A subtle but crucial addition: The scoreboard now syncs with the referee’s VAR check system. When the on-field official signals a review, a pop-up graphic appears in the top corner reading "VAR Review – Stockley Park."

In the cyclical world of football video games, few annual debates rage as fiercely as the one between FIFA (now EA Sports FC) and eFootball PES. For years, Konami’s Pro Evolution Soccer held the crown for on-pitch physics and tactical realism, while Electronic Arts dominated in presentation—specifically, broadcast-authentic overlays. The 2019 cycle of PES 2019 marked a turning point for the modding community and console players alike, not through a major gameplay patch, but through a seemingly minor detail: the Premier League Scoreboard Update.
This article dissects why this specific update transcended simple UI changes to become a cornerstone of immersion for the PES community.
Step 1: Backup your game data.
Always copy your dt80_100E_x64.cpk file found in the Data folder of your PES 2019 directory to a separate folder.
Step 2: Download Sider 6.1.4 or higher. Sider is essential for loading modules without corrupting the base game files. Drop the Sider contents into your root PES 2019 folder. PES 2019 NEW PREMIER LEAGUE SCOREBOARD UPDATE
Step 3: Get the Scoreboard Module.
Search for "PES 2019 Premier League Scoreboard V3" on reputable modding forums like Evo-Web or PES-Patch. The file usually comes in a .lua (script) and .cpk format.
Step 4: Extract to content/scoreboards.
Inside your Sider folder, navigate to livecpk and create a folder named Scoreboard. Drop the downloaded asset folder there.
Step 5: Edit the Sider.ini file.
Open Sider.ini with Notepad. Add the following lines:
cpk.root = ".\livecpk\Scoreboard"
lua.module = "Scoreboard.lua"
Step 6: Map the Premier League.
This is the critical part. You need to tell the game which scoreboard to use for Premier League matches. Inside the map_competitions.txt file (in the modules folder), add:
11, Premier League, SkySportsPL
(Note: 11 is the typical competition ID for the English Premier League in PES 2019).
Step 7: Launch via Sider.
Never launch PES 2019 from Steam directly. Run sider.exe as administrator, then press the "Start Game" button. Once you enter a match in the Premier League, your new scoreboard should appear. A subtle but crucial addition: The scoreboard now

Even the best mods can have hiccups. Here is how to fix the most common problems with the PES 2019 new Premier League scoreboard update:
Q: The scoreboard is stuck on the generic one.
Q: The fonts look like blocks or squares.
Q: The scoreboard flickers during cutscenes.
Q: Does this work online (MyClub)?
Ironically, the fervor around the PES 2019 Premier League Scoreboard Update foreshadowed the franchise’s downfall. When Konami rebranded the series to eFootball in 2021 and went free-to-play, they prioritized cross-platform play over presentation. The scoreboards in eFootball 2022 and 2024 regressed to generic, mobile-first designs.
The PES 2019 update remains the "gold standard" for scoreboard modding because it arrived at the peak of the Option File era—before next-gen consoles locked down file systems and before the franchise abandoned its core simulation identity.
