PES 2019: All the best hidden gems

All managers crave finding that needle in the haystack; a player no one has heard of but becomes something special. On PES 2019 Master League they are very difficult to find, with a lot of unlicensed and made-up teams giving you no idea where to start. RealSport is on hand to take you through the best hidden gems on the game.

What is a hidden gem?

These are players you may not be familiar with as they are all aged in their teens. They all have an OPR (overall points rating) of at least 74, and the potential to become useful talents on Master League. We have also marked their estimated development (DEV), which is their expected growth over the next three years. Be sure to play these youngsters as much as possible and regularly use them in training to maximise their potential.

On loan at Derby from Chelsea, Mason Mount may just be a few seasons away from an England call up. The attacking midfielder was on loan at Dutch outfit Vitesse Arnhem last year, bagging 13 goals and 10 assists and he has continued this form with Derby already, with four goals in his first seven games for the club.

On PES 2019, the 19-year-old has a release fee of £14.7 million, a really good price for his 79 OPR which should improve to at least 83. 84 swerve, 84 explosive power and 83 dribbling can be yours for a salary of £1.6 million.

Back to the real players, with the young Boubacar Kamara of Marseille. The Frenchman featured 14 times for the Ligue 1 club last season as he looks to become a regular this year. He has 14 caps for France U19s, as he looks to follow the footsteps of superb French centre backs Marcel Desailly, Laurent Blanc, Raphael Varane and Samuel Umtiti.

The 19-year-old has a release fee of £10.6 million on Master League, with his salary currently £1.9 million a year. That will get you his 76 OPR which is expected to improve to 81 over three years, with his best abilities of 84 jump, 81 ball winning and 79 explosive power.

Abdulkadir Omur has already earned a call-up to the Turkey national team at the age of 19. The right midfielder was a regular for Trabzonspor last season, racking up 32 appearances with six assists and three goals. If and when he makes his bow for the national team, he will have played at every age group from U14 to senior team. 

On PES 2019, Omur’s qualities of 90 unwavering balance, 84 dribbling and 83 speed give him a 76 OPR. This should rise to 81 in the next three years, so you should look to spend around £10 million on bringing him to your club with a salary of £1.1 million.

He has recently been promoted to the Brazil U20s side after scoring five times in 22 games for the U17s. 

The left winger has abilities of 85 dribbling, 83 speed and 81 explosive power on the game, giving him a 75 OPR, which is expected to improve to 79 over three years. To sign him you will need close to £15 million, with a salary of £1.7 million.
