The PES 2021 Master League Money Tool typically refers to third-party software or "trainers" designed to modify your club's Transfer and Salary budgets on the PC version of the game. Because PES 2021 separates these two budgets without a built-in slider, players often use these tools to bypass financial restrictions and sign elite players. 🛠️ Most Common Money Tools
If you are looking to increase your funds, these are the most reliable methods currently used by the community: xAranaktu's Cheat Table (Cheat Engine)
Function: Allows you to manually edit values for Transfer Budget and Salary Budget.

If you prefer not to use external software, you can manage your budget using these built-in strategies:
Budget Allocation Settings: Go to your Manager's Office and set all incoming revenue (tickets, merch) to go into the Salary Budget.
The "Bonus" Trick: When signing players, offer a lower annual salary but maximize performance bonuses (Goal, Clean Sheet, Appearance). Bonuses are paid out of the Transfer Budget, effectively saving your Salary Budget.
Free Agent Flipping: Sign high-value free agents during the transfer window and sell or loan them out immediately to generate pure profit.
Contract Renegotiation: Renegotiate existing high-earners' contracts to lower their base salary in exchange for higher bonuses. ⚠️ Important Considerations
Platform: These tools are strictly for PC. Console players (PS4/PS5/Xbox) must rely on in-game budget management as they cannot run third-party .exe or Cheat Engine files.
Negative Budgets: If you use a tool to set a value that is too high, the game may display a negative budget. To fix this, use the tool to lower the value until it returns to a positive range.
Save Backup: Always back up your ML00000000 save file before using any money tool to prevent data corruption. If you'd like to try one of these, Need help setting up Cheat Engine or Sider?

Why is Financial Management Important?
In PES 2021's Master League, managing your club's finances is crucial. Your financial status can affect your ability to sign players, pay wages, and ultimately, your success on the pitch. Going into debt can lead to financial difficulties, including the risk of bankruptcy, while having a healthy financial status provides you with the flexibility to invest in your team.
Legal & Ethical Considerations
- The tool is for single-player use only. Warn users against using modified saves in official online matches or services.
- Avoid distributing copyrighted game assets or proprietary code.
- Include a disclaimer: use at your own risk; developer not responsible for corrupted saves or account bans resulting from misuse.
2. The External Tool: PES 2021 Save Editors
For players who want complete control over their finances—perhaps to simulate a billionaire takeover or correct a financial crash—the most effective method is using a Save Editor.
These are third-party software tools that allow you to modify the data within your Master League save file.
3. Cheat Engine (The "Live" Money Tool)
For PC players, Cheat Engine is the most direct "tool" used during gameplay. This is software that scans the game's memory (RAM) while the game is running and allows you to change values on the fly.
The Rewards
- No more spreadsheet stress: You focus on tactics, not balancing books.
- Instant Dream Teams: Buy Messi, Ronaldo, and a regen Zidane in the same transfer window.
- Save failing saves: If you bankrupt your club by accident, the tool is a lifeline.
- Roleplaying: Play as a "sugar daddy" club like Manchester City or PSG on steroids.
The Method:
- Attach Process: Open Cheat Engine and attach it to the
PES2021.exeprocess. - Scan for Value: Look at your current Transfer Budget in the game (e.g., $5,000,000). Enter this value into Cheat Engine and perform a "First Scan."
- Change Value: Go back into the game and spend a small amount or move the budget slider. Enter the new value into Cheat Engine and perform a "Next Scan."
- Result: Cheat Engine will isolate the memory address responsible for your budget.
- Edit: Double-click the address to add it to your list, then change the value to whatever you desire (e.g., 1 billion).
Pros: Instant, requires no reloading of saves. Cons: Requires PC knowledge; if done incorrectly, it can crash the game. On the Steam version, modifying values can trigger anti-cheat detection, though it is rare in offline Master League modes.
