Let this be the official Pro 2013 master league thread. Any breaking news concerning the Master League mode in Pro 2013 please share. Also feel free to post your ideas for improvements from the slightly dissapointing Pro 2012 Master League.
Thread Recap (last 10 posts from newest to oldest)
As you can probably see I have a very young side. Only 5 players are over 25. I'll probably be adding a few regens when January comes around. Need a new back-up goalkeeper as well then I think we're sorted. Missed out on Lezzerini from Fiorentina because I left it too late. Will see what the Youth Team brings in January. Have a very healthy balance right now with 168m if I want to thanks to the low wages of the youngsters. Trying to get Neymar to replace Totti who should be retiring next season. It's not the end of the world if I can't get him though.
LAST SEASON
We won the Serie A! On the last day as well. Was *bleep*ing beautiful! Throughout the season we were always 2nd, 3rd or 4th with Juventus and Milan. Inter were miles ahead until the last few games. They just needed to avoid a loss against Siena and they would have won. Juventus in the same situation as us needed a win and they would have wrapped up the title on goal difference. Although neither of them won, we did and lifted the trophy. Was so nervous at the end. Seeing the players celebrate though was a great relief. Didn't really expect anything above 3rd but we managed! One of the worst defences in the league countered by a Destro and Lamela inspired attack got us through. Destro winning the Golden Boot and Lamela with MVP and Leading Assists awards. We breezed through the Italian Cup right up until the last 10 minutes of the final against Juventus. We lost a 3-1 lead thanks to a couple of bad mistakes by me. We then sadly lost on penalties. Just guess it wasn't to be!
SEASON OBJECTIVES
At least a top 2 finish again this year. Inter just bought Cristiano though so they'll probably be unbeaten. Definitley want to keep a few more clean sheets than last year, goals should come naturally. Really want to go all the way in the Cup this year. Not changing our 4-3-3 possession tactics yet. Maybe edge in a 4-2-3-1 after January to counter attack teams. Also want to develop youth more. Depends what regens I buy.
Mr_Bungle you mean to say you started with Liverpool and released the only former Ajax player they had!? Shocking!
Well, if you put it that way... YES! But again, he's a rotten egg, a bad apple, Liverpool don't need those (being a former Ajax player only gave me more reason to release him;-))

So Bayern Munich bought Messi for 80 mil in my ML. I have to play them next in DFB-Pokal semis. I don't like this.
I may be wrong but isn't De Camargo a striker, Chelskiman
You're not wrong, but on my game he's listed as a LMF, RMF, CMF, AMF, SS and CF lol.

I have a full starting 11 in my D Master League now!
Darley Doriva - Diame - Djaumorac - Del Horno De Camargo - Delaney Degen - Diaz - De Ridder Djebbour
Most of these guys have been on free transfers as money is very tight. I'm still in D2 and I'm just about to start my second season.

If I can find a kitpack the won't overwrite the PES League I'd have started with Arsenal and done a youth save. Also, Morillo just seems like a typical Arsenal midfielder doesn't he!

Decided that I do not have enough time on my hands to start a real ML story/depth wise so I thought I'd have another go with Spurs. Updated the squads and was able to sign Moutinho for £16,000,000 as my marquee signing. Playing a 4-3-3 so I signed Anders Svensson for his last season just to provide better cover than Jake Livermore.
Babacar from Fiorentina and Pedro Obiang from Sampdoria were signed for development purposes. Hoping to just keep on playing this one until the next game comes out as I decided I just wanna see how good the young'uns get so I'll most likely be selling the players I usually use (lloris, kaboul, dembele, sandro) and replacing those with new players.
Shortlisted Verdi, McManaman from Wigan, Zieler and Belfodil to maybe look at in January. Will be looking to shift Friedel, Gallas & Ekotto sharpish.

Well, in 4 seasons as the coach of Feyenoord, I have won the league 4x, the cup 4x and the Champion's League 2x's, the supercup once. I felt it was time to move on to greener pastures (having over $350.000.000 but not being able to sign top players is kind of useless). I moved on to Liverpool F.C.! I want to bring back honor, prestige and silverware to this once great club and I started by releasing a bunch of players that are weighing heavily on my salary costs: Reina, Skrtel, Enrique, Leiva and Suarez. Suarez is a dirty player, I don't tolerate him and the bad image he's given Liverpool, so off he goes. Leiva I have always thought overrated, the others were just highly paid and I can't have them around.
I signed a youth player Aiden Neto, great player, will turn into a 100+ rating as CB. I signed Pato for 26.000.000 and some minor players with potential. Pato paid off as he's scored 4 goals in 4 matches, so he's 1 for 1 right now. I need a good AM, I have Coutinho, but I just don't like him. I have to keep him on as he's doing fairly well Also, the rule of 3 is one I vehemently believe in, no more than 3 foreigners in your first eleven, so far I have Pato, Coutinho and Aiden Neto or Agger playing, making it 3 exactly.
I don't expect to become champion right away, but I will finish atop of Man United!
My first game was a 4-1 win against Villa at home, the 2nd game was a sad 2-3 loss at home against Chelsea (they lost the CL final to me twice when I was coaching Feyenoord, so this is some form of revenge for them). Westham had no chance as I routed them 4-1 and in the Europa League I beat Sporting 0-2 away. Man City is next at Anfield, I need to win to stay up there and be competitive, lets see...
