Team History

Season 28

Pudduteam played the last 4 matches in X.704. After a tie and a defeat against the second team in the table, they won the last two matches, managing to get 7 points in 4 matches. They finished the championship in 7th place because of the previous ownership: in week 10 they had got only 1 point. However they got the promotion, due to the reorganization of the italian low series.

Season 29

The following season, Pudduteam played in IX.704: after a large amount of transfers and structural changing, they played a great season. The third week, they were already second. After eleven matches the had got 31 points, with only one tie against A.C. Quartieri Spagnoli, the first team because of a larger goal difference. The twelfth week they played the big match against real feltre85, the third team, with 27 points, the largest goal difference and in a great shape, after a disappointing start of the season: they tied 2-2 in the Pudduteam arena. The following week there was the match against Quartieri, in their home: because of the great effort in the previous match, Pudduteam was defeated 4-0, and real feltre approached at only 1 point of difference. The last week however, Pudduteam won against the last team 8-0, while real defeated Quartieri 6-1, probably because Quartieri played Match of the Season the previous week.

Pudduteam finished its first whole season with the amazing score of 35 points and +43 of goal difference, thanks to an outstanding defence, which took only 9 goals in the whole season: a record for Pudduteam. The statistics said that Pudduteam had the highest AH-Points (maximum of 121 and an average of 110.9) and LoddarStats almost every week, as well as the highest number of stars: best defence and midfield of the season. The dream team of the league of that season included 5 players of Pudduteam (2 inner midfielders, with 4 stars, 2 wingers, with 3 stars and a defender, with 3 stars). At the end of the season, Pudduteam was promoted to VIII.1239.

Season 30

The 30th season was probably the most unexpected for the club; Pudduteam changed very few player: the main improvements were for the forward sector of the team with two new players, Illimar Lagejärv and Giampaolo Cambareri, two expert players; moreover Pudduteam hired a new trainer, the solid cypriot Naşit Özgeer. Being an even league, only the first place allows for a promotion in VII, then Pudduteam expected an hard championship and the main target was to avoid relegation and conquering at least the fourth place, in order to get the economic award. However, after two weeks, Pudduteam was already at the first place. At the fifth week they were still first in the league, but the hardest matches were between sixth and nineth week: in those four weeks Pudduteam had to play with the two strongest team of the league. The manager, MrPuddu, decided to improve further on the team, with a new defender, and use all the possible tricks to win those matches, for example training general, instead of the usual playmaking, and use mots and pic in a strategic way. In week six, they tied 3-3 with F.C. Cassonetti Rovesciati, in their home but in week seven they lost against Bardonecchia 0-4 at home, falling in third place. The following week Pudduteam got its revenge, winning 1-3 at Bardonecchia's home and in week nine they defeated Cassonetti 5-1 at home, going in second place, 2 points after DireWolf which in the meantime took its chance from those week where all the other best teams were playing against each other. In week ten, DireWolf tied against Cassonetti, and Pudduteam was still second, only because of the goal difference (+33 against +23). The situation did not change up to week twelve, when DireWolf lost against Bardonecchia: Pudduteam conquered the first position, with one points of advantage against Bardonecchia. In week thirteen Bardonecchia tied against A.C. Chittare, the fifth team, probably because of the effort of the previous week; Pudduteam took advantage of this, raising its advantage up to 3 points. The last week Bardonecchia lost against Cassonetti, and Pudduteam finished its championship in first place at 37 points, with six points of advantage over Bardonecchia and DireWolf: in the whole championship the fresher Pudduteam tied only one match and lost only one match, winning all the other twelve matches; they scored 59 goals: the highest number of goals of Pudduteam's history.

However the statistics says that Pudduteam was only the third team for AH-points (average of 118.3, against 127.2 of Cassonetti and 121 of Bardonecchia) and the fourth for stars (average of 30.6). They had the best forward, the second midfield and only the fifth defence: none of the Pudduteam players were in the dream team of the league. Pudduteam was the fourth team for total and average TSI and the seventh for total salaries (fifth for average salaries). All these statistics outguessed the difficulties that Pudduteam would have encountered in the next season in VII.

