[[FM21] The Great San Marino Challenge]

After a few years in an awkward situation, the San Marino challenge is making a comeback! Following the demise of the old San Marino Calcio in 2019 and the awkwardness of editing/removing Cattolica, a new team was formed in July this year. It is called Associazione Sportiva Dilettantistica Victor San Marino or A.S.D.V. San Marino, for short.

 

from @Handyfernandy (thanks for the heads up)

The club will be entering into the Eccellenza Emilia-Romagna Group C (5^th tier) of Italian football. It is known they will join the Excellenza-leagues, but not which, yet – so I thought this was the most realistic

The club will play at the Stadio di Acquaviva, which is also home to SS Virtus and the San Marino Academy Women’s team – not at the national stadium and home of the old SM calcio, surprisingly.

 

from corriereromagna.it

The limited information I could find on the club on the web in English or articles I have translated have put the club’s staff as follows;

President - Luca Della Balda (SMR)
Coach – Gianni D’Amore (ITA)
Assistant Coach - Giampaolo Ceramicola (ITA)

And that’s pretty much it. I have tried to put them on par with other tams in the 4^th/5^th tier but it seems they end up with a very small budget, relatively, but this wasn’t meant to be easy!

I’ve also managed to get some fantastic (fantasy) kits created (thanks to UseTheFrags), which we can use in this save.

 

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                 Home                                    Away                                     Third

So, with the bunch of edits I have made for this save to work, the challenge can largely follow the old form of the challenge. So, without further ado,

This challenge entails winning the World Cup with the San Marino National Team, while using A.S.D.V. San Marino as a club to help develop players from the nation (and/or a team in the San Marino domestic league  

 

 

Things you will need to download

 

·         You will need an Italian leagues database that goes to at least level 5, I recommend using the database by Sangue Blu, as it is the only one currently updated for 21.4
https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2412966662

 

·         You will need a database for the San Marino domestic league, I have used the one by claassen, as he always makes great stuff. However, I had to personally verify it for the 21.4 database to match the Italian one in the editor. Link below
https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2592368956
I will happily take this down if claassen is unhappy

 

·         You will also need the edit I have made to create A.S.D.V. San Marino in the game.
Link Below (Make sure it loads last)
https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2592366981

 

Optional

 

·         I have created a small graphic pack with logos for the club, stadium picture, and kits (from UseTheFrags) - just extract into graphics folder and reload skin. Link Below
https://www.mediafire.com/file/d7xnpo0gs47wzfn/san_marino.rar/file

·         Strongly recommend logo and kitpacks (I’m using TCM and SS packs – but cant find any kits for other teams in tier 5)

 

Of course, if you are using any other methods/databases/versions of FM you are more than welcome to post here! - the thread for FM19 and FM20 will remain.

 

Rules and Instructions

 

To have the option to manage the San Marino National Team you MUST select the "Advanced" option on the database size screen; and then go to nations, San Marino and make sure "load all players of nationality" is ticked or you'll be unable to take control of the National Team. This must be done when selecting leagues at the start of the save.  You have the choice of managing the National Team from the start of the save, or not. I strongly recommend adding players to playable teams.

Don't use the in-game editor or genie scout.  No changes in the pre-game editor other than those needed to make the challenge possible.

Profile and tactics are up to you, but no save scumming. Extra points for funny names.

You can approach the rise to Serie A as you see fit.  To make this tough challenge harder, you are quite welcome to go for a Youth only challenge, sign Sammarinese players only - or sign whoever you want.  At some point, the club will need to focus on developing Sammarinese talent from the youth system to feed the National Team.  Developing the youth system is tough early in the save, as the club's finances aren't great.

Please post updates in this thread - tag me with a screenshot as evidence and I'll update achievements.  A few targets on the way are in the posts below, hopefully to keep things interesting as the World Cup is some distance away at the start of the save!  Likewise, tag me if you are bowing out, and I'll make a note of your final status - getting the club to Serie A would still be a massive achievement after all!

I recommend you make a list of achievements in a table or something at the bottom of your posts, too, in case I am unable to update the list.

Be friendly and good luck!

p.s.

The legacy achievements people made in older versions of FM remain in @duesouth’s earlier thread https://community.sigames.com/forums/topic/496311-fm20-fm19-the-great-san-marino-challenge/

p.p.s.

yes, I did use the old post by @duesouth as a template for this one

[[FM20] [FM19] The Great San Marino Challenge]

Hey @duesouth

just getting going on a san marino challenge on fm21 with the new club a.s.d.v. San marino (edited in club, kits etc)

Should I start a new thread or post here? (Could be for fm21 / 22 - new era for San marino)

[FM20] Barnacle Bill – Corfe Castle FC

Mid-Season 2019-20 update/interesting tidbits

I found out our admission price is only £1, which I suppose is not that surprising – but there are clubs in our league charging £5 per game!

The players I brought in are now really finding their rhythm, hopefully we win the league at a canter given that the game thinks many of them would be leading level 10 players!

 

Our only loss so far this season has been to Gillingham, who are really keeping pace with us so far, It seems they have also bought in swathes of real players, like me, who seem to be far better than the players the game created for our teams.

 

I think this is the first time I have had an entire team of the week be my players – although it came after a 9-1 drubbing of Bridport’s reserves and beating Merley Cobham Sports 6-0!

Looking forward to the youth intake, although even a wonderkid could struggle to break into the squad, given that GK is our strongest player currently.

I’ve started using an instant result skin to hopefully get through the early seasons a little faster.

I have begun as Corfe Castle manager, after applying for the jobs in my local league (Dorset Premier Football League) and choosing them on the merits of their cool badge and unique location. I’ve added the logos of the teams in my league to the game too.

Pre - Season

 

A rather indifferent run of friendlies to begin the season, it seems. Although at least we have shown our scoring pedigree against teams of the same level to us. Furthermore, we were 4-1 up vs Paulsgrove before putting on all the kids and messing about with tactics. I always tend to have teams that concede a lot but also score a lot.

Hopefully, I will be back with an update soon!
