PES 20: The 20 Best Domestic Teams

Which teams should you be looking at playing as if you want an easy ride?

With all the furor surrounding the forthcoming release of FIFA 20 and the fact that the demo for the game dropped yesterday, it’s easy to forget that there is more than one choice for when you want to get your football on. PES 2020 is the alternative to EA’s monster, and from all accounts, it’s giving FIFA quite a run for its money this year. This will explain why EA released their demo on the same day that Konami unleashed PES 2020 upon the world, but it still wasn’t enough to stop the die-hard PES heads from shelling out the requisite money for their favorite footballing experience.

If you have a copy of the game you’ve probably already decided on which team you’ll be using as you play through the all-new, all improved Master League but if you want an easy ride of it, then there are 20 teams you should consider starting fresh with. After all, you can’t have gotten that far into by now, could you?

Here are the 20 Top Domestic Teams in PES 2020:

• AC Milan: OVR: 4 and a Half Stars. DEF: 82. MID: 79. ATT: 82

• Real Madrid: OVR: 5 Stars. DEF: 86. MID: 86. ATT: 86.
• Roma: OVR: 4 and a Half Stars. DEF: 79. MID: 79. ATT: 83.
• Sevilla: OVR: 4 and a Half Stars. DEF: 78. MID: 79. ATT: 81.

It’s quite surprising, to this writer at least, to only find two of the Premier League’s big teams on this list, meaning the likes of Spurs miss out while five squads represents La Liga and six squads represents Italy. Even the French league has three representatives in the Top 20, which leads me to believe that either Konami shifts more copies of this game in those regions or that they have no idea about football. After all, when one of the two teams that contested last years Champions League final can’t even break into this illustrious group, then there’s something wrong with this picture.
