Potential Save Ending Bug
So we have come across a bug that could very well end the save, Serie A has failed to reschedule a new season. We ended last season (2035/36) as champions but over the summer the league hasnt reset and has just stalled from where we finished. Even stranger is The Champions League and TIM Cup have scheduled as normal. I am going to holiday a season in the hope its a one season bug but if that doesnt work, I am not sure what to do. I could go to a team in the domestic league but that will be 10 steps back from where we are.
EDIT: Having checked out the bugs forum for similar issues it appears that a game in the Serie C Play Offs has failed to generate a fixture, I am hoping that if i remove this league this coming summer, we can resume the save. Fingers crossed.

San Marino 2037
Group Table Results Nation Squad
This year saw us competing in qualifiers for the 2038 World Cup. We was given a tough draw with England(2), Turkey(17), Albania(71) and Slovakia(76) all ranked higher than ourselves at 106th. We started with a great win over Slovakia. Our next fixtures were a double header against Albania and we went into the games hoping to pick up a win at least but drew both games. We have played them 5 times over the save, with all 5 games ending in stalemates. Next up was England and I expected a loss but we managed to pull off by far our biggest result ever, a backs to the wall 1-0 win meant we were unbeaten and sitting just a point behind Turkey at the half way stage. With 3 of our remaining 4 games against the best 2 sides in the group it was in our hands but we lost all 3 key games and even a win against Slovakia wasnt enough for us to finish in the top 2. Still we are progressing well and our performances have finally seen us break into the Top 100 in the FIFA Rankings and I fancy us to have a good chance of qualifying for a major finals in the next few years.

And We Are Back
So after the issue mentioned in my last post, the save has been saved. I removed Serie C as a playable league and this has allowed the season to reset. So an update on whats been missed:
San Marino Calcio 2035/36
Another hugely successful year for us saw us claim our 4th league title in a row. We also won our 2nd Champions League in a row, we won the UEFA Super Cup, we won the SuperCoppa TIM but lost to Fiorentina in the SF of the TIM Cup. The reserves finished 11th in Serie B.
Our youth in take was pretty much what we have had for the whole save, 5 players at 2.5/3* potential so nobody special.
San Marino Calcio 2036/37
I have holidayed this entire season due to the bug.
A bug has meant there is no league football this season but the Champions League, TIM Cup, SuperCoppa TIM and UEFA Super Cup were unaffected. With no league football our only chance of qualifying for the Champions League was to win it for a third time in a row, we amazingly managed it, beating Fiorentina in the final. I am not sure how the Champions League is going to work out next season as with no league football this season, I dont now how the game will handle who qualifies for what, we should be fine as holders. In the TIM Cup we beat Fiorentina in the final, we beat Man Utd in the UEFA Super Cup and beat Frosinone in the SuperCoppa TIM to have as successful season as could be. We also compete in our first FIFA World Club Cup this summer but I i will put the results for that in the next update.
Our youth intake was poor and we basically lost them all as I was on holiday, luckily none were signed to anyone else and I have signed a couple more for depth.
On another note whilst on holiday we were taken over by a new consortium, who immediately went and spent £248m on two players they had pledged to sign on completion of the takeover. Dont get me wrong, both are very good players but I had just started the policy of not signing anyone so this has annoyed me. We have also lost a year development wise but we have remained on track at least.
San Marino National Team 2036
Having been on holiday for the competitive matches I will keep this brief and pick back up from 2037 in a bit more depth. This year was a Nations League year with us competing in Div C against Cyprus (118), Romania (53) and Lithuania (135). We finished in 2nd place, picking up 2 wins, 3 draws and just 1 loss against Romania. The sides ranked around the top 50 are just proving to strong for us at the moment but we are on the verge on this changing. This was proven in our friendlies where we had a poor showing in a 3-1 loss to Iran, but then picked up a 1-1 draw with Jamaica before beating Honduras and Nigeria which is one of our best results of the save so far. We finished the year ranked in 106th so are still to break into the top 100.

