Many thanks @BatiGoal @Paul186 @Ian and @smoggy90 - getting excited as we approach the end now!

Season Twenty Eight

First things first, our last World Cup of the career - hooray bloody Germany...

We had a fun season... I started scouting in the summer and then was informed I had a 35k transfer budget. So I made some smooth moves - and a week later, the game came back and said I had a 3.5m budget!

I brought in some loanees, including two of my old young talents from Latina, a keeper and centre-back. And I grabbed a centre-mid from Holland who swiftly became awesome.

The early gains came in the cup:

So after three away wins to top-flight teams, I got...

...my old friends!

We took them to extra time, before a young AP I'd bought got the crucial goals for the home team:

As for the league, we bumbled along, with Letizia doing alright enough:

I was happy with this one after the early red card!

I took this screenshot at the halfway point:

So scoring wasn't a problem but the defence was a bit leaky. I had a good look but really quite liked my squad - I decided to change to using my Latina loanee keeper despite his youth as he had high potential, and I upgraded my AP, signing a lad who I'd bought but barely played at Latina, too much competition for him there. He bagged me some crucial goals this time...

Anyway, little did I realise that I was three wins into what would become an eleven-game winning streak!

I took that shot because once I noticed, it inevitably ended swiftly (after one more win). But then we won six more, including these two - one where I FMM'ed FMM :)

And then this which was just bananas:

I beat them 5-0 in the home game too, poor sods.

So as you can guess, winning 18 of 19 does tend to lead to good things:

I beat Brescia to not only secure promotion but also the title with three games to go :)

Defence sorted, attack still potent. Imagine Atalanta without the 0-12 I stuck on them :D

My strikeforce did superbly:

Me as a 76-year-old:

I think I've been quite fair with Italians in this save, but I suppose I don't show any "bias" cos they can come from Timbuktu for all I care, as long as they can play!

And yeah my designated striker, he added a few cup goals for a decent return:

So I'm looking for a club 55 miles away from Casertana now as I enter my penultimate season!

Here's how he looks btw - not bad, should be usable in Serie A if needs be...

NEXT TIME - another crack at Serie A? Or can we find a new home before the final lap...

Cheers @Paul186 - move I did, but not very far!

This virus stuff is simply awful, we've all lost our real-life football (and many other things) to distract us from the mundanity of real life. It's barely a silver lining but at least FMM is still here and there'll be a little more time to crank out seasons - this is the penultimate season of this career, and I have THREE more ideas that I'm excited to get working on, so hopefully we can find a little fun together over the coming weeks, at least...

Season Twenty Nine

We had to resist some overtures for our main man:

There were nerves ahead of the club's first ever Serie A season, and an early trip to Torino evoked bad memories as they'd crushed me 5-0 in my first Serie A game with Latina...

This one went a bit better :)

A good start saw our winger Juicy pick up the Player of the Month award:

Letizia was doing well, but an injury set him back:

He still got recognition for his October performances, getting on the podium behind another winger I'd picked up:

But that's where we have to leave Alfredo - he had 64 miles in the bank:

But we only needed 45 of them:

To get to the beautiful Stadio Arechi:

Home of, you guessed it... Salernitana. Who, as you can see, are celebrating their centenary in the real world this season, complete with a special snazzy badge:

Based in the ancient city of Salerno at the beginning of the Amalfi coast, the club have pottered around the Italian leagues, twice briefly getting into the top flight (once in the 40's and once inspired by a young Gattuso in the late 90's) - but they went bankrupt twice in the last 20 years, taking the traditional Italian route of dissolving and reforming.

They've worked their way back up to Serie B in real life, but they've been Serie A mainstays during my career.

However, it was a "step down" for me, joining a team scrapping to stay in the top flight:

There was a reunion waiting for me, as I said hello to a lad who I'd sold THIRTEEN years previously:

Alas, he was just a backup for me now really. Should've made a bit more of yourself, mate...

No wonder they were struggling - they had no coaches!

