FC Domagnano/San Marino Season 9 Review

Competitions

Another domestic double which is pretty straight forward for us now.

We failed to do better then last season in the Champions League which is disappointing but we did manage to get a few draws at the start of the group stage but the big teams were just too dominating for us to handle.

Players

Riccardo Tollardo

An absolute goal machine for us this season with a whopping 46 goals. We rejected a bid from Empoli for him.

I don't know how long we will be able to keep him but he did agree to sign a new contract so hopefully we have him for a bit longer. I also hope to have the option to try call him up to the San Marino national team sometime soon as he is soon to be eligable to call up the national team.

Chaker Tritar

Tritar stepped up this season with 16 goals and 19 assists.

Best Overall 11

Player Accolades

Supporters Profile

Core supportors down massively dropping 34% but Fair Weather and Corporate fans up. 

Our social media followers are up massively as well to 10.8k which is 4.2k up from last season.

We have 297 season ticket holders which I think is the same as last season so no progress on there.

We managed to break record and average attendance records for the club this season due to the expansion.

Without me asking the board have decided to build a stadium but no information yet on how many fans we can hold. I will update once I know.

We did convince the board to improve training facilities again which once built should give us state of the art training facilities. 

The only thing I would need to improve then is the youth facilities.

Once you have clicked subscribe to the database edits, you will need to close FM (if you have it open) and re-open it.

Click on start new career mode and in the top right under "database" click on the box and there will be some tick boxes and you just tick the ones you want to use.

 

Screenshot below to help.

 

Hi mate, 

This is what I had tried and the database part in the top right is greyed out and I am not able to select it. Do I need to pay extra to have this enabled? OR having something selected in preferences etc?

Any help appreciated!

Thanks

It seems to now be working!

Subscribed to another custom DB and opened up FM23 and can now select different add-ons. Let the fun begin!

[Ronaldo Beckham]

The San Marino league has a small rise due to probably not doing better then last season but it is still progress.

The club has risen up to 83rd best club in Europe now which is up 49 places from last season.

This will help greatly for the club. 

[Skora11]

Have started with Victor San Marino in the Eccellenza. Decided to go down the route of only signing players that are eligible for the San Marino national team and using my youth academy graduates. Might be a short lived save as the board want to get promoted to Serie D straight away.

FC Domagnano Champions League Journey So Far

We managed to make the group stage again with wins over Floriana, Omonoia and Legia Warszawa. 

Champions League group football guaranteed for another season.

We play strong opposition in Liverpool, Bayern Munich, Dortmund, Roma and Marseille but we also have winnable games Vs Maribor, St Patricks Athletic and maybe Rangers so you never know.

I want to try do better then I did last season in the Champions League.

How are the others san marino teams doing in europe?

Also how is going with the National Team?

By the looks of it none of the other San Marino teams have done well in Europe but that is expected as I am the only profressional team in the country. 

In the 9 seasons I have been in charge of the San Marino national team we haven't moved up the nations rankings by much. 

We have gone from 210 to 209 in 9 seasons which isn't very good but we have gotten wins Vs Malta, Latvia and Liechenstein.

This is the national team at the moment.

There are 5 players in the National team from FC Domagnano in the current squad and 4 of them are in the first team.

 

[Ronaldo Beckham]

This was pretty cool thing to see.

I also convinced the board to improve the youth facilities again.

Shocking Win In Europe

[Ronaldo Beckham]

I am gutted he has gone and for so little but on the bright side the club gets 40% of the next transfer fee and he is currently rated at £4.2-£8.2m so it might be a good earner for the club if he does well there.

[Ronaldo Beckham]

FC Domagnano/San Marino Season 10 Review

Competitions

Another title won and in dominating fashion with us having an unbeaten season in the league. 

We also won the Copa Titano by beating San Giovanni 3-0 in the final.

We have now won the cup 7 times in a row.

We done well in the Champions League in the end with victories vs Maribor and Rangers and a draw against St Patrick's Athletic but as expected we lost to all of the big teams.

