Ronaldo Beckham Posted November 17, 2022 Share Posted November 17, 2022 (edited) Mini Update Currently 5th in the league after 22 games played. Won 10, drawn 3 and lost 9 games. Eric Fedeli is my star striker with 21 goals in 21 games so far. He is eligable to play for San Marino but I can't seem to call him up to the National team just yet. I have also managed to get the board to upgrade the youth recruitment from Limited to Basic. I have also just signed this great young Italian midfielder who is way too good for the San Marino team.

Ronaldo Beckham Posted November 17, 2022 Share Posted November 17, 2022 Just called this guy up for the San Marino national team. Looks decent and someone who I can build my team around.

Ronaldo Beckham Posted November 17, 2022 Share Posted November 17, 2022 FC Domagnano Season 1 Review A nice 5th place finish and also European qualification after winning the play offs. Eric Fedeli was my best player with 29 goals for the season from 31 games. Fedeli also broke a league goalscoring record. Overall Best 11 Simone Pippi was also outstanding with 18 assists and 11 goals. He also won the Player and Young Player of the season. My fanbase has dropped in Hardcore and Core but gained in Family and Fair Weather. We also got 57 more followers on our social media lol. We now own our stadium as well which is good. I am not doing well with San Marino with 0 wins and only 1 draw. I am hoping next season to try challenge for the title and do well in the Europa Conference league. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

as7025 Posted November 18, 2022 Share Posted November 18, 2022 So it begins. I've gone for Fiorentino and Victor San Marino. My plan is to get Victor into Serie A and build up the youth facilities on the way, while also helping to improve the quality of the domestic league with Fiorentino. I'm still undecided whether to add a manager for the national team or see if I can get the job naturally. I'll wait a season or two to make a decision. Looking forward to trying the low block this year, they look more effective than they have ever been. I've set up my save to be as realistic as possible. I've loaded at least the top division in every league and added in a lot of players. Hopefully this won't slow the game too much, I'll see how it goes and remove some leagues later if it becomes a problem. I've also disabled the first transfer window, and player attribute masking is on. I'll be back with a mid season update when hopefully I'll be bringing some players in.

Scraborn Posted November 18, 2022 Share Posted November 18, 2022 (edited) So Tre Fiori has two chances to choke the league - we made to many easy errors in the early stages in the league no wonder my team is 19.9 years on average Edited November 18, 2022 by Scraborn Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaxeyN17 Posted November 18, 2022 Share Posted November 18, 2022 (edited) MURATA - Season 2022/23 Very strange season. Scored bags of goals but couldn't stop conceding either. Somehow managed to win the playoffs putting me into the Conference League qualifying. Financially the club is a bit of a mess, £45k in the red so unable to improve any facilities or youth recruitment. However I did have a fairly good looking youth intake, forgot to screenshot the news item but here's the U19 squad. In terms of the first team squad, there was three clear key players.