And they didn't even have a real keeper when I arrived!! I had to dive and pick up a semi-competent free agent.

They did at least have a tidy-looking striker:

Although he had failed to get on the mark so far this season... I remembered the screenshot!!

I soon helped him find his form:

But we ended the season ahead of my former club, which was the main thing:

Many thanks @BatiGoal @smoggy90 and @Paul186 - your support has been highly appreciated, it wouldn't be the same without you guys :)

So here we are...

Season Thirty

I'll do this as a stand-alone post for this year, and then follow up later with an overall summary of the career...

I'd have moved as far as possible, but (with my limited knowledge of Italian geography) it seemed my only reachable option was in Serie D, so i was stuck in Salerno.

Fortunately I was given a bit of a transfer budget to tool up for a title bid in my final season. I sold a few but spent around net 80-90m, with the biggest purchases being a half-decent Romanian keeper (best I could get), and a striker in Maggiore who turned out to be a total waste of money - he soon lost his confidence, and never regained it in the reserves. Fortunately I had plenty of other options...

110351603_Screenshot_20200314-202254_FM20Mobile.thumb.jpg.11388c7ce0cb29ea6075d4e6f8f42bcb.jpg20200314_213411.thumb.jpg.e0c082b5e5fb40b3fb29efe18c0f51e7.jpg

Otherwise Carterton (ST) and Rossi (DMC) were former Latina players who I could re-unite with, and Daf (AML) was a young talent I'd picked up there who was starting to blossom. My other loanees from big clubs proved useful, and the squad was building nicely...

However, the cup came too early, so we decided not to participate any further:

1666229525_Screenshot_20200313-184923_FM20Mobile.thumb.jpg.f0f02d67af3b501e33fad3bfa162360d.jpg

Costi grabbed an early hat-trick:

1902927486_Screenshot_20200313-203614_FM20Mobile.thumb.jpg.04751229a00ef0587175189588073eea.jpg

And his good form earned him recognition, along with my right-winger and new right-back:

2111603042_Screenshot_20200314-104743_FM20Mobile.thumb.jpg.1454369e0d154fa86482359b6063ac4d.jpg

Berto Bello ended up getting the player of the calendar year award, with Costi on the podium:

396551734_Screenshot_20200314-131516_FM20Mobile.thumb.jpg.5faf7e1508d35de9bf9d66fc8efed08f.jpg

And of course, another award for the main man:

661325252_Screenshot_20200314-131528_FM20Mobile.thumb.jpg.ee11a2cb6dc847a5960b4e5c2aca029e.jpg

At the halfway point, we had only lost once and had a healthy lead at the top:

1604591165_Screenshot_20200314-132320_FM20Mobile.thumb.jpg.18529f49af8c29ac4055320a926c00d7.jpg

And we were really rolling:

1277475846_Screenshot_20200314-133514_FM20Mobile.thumb.jpg.a4c35878c9addf3a811af5ea2f031554.jpg

Five 10's in a row for Costi on his way to Player of the Month honours:

431781708_Screenshot_20200314-135754_FM20Mobile.thumb.jpg.dc9694e0b9e88095c52594a88b856626.jpg

Unfortunately, winger Mandelli had his head turned by all this - I didn't see any point selling him (even though we were well-stocked for wingers), but then he started sulking and playing shit, so I stuck him in the reserves.

Costi still wanted a big move too (I promised him I'd consider it at the end of the season) - he had some rough moments, but fortunately not too many:

1845399426_Screenshot_20200314-165830_FM20Mobile.thumb.jpg.94c836b59e8f813b8376e6c0842deb95.jpg

However, the game seemed intent on sabotaging my title charge - particularly memorable was injuring three of my centre-mids on the day before a big match, but we had an insane run that would've induced rage-quit among weaker men. Playing Juventus without half my first-choice team, including both full-backs having got suspended, was a special highlight - we lost as they won 11 games in a row at one point :(

But young striker Vangioni stepped up while Carterton was out...

