All of the Italian leagues are sorted by head to head as opposed to goal difference Mojo :)
 
The first intake for the club and we have turned up a few good players and one absolute gem!
View attachment 358879

Fabio Vailati
italian yes, but I have no doubts at all that given enough time he will be better than our current crop of strikers.
View attachment 358880

Federico Mancini
A very potential of introducing inside forwards into the team at a later date.
View attachment 358881

Silvio Ferrett
Maybe a new number 1 for us if he meets his potential.
View attachment 358882

Claudio Ceccoli
Finishing of 4 for a striker isn't good enough, His physical and mental stats are good for his age, Hopefully his technical stats can catch up..
View attachment 358883

Silvio Andrea Lacetera
YAY! I honestly didn't expect anything this good this soon, He may even find himself starting next season because god knows we have no one else that good!

Loving this story mate. Have managed to read it from the start to where you are now over the last couple of days. Unbelievable story so far. Good luck on your new quest.

After 10 games we are flying, I honestly didn't expect to play quiote so well with such bad players! Just the single loss and i'm very happy.
View attachment 358761

We are second I presume on head to head, As our goal difference is far better since our defence has been rock solid all season.

Coppa Italia di Lega Pro has produced a pair of 1-1 draws, nothing to exciting but it is what it is.
View attachment 358765View attachment 358766

Sadly this wasn't enough to see us through, So despite being undefeated we went out of the Coppa Italia di Lega Pro.

Its agent offers, constantly coming in despite me selecting to never receive them! If anyone knows anything about that i'd appreciate help!
 
View attachment 358889

I've lumped the last 14 games together, no point in doing a 4 game update! 3 losses and 3 draws in this period, But did it matter?
View attachment 358890

Not one bit, we top the league by a very solid 6 points. i'm very surprised we managed this with the squad we have.

We now just have the matter of playing the winners of our sister division.
View attachment 358893

Sadly against Mantova it wasn't to be losing 3-0 then our 2-1 win being redered useless by the earlier 3-0 loss.
View attachment 358901View attachment 358902

Regardless we are promoted and we need to prepare for next season big time!

NT update next.

This more about damage limitation for the time being, I'll go through the games in the order they happend. But first this is how I intend us to line up.

WORLD CUP QUALIFIERS

Israel should of been an absolute beating, So bad as it may sound holding them to just 1-0 was a great result!
View attachment 358904

However 8-0 against Slovakia undid what i stupidly believed was good work!
View attachment 358905

3-0 against this Belgium side isn't all bad, At least it wasn't 8!
View attachment 358906

I helped bring through a big chunk of this Portugal side, So this is akin to punching myself in the face 6 times!
View attachment 358907

That finished off world cup qualifying, the table does not make good reading for San Marino....
View attachment 358908

FRIENDLIES

Against Latvia we finally scored our first goal under my management, sadly Latvia scored 5.
View attachment 358909

We can't even beat Moldova.....
View attachment 358910

I'm actually ashamed of this one....5-0 against Albania......

Here are our results in full.

How do you make your tactics? They're always so effective.
 
I was expecting for you to stay in Mafra for at least 1 more season, but what a ****, this is a big challenge!

So, Portugal ranked 2nd as a league! Great. Porto and Mafra are top European clubs, or there's any other that good? For example the team that you had to cheat more times to win?? ;) And the NT, did it won any thing else?

Good luck or this new challenge!
 
Can you do an update showing how all your previous teams have got on? Would be interesting to see.
 
sorry but I just have to laugh at the fact you lost a friendly to San Giovanni, especially if they are still amateur, although I kind of doubt there would be any amateur clubs left in the game at that point.

apart from that though you've had a brilliant first season at the club and Lacetera looks amazing, the National Team will probably be a long old slog for the first few seasons but at least you've got a new star player for them.

Usually designed to explot the rest of the league i'm in, more often than not they all play a very similar way.

Mafra are on a downward spiral now, they came second the season after I left and sold alot of there good players. Benfica were never that good ;). Portugal also won the Euros.

Might be a little bit hard now I'm a different manager. Maybe something for when I reach 100 pages ;)

They are actually fully professional now! but losing to them wasn't on.

Lacetera is already generating massive interest, I can't see us hanging onto him long....
 
View attachment 359004

I've spalashed a bit of cash this year, And I do mean a bit! i have stuck to San MArino internationals as I already know there qualities(or lack of).
View attachment 359005

Pietro Conti
A forced signing due to retirements, But he isn't half bad. Good enough for this level remains to be seen.
View attachment 359006

Denis De Angelis
Much the same as Conti just younger.
View attachment 359009

José Caniggia
Hopefully has a bit of potential, His physical stats are more or less right its just everything else that's lacking....
View attachment 359010

Alessio Matteoni
A passable left back, he won't be making anyone jealous anytime soon.
View attachment 359011

Marco Terenzi
Yet another defender, I bought him because I originally planned to play 5 at the back. Now I have abandoned that he may be used as back up depending how he shapes.
View attachment 359012

God knows how we will get on in this league, It actually isn't the huge jump I thought it would be. You just never know!​
 
View attachment 359016

Well that went alot better than I imagined it would!
View attachment 359014

We are currently 1st! I don't expect it to last as we have come very close to the brink at times, but for now i'm just soaking it up.

As you can see above we exited the Italian cup on penalties against Serie B Ascoli, Here are our two results from that conpetition.
View attachment 359018View attachment 359019


View attachment 359028

We are however still in the Coppa Italia di Lega Pro. Here are our results so far.
View attachment 359021View attachment 359022View attachment 359023

This leaves us top of our group after 1 game. I'm have designs on winning this contest. Afterall why not?
View attachment 359024​
 
View attachment 359038
6 wins in the league and though it may not look it on the surface, We actually played really well.
View attachment 359039

We have finished the season 2nd, An amazing achievement given the restrictions we have imposed.
View attachment 359040

We have drawn Podova in the play offs, We beat them 5-2 in the very last game of the season a good omen in my books.
View attachment 359041

A 4-1 loss followed by a 3-2 win means we go out of the play offs at the semi final stage. Gutted.
View attachment 359042View attachment 359043

View attachment 359045

We still got a player in the team of the year.
View attachment 359044

View attachment 359046

We sqeezed by Spezia Over turning the original 2-1 defeat with our own 2-0 victory.
View attachment 359047View attachment 359048

Podova ruined everything for us this season including this cup final!
View attachment 359049View attachment 359050

View attachment 359051

Just one last thing this season, Our youth intake. So bad it doesn't even deserve it's own post! All players were **** in short.
View attachment 359052​
 
View attachment 359063

We haven't won a single game during this period so i'll save you the suspense!

FRIENDLIES

We couldn't even beat Andorra, i've barley started and this getting depressing!

EURO QUALIFIERS

Again not a singlw win although losing just 1-0 to Switzerland was quite a good result. Italy tonking us 11-0 was very very very bad.......

Bottom of the group shockingly!

I done this in FM12. Dont get disheartened by the NT, they're *****.

You need to focus on the Club side of things, get them to the top and remember your facilities, they are vital, especially trying to bring through SM youth. Once SM start to pick up, which is usually when you are in Serie A, you might see a few SM players pop up in other teams, especially those with a SM feeder club. I ended up getting a peach of a keeper who came through at Real, who I think have/had an affiliation with Tre Flori.
