    I've been searching for a DB file that works with the latest update. @Hatton90 can you help me with a link ? :-) 

    I couldn't find one due to the league structure changes. I just used the 10.2 update instead. Not much difference apart from player transfers and they won't matter as those players won't be around once you get high enough

  2. National Team Season 1 - 2018/2019

    I never expected anything in the first year but I do think I managed to exceed expectations in the National Team.

    I think we done very well in the Nations League, finishing 3rd with 5 points. Could have beaten Moldova aswell but they equalised in the 95th minute. We were also very unlucky against Malta with a 94th minute equaliser going against us. Berardi is my current top scorer, with 3 goals for me, which is the only 3 goals he has scored for San Marino. He is rated as our best player and only 22, so even though he is on the wing, I hope he can overtake the great Selva soon. We have been pushed up to 196th in the world rankings and I hope strong showings in the Quals will increase this. I'm hoping for a 4th place finish, above Israel and Malta which is where I currently sit. It will be tough to get anything from Denmark and England, and I will have to hope to nick a point or two off Romania. I have already put Baldacci in my national team squad and will look to start bringing off the bench in my next set of fixtures. 

  3. Finally got round to starting this, and have finished the first season now. 

    Season 1 Review - 2018/2019

    I decided to take over the national team as well as the club team from day one, in the hope that I can get the tactics similar at this early stage. This could help the youngsters coming through, not only at my club side but the local San Marino teams too. Firstly, our start with the club side of things:

    San Marino Calcio

    I decided to try and keep it as homegrown as possible and place a few rules on the players that I can sign. I would only sign when I absolutely had to, (in terms of long term injuries or players being sold), or I could sign San Marino nationality players that need game time. I was hoping that this would force me to play the youngsters as soon as possible and that this would aid their development. This meant that I only ended up signing 2 players this season, both coming in the second half of the season, and both because of long term injuries. (Although I think the AI had signed some players before I took over).

    I thought it was a decent season to be fair, we only lost 5 games, a record beaten by only the champions of the league, although 14 draws need to be bettered next year. Our defence was great but we just couldn't put the ball in the back of the net. This is highlighted by the fact that our top 2 scorers was a midfielder (Gasperi with 10) and a winger (Gasperoni with 8). As our self imposed transfer ban, I'm hoping that our strikers find form next season. We didn't lose a game in the whole of 2019, only conceding 6 goals in this time aswell. This equates to 17 games, although 6 were 0-0 draws. If we can carry this on, I don't see why we can't get promoted next season. 

    I forgot to get a screenshot of the Youth Candidates when they became available but I did tag 5 of the players (only 1 or 2 will be good enough for our club, but the others are likely to do something at National Team level) Annoyingly, our best youth product was Italian only nationality so did not get a tag. I won't not use him because of this but he will be below others in the pecking order that are SM nationality.

    I think Baldacci's determination could see him become a regular starter for the National team, but all in all I'm happy for the variety as the other 4 will cover all of defence and midfield which means I shouldn't struggle for good players in positions for the National team. Towards the end of the season, I gave Baldacci and Casadei some game time off the bench, and some starts for the former. This resulted in Baldacci getting his first goal for the club on the last game of the season to secure 4th place with the winner in a 3-2 win. I will try and get some more game time next season for these 2 especially.

    Our best X1 mirrored nearly exactly our strongest eleven apart from Grandoni at LB (he was used as a sub) and Marconi should have taken his place (7.08 rating apposed to 6.97). Our 2nd top scorer in Gasperoni didn't make it, but I rotated the 2 winger spots between 3/4 players as they all performed well so that's not too surprising. There was even a spot on the bench for youth recruit Gabriele Baldacci 19a. ( 1 goal in 8 games 6.8 rating)

    Next season, I see no reason why we can't challenge the top spots more and maybe sneak into the playoffs, especially if our defence remains tight. The board just want top half again, which I am happy with. It's great to have low expectations, means less chance of getting sacked suddenly. 

     

    Sorry for the long post, I will put the NT in it's own separate post. 

     

  4. England only went and failed to qualify for the World Cup, just one player is going, Christopher Hatton with Colombia. Everyone else has retired or their team isn't there.

    5 players contracts are running out in a month.

    Going to make the managers World Rep a bit higher, see if it helps.

    GET IN THERE!!! Come on Los Cafeteros!!! (Yes i did have to Wiki that)

    Hopefully I will deliver the word cup and then retire from international on a high! He can't keep going for much longer!!!

  5. His leadership is currently 20. He is unhappy at the moment though, he wants to return to England.

    I guess that's another reason not to do it this way with regens, can't change their place of birth, someone else who's never played in England wants to return there as well.

    Maybe he thinks that there is unfinished business in England after how poorly he was treated at Everton. Plus he's pretty much won everything in Italy now. :lol:

  6. Is anyone else thinking that as the players get older, they are more likely to fall down the league pyramid? As in at 32 years old, they won't be playing for their respective team for much longer and that we could see some more relegations? I'm hoping not for Hatton though!! Seeing as players in Italy seem to play for their respective teams until 40!!!!