Players

Candas Fiogbe - 27 Year Old Beninese Striker

I have been slowly bringing in some African and South American players into the squad lately and Fiogbe has been excellent so far with 34 goals for the season and 13 assists. He also has the best average rating.

Best Overall 11

Player Accolades

 Fiogbe won the Player Of The Season and Pieraccini won the Young Player Of The Season.

Supporter Profile

Core down by 35% which concerns me. Casual fan up by 19%

We now have 28k social media followers up by 4k from last season. We also now have 325 season ticket holders which is up from 297 last season.

The board finally let me know how big the new stadium is going to be.  We will get to hold 9,526 fans and will cost us £7.8m to build. 

It will be completed in 2 years time.

 

[Ryninho]

Hi Guys, Regarding the issue with the san marino league and cup not showing past winners, would i need to start a new save to rectify that or would it be possible to continue in my current save?

[marco90li]

Luron db shoukd be fixed now, with the addition of the U21 & U19 leagues

I'm simulating 1 season now to see if it works

Just simmed a season, looks to be showing past winners! Might have to give this a go now.

[Scraborn]

only 25 players is a bit harsh

Edited December 3, 2022 by Scraborn

[Scraborn]

So I decided to stick with the Database made by Luron and restarted another time Again with San Giovanni and San Marino... Had a blast off a start and can tick some of the goals of this challenge

So meet my Club

We are San Marino

These Guys are here to be tested

And this was our first Match as Manager of San Marino - See you in summer

 

[Ronaldo Beckham]

San Marino league rises up the leagues rankings again and we are now 104th in the leagues rankings. Nearly hitting the top 100. 

It is nothing to get excited about yet as we are only slightly higher then the English National League. 

FC Domagnano rose up the club rankings and we are now 75th best team in Europe.

We are now better then teams like Olympiakos, Valencia, Lille, Aston Villa, Everton etc.

Always wanted to have a go at building San Marino so I've downloaded Italy to level 5 and just started up with Victor San Marino. Not sure if I'll be able to get the National Team job down the line or if I needed to do that when setting up my game - can anyone advise please?

Alternatively I see playing within the Sammarinese League is a popular approach, and I'd happily go down that route instead.

I'm only in preseason so happy to scrap and start over if I've got it wrong.

I would do it as a joint manager with the San Marino national team as the job might not come available for a long long time due to the very low expectations. 

I have lost nearly every game in the 10 seasons I have done so far and not been anywhere near getting sacked.

Good luck with the challenge. I hope you enjoy it.

My Champions League Journey So Far Season 11

We had an easy run of it until we played Dinamo Zagreb but surprisingly we beat them 2-1 on aggregate. We got a vital 1-0 away win vs them and then grinded out a 1-1 draw in the home leg.

As always in the group stage we got some winnable games and some impossible games lol.

Winnable games vs Baroe Stara Zagora, Sligo Rovers and FC Kobenhaven but then the rest we will most probably get thrashed especiall by Liverpool, Inter Milan, Napoli, Dortmund and Real Socidad.

 

[davenumber40]

Giving this challenge a go in the San Marino league. 

Does anyone have any advice or good articles or youtube videos for managing the national pool? I've never done international management (well at least) and it's a little overwhelming.

Hire scouts and have them search the scouting pool for players. best to leave the stars searched at 2 stars maybe for current ability as you won't get a lot of great players at the beginning. You'll be building the team around Nanni, Berardi, Benedettini and Fabbri basically for the first few years.

Don't get too attached to players until you turn profressional.

You will probably have a different team every year.

Try look at players with good current ability over potential ability in your first few seasons.

I do worry this is a challenge I wont be able to conquer even if I play for the whole year 

[Ronaldo Beckham]

God Help Me

Also the board sold this player when I went on holiday for a measly £12.75k with no added clauses and now he is rated at £15.5m-£18.5m.

So annoying.

