it on for a while.
So in SEASON 1 of THE ML UNIVERSE I am manager of Ipswich in the English Division 2.

I hate playing in the snow, something tells me it affects me more than the CPU
I am starting to see some good movement in the attacking areas, especially from Philogene. I may switch him to the other side as he is right footed.
A great reaction from our keeper, who says the keepers in 2008 are poor?

Next up is the Div 2 Cup Quarter - Final 1st Leg against league leaders and unbeaten Nottm Forest.
I made a few changes for this match, I really sat down and studied the players and the formation.
I changed Philogene and put him on the left as a winger as I switched to a 4-3-3. And I also brought in Szmodics.

What a fantastic result, that adjustment to the team made a big difference. Philogene was excellent throughout with an assist and a cracking finish. So too was Szmodics. At the moment Hirst seems to be our weak link up top. Will have to wait and see.

After such a cracking performance in the Div 2 Cup, it was back to Match Day 5 in the league at home to third placed West Brom.
Another fantastic performance from us, and Szmodics is beginning to make his mark in our team. A couple of fantastic goals again from him. Both pretty similar to the one he got against Forest. Broadhead came on for the disappointing Hirst and bagged a goal. Will be hard to leave him out of the next match.

I have started emulating it on the Xbox Series S, there was a bit of slow down at times, but I have just found the solution.

12 games into my Independiente save, in the B Nacional. We sit first with eight wins, three draws and a tough defeat.

Match Day 6. top v bottom, Nottm Forest v Ipswich.
Will Forest get revenge for that 1st leg defeat in the cup?

Only 3 shots and 1 on target is not good enough for us. What a stupid sending off for Woolfenden especially after he got an own against Luton in the 2nd match of the season. It seemed like Forest were going out to injure our strikers so that they are out for the 2nd leg with both Delap and Broadhead coming off injured. Deserved win though for Forest and Gibbs-White simply stole the show. Next up is the 2nd leg.

The early prints of the English tabloids just landed - Gibbs-White was seen laughing on camera and mocking Ipswich Town....
And the back page of the Ipswich Star...

Here is the 2nd Leg of the Div 2 Cup v Nottm Forest!
Can our patched up "pub team" knock out the European Cup Winners of 1980!?
Ignore the Ipswich Badge it was done with ChatGPT
Seriously though it was a great defensive performance from the team. I was going to upload the whole match because this is one of the things that I love about the old PES games. That battle for a 0-0 draw with few chances and little battles going on all over the pitch. Not constantly end to end like the newer games.
