San Marino - The Ultimate Challenge!

**Makoto Nakamura** · 30-10-2011 20:29

First game at the new San Giovanni Stadium!

and Page 3

**noikeee** · 30-10-2011 20:30

Angelo Perra is awesome for a 15 years old. I'd definitely hire a player like that - for my russian premier league side. Nevermind for that lower level. Very lucky there to get a player like that I reckon.

**Makoto Nakamura** · 30-10-2011 21:08

Oh my god! this is not happening!

This means no matter what, we will either be in the European Champions Cup Groups or the EURO Cup Groups!

**egesagin** · 30-10-2011 21:09

Is there a qualification 4th leg? :/

Yes, and we're against Olympiakos again....yippee

**egesagin** · 30-10-2011 21:11

tough luck :/ but if you win, that means 6 million pounds, you'll definitely go semi-pro or pro! UEFA groups will still mean semi-pro I guess..

**Coentrao** · 30-10-2011 21:24

Gava looks like he can be a decent CB to be honest, congratulations on that victory over Leverkusen, good progress in Europe!

He may be decent....but he turned down my contract offer and went to Faetano -.-

We also lost 4-1 in the away leg so looks like EURO Cup for us this year

**Johnlc** · 30-10-2011 21:43

Have you tried putting a ridiculously high asking price on your players, has dissuaded the AI from approaching my players in the past. AI may have wised up though but I guess it's worth a try.

**Makoto Nakamura** · 30-10-2011 21:43

I can't see any points, but I get good money from it!

I've tried, that doesn't work with amateur contracts though

**HotChocolate** · 30-10-2011 21:48

That is one tough group, but great progress in Europe! Love reading this!

**ron6632** · 30-10-2011 21:51

Tough group, but fantastic progress. Congrats on getting to the group stage

**sebj** · 30-10-2011 21:52

An Immense, life-consuming venture this looks... fair play

Ah what a shame, hopefully you can turn into semi-pro soon.

Do you mind posting your European Coefficient screenshot of the last 5 seasons? Just wondering if you are getting the bonus points for reaching the group stage of the Europa League since that wasn't happening on FM11.

I didn't know if you meant the Nation coefficients or the clubs, so here's both:

**Coentrao** · 30-10-2011 22:31

I meant the club ones, thank you very much!

You should get 2 points for reaching the group stage of the Europa League but i can see this hasn't been fixed yet..

**gregUK** · 30-10-2011 22:32

What an epic thread and for pure dedication you deserve a big thumbs up

Loving this, and you are steaming along. Your rise so far has been awesome, long may it continue. I know you don't like losing your young stars, but for me in my games, nothing beats seeing one of them play for Barca, AC Milan, Man Utd etc!!

Keep up the good work

Why Thankyou

it's a shame that all my stars go to the other Sammarinese teams.

Can I please have some of the things that Dafuge gets??

**Makoto Nakamura** · 30-10-2011 23:21

**0gris** · 30-10-2011 23:25

An amateur team in the europa league, now i've seen everything.

You think the board might consider turning semi-pro now? :P

Well, about that...

YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEESSSSS!

**MattSpurs94** · 30-10-2011 23:28

WIN

(10chars)

**ron6632** · 30-10-2011 23:29

Congrats

**Coentrao** · 30-10-2011 23:31

Finally congratulations! It should make the game a lot more interesting now

Didn't even know you could request that.

**johnwalker** · 31-10-2011 00:09

I admire your dedication, very impressive.

Keep up the good work!

**hrbfcrule** · 31-10-2011 00:29

Congratz, making real progress now

**egesagin** · 31-10-2011 07:27

Gratz mate, looking forward to more reading ^^ If only college courses were this exciting, I'd get a 4.0 GPA

**Utdchamp** · 31-10-2011 08:45

That's what my FC United board told me, but nothing happened...

**deadfncat** · 31-10-2011 08:47

wowsers. congrats mate

I think I have been inspired to try something similar in a few months

**Romanista1994** · 31-10-2011 09:18

Fantastic progress this season. First the group stages and immediately afterwards semi-pro status with youth facility improvements.

That partnership between Aielli and Perra is incredible.

**Arkas** · 31-10-2011 10:54

Nicely done

.

