Matthiessen are young talents who can develop quickly if you use them correctly. If you picked the Master League original players it's good to know that there is some talent in your squad. To do this fast you can use the auto line-up (Support Settings > Auto Lineup Select > No Preference), which is also recommended in other game modes, like playing online matches with a time limit when picking your formation.

This basically means choosing your favourite formation and putting in the highest rated players for every position. Also if you haven't yet updated your squads, do that first, because once you start you will not be able to change the user database.īuilding your squad: Once you're set up, the first thing you have to do is pick your starting eleven. With the Master League players this will be a challenge by itself. Instead choose one of the lower division leagues, like the Championship. If you're playing at a higher difficulty level it can, however, be very hard to get a foothold if you jump straight into a top-tier competition, like the Premier League. This will set you up with a squad that consists of players with players rating between 55 and 70. If, however, you're looking for a longer and more satisfying experience pick the second option. Again, if you're looking for an easy start and just want to enjoy a season or two with your favourite club and star players pick this one. Next up is another important decision which lets you use the current squad of a club or start out with the classic Master League players. The Classic gives you an easier start, but after just a few years as a manager it can get overly easy, with no competition at all from other teams. Poor results or trouble with your team can lead to players leaving for other clubs or even getting the sack.

Players will be tougher to deal with and contracts harder to negotiate. The first is as we've always known, the later adds more obstacles. With that in mind, it's good to know that Konami added the option to choose between a Classic or Challenge mode for Master League. Master League isn't one where you just play one or two times, it's a mode you play for weeks, months or even longer. Setting up your team: Before diving into formations, squads and training, the first thing you have to do is to decide how you are going to play in this mode.
