You removed the requirement to have sammarinese players in your starting lineup. That's the hard part of the challenge. You just have an italian team...

Tom, I am worried about your mental health by taking on this challenge. (Mission Impossible music playing softly in the background)

[@MrMultichris234]

In your Conference League League Phase, one of your opponents was Polish side Legia Warsaw. Which is a good excuse to once again suggest Wisła Kraków as a team for potential rebuild video. Just won Polish Cup out of second league but they are still struggling to get back to Ekstraklasa let alone to go back to their former glory. Challenge would be to win a European Trophy as no polish club ever did (Apart from Intertoto Cup but who counts those xD)

[@SedusToroaz]

hey keep up the good work man love the vids!

[@Robi2009]

1:15 - LOL! The manager of that Lithuanian team is a former manager of my local club in Poland XD Edit: 20:05 - and that Kazakh player lying down also played for my club xD

[@nickkowak9628]

Saint Etienne? I haven’t heard that name in years.

I love that you acknowledge the St. Ettienne signing, please do continue it! At your own leisure of course!

[@mightyshishkebab2010]

ASSE when tom.

[@MasterTramsYouTube]

5:07 For reference, I believe the board will only look domestically until you reach a certain reputation. So by definition, there are no better teams than you in San Marino, and it won't look in Italy until you are more reputable. I think it's something like 3 stars at which that change happens...

[@thelastgreataudit8112]

Surprised you didn't use the San Marinese team that plays in the Italian system. Would been hard enough.

[@g-stergaming4502]

This is a guy who had never heard of batistuta, 100% does not know of them unless reads your comment lol

[@Nasiulciaa]

playing as that team only makes sense if you want to develop the national team, otherwise it's no different than winning european competitions as an italian team which is not something that sounds like an interesting challenge

7:19 SAINT ETIENNE

[@tijngm9443]

Great video Tom!

[@Scy]

I think Gibraltar is harder to do, because of the nationality rules. Also I think it's a much shorter domestic season, making it hard to keep form for europe all year.

[@declangaming24]

Not really you can sign at least 2 big foreign players with Lincoln red imps

[@Scy]

@@declangaming24 that does not disprove my point. You're still stuck with at least 9 gibraltarians on the pitch

[@declangaming24]

@@Scy they will improve I made the UECL in season 2 I made the UCL 2nd qualifying round, europa League playoff round I was so close to getting us in europa league.

0:34 if you wanted a real challenge you should have chosen Pennarossa, who finish last with 8 points, 2 wins, 2 draws, 26 defeats, 18 goals scored, 96 goals received, -78 goal difference.

[@tyranttracergaming]

I love this style of editting tom

[@Goombasareawesome]

BetterHelp are scummy btw

[@syteanric]

Always remember on an older version of FM I managed San Marino national team, we lost every game bar 1, vs Poland! Our keeper saves an 85th minute Lewandowski penalty, I genuinely celebrated like we'd won the world cup! It's making me smile thinking back even now! We drew 0 0

[@declangaming24]

I remember winning the world Cup with San Marino on 2014 Brazil our qualifying phase was tough we drawed our first 6 matches in group E against England, Wales, Italy, Malta and faroe islands so we have 6 points sat bottom of the group we won our final 4 qualifiers so we just made it in 2nd place. In our world Cup draw we played South Africa, Japan and Republic of Ireland we finished 2nd in that group and then we faced some tough teams Spain, Brazil, Germany and then Netherlands in the final on pens.

SAN MARINO CHALLENGE IS THE BEST, THANK YOU TOM!😊

[@runeercool1]

Tom, the reason your tactic isent scoring the way you thought it would, is that you need early crosses, so you get the TF to get the ball around the edge of the area. Then he will knock it down

[@unidentifieduser9210]

I had a save with your rivals Fiorentino, got them into the europa league and to the semi finals of the conference league. Very difficult and took me a while as i’m not the best player 😅

Sadly, that database is wrong about Sammarinese league. 1st in the league wins the league but the 2nd and 3rd don't play the Europa Conference League, they play a big play-off from 2nd to 11th and the winner will qualify to the Europa Conference League.
