Below you can find a brief explanation of what myClub is, as well as what's new in this year's update. There's also an introduction to this guide.

What is PES myClub?

myClub is, alongside Master League, the game’s most popular mode. The goal is to build your super team, using whichever players you like for each position.

If you are coming from FIFA, this will look similar to FIFA’s Ultimate Team (despite its differences).

You compete online or VS COM for game money (known as GP) to have better players/managers and renew your team’s contracts. The more you play, the more experienced your players will be - which will result in higher stats.

Players have weekly condition rating updates - if they performed well in real life, they have increased likelihood of performing well here (known as "Form" in Pro Evolution Soccer).

This makes things more challenging and interesting, and allows for some diversity in the teams you face.

What you get in PES 2021

PES 2021 was released on September 15th, 2020 and is available for PS4, Xbox One and PC (Steam).

If you played either eFootball PES 2020 or eFootball PES 2020 LITE, you can get 20% off by buying a Club Edition (digital version) now. You should use the in-game links to receive a discount when purchasing the game.

For the first time, PES 2021 will be a season update - this means the game will be pretty much the same in terms of features and gameplay, but all squads will be updated for the 2021/2022 season.

With the standard edition, you will get:

  • 2.000 coins.
  • Lionel Messi (on loan).
  • 1 Premium Agent a week (for 10 weeks).
  • 3 Contract Renewal Tickets a week (for 10 weeks).

With a Club Edition, depending on the club you pick, you will get:

  • 3.000 coins.
  • Lionel Messi (on loan).
  • 1 Premium Agent a week (for 30 weeks).
  • 3 Contract Renewal Tickets a week (for 30 weeks).
  • Full Squad (FC Barcelona, Bayern, Juventus, Manchester United or Arsenal)
  • Icon version of Messi, Kahn, C. Ronaldo, Beckham or Bergkamp
  • Retro club Kit
  • Club menu theme and avatar

Veteran Bonus

If you played myClub mode in either PES 2020 or PES 2020 LITE, you will be eligible to receive the Veterans Bonus if you purchase the Season Update between 15/09/2020 and 10/12/2020. You will need to claim it with the same account that you used to play the 2020 game. You could work towards these milestones until 03/09/2020.

You will get some Special Agents as rewards, depending on 2 milestones. These Special Agents can get you Iconic Moment Series Players or Featured Players.

  • how many Legends (Iconomic Moment Series or Legend players) you own (duplicates of players you own are counted toward your total number of players.).
  • how much you played PES 2020 (more especifically, Matchday mode).

Regarding Legends, Konami announced the following tiers:

  • If you own 1 to 3 Legends, you will get 1x 'PES 2020-21 Iconic Moment Series' Special Agent.
  • If you own 4 to 6 Legends: 2x 'PES 2020-21 Iconic Moment Series' Special Agent.
  • If you own 7 to 9 Legends: 3x 'PES 2020-21 Iconic Moment Series' Special Agent.
  • If you own 10 to 12 Legends: 4x 'PES 2020-21 Iconic Moment Series' Special Agent.
  • If you own 13 or more Legends: 5x 'PES 2020-21 Iconic Moment Series' Special Agent.

Regarding Matchday matches played, Konami stated the following:

  • if you played 5 to 29 matches: 1x 'PES 2020-21 Featured Players' Special Agent.
  • 30 to 99 matches: 2x 'PES 2020-21 Featured Players' Special Agent.
  • 100 or more matches: 3x 'PES 2020-21 Featured Players' Special Agent.

Your total number of Matchday matches can be checked in-game from the following location: Top Menu > Statistics > Online Stats > User Details > Matchday > Matches

What's new in PES 2021?

If you played the 2019 version, you will quickly realize Konami did not change much for eFootball Pro Evolution Soccer 2020. For 2021, since it is just a Season Update, the changes were pretty much cosmetics and squad updates, so it is more important to learn what changed in PES 2020.

That said, here is everything you need to know:

  • eFootball Points - new currency introduced in PES 2021.
  • There's a new Matchday Mode.
  • We now also have Featured National Team players (not just clubs).
  • Weekly Events and Competitions have moved from Thursdays to Mondays (new Featured Players are still released on Thursdays).
  • Every player starts at level 1 now, which corresponds to the old level 30. This basically means every player will perform to his true potential from the moment you sign him.
  • You can no longer gain GP from offline game modes (like Training, Master League or Become a Legend).
  • Legends have been upgraded to a Condition Rating of "B" as of Data Pack 4.0 (13/02/2020).
  • Konami introduced a new kind of Legends - Iconic Moment Series - in Data Pack 5.0 (05/03/2020).

Why a Season Update? What about next-gen?

The reason for this is simple: Konami will be working on PES 2022 with a new engine (Unreal Engine), promising more realistic player models, enhanced physics and better animations, targeted at the next-gen consoles (PS5 and Xbox Series X).

The idea is to begin testing the new game with this engine in mid-2021, for a release later that year.

You can have an early look at what the game will look like by watching the trailer below. It's not much, but it's promising!

About this Guide

I have always been a fan of Pro Evolution Soccer - ever since the early ISS days - but I really only gave myClub a chance in 2019.

When I was just starting out, I noticed information was sparse, so this guide is my attempt of condensing everything you should know regarding PES myClub. The guide has been updated to eFootball Pro Evolution Soccer 2021 (Season Update).

I am by no means a myClub veteran/guru, so if you would like to contribute, please contact me - I’ll be more than happy to credit you for your help.

I would like this guide to be as complete as possible, so that newcomers to myClub don’t feel overwhelmed like I did.

I did my best to break everything into chapters, but at times I will introduce new things that haven't been covered yet - if you feel confused, I encourage you to read further. Everything is connected in the game and I promise you in the end it will (hopefully!) all make sense :)

Finally, I will avoid mentioning game controls, so hopefully this guide will make sense to any PS4/XBOX/PC gamer, or even PES Mobile on Android or iOS. The only exception is in the Gameplay Tips section.
