    I've used him - we believe he's been a San Marino resident - he's the only one and hardly like you'll win the World Cup because of him anyway!

    Thanks man. You're going to have to give me some tips on how you survived Serie C with Sammarinese and youth intake only! Unfortunately I can't get a Berardi/Nanni on loan, so the quality is just so different.

    2023/2024 Season

    San Marino National Team

    We managed to finish 4th in the Euro Quals with 2 wins against Faroe Islands and one against Armenia.  We still lost heavily to England, but did score 1 - I won't mention they scored 10 in both in games...  We're 186th in the world.

    Victor San Marino

    I was completely ruthless with my Serie D winning squad.  Only 3 regular starters were retained - all Sammarinese - Fabbri in the centre of defense and 2 new gens (1 youth product, 1 I signed from San Marino Academy).  In came 6 on loan.  The fixture list was kind to us early on and we got an excellent start.  With morale up, we kept going when we played the bigger boys.  We had a couple of blips - in December and then late in the year when the nerves really hit us - but going into the last round of fixtures, Cesena played earlier than us and needed to win to put pressure on us.  They drew 0-0 and we were Champions of Serie C!!  Once again, this side will be gutted - I might have 3 or 4 I'll have on the bench - but it will be an all new starting XI.  Finances are good as only 1 of the loans cost us any money.

    Youth Intake

    Italian heavy - but 2 OK Sammarinese prospects, although with 3 promotions in a row, we are rather outgrowing our intakes.

    Cosmos

    Europe was fun.  We did OK in the Champions league - winning the Prelim rounds easily and then winning the first qual round before running into Young Boys and losing 5-0.  We then drew Qarabag in the Europa League and went straight out, losing both legs 4-2.  Drawing Mjallby of Sweden in the Conference League final qual round, we put together a fine performance to win the first leg 2-0 at home.  We went 1-0 up in the second leg and hung on to win 3-2 on aggregate to make the Conference League group stage, which was massive for us financially.  We stank in that - losing every game in a tough group - but the prize money allowed us to turn professional and start to upgrade some facilities.

    Domestically, we won the treble - only losing 2 games in the league all year and looking dominant.

    Youth Intake

    The preview said it was going to be a poor intake, but it was pretty good and hopefully development will be better now we are full time.

    Nice! I'm doing Victor San Marino with Sammarinese and youth intake only as well. Serie D is going well, but slightly nervous for the jump!

  3. @6499red Broke Andy Selvas Goal Record

    Unfortunately just missed out on promotion from International League Group D. Had a man go down against Latvia with 10 minutes to play and went down a goal. Nicola "The Machine" Nanni breaks the record, though. Also, coming in under top 200 in the world!

    Completed the following:

    Win the Eccellenza Emilia-Romagna Cup

    Won a National Team game

    Won the Dillettanti Cup

    Win promotion from the Eccellenza / Title

    Nice man! I don't know if I'm going to be promoted this season. Currently in 2nd at the halfway mark but I'm only signing Sammarese players for my save, so I'm really thin at a lot of positions.

  5. Hi all!

    I'm pretty new to all of this, and I've been playing a save in Gibraltar. I've won the league the last 3 years and am doing pretty well, but to have these young guys trained for 3 years and eligible for the team (Have to have at least 5 in the playing 11), I'm just looking for players between 15-18.

    What is the best way to find these guys? I'm also trying to find the best way for the work permits and how that works exactly (Once they are denied, what do I do?). Are there filters to find top guys?

    Appreciate any and all advice! Love the game. Hope you all had a great Christmas.

    Thanks!

  6. Checking in during my 4th Season.. Had a player break the Selva scoring record! Matteo Vitaioli has it.. but I don't think it will be much longer.

    Spent 2 seasons in Serie D, and am in my 2nd season in Serie C after barely surviving relegation.

    I should have mentioned that I am doing an all Sammarese team, so things are a bit rough, but I'm grinding the best that I can!

    Hope all of you are having fun with this challenge.