**gregUK** · 31-10-2011 11:32

Gratz on getting the green light!!! Now sign up those kids, and start stealing the best kids from the other San Marino teams, see how they like it haha

Think you missed the youth only part of the challenge

**egesagin** · 31-10-2011 12:00

He can buy his youth players back

**SnakeXe** · 31-10-2011 12:14

Fantastic thread, really enjoyed reading through the lot.

**Makoto Nakamura** · 31-10-2011 20:43

Wow! thankyou everyone, sorry there has been no updates today, school started again and i've just come back from a halloween party, I'll load up now and tyr to get a couple of hours gameplay done!

**SRL88** · 31-10-2011 22:53

Congratulations on becoming a pro club mate

**Truegunner** · 01-11-2011 15:59

quick question are you using the san marino file where at the start for winning the league you get 25k(prize money)? because if you are it will reach around 10mil when it becomes 2 star, unfortunately it seems to have the same problem as last year

**BurnCM4X** · 01-11-2011 16:27

If he is using mine update (and i think he is) the winning prize is 500 €.

**Makoto Nakamura** · 01-11-2011 17:32

I'm in January now, so should try and get an update tonight

**Makoto Nakamura** · 01-11-2011 19:20

March 8th - Youth Candidates Day

**egesagin** · 01-11-2011 19:21

Fabio looks awfully good for a Sammarinese youngster

**MattSpurs94** · 01-11-2011 19:35

Looks like you got that defender you needed!

**Romanista1994** · 01-11-2011 20:07

Perra and Aielli upfront, the two Fabio's at the back and Belmonte in the middle of it all. Not a bad team you are building up there. The San Marino FA chiefs will be proud.

**Truegunner** · 01-11-2011 20:15

Having read this thread, you are doing really well and you have inspired me to have a go in san marino

**Hellcattt** · 02-11-2011 10:14

Fantastic and epic thread!! I hope someday you'll win the champions league !

**Makoto Nakamura** · 02-11-2011 18:01

Thanks for the encouragement everyone!

I'm sorry my updating is turning into few and far between, but my laptop is pretty knackered, it has little over 800MB free, and that's after Disk Cleanup, Disk Defragmenter and compressing files I mean in total this woeful laptop had 32.5GB hard-drive, and I got it from my granddad..so it's going kaput, I will try to update soon though, sorry for any inconveniences!

**Makoto Nakamura** · 02-11-2011 18:11

NOOOOOOOOOOO!!!

**Scribe** · 02-11-2011 18:46

Noooooooo. Is that a one off crash or has the save gone kaput?

**deltablue** · 02-11-2011 18:49

I've had that quite a few times, though have a weekly autosave as my laptop tends to have a few occasional crashing phases, and haven't lost any results yet, in fact hardly anything at all. Should be able to reload as all I need to do is start FM up again immediately, click 'load last save' and it's business as usual, minus any game time you've lost.

**Romanista1994** · 02-11-2011 18:56

How much did you lose? Crash dumps aren't the worst things that can happen, but I hope you haven't lost too much progress. If it becomes a regular occurence it's a bit more worrying.

**Makoto Nakamura** · 02-11-2011 19:01

I lost like 2 days...weekly autosave, but it keeps crash dumping at that date, It won't let me go past!

**caravanmaster** · 02-11-2011 19:03

Did you tried to holiday the data? Sometimes it work. Any way you should report it on the bugs section.

**Makoto Nakamura** · 02-11-2011 19:14

Going to report it, see what happens

**deltablue** · 02-11-2011 19:16

Try a number of things, once I had to resign to get past a set dump point, but I was able to continue the career. Not much use in a one-club project though.

**Nordan** · 02-11-2011 20:49

Amateur team in the Europa League,just fabulous stuff all round.

**egesagin** · 02-11-2011 20:51

He can alway add a new manager as far as the game is saved..

**Makoto Nakamura** · 02-11-2011 21:20

Yea guys, I've managed to get past the date by retiring and adding a new manager

**egesagin** · 02-11-2011 21:26

Phew.. I was so scared that we'd lose this topic. Now go ahead and make us proud!

**Makoto Nakamura** · 02-11-2011 21:38

First point of buisness for me....2.0 me

**HotChocolate** · 02-11-2011 21:55

Really glad you kept this alive, I really enjoy reading this

I personally would have thought 002 would have been a better choice

**Makoto Nakamura** · 02-11-2011 22:29

haha, I'm afraid the automatic updates will have to wait until tomorrow, school most of the day followed by me playing in a concert.....nervous much!

