MLO - THE PERFECT STARTING TEAM

What's up lads, I am hooked on MLO! I think it is an outstanding game mode, possibly one of the greatest modes in any game I have ever played. It is addictive and very rewarding when playing well and dangerously frustrating when things go against you! While there are some faults with the game, I am not going to go into in this post. That will be another day. Today’s post is about the most discussed topic on all pes forums. I see people constantly ask, how can I build a highly competitive team for the cheap? Here's my answer in detail.  

The hardest part of MLO is buying players and unearthing gems. One player can make a massive difference and can be the kick start your team needs to turn draws into wins. I am going to give my advice on building a team for newcomers and hopefully help those who are struggling to even draw games no matter how good they play. Oh ya, and the best part is the Starting 11 costs 15 Million in total!  

Team: Div 5 FC       Worth: 15 Million 

Formation: 4-3-3      Starting 11

Romo	GK	70	197cm	82 GK Skills	1.7 Mill

Barretto	CF	69	171cm	High 80’s speed + dribbling.	2 Mill

Substitutions: 

Name	Position	Price
Cristiano	CB/RB	1.8 Mill
Martinez	AMF	1.8 Mill
P.Mc Court	Anywhere	1.7 Mill
Doyle	CF	800k
Long	CF	700k
Mirralles	CF	1.2 Mill
Mouche	SS	1.7 Mill
Silva	CB	1.8 Mill

For newcomers, I advise using up the default players contracts as whatever you make (even losing) is pure profit. When the contracts are up, begin building, buy each replacement per position selling. Form plays a massive part in players. Check the players before buying or else replace with the subs I provided.  

This team can mix it with any team in Div. 5 and at a stretch, Div.4. It will work for you. Model the team on Barcelona, with DMF and CMF and AMF. Wide players pace must be exploited also. You have a safe goalkeeper, bombarding fullbacks and solid spine in the team. All the players are tall and strong or small and rocket fast. You have a good enforcer in Meyler and passer and all rounder in Fahey and the sublimely talented Cabalaard. Cabalaard is unbelieveable, just look at his stats, it’s a steal. Barretto is amazing too.  

This team can be used if you starting out your first few games or if you are struggling in Div 5/4. It is amazing who you can unearth in this game for practically nothing.

Let me know how ye get on and what ye think!
