  1. Started this on FM21 managing La Fiorita in the Sammarinese League and San Marino the nation.

     

    First season we narrowly topped the table, and followed that up with winning the league championship (interesting new format for this season...) so we were league champions in every sense of the word. We also won the Coppa Titano to complete the domestic double.

    My first game was against St. Joseph’s (GIB) in the Europa Preliminary qualifier which sadly we lost 2-0.

     

    Second season we started with Champions League qualifying, overcoming Prishtina 3-2 in the 1st Preliminary Round and KÍ on penalties in the 2nd Preliminary. We faced Fehérvár in the 1st Proper qualifying round and lost 2-0 in both legs for a 4-0 aggregate loss. We dropped to the Europa Conference League qualifiers and annoyingly drew the highest seeded team in it, losing 9-1 on aggregate to Dinamo Zagreb.

    I’m going strong domestically, having won the Supercoppa and with no blemishes on our 100% record after 8 games.

     

    I think to start progressing properly I need the club to become fully professional so I can actually get players tied into contracts, as they’re all non-contract pay-to-play deals at the moment and anyone half decent gets snapped up by teams in the Italian Serie D. My first youth intake was dreadful (nobody above 3* potential, even compared to these players...) but I have invested the CL qualification money in new Training and Youth facilities and Junior coaching already.

     

     

    On the international front, we managed a 0-0 draw in Gibraltar in our first outing, followed up by a 2-2 friendly draw with Somalia. We lost both games to Liechtenstein in the Nations League but drew our 2nd game with Gibraltar 0-0 as well. Our first win came in a friendly against Sri Lanka with a resounding 5-1.

    World Cup qualifiers are obviously a real step up in class so 2021 has been far worse on the international front, losing all but one match; a 2-2 home draw against Belarus on matchday 9.

    There’s a couple of semi-decent newgens at Italian clubs but nobody shining too brightly.

     

    I’m not one for in-depth updates but will probably post a season review at the end of each year!

    All players from my squad are on holiday, while the Upper League cup starts in February. The players will return from loan late March, so they will miss the whole tournament. Needs a fix right away.

    I'm just now experiencing this issue at the start of the 2024 season. I haven't had the issue during 2023 or 2022, however.

     

    This is definitely an issue that needs to be rectified.