I'm almost 40 seasons in and won the Champions League only once, so no worries haha. Maybe I will pick the national team up again in few seasons. Squad is starting to look pretty decent now fot rh national team

[RoyvdVen]

Hello,

I did a season with AGE database but the playoff was not correct and in the end of the season no fireworks when i won it.

I think that Luron database is the best only then you are semi professional and AGE has Amateur

I lost 6-2 on aggregate to Athletico Madrid but I am still buzzing for our boys who are gradually progressing more and more each season.

I will do a full season review tomorrow evening.

SEASON 1 UPDATE

We won the San Marino League in the first season at 2 matches from the end, but mid-season we were +12 from the 2nd but due to the fact that we aren't professional, a lot of team took our best players, especially the italian teams

in the Coppa Titano we weren't really good as we got out in the quarter at the 96° minute of extra time

We got another Sponsor for Season 2 + the money from the match in the Champions League

We also almost got the double of fan in the Social Media

FC Domagnano/San Marino Season 11 Review

Competitions

Another dominant season domestically for us.

Players

Our top player was our goal machine that is Domenico Calvia. The Italian Stallion smashed in 65 goals in 48 games. 

Amazing when his finishing is only 8.

Roberto Verde was also amazing with 23 goals and 20 assists. Him and Cervia are way too good for the San Marino team but we are happy to have them as long as we can.

Best Overall 11

Accolades

Supporters Profile

Hardcore down which is concerning and Fairweather is up. Hopefully the Fairweather fans turn into Core or Hardcore soon.

Our social media followers are on the up with an extra 5k followers from last season. We now have 35.1k social media followers.

We have 350 season ticket holders now as well.

 

[Ronaldo Beckham]

The San Marino league has risen up the rankings again. We moved up 12 places to now 92nd best league in Europe.

FC Domagnano are now the 48th best team in Europe. We finally hit the top 50.

[G_D_K]

It took a full season (plus) of national team management, but we finally found a team we could beat!  

Sadly, it's only a friendly.  But, after two youth intakes from the various leagues, I'm hoping to find a gem or two to bring into the national squad and bolster our chances in the coming year.

Results from first year in charge of national team

 

Meanwhile, after winning Serie E with my Victor San Marino Squad, we're sitting in pretty good shape heading into the final month of our first season in Serie D.

 

With a single promotion from the league, it looks like it will take a fair while to move up again.... but, we'll keep at it until we do!

FC Domagnano Champions League Journey So Far

We managed to beat IFK Mariehamn, Dinamo Batumi, CFR Cluj and finally Legia Warszawa to get through to the Champions League group stage.

Some winnable games Vs Sturm Graz & Brondby but I don't fancy our chances against any of the other teams as they are so strong but we will see and try our best.

Out of interest, are you signing anyone for Victor San Marino or only Sammarinese players? Think I’ve made a tough enough challenge even tougher with limiting my player base!

[champmanager22]

Hi, always loved the idea of the San Marino challenge, is there a reliable database that can be used??

[theBlackPrince]

S.C. Faetano - Look like Brazil, play like Brazil? 

Who doesn't love a good tree in a logo? As a Nottingham Forest supporter just had to go for the team who look like Brazil also - S.C. Faetano. They have a very modest 3 league titles to their name, the last in 1999. They also have 3 Coppa Titano titles to their name, the last in 1998. A team without a trophy since Y2K looks like a great choice to start with!

I will be managing the San Marino National Team from the start also and have the following set up, along with the AGE database (Rightly or wrongly). The man to take charge will be 19-year-old Samuel Mazza, that well know sunday league player with no coaching badges! As everyone knows on here, first few seasons the churn of players is real, so won't be following them too closely. But this is the squad I managed to scrape together to start the season and glad to see several Sammarinese players still in the starting 11.  

Now, let's see how the first season goes and for now, will probably just update the National team once a season.

Our Greatest Result In History Of San Marino Football

We went from winning 2-1 to losing 3-2 to drawing 3-3 and then get a late winner to make it 4-3 and the best result in the clug and country of San Marino's history.