Group Table Results Best 11 100 Games
This year saw us competing in EURO 2036 Qualifiers. Our group was reasonable and with no real giant included, Norway (23) and Serbia (43) were always going to be tough games but I fancied our chances against Cyprus (114) and Albania (74). I thought we may be able to nick a shock spot, i was wrong. we beat Cyprus twice but couldnt pick up any wins elsewhere and got spanked by Norway in one of our games. I was hoping for a better showing in all honesty but we have moved up to a save high of 112th and with the Nations League next year we may be able to finally break the top 100.
U19's World Cup 2035
I mentioned in a previous post that we had been handed a easy looking group stage and easy was an understatement, we stormed through the Group Stage scoring 15 and conceding 0.
We then faced the hosts Honduras and we saw them off easily 4-0.
Into the QF and this is where w faced our first real challenge against Argentina, some of there players would walk into my first team. We battled away but eventually lost 2-1 AET.
To get to the QF was a massive achievement but with alot of the team too old to play at this age in 2 years time I am not certain we will be back next time.

TIM Cup Treble Overview League Table
We have had a fantastic season and almost completed a clean sweep if it wasnt for the loss to Lazio in the Supercoppa. We almost went a seasons worth of games unbeaten including the back end of last season, hitting 32 games but lost to Juventus on matchday 25 and once the league was almost sealed, we was able to rest players the weekends before our Champions League games. To win our first Champions League is massive and we are the first "Italian" side to do so since the save started, actually since Inter 25 years ago (in game).
Playing Squad
They just keep getting better and better. Having lost Protti 29a to Italy on the International front, holding him back no longer made sense. I just wish we could have him play for the national side. Him and Tomassoni 30a have struck up a real partnership on the pitch and our 2 prize youth products were responsible for 35 goals and 34 assists between them this season, both aged 22, they can lead this club for years to come.
Reserves
We have 1 player in this side now who either isnt Sammarinese or wasnt produced by the club and an 11th placed finish is nothing to be disappointed about.
Youth Production
Its our best intake for a while with 2 players who stand out. Casadei 35a is easily the best GK we have produced and could turn into a quality player. He has a few things to work on but he is 16 and can be worked with. The other promising player is sadly Spanish/Uruguayan so thats a shame.
Facilities and Finances
The balance is rising and we should have more than enough in the bank to fund a nice stadium one day. (14 years but I am not counting honest).
Other Stuff
I reached 800 games this season and it wont be long before we hit 1000. Not sure I have ever reached the 4 figure mark in a save so that will be a achievement in itself. Now we have won everything there is to win club wise (not overly bothered about the club world cup), we will be shifting our focus to youth production and start to slowly faze out any players who are not eligible for our national team or produced by ourselves. I dont plan on doing this instantly but more a slow process of only selling one of our foreign players as and when we have a youngster ready to step up and replace him. Initially I dont plan on making any further foreign signings as of this summer, we have a few already lined up but this is now only going to happen if are desperate in a position or for mentoring purposes as i am finding that can be used to good effect on this version of FM.
In the San Marino domestic division another 2 teams turned pro leaving only 3 semi pro sides remaining. Looking at the teams history only 3 sides have upgraded any of the facilities so that is a big disappointment. I am tempted to throw them some money but suspect they will waste it on foreign talent instead of using it to good effect on the facilities.

San Marino 2034
This year saw us compete in the Nations League C against Slovakia (46), Cyprus (106) and Lithuania (136). Even though all 3 are above us I fancied our chances against the 2 lower ranked sides and even thought we may have a chance against Slovakia. In the end we finished 2nd on goal difference but should have topped the group, a win against Lithuania in the 2nd from last game would have sealed promotion but we only managed a draw. Still we ended the year ranked 124th so have started to really jump the rankings, we are still a way off qualifying for a major tournament but we are certainly on the right track.
In the summer of 2035 is the Under 20s World Cup and we have been handed what looks a really straight forward Group. My initial aim was to just get out of the group stage and I am even more confident of doing so now.

