Sheriff7 Posted March 18 Share Posted March 18 (edited) As the title says... THE NATION https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/San_Marino A small nation with big hurt and history! THE CLUB https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ASD_Victor_San_Marino The original club was San Marino Calcio but after some changes/decisions a new club was born. Also their budge has Greek influences because The golden frame of their badge contains the team name and the phrase "Titanus aggressurus Olympum", which refers to the Titans in Greek mythology. Pictured in the center of the badge is a Titan. NATIONAL TEAM As the title says it can't get any worse. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/San_Marino_national_football_team https://www.fsgc.sm/ THE MANAGER https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Andy_Selva Andy Selva is a legend for Sammarinese football and probably their best player ever (him and Massimo Bonini). He finished his career with 73 caps for San Marino and 8 goals (top scorer). He is a Roma born and supporter of Roma fc.He dislikes Lazio according to fm database (i bought in game editor and copy staff and personal stats from real Selva). Also he is fan of Sasuolo and Spal (ex player in both of them) and has great respect for Massimiliano Alegri (ex manager ). IN GAME SET UP CLUB NATIONAL TEAM I don't know how far i can get with this guys because my fm time is much less (i am a father now ) but i really want to enjoy this save. I hope you will enjoy it too. Let's start another journey! Edited March 18 by Sheriff7 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sheriff7 Posted March 25 Author Share Posted March 25 (edited) SEASON 2023/2024 NATIONAL TEAM (quick update) NATIONAL POOL This is San Marino's national pool. TOP PLAYERS Fabri, Nanni (Olbia fc-Serie C) and Colombo (Rimini-Serie C) are our best players. Filipo Berardi, Elia Benedetini,Mateo Vitaoli, M.Palazzi and Di Maio (took Sammarinese citizenship) are important players also. Badallasi played for 5 years in San Marino and took the citizenship also.He will be available for us at next calls. TOP POSPECTS Except Nanni, Fabri and Colombo of course, L.Capicchioni (Sammaurese),G. Capicchioni (Rimini) ,Giacobbi (Bologna), Hoel(US Thionville),Amici (Forsempronese), Pierini (Pietracuta)T.Benvenuti,Tosi and Lazzari (Victor San Marino) are our best youths. STAFFROOM Some big names for San Marino here like Bonini and Della Valle. UEFA EUROPEAN CHAMPIONSHIP QUALIFYING After just 5 days from his appointment Selva had to coach national team for European Qualifiers. A very difficult task against Kazakstan and N.Ireland. Calls had already been named so he had to manage the squad he found here. TACTIC And this will be our tactical plan. MATCHDAY 3 A bad away performance especially in defense. At least we scored a beautiful goal with M.Vitaioli. Colombo (20) and Maggi (22) made their debut here. INFO HIGHLIGHT da40d77d299c7f8b638516aef27127c0.mp4 A great free kick by Vitaioli. MATCHDAY 4 Much better against N.Ireland and a very close defeat! Nanni scored twice for us!First cap for Giacobi. NEXT GAMES Next games for national team will be against Denmark and Finland.

Vitaioli, Tommaso Benvenuti (on loan from Sassuolo) will be in our start XI. Pierini (on loan from Pietracuta) and Giacomi Benvenuti (on loan from Sassuolo) will come from the bench. THE ARGENTINIANS Many newcomers from the country of tango! Our colours and kits are very similar with Argentina's and if i remember correct we have some connections with them. Anyway Alex Gomes, Lucas Ruiz and Santiago Lloret will be key players in my plans. THE LOANS And since we are a poor financially club,we loaned in many players.

Sheriff7 Posted April 5 Author Share Posted April 5 (edited) SEASON 2023/2024 NOVEMBER/DECEMBER/JANUARY 2023-2024 TRANSFERS OUT We sold some players who weren't in Selva's plans but the main problem was something else. Many clubs decide to recal our loans because we didn't used them in the specific duty they wanted. I'm pretty sure most of you had the same problem in this version of fm. We lost Marusic, Grbovic,Villar and Pierini for this reason. Especially losing first two was a big hit for us. IN So... 6 newcomers! Bowden and Dira were in our radars for some months now.They came and immediately entered in our start XI.Zebalos,Stevanovic and Vargas will be bench choices for us. Hahn and Doucoure came in the last days of transfer window after months without a club. Doucoure will start in our XI and will be the replacement of Marusic. SHEDULE An awful November could cost us the promotion this season. Our main problem were the lines in our tactic.It took us 25+ games! to get even one line!I thought it was a bug but after our game against Prato suddenly we had lines in almost every place of our tactic. The bad news are that we lost them again due all these recalls of the loans i wrote before. Anyway... December and January were much better and gave us some hopes to reach first place. INFO A Sammarinese became our youngster ever goalscorer. LEGA NAZIONALE DILETTANTI D(ITALLIAN 4TH DIVISION) LEAGUE TABLE Probably we will be here in next season too. SCISPORTS DATA Thanks to December's and January's performance our team analytics are quite good. TOP PERFORMERS Bowden already made the difference. BOARD & FANS FEEDBACK GAMES FOR THE NEXT UPDATE We are in very difficult position and only W in every game can give us the promotion. Let's see what we can do.

Sheriff7 Posted May 15 Author Share Posted May 15 QUICK UPDATE TACTICAL CHANGES OLD TACTIC NEW TACTIC I forget to mention this in my last update. After many years i decide to make some important changes in my tactical plan. All these years my teams played with long balls, many crosses and with low possession. In my new one we will try to have big numbers of possession , try to work ball into box and generally speaking we will try to have the control of the game. Important changes Hit early crosses changed to work ball into box Regroup changed to counter-press Take long kicks changed to Roll it out We already played some games with the new tactic and immediately it had an impact. In most games we have have much bigger possession numbers, control game better and finish our chances with much better score possibilities. Of course isn't everything perfect as we are more open to counter attacks but generally speaking i am satisfied. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hootieleece Posted May 15 Share Posted May 15 Possession is an underestimated defensive tactic. I call it playing "Keep Away" because your opponent can't score without the ball. My current Club FK Austria Vienna is playing Control Possession inspired by Pep. We have come in second two years in a row due to not having a good goalie. We outscore opponents easily ( 2.45, Xg), but our goalkeepers are either hurt or let in screamers! 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keeping our opponents away is very important in football nowdays. I also have some defending problems and our opponents score with less good possibilities from us, we conceded goals with headers although our center backs have good aerial abilities, jump, header ++) stats. Anyway the perfect tactic doesn't exist and obviously we don't have Pep's money to spend... Edited May 19 by Sheriff7 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sheriff7 Posted May 20 Author Share Posted May 20 Sorry guys but i must put an end to this. My lap top is too old for the database i used + my time for an fm save like this isn't enough. I don't know if i will start something new. Probably a league with (much) less games would be a logical choice but i must do a research for this. Anyway thanks everyone for the interest! 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
