So question. I know there was an issue with the dynamic youth rating not working as expected when the game first came out. Has this issue been resolved? Has anyone see it actually start to move? If you have, are you playing as Victor San Marino or are you playing in the San Marino league? I am in 2027 now and San Marino still has a youth rating of 29 despite everything that I have accomplished as Folgore/Falciano. On the club level we have qualified for the group stage of the champions league, with a couple of San Marino players in our stating XI but at the nation level we still languish at 207th in the world and I am only able to win about a 1/3 of our games even against lower competition.

Still a very 'international' group (I love pulling people in for trials and signing those I like). We have lured in a couple of San Marino internationals (our GK Columbo of note) and we are finally starting to get some youth talent that can be of use in the future. I have to play two SMR players in each league game and I am finally at the point where I feel that I have two players that actually contribute as opposed to one that I am just hoping doesn't screw up.

So, update on the save. I am currently at the start of season 4. In each of the last two seasons I lost quickly in Champions League qualifying but battled through Euro Conference League and got into the group stage (I think I posted the first one of those campaigns earlier in the thread). In each of those campaigns we exceeded expectations for the group, finishing second. In each season we lost in the first knockout round but still a rounding success. This has done a number of things. Most notably . . for the nation of San Marino, our coefficient has increased to the point where the nation now sits in 29th on the coefficient table, giving us 1 CL and 3 ECL spots. More San Marino teams playing in Europe hopefully means that soon more of them will be doing well, making group stages, going Pro, investing in their facilities, and ultimately getting better youth (if they fix that damn bug)
This marked the first season we did not have to play in that preliminary play-off and boy did we take advantage of that. Some favorable draws, two amazing home wins, and an amazing night in Montenegro that saw us overcome a first leg defeat had has going into Jan Breydelstadion, the home of Club Brugge, for the second leg of the Champions League Champions Path Playoff flying high and up 3-2 . . . one game away from the glory land of Champions League Group play. Sadly, we ran out of miracles and crashed back to earth with a 4-1 defeat. However, even in defeat, we had qualified for the group stage of the Europa League and our coefficient was high enough we were actually in the 3rd pot for the draw. Then . . . the draw . . . oh boy. I'm not crying . . . your crying . . . maybe they will make a mercy rule?
In all honesty though, I think we have a chance of finishing 3rd and perhaps qualifying for ECL knockouts again but it will take a couple of really good games against Lausanne for that to happen.

I make liberal use of trials. Basically, when I get the scouting center update I offer a trial to almost everyone on the list. Also, with the money you make from CL and ECL in the first season with Folgore you can send scouts out to Italy and Southern Europe for a price. My biggest issue the first season was that I was constantly listed as 'struggling' with staying in the wage budget. I basically just ignored it and did what I wanted, hoping the board would reward us second season with a good increase and they did. That one is a bit weird though because the actually 'wages' for all of my players are $0 but I guess they also include the 'per appearance' fee into your per week wage calculation.
I have also had an nearly 100% turnover from season 1 to season 2 and expect I might again going into season 3, unless I am able to go pro. Finally, I use my connections as the national team manager to scout all of those players and try to see who I can lure to the club with promises of playing in Europe . . . hence why I was able to get Colomubo from an Italian Serie D side
I can't and I also can't ask for it to the board. I really want to scout in Italy. Thanks for the screen
That is weird that you can't. Anytime I hit scout on someone outside the range it asks if I accept the additional cost.

Nice @Lefurjah Do you have a screenshot of your squad? I also play with Folgore but I can't scout outside of San Marino so I find it very hard to find players

@6499red One more achievement for the books - Qualify for knockout of Euro Conference League.
I still don't know how we did it. A respectful 1-0 loss to PSV to start the campaign then undefeated (3 wins, 2 draws) the rest of the way to qualify in 2nd position.

@6499red Another milestone down . . . qualified for Euro Conference League
After a lost in the first CL prelim game I did not put much hope in this season but a magical run fuelled by a very favorable draw as seen us make it to the group. Now . . . what is the most goals given up by a team in the group phase??

Okay, bug . . . or something . . . that I have run into and I am curious if anyone else who loaded the databases as seen then. I am at the start of my third season in San Marino and just had the draw for Champions League . . . and I drew PSG. Yes the French Champions now apparently are drawn in the first qualifying round for the Champions League. I went in to look at the nation club coefficents and it appears all of them have reset to 0.00 across the board. I posted a pic below but wanted to see if anyone else as run into this. I save my game with a new save after each day I play so I was able to go back and looks like this might have been something from the very beginning. Fearing I might have to start over . . .which would suck.

I can’t register free agents outside of the regular transfer windows, and I have to register all players, even my own youngsters.
@Tactical Genius I don't know about the youngsters, but I am doing a save in the 3rd tier of German with the standard FM database and I was not able to register free agents outside of window so that may just how the registration rules work.

@6499red I was looking at the the league and I think you need to change the milestones for those of us that will be playing in the San Marino domestic league. As of 2020/21 (and this is what the database you posted in the first thread reflects) there are no more groups. All 15 of the teams are in one group, playing each other twice, before advancing to a 12 team playoff. The winner of the playoff goes to CL with the loser going to ECL. The cup winner also goes to the ECL, and I assume if the cup winner is a finalist in the playoff that last ECL spot goes to either the highest remaining team from league play or winner of the third place game in playoff.

Yea, the only way to find it is the in-game editor. I turn it on to look at it each year at the end of the season because I wanted to track to see if it changed.
