"PES 2017," the football simulation video game from Japan's Konami has drawn attention of gaming websites to the rather unimpressive names of its unlicensed clubs, especially those related to Premiere League clubs or as they are called in the game, "English League!"

Here are the names for unlicensed "English League" clubs in "PES 2017":
- Man Red (Manchester United)
- London FC (Chelsea)
- Merseyside Blue (Everton)
- East Dorsetshire (Bournemouth)
- East London (West Ham)

- South Norwood (Crystal Palace)
- Hampshire Red (Southampton)

- Teesside (Middlesbrough)
- West Glamorgan City (Swansea City)
Previous versions of PES too featured "silly names" for the unlicensed clubs. Nevertheless, players will be able to change the team names via editor. It also allows players to access community-made option files.
Recently, Konami announced official partnership with Barcelona FC, FC Schalke, Bayer Leverkusen and Liverpool.
