Flashback to 1993 and England (@hayvis) traveled to the sleepy hamlet of Serravalle in San Marino and just eight seconds into the match this happens
England would go to win the match 7-1 but this moment stands out as the high point of Sammarinese football. I intend to change that. I simulated the 2018-19 season and brought San Marino FC up into the Italian Serie C (the lowest playable division of Italian football). From there, I took over and trying to see how far I can take San Marino with players just from my youth academy and see if one of those academy products can break the all-time goal record of eight (8) goals held by Andy Selva who scored those goals over seventy-four (74) appearances.
Season 1 (2019-20 Serie C/B)
A 13th place finish and we leaked a lot of goals (60) and scored just 29.
Season 2 (2020-21 Serie C/B)
Up one place to 13th. Scored just four more goals but still a poor total of 33 in 38 matches. Allowed sixteen fewer for a much more respectable 44 goals in total.
Season 3 (2021-22 Serie C/B)
A solid season. Strong defensively allowing only 32 goals and scoring 57 goals. Caught fire in the slog of the Italian Serie C playoffs and earned a surprise promotion.
Season 4 (2022-23 Serie B)
A big jump in class from Serie C into Serie B. Back to our season one form where we leaked a lot of goals and didn't score very many. Still did enough to earn a 14th place finish.
Season 5 (2023-24 Serie B)
Treaded water for much of the season and did just enough, again, to avoid promotion.
Current Roster
Finances
We bleed money every season. Our current top players are thought highly enough to sell for any amount of money. That should change as Favret wants to leave for a bigger club (none are interested at the moment but he's now under contract through '27) and Moretti has drawn interest from Young Boys and Basel. I expect one or both of them to be sold in the 2024 summer transfer window. They should bring some balance to the books.
