[[FM22] The Great San Marino Challenge]

A two season update and two achievements to add @6499red!

Promotion from Serie B thanks to a 2-0 win vs 3rd place meant for the first time since the first season we weren't in debt. However, huge favourites for the drop, and several players leaving left me threadbare. Sacrificed the cup in Serie A as I had a relegation battling team next up - which we lost anyway! A change of formation mid-season gained us some momentum, and with my 2 rivals for the drop playing each other on the final day I thought we were safe...although it needed an unlikely victory vs Lazio on the final day to secure. Odd takings from the season: we did the double over Roma and Sampdoria, yet we only took 1 point vs rock-bottom Venezia!

Thanks @Thomassje123 that must have taken an age!! Only couple you missed were Win Serie D Playout and Win Serie D Poule Scudetto - but you didn't include those categories in your list.

Just the 1 from me in my update @6499red, and that's promotion from National League D:

Other than that, a year of consolidation in Serie B, so nothing major to report - started well, massively tailed off, before finishing the season average.

As for the National Side, we are on 2 wins from 4 in Euro Qualifiers (Kosovo and Malta) and are now much more competitive against middle of the road teams - however the top top sides continue to punish us! Sitting at 187th in the World - hopefully having an update of Top 150 next season given a few more wins and competing in Nations League C.

Looks like 3 years in Serie D helped for this season! After a slow start, we managed to go on a huge unbeaten run (lots of draws) before tailing away at the end. The gruelling effort of the playoffs meant I had to play with my 2nd string a few times and hoped my first team could recover in the 2nd leg - as well as needing some early help from the ridiculous higher placed team goes through if drawing rule.

Can't imagine going straight through Serie B - but with an easier path to promotion than the other leagues, stranger things have happened...

@6499redCould you update the achievements please?
