Question: Will Coins ＋ Bonus packs purchased in PES 2020 carry over to PES 2021?

Answer: Any unused coins will carry over, whereas uniforms included in these packs will not. Players included in Coins + Bonus packs are subject to the same carryover rules as all other players. As such, whether or not they will carry over will depend on if and when they are available in PES 2021. See the "Other Player Types" section in the "Carryover Guide for PES 2020 Mobile Users" for further details.

Question: What happens if I bid on an Auction but don’t check the result before the update goes live?

Answer:
There are three possible outcomes:

1) If you didn’t win the Auction, the GP that you bid will be returned to you.

2) If you won, and the Scout that you obtained through the Auction has players available to sign when you first log in to PES 2021, you’ll receive your Scout in the Inbox after the update.

3) If you won, but the Scout that you obtained through the Auction doesn’t have any players available to sign when you first log in to PES 2021, your Scout will be exchanged for another with the same Negotiation Skill (★-★★★★★). This Scout will be sent to your Inbox after the update.

*Users cannot select the category of the Scout they receive through Scout exchanges.
*Some Scouts obtained via the exchange may temporarily be unable to sign any players.

Question: What will happen to player injuries and yellow/red cards from PES 2020 during the update?

Answer: All data related to injuries and yellow/red cards will be reset during the update giving all players a fresh start.

Question: Can Carryover Players be traded?

Answer: If you have 3 identical Carryover Players you can trade them for 1 Base Player.
As an example, if you have 1 "Base Player" and 2 "Featured Player" copies of a specific player in PES 2020, these will all be converted into Carryover Players during the update, provided that this player is also available when you first log in to PES 2021, of course. You can then trade these 3 Carryover Players for a Base Player.
Beware, however, that you will not be able to trade using different types of a player.
For example, you cannot trade using 2 players of the "Carryover Player" type and 1 player of the "Base Player/Featured Player" type, as they would be considered different types of that player.

Question: This website states that Base Players that are Converted into Carryover Players will be updated to data from September, 2020. Can you tell me a little bit more about what this means?

Answer: We examine the performance of each player during September and record this information in a database. This data is then used to define the in-game attributes of both Base Players and Carryover Players for PES 2021 at launch.
This means that Carryover Players will have exactly the same attributes as their Base Player counterparts at the time the update launches. However, after launch, Base Player data will be subject to various changes as a result of Live Updates. On the other hand, Carryover Players are not subject to these updates, and will perpetually use the data we gathered in September 2020. This will apply regardless of when you first log in to PES 2021.

Question: How many Contract Tickets will I receive if I have multiple players that will be exchanged due to the fact that they are not included in PES 2021?

Answer: If you have at least 1 player that will be exchanged, you will receive 10 Contract Tickets. Having multiple players will not increase the number of tickets you will receive.

Question: What is the maximum number of players that I can have in PES 2021?

Answer: You can have a maximum of 500 players. This has not changed from PES 2020.

Question: Will there be any changes to the mobile platforms that PES 2021 is compatible with?

Answer: No. PES 2021 will be compatible with the same platforms as PES 2020.

Question: Will players included in my team when I first began playing the game carry over?

Answer: Yes. They will be converted into Carryover Players during the update.