**egesagin** · 02-11-2011 22:33

Can't be harder than taking a Sammarinese team to the Europa League Groups!

PS: Good luck!

**DazRTaylor** · 02-11-2011 22:36

Mate, just sat and read the entire thread and I tip my hat to you. Simply awesome.

Keep posting and updating!

Go San Giovanni!

School seems so long ago...

and I'm only in college!

**deltablue** · 02-11-2011 23:09

Go 2.0! The CL awaits eventually.

**deadfncat** · 03-11-2011 07:24

new facilities should help a lot in developing talent

**Mark Heath** · 03-11-2011 13:04

Glad you found a way to continue, enjoying reading your progress updates

**snootyjim** · 03-11-2011 16:11

Great career, really hope you make it. Following from here onwards

**Makoto Nakamura** · 03-11-2011 16:30

Thanks all

San Giovanni - Campionato Sammarinese - 2021/22

League Table
League Position Graph

This year seemed alot harder and we struggled to retain the title but in the end we managed to outclass the opposition.

Coppa Titano - Started with a loss then had some high-scoring games and comfortably won the final 3-1.

European Champions Cup & EURO Cup - Got all the way to the Champions Playoff before again being badly beaten by Olympiakos, which put us in the EURO Cup Group Stages against Villareal, Udinese & PSV, we finished dead last scoring 4 and conceding 30 but not doing as bad as Bohemians who scored 0 and conceded 27.

Squad - Another 4 players have left, a couple of Youth Stars now.

Finances - Now £2,453,673 in the black!

Youth Players:

Raoul Belmonte (YP2) - The oldest player in the squad and is a very solid, consistent player with 41 appearances, now has 48 caps.

Giovanni Cambi (YP11) - 6 caps, 41 appearances aswell this year, 20 years old and still has loads of potential.

Remo Aiella (YP12) - A poor season by his standards 46 appearances and 21 goals, but still better than any other Sammarinese clubs strikers.

Angelo Pierra (YP13) - 5 appearances less than Remo, but the same amount of goals, looks better than Remo.

Fabio Bernardini (YP14) - Hopefully going to be leading the back line for plenty of years if he stays at the club, amazing prospect.

Antonio Stanzione (YP15) - Another good striker, I don't know if he'll get many choices due too our first choice strikers being amazing..

**Adelaidean** · 04-11-2011 21:01

Congratulations on turning semi-pro, I've been watching this thread with interest. Always wanted to do a save taking the San Marino club in Italy's C2 to glory and using its facilities to churn out Sammarinese youngsters for the national team, but wow, you're doing it the hard way by using the actual San Marino league.

Best of luck.

**Makoto Nakamura** · 04-11-2011 21:32

Thanks all

Europe was cut short this year...

**egesagin** · 04-11-2011 21:33

Wow gratz mate! Totally good news!

of course just the semi-pro thing, not the cska one

**Makoto Nakamura** · 04-11-2011 21:42

I did go to the EURO Cup fourth qualifier.....we're against AZ...daaang

**SnakeXe** · 04-11-2011 22:30

Semi-pro

AZ

**Makoto Nakamura** · 04-11-2011 22:33

AZ indeed

March 8th - Youth Candidate Day:

**noikeee** · 05-11-2011 16:06

That is a proper player.

**Makoto Nakamura** · 05-11-2011 16:20

Better Youth Facilities & Professionalism

**MattSpurs94** · 05-11-2011 16:24

this.....THIS......this is a win!

**deltablue** · 05-11-2011 16:35

Great developments.

**BurnCM4X** · 05-11-2011 17:12

Professionalism is not always a good thing. It will raise your expenses a lot and sometimes it will be hard to give some profit and accumulate some money.
My experience in low rep leagues is that you should wait till you get a decent income to go pro.

Hopefully with pretty much guaranteed European Football it will keep our finances in the black, like for this year, winning the Campionato Sammarinese gave us £382,000 prize money!

What was the position in the Dynamic Competitions ranking?

EDIT: Saw that it's in top 200, in that case you won't have problems with money i believe... If you already get this value then when you get into the top 50 you will get millions!