We were simply too good for anyone domestically this season and sealed a 2nd title in a row by 15 points from surprise runners up Frosinone.
Our Champions League Group was a reasonable one and we managed to get to our first Semi Final before bowing out to Chelsea. A poor showing in the first leg saw us lose 3-0 and we could only manage a 1-0 win in the return leg. We try again next season.
We sealed the clubs 2nd TIM Cup in 3 years beating Lazio in the final. That being our first Domestic Double.
Playing Squad
We have signed young for basically the whole save and you will see we dont make many big transfers that often as I like to give players time to develop and alot of our side are now coming into their prime. We do need some back up youngsters but I want to try and start giving more time to our Sammarinese kids. We have a few in and around the first team but not enough.
Reserves
I messed up this season and had 42 players out on loan come January and the reserves suffered for it, I am going to hold back 22 players this season to give them a full squad and hopefully avoid a relegation scrap this coming season.
Youth Production
Our worst intake for a couple years, noone I expect to make the first team. We havent really had any amazing intakes as a group. We have had 2 excellent players come through the academy though and 5/6 others who aint bad at all, below are my top 5 players we have produced so far.
A. Tomassoni 30a (AMC) - The best player produced and turned into a key man for the club side this season. He will be a star for the next 10 years at least.
A. Protti 29a (AMR) - He would be our starting right winger but I am half holding him back to try and avoid Italy capping him who he prefers and I think I am fighting a losing battle. But I live in hope.
A. Vicini 32d (ST) - Another player who would rather play for Italy but I dont think he will be good enough. Would help our national side out and is third choice st at the club at the moment.
A. Arzilli 27g (CB) - He stepped up as 4th choice Cb for the club last season as well as playing 30 games for the reserves in Serie B. Aint a bad CB but is a starter for the national side.
J. Stefanelli 28i (ST) - He is not very good and will never be good enough to play for the club sides first team, but he is the best ST the national team have and is the record goalscorer with 23 goals.
Finances and Facilities
Bank balance is rising, just 15 more years til we can build a new stadium.

San Marino 2033
Results Group Table Squad Nation
2033 Saw the senior side competing in a tough World Cup 2034 Qualifying group. The group featured Portugal (7), Switzerland (25), Bulgaria (55), Cyprus (98) and Lichtenstein (211). 4 out of the 5 teams ranked higher than us at 150th. We got off to a bad start losing our first 3 games, the losses against Portugal and Switzerland were expected but I hoped to nick something from the Bulgaria game. To then only lose 2 of our remaining 7 games was brilliant, even nicking a point Portugal and the best win of the save so far by spanking Switzerland 3-0. We lost all 8 games 4 years ago so to pick up 13 points is a massive improvement and lets hope we get even closer to qualifying in 4 years time.
The big results this year have seen us rise to a save high of 136th in the FIFA Rankings, a jump of 14 places in 12 months. I am hoping to organise some decent friendlies next year and get some good results in the Nations League Div C to try break into the top 100 soon.
The Under 19s have again topped the Group in EURO 2034 1ST Qualifiers. But have been handed a hell of a Draw to get to the finals. We beat Holland and lost to England at last summers finals but have beaten Ukraine before so its possible. I thought we may have qualified for the Under 20's World Cup but we haven't. Our performances last summer would have been good enough but its EURO 2034 that decides who qualifies.

EURO 2033 U19's
Our first game in this really tough group was against Spain. Looking at there side, and they had some very good players but I was surprised to see they also had alot at the same standard as us. It was a tight affair, we took the lead after 15 mins started to dominate the first half but couldnt nick another goal. The second half was a reversal and they should have equalised but we held on for a memorable 1-0 win.
The second game was against a ridiculously strong England and I expected to get heavily beaten here. So to only lose 2-0 was not the worse outcome.
Our third and final group game was against Holland. Now we have played them in a qualifier a while back and drew with them so I thought this would potentially be the easiest game of the group. A 2-1 win kind of says it was, but we robbed them being honest. They had 27 shots to our 7, they also had 62% possession and if it wasn't for our goalkeepers heroics, we would have lost easily. Still a 2nd place finish in the group a and a place in the Semi Finals is something to be proud of.
In the Semi Final we had the pleasure of facing France. I knew this was as far as our journey went as they have some players who would walk into our senior side let alone our youth teams. We tried but in the end, they ran out 3-0 winners and deservedly so.
A good experience overall though and I think this may get us a spot for next years U20'S World Cup. I have not received any notification to back this up yet though so I am not 100% certain.

