That's what I call a great way to start a season, especially because of the derby win which has surely given a morale boost. Congrats!
By the way, out of curiosity... How did you manage to get Torres in the game?
Does it feature some Serie C teams (maybe hidden?) for promotion/relegation purposes (and that would be definitely cool) or did you make promotions up yourself?
If it's the second case... Very nice addition! And, speaking among friends... Any chance to see Pro Sesto promoted next?😛

Thanks mate. Yeah the derby win was awesome, especially since it wasn't an easy one and was only won in the last minute. So that was probably one for the fans to remember.
In regards to the promoted Serie C teams: You guessed it. I made that up, took the current real life league leaders from Serie C and had them take the place of the relegated Serie B sides from last season in the story. No, they don't exist in FC24, so the clubs are the same IN GAME, but have been replaced by these promoted teams in the story. I did it a few years ago in the Danish league, but it became rather dull in seasons 5 or 6, when I kept getting new promoted teams up and had to remember, which of the teams were "avatars" for which promoted clubs. Now that I expect to get promoted to Serie A for next season, this "fantasy promotion" is expected to be a one-time thing for this save, so sorry... I'm afraid I can't help you with Pro Sesto 😃
I hadn't noticed that regarding the inclusion of promoted teams from Serie C it's a nice little touch for attention to detail when there is no division below.
Great start for Sampdoria and nice display from Webster also getting a hat trick or assists in his first start. Looking to be a promising season all round and undefeated in opening 6 is added bonus
- @thurlow885 Thanks mate, yeah my protagonist is doing all right. He's still only on 61 OVR, so I do play him a little more than his rating justifies. But if he keeps performing, then why not? And I also need him to get this amount of games, if the dynamic potential is as overpowered as it was in FIFA23. And I get the feeling that it is.
The great start just keeps getting better all-round for club and our young Narrator here. 5 consecutive clean sheets is a great achievement (don't do what I did after I achieved it and concede 6 in 2 games 🤣)
Another youngster getting in on the action too, all-round looking very promising for Sampdoria and despite how early we are in the season they are definitely early contenders for promotion

Thanks, yeah I must be careful not to take anything for granted now. Conceding 6 in 2 games would certainly be a disappointment.
Young David Martin is doing well, yes, one of two talents, who were already in the academy, when I started. The other YOUNG player (a South Korean named Young, actually) is away on loan, hopefully progressing better than he would, if he'd stayed here in a sporadic role. We'll see if he can come back to play a part later on.
Much like @thurlow885 - a near miss in season 1, a great start to season 2. Season 3 will be in Serie A, for sure!
Second season's going well I see.
Happy to see Charlie get some more play time, in my opinion there's no need to worry if he gets rotated often. Still an entire life in front of him to show his talent.
As for Pro Sesto, I obviously understand... I've been playing an Eredivisie career in FIFA 14 for some time now and I didn't think about teams being poromoted to an upper level as Eredivisie just doesn't have any other tier ingame. My fault!

Yes, much alike! I believe we have the same preference for the slower climb, so it isn't surprising either. Serie A is very likely the destination in Season 3, if not it would be a surprise - and a bit of a disappointment too...

Hehe, no fault at all. It's also something I've only done once before, and it needs to go with a story, if it's even going to make sense doing it. FIFA14, eh? I remember that game, crazy to think it's been a decade since its release.
Yeah, it's been 10 years. And that game still holds on pretty well if you ask me.
It may not have all the bells and whistles that the current gen games have (especially on PC, which now is two generations behind), but...
Still solid, enjoyable and one of my favourite titles overall (it's the only game that I have for PS3, Xbox One and PC).