Watson156 Posted November 18, 2022 Share Posted November 18, 2022 (edited) I really hate that I found this challenge. I had a great save going with Venezia, and then ever since reading this I cant stop thinking about trying this save!! Of course the real game last night with St Lucia also helped convice me to start this challenge. So here I am! I'm managing Virtus & San Marino National Team. I didn't look at the team before taking over, and the main reason for taking over Virtus was that I was able to please my OCD buy finding a good size background of the stadium, and the kits from last year are the same colours! I loaded up the top league of England, France, Germany, Spain & USA, while loading Serie D and up in Italy. In the past i've seen some San Marino youth players coming through the MLS academies and I'm hoping that will continue in this save. Very early observations are that I didn't realise how badly I needed a reserve/under 18's squad just to store some players! I've signed a total of 19 players so far, with a lot of them being young San Marino prospects that I want to try and train, and to also keep an eye on. I'm still hoping to add another 3 or 4 players both in defense and midfield. Out of interest what are people willing to pay in appearance fees? I haven't signed anybody with one yet, but a great Spanish midfielder wants at least £150 per appearance. Is it worth signing him and risk going into debt, but hopefully qualifying for Europe? Anyway im looking forward to this save no matter how hard its going to be. Oh. and this wasn't a bad first game for me or my young regen striker that I found. Oh, and the yellow card rules/suspensions are brutal. Edited November 18, 2022 by Watson156 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scraborn Posted November 18, 2022 Share Posted November 18, 2022 My first Season is done and there was more light than shadow. More chaos then ever on the Transfermaked. And suffering for the National side We start with the final leaguetable with us on second and participating in the ECL next season due to the won penaltyshootout in the playoff final I started recruiting free agents suggested by my DoF - but most of the took us as a springboard out of the league in months so we dont realy know what cohesion is - but this is fine beeing an semiproteam on the rise. You see there was a constant stream of players coming in and going out - hopefully we can stabilise soon Next we will take a look at some of my better players - i wanted to show you my best striker but he left after almost 6 months so i put his replacement in here - who will leave after the season. Both score a fair amount of goals at least. Coming up the two players who featured as the ONE san marinese player i had to have on the pitch. Both hat some influence as our wings but the other guys were much better. We continue with our youth intake wich was underwhelming but i will sign a few to have some homegrown players Our results were better when the saison took on but seeing my defenders was some sort of a nightmare. So many errors on first touch etc... Cupwise we reached the semifinal but yeah the performance was rather poor And in the end my run with the nationalteam - at least we score some goals. My qualifiergroup is a bit scary but maybe the next Nationsleague will bring so points. This was my first year and also my first time taking part in a challenge here on the forum. I hope you can at least understand my german screenshots but the attributes are sorted like in the english version and the symbols are the same. I hope this post wasnt to long. Good luck for you guys and see you after season two! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
marco90li Posted November 18, 2022 Share Posted November 18, 2022 END of SEASON 1 2022/23 The end of the season didn't end well as i was hoping based on how good we were doing mid-season, but in the end here is the final results TRE FIORI was able to win the title in the last match, it was a 3-team title run, we were 1 of them but weren't able to keep up with TRE FIORI & TRE PENNE and ended in the European Play-Off Quarter Final = vs MURATA 1 - 1 / 2 - 0 Semifinal = vs VIRTUS 1 - 1 / 0 - 1 the supporters raised a little the good news was that we were able to get a second Coaching Badge course and here are our first YOUTH INTAKES REPORT + the best youngest of Season 2022/23 of the entire San Marino, from LA FIORITA ps: i was able to get him at the beginning of Season 2 finally the RANKS of SAN MARINO DOMESTIC LEAGUE - COPPA TITANO - SUPERCOPPA SANMARINESE League - 168° to 173° Coppa Titano - Still 105° Supercoppa - 125° to 126° Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ronaldo Beckham Posted November 18, 2022 Share Posted November 18, 2022 Europa Conference League Journey So Far I faced FK Qabala in the Europa Conference League qualification and after losing the away leg 2-0 we managed to win 2-0 in the home leg and then beat them on penalties. A great day in the history of the club. A nice bit of money coming in as well with us getting £86k which is more then I had in the bank. We have Slovakian side FC Spartak Trnava next. I don't fancy our chances but I thought the same against FK Qabala. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChiccO Posted November 19, 2022 Author Share Posted November 19, 2022 (edited) Also a little tip for those spending money before your club is Professional - it might be a good idea to prioritise professional status? that way you can sign players to term contracts (2 years max in SM I think) but at least it lessens the chance of losing good players for free. It also means your players can train full time which will help them improve IIRC you need around £2m+ in the bank for the board to agree to turn professional.

Scraborn Posted November 19, 2022 Share Posted November 19, 2022 (edited) What is your tactic for your teams? You handcrafted one or took inspiration from the workshop? We play in a offensive 4-1-1-3-1 with to supporting Wingbacks to overlap on the wings to give us more attacking width. Both Wingers are inside forwards to give us the numbers in the box. My striker needs to be a fast, or at least faster one for some deep runs. And for the middle of the park we have a ball winnign deffensive midfielder with a box-to-box one infrnot of him to connect the front and the back half of the team. For some "flair" we have an advanced playmaker as a true #10. I came up last FM with this tactic and it worked on allmost every level for me. The deffence could be a bit better but the scorring output is massive and keeps everything positive. Edited November 20, 2022 by Scraborn Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just restarted a fresh save, and haven't gone more than 3 days before I start getting a rash of "player x now sammarinese citizen" messages (5 of them in first 3 days). Not sure what to do at this point.... restart as one of the teams in the San Marino league, press on as is, or wait and try to figure out what's going on here. I just took a look at the game editor of the 7 that have claimed sammarinese citizenship, and not one of them start with more than 3 years of the 15 required for citizenship at the game startup. Something definitely up with the Victor San Marino save in Italian Serie D database. Going to give it a go with the San Marino league instead I think.