San Marino U19's
2nd Qualifying round.
I am shocked to be honest. We do have a talented little squad but both England and Holland have better teams than us. Still back to back U19 EURO Finals is a fantastic achievement.
EURO 2034 (U19's)
It was a tough group, Germany and Italy were just simply too good for us, with scores of 4-2 and 4-0. We did manage to win against 1-0 against Switzerland and that was enough to see us into the Play Off game for a spot at next years U20's World Cup. The match was against Portugal so I expected to get beat, but to my surprise we kept tight and even after going a man down just before extra time, we managed to nick a 1-0 win. San Marino are going to a World Cup.
Edit: Scrap the above, game crashed and I have to go back to June 22nd which is before the start of the finals, absolute nightmare!!
Edit 2 : Luckily the outcome of take 2 has been identical. We beat Switzerland, Lost to Germany and Italy to finish 3rd, then beat Portugal in the Play Off. I would have been gutted if we had missed out due to a crash.

Can this only be done before the start of the save? Or also mid-save? No experience with the editor..

@Lewis89 How did you manage to get a Reserve/B (u23) squad? So far I have a -18 and -20 squad only.
In the pre game editor. Just select the league for the reserves. Its not possible in Italy otherwise.

Sidenote
Based on some advice earlier in the thread from @Jimbokav1971 regarding trying to get Sanmarinese players in other clubs intakes, I decided this would be the next nationality of my next Under 18's manager. My thinking was that we have been having great success at this level and over the course of the save have lost 12 members of our youth staff to other teams to take on manager roles, none were Sanmarinese though. The problem is there isnt many decent staff about so I had to take a punt and hired the person with the best Determination and WWY attributes. That person was Luca Tomassoni. Now he looks rubbish and I agree he does, but he has been with us 2 seasons and has 1 youth league title to his name. He has just been offered the Chievo job who are currently in Serie B. So the helping getting Sanmarinese staff managerial roles looks like it could work, I will have to keep an eye out for future intakes.
I will again be hiring someone from San Marino as the new u18s manager in the hope the mentioned process can be repeated.

A brilliant season has saw us claw back the title from Fiorentina and win our 2nd title in years. We started the season in some serous form and even when drawn in this Group Of Death we breezed through it. We had a wobble in March and this coincided with our exit from the Champions League against Dortmund in the QF.
In the TIM Cup we got to another Final but were totally outclassed on the day by Fiorentina and lost 4-2. Am actually really enjoying the rivalry that is now developing between us.
We also won the Supercoppa TIM for the first time.
Playing Squad
I said I was going to spend money but in the end only signed 2 players but they played their part. We need a few signings for certain if we are to really challenge for the Champions League in future.
Reserves
Another solid season for them. No surprise to see Milan bounce straight back up.
Youth Production
Forgot to get a shot of the intake but you can see the players we signed here. A few really decent ones in my opinion but the best is Belgian.
Finances and Facilites
The initial expansion was said to be 4000 it turned out to be 7528 to take us up to a capacity of 31166. This is in a country with an estimated population of 33000 (in game). We only sold out in games against the big sides this season and I think we have reached the current stadiums maximum for another 16 years.
Regarding the financial side of things, our best players are now starting to expect big bucks and I currently have kept to a £110k a week limit which isnt going to last much longer unless I sell them so I need to make a decision on that this summer.
Other Stuff
The San Marino domestic league has seen another 2 clubs turn Professional. This takes the tally to 6. The league also rose another 5 places in the rankings to 133rd. Its slow but steady progress and I could kick it on by giving the clubs some money which I am against doing at the moment.