26434513_Screenshot_20200314-184848_FM20Mobile.thumb.jpg.5f543468d7896080ccf4431e351a335b.jpg

And this disappointing late loss was mitigated by my old mates grabbing a huge win, even though they'd already been relegated the week before:

1295191316_Screenshot_20200314-190219_FM20Mobile.thumb.jpg.a5325dba948ad927cb89a4c6482e68a2.jpg

That left us in this position, with three games left:

773400898_Screenshot_20200314-190230_FM20Mobile.thumb.jpg.ffc3b8d5a94891dd90e202b98b774721.jpg

My second-last game of the career, poignantly, took place at the ground where it all started :)

812161848_Screenshot_20200314-191525_FM20Mobile.thumb.jpg.a4f47841b290719ace598d73866cfb43.jpg

And with Juve stumbling, that put me 3pts clear with one game to go. Only a defeat for me plus a Juve win in the Turin derby would break our hearts... (as they had beaten me in the head-to-head)

1823455164_Screenshot_20200314-192224_FM20Mobile.thumb.jpg.be80f535837dda8323555b9b3642c178.jpg

It got a little nervous there when Cagliari equalised!! But comfortable in the end, especially as Juve drew anyway :)

Only 8 of them are pleased?! Little sods...

One last monthly award for the main man:

772800566_Screenshot_20200314-204802_FM20Mobile.thumb.jpg.eefaebfddcc5def4756652ce04b709ce.jpg

And a clean sweep of the player of the season - Mandelli doing well considering he didn't play the last 10 games!

1785575596_Screenshot_20200314-202340_FM20Mobile.thumb.jpg.0b480df4a52d8c31bc9b37199c690301.jpg

And Costi smashed the top scorer award:

He looked like this by the end:

So yeah @BatiGoal, I think you can just add up the right-hand column to get the total... 610 miles made overall, I reckon?

I got a bit screwed by

 - going too far "south" and not "east" enough soon enough, with the move to Tuttocuoio a particular mistake (but hey, it was fun)

 - Siena sacking me, not giving me chance to make an "efficient" move from there

 - my Roma striker being a cockbag, setting me even further back (behind schedule)

So the trophy cabinet isn't as gaudy as I'd like - no Serie C/A, and only two Italian Cups?!

But I'd say it's salvaged by the Champions League win for Siena plus the Club World Championship for Latina :)

Also, I went through Serie B four times out of five, only "failing" due to leaving Carpi mid-season...

My "all-time best XI" - these are horribly broken, with for example FOUR members of my final season team in there. But I liked that my first and last striker are up top together :)

Here's how the clubs I was at progressed after I left (with my time at each highlighted):

I think that covers it all, but let me know if there's anything else you'd like to see (I only had Italy loaded, so I can't tell you who won the prem or anything...)

It was great fun, but I'm ready to leave Italy behind now! Thanks for reading :)

Great career and read as ever, how many more miles did you need to reach the last club?

if i do my map app from Salernitana's ground to Sicula Leonzio's, it says 293 miles, and that's even with cheating (taking a ferry to cut the corner!) - so a fair way short :D

I have been guilty of dipping in and out if this career but with 30 years completed and some great achievements

I always think it would be a nice feature if we could actually pick our all time best XI instead of the game doing it (badly).

@Kanegan @BatiGoal @Ian @omen_peter- many thanks for the kind words, highly appreciated!

@samhardy - my gran had a cottage in Whitby, so let's settle for that golden North Yorkshire coast, rather than beautiful Italia (i need a break!)

@Foxy - i like that idea, nominating your own heroes - good shout, that.

@Cockers2505 - not at all mate, i wouldn't do it if i didn't enjoy it on my own terms, especially having put myself through it last year too. but it's been cracking fun. that said, yes, certainly looking forward to having a slightly different focus (although my next "mini-challenge" is a goal-scoring one too, oops!)

An enjoyable read there, Mr Tree.

Not a challenge I would ever have enough time for, even with the current situation where we are all stuck indoors.

:D thanks! I probably shouldn't have time for it, but when there's a will there's a way ;)
