#180203 Gloria al Sammarinese...and myself

San Marino
2017 – San Marino
2017 Matches
2017 Best Eleven
Not a bad year all in all. My club players are all progressing and showing themselves in the San Marino Best Eleven and on the international stage in general. 2 friendly wins and another competitive point is definitely a solid showing for the mighty Sammarinese! Again, we also are showing decent touch in front of the net as well, which is pleasing to my SanMarino-Blue American eyes
Overall Best Eleven until this point
Good to see some of my youngsters in the famed halls of the Sammarinese Best Eleven ever [since 2013].

Aprilia
September & October 2017 – Aprilia
Lega Pro Prima Divisione Girone C & Copa Italia Lega Pro
A 3-1-2 September spooked me tad, as it was the same sort of inconsistencies that really cost us last year. However it was a pleasing sight to see we had no problem finding the back of the net! The 6-4 win over Salerintana at the end of September was exciting and gave me hope going into the autumn season that brought us so much misery last year
Ahhhhhhh.
Snagged a young Pole on a free to continue to give me youthful growth in the midfield.
Many shining

Aprilia
Time for my 2nd full season with Aprilia. I know a little bit more about my team and vice versa. A huge staff overhaul took place that I feel will benefit la squadra moving forward, as well as the obligatory purge of the over-earners, but I had a more solid tactical as well as personnel foundation.
Pre season 2017 & Copa Italia Lega Pro – Aprilia
Pre season
As with last season, and usually how I do all pre-seasons, I let my ass man handle it. Again, didn't really care as long as we got into match fitness and my SM boys were training well. We also played two cup games, and the inconsistency of my team reared it's ugly head again....
Transfers
Guidi (19 y.o. D/MC)
Terenzi (18 y.o. M/AMRC)
Venerucci (18 y.o. MC)
a couple of non-regens
Palazzi (30 y.o. DLC)
Setffanelli (24 y.o. ST)
Was very pleased with the intake of a few Sammarinese youngsters and also a couple of vets! Palazzi is notorious for being the best Sammarinese footballer whenever you start a new game in any FM since 2012. Vandenbroek is a Belgian who can cover both fullback positions since I let D'Elia go, who happened to be the new record appearances holder in the team as of our previous season, in the much smaller over-earners purge. Also, Marfisi destroyed the previous record transfer fee brought in, and helped us as we had/have been struggling with money issues since I took over. Isoufi is a solid lower level attacking mid/striker who is a Dutch-Afghani (which I think is neat and always like to have something like this in all my games). Sala and Epaillard are two center midfielders that can shore up this position following the departure of Marfisi and the loan completion of Jakovlevs. And of course, despite Florian being a lower level god, another striker caught my eye, and I jumped at the chance to get name you all might actually recognize, the poor man's Inzaghi....Graziano Pellè!
Like I said, a nearly complete overhaul of staff. New Ass man, an entire new first team coaching staff. New Head Physio, Head of Youth Dev, Scouting department, KABLAM! I need the right men around me to lead F.C. Aprilia to the lofty peaks of the divisiones de Italia.

Appreciate man! Thanks! Ha, I think I've seen some people win the 2022 World Cup with them in past FM installments but I was always skeptical. Hoping for that competative win to come soon
Thanks!

Aprilia
December 2016 through April 2017 – Aprilia
Lega Pro Prima Divisione Girone C
January Transfers:
Nothing. Released 3 reserves for a mutual termination fee of $5K each; all were moaning about loans and playing time etc.,etc.
A pretty solid December led us into 2017 still displaying our inconsistency, but having the positive performances outweigh the negative ones.
A pretty poor January saw us pick up a possible 4 points out of 12. The only positive light is the fact that Florian cannot stop scoring!
A 1-2-1 February saw the continuation of the physical (or simulatory). manifestation of pure, undeniable inconsistency continue to plague my team from the province of Lazio.
3 wins for 3 in March gave me hope that we just might finish out this season on a tear! Everyone getting in on the scoring action!
A fitting 1-0-5 final month of April for us. Awful run in, as apparently we were starting to display our inconsistency per month as opposed every game.
My season reaction...meh. Inconsistent as hell but 12th out of 20 isn't really too far off where we deserved.
Damien Florian was the Top goalscorer of the league finishing with 22 league goals, so he gets
2016/2017 Aprilia Best Eleven
De Bellis is a great lower league keeper, half-Canadian/half-Italian. My Sammarinese boys Gobbi and Mularoni performing, and Florian & Marfisi proving my earlier notion correct of them being my interpretation of "world-beaters"