A brilliant season has saw us claw back the title from Fiorentina and win our 2nd title in years. We started the season in some serous form and even when drawn in this Group Of Death we breezed through it. We had a wobble in March and this coincided with our exit from the Champions League against Dortmund in the QF.
In the TIM Cup we got to another Final but were totally outclassed on the day by Fiorentina and lost 4-2. Am actually really enjoying the rivalry that is now developing between us.
We also won the Supercoppa TIM for the first time.
Playing Squad
I said I was going to spend money but in the end only signed 2 players but they played their part. We need a few signings for certain if we are to really challenge for the Champions League in future.
Reserves
Another solid season for them. No surprise to see Milan bounce straight back up.
Youth Production
Forgot to get a shot of the intake but you can see the players we signed here. A few really decent ones in my opinion but the best is Belgian.
Finances and Facilites
The initial expansion was said to be 4000 it turned out to be 7528 to take us up to a capacity of 31166. This is in a country with an estimated population of 33000 (in game). We only sold out in games against the big sides this season and I think we have reached the current stadiums maximum for another 16 years.
Regarding the financial side of things, our best players are now starting to expect big bucks and I currently have kept to a £110k a week limit which isnt going to last much longer unless I sell them so I need to make a decision on that this summer.
Other Stuff
The San Marino domestic league has seen another 2 clubs turn Professional. This takes the tally to 6. The league also rose another 5 places in the rankings to 133rd. Its slow but steady progress and I could kick it on by giving the clubs some money which I am against doing at the moment.

And We Are Back
So after the issue mentioned in my last post, the save has been saved. I removed Serie C as a playable league and this has allowed the season to reset. So an update on whats been missed:
San Marino Calcio 2035/36
Another hugely successful year for us saw us claim our 4th league title in a row. We also won our 2nd Champions League in a row, we won the UEFA Super Cup, we won the SuperCoppa TIM but lost to Fiorentina in the SF of the TIM Cup. The reserves finished 11th in Serie B.
Our youth in take was pretty much what we have had for the whole save, 5 players at 2.5/3* potential so nobody special.
San Marino Calcio 2036/37
I have holidayed this entire season due to the bug.
A bug has meant there is no league football this season but the Champions League, TIM Cup, SuperCoppa TIM and UEFA Super Cup were unaffected. With no league football our only chance of qualifying for the Champions League was to win it for a third time in a row, we amazingly managed it, beating Fiorentina in the final. I am not sure how the Champions League is going to work out next season as with no league football this season, I dont now how the game will handle who qualifies for what, we should be fine as holders. In the TIM Cup we beat Fiorentina in the final, we beat Man Utd in the UEFA Super Cup and beat Frosinone in the SuperCoppa TIM to have as successful season as could be. We also compete in our first FIFA World Club Cup this summer but I i will put the results for that in the next update.
Our youth intake was poor and we basically lost them all as I was on holiday, luckily none were signed to anyone else and I have signed a couple more for depth.
On another note whilst on holiday we were taken over by a new consortium, who immediately went and spent £248m on two players they had pledged to sign on completion of the takeover. Dont get me wrong, both are very good players but I had just started the policy of not signing anyone so this has annoyed me. We have also lost a year development wise but we have remained on track at least.
San Marino National Team 2036
Having been on holiday for the competitive matches I will keep this brief and pick back up from 2037 in a bit more depth. This year was a Nations League year with us competing in Div C against Cyprus (118), Romania (53) and Lithuania (135). We finished in 2nd place, picking up 2 wins, 3 draws and just 1 loss against Romania. The sides ranked around the top 50 are just proving to strong for us at the moment but we are on the verge on this changing. This was proven in our friendlies where we had a poor showing in a 3-1 loss to Iran, but then picked up a 1-1 draw with Jamaica before beating Honduras and Nigeria which is one of our best results of the save so far. We finished the year ranked in 106th so are still to break into the top 100.
