PES 2011 ML ONLINE

PES 2011 master league online was always first on my mind when I purchased my copy. Instead of trying an exhibition match or 2 when I first got the game, I decided to jump straight in and try out the all new mode that is ML online! It was not the best of starts and I lost a few games. I managed to draw a couple along the way, but remained far behind as far as the wins were concerned. 
I had not been prepared for the challenges that awaited me and overlooked all of the tactics and strategies that PES has become famous for. I saw my team, which, was not what I expected. Default players to start, with the dullest of stats. Undeterred, I wanted to make my presence known and gave it a go.
Since those first early games, I became disheartened and swayed away from playing online. I had since concentrated on Become a Legend, and Master League offline mode. 

Recently I had been thinking about playing online again. The main reasons were that I felt as if I had given myself a bit more of a start and had improved my game play. 
I decided to give it a go and signed myself in. I checked out my team. Worked out where to strengthen my side. I then went to the transfer market and had a look at the players. On my budget, I knew there was no way I could afford the likes of Messi or Ronaldo priced at around the 20 Million mark! My team itself is only worth about 15 Million! 
Still determined, I made a list of any players within my price range that I could benefit from, and a few that I could sign if I were to sell a few, then set a plan.
I got rid of a couple of players that I no longer needed. I then bought in 3 new players. 2 CF's and a winger. I worked out my tactics and styles based on my offline master league and went to my next match. This was just a quick match. I am ranked down in division 5, so any player who I came up against was probably going to beat me. The only thing I had on my side was a few new players and the dream of winning.
Did any of this help me? YES! My first game back in online mode and I won 2-0! Also may I add that the player was a division 4 player, so I received more revenue for beating them. I then played another 2 games which were against division 5 players. The first I drew 0-0, the 2nd I lost 1-0. Not a bad few games, but I was happy with the results. Hopefully there will be more wins in the future and I may even manage to get promoted!