Aprilia
August 2016 through November 2016 – Aprilia
Lega Pro Prima Divisione Girone C & Copa Italia Lega Pro
Started our season off in the Cup and advanced in the group with two performances of varying quality. Good to see my boy Gobbi in amongst the goals!
The league in August was the same as the cup, two vastly different games of different quality performances and thus, different quality results.
A 2-2-2 September started to really give me an idea of the impact of my vast personnel turnover, inconsistency and lack of chemistry in full effect. One of the losses saw us go crashing out of the cup to a Lecce team, who have fallen in Leeds-like proportions, after going ahead 2-0 only to end the game 2-3. At least Marfisi and Florian starting to solidify themselves as the standouts in my 2016/17 Aprilia team.
A 1-2-3 October with two scoreless games.
A 3-0-3 November was better than the previous month, but left us entering the final month of the year still as inconsistent as ever.
A shining

Aprilia
I was appointed on June 3rd of 2016. The team coming off a 16th place finish, just 2 places above the drop into Italian lower league oblivion. I came in initially to just keep the club afloat, getting decent enough results to maintain my job, while bringing in a ton of my boys from San Marino and just train the shit out of them and play/start them regardless of whether or not they are the best option, in the best vain of form, or even half a star of current ability. This may change in the future....
Pre season 2016 – Aprilia

Let my ass man handle it, didn't really care as long as we got into match fitness and my SM boys were training well.
Transfers
Ugolini (17 y.o. CB)
Peluso (18 y.o. AMRL/ST)
Valli (18 y.o. D/WB/MR)
Gobbi (17 y.o. CB)
Mularoni (18 y.o. DL)
and the only non-regen
Battistini (21 y.o. A/ML)
Was very pleased with the intake of multiple Sammarinese youngsters, all of whom already had at least 1(Some 10+) caps on my national team despite their tender ages; Gobbi had been capped since he was 15 for example. Many of those I released were the top earners. One of which was Lisi, who had been the previous year's player of the season and happened to be the record appearance holder for the club with well over 100, but whatever, I knew at this level there were literally thousands of players with comparable stats that I could pay 10% of his wages, so I bounced him and multiple others like him.

Wow.......awful. Not a point, barely a ripple of the net, for us that is....this is where I felt the FM-game debilitating annoyance of managing a shit team..but I pushed forward as 2016 was also the year of my appointment of Aprilia in the Lega Pro Prima Divisione Girone C. This was an opportunity to sign some of my Sammarinese youngsters, maybe a vet or two, and get them trained and ready to win the World Cup in the next century as staff.

Not as good of a year as 2014, but still some positives to be had. Another competitive point, more goals. The aforementioned coupled with some good performances against England and Israel and I suppose I'm content. Despite this, I felt I needed to somehow make my way into the club world, so as to snap up some of my more solid Sammarinese youngsters/players and train them up to the pedestals of Rome! So I started the Hunt For Red....for a club...

Ahh the frustration begins. To be fair I have been going for it as opposed to sitting back. I figured I would lose anyway, and losing by 10 while going for it like the great Sammarinese people want is far more noble than sitting back and losing by 6 like our surrounding neighbors of the Apennine Peninsula. Clearly we've got some work ahead of us.

Really loving this story, and loving being back in the Susie community in a legit way! When was the transfer over, 2010? Because I seem to have lost all my forum posts since whenever the transfer over was and haven't really been FM-ing too much until the recent months.
Also...Ian....6'11" Rook! HA!