Season 31

At the beginning of the season, Pudduteam changed lots of player, especially inner midfielder, to reduce the average age of the trained sector. Moreover, in the second week, the new stadium was completed, with 16180 places for the supporters, always increasing in the previous seasons. The bad statistics of the previous season and all these changes influenced the results of that season; the league was one of the most difficult of the Italian VII (for Alltid Hattrick, at the end of the season VII.368 was the 247th over 1024th). The first match was against U.S. Moor: it was the first cup match of Pudduteam's history, finished with a defeat 0-3.

The season was the worst of Pudduteam's history: they never had the possibility of avoiding the relegation; an improvement of the team was not affordable for the economy of the club: only few new players arrived during the season, but when it was too late to avoid the relegation. Two promotions in two years were too much for Pudduteam's balance, also exhausted by the hire of the new trainer and the enlargement of the stadium. The first points arrived in week 6, 4-2 against Altarius Team, and at half of the championship Pudduteam was in the last place, with 3 points, toghether with montegrino and with one point less than Altarius (but with a much worse goal difference than the other two teams: -17). In week 8, Pudduteam tied 1-1 against Atletico Pedditte, the best team of the league, for AH-stats, but the following week, in the most important match of the season, Pudduteam lost 4-3 against Altarius, giving up any hope of avoiding the relegation: after that match Pudduteam had 3 points less than Altarius, in 6th place. In week 12, Pudduteam won against L'Aquila, a middle ranking team, but montegrino unexpectedly tied against the first of the league and Altarius defeated Pedditte. The week after, Pudduteam did not manage to defeat montegrino, loosing 0-1 at home and being relegated one week in advance. The last week, Pudduteam obtained a pointless victory against the third team of the league: they finished the championship in last place, with the same points of Altarius, but with a worse goal difference (-21 against -16), and 4 points less than montegrino (that won the last match as well), the last useful place to avoid relegation.

The statistics say that Pudduteam was the worst team, with an average of 118.9 AH-points (more or less the same of the previous season) and 31.9 stars. They had the worst defence and midfield, but the third forward sector of the league. Nonetheless, it must be noticed that large part of the relegation was due to the first part of the season, in fact since the sixth week, Pudduteam scored more or less the same statistics of the other direct competitors.

Season 32

Before the beginning of the season, MrPuddu made large changes in the midfield, selling some of the older inners and wingers, to buy younger ones. For the second time, after Jesús Vélez in season 29, MrPuddu bought an external keeper, in order to improve the defence performances: in fact Pudduteam has always lined up goalkeepers promoted from its youth squad. The main target of the season was the improve the quality of the team and earning as much money as possible, possibly arriving in the first three places; MrPuddu decided that for that season it was not important to get an immediate promotion: after the bad experience of the previous season, he decided to improve the team in VIII, before going in VII, possibly with a large amount of money, and having the chance to get a quiet safety.

The season started with a 1-2 defeat in the cup match against VictoriaLibertas. The championship did not start in the best way, as well: a defeat 4-5 against Real Torre Soccer, the best team of the league. However with 5 win in a row, Pudduteam reached the second position, but in week 7 they lost against Secconia, the second best team, 2-1 in their home. The week after it was unable to get a revenge, tieing 1-1 at home, and remaining in third place, with the same points of Secconia, but two goals less in the goal difference. In week 10 they unexpectedly lost 0-3 at home against Dinamo Dalzo, reducing their chances of getting the second place by the end of the championship. In week 12, after two consecutive victories, they mathematically conquered the third place in the table. The week after they lost the derby match against Quattinu, finishing the season in third place: in the last week, in fact, they got a useless victory in the big match against Real Torre (which however got the promotion because Secconia lost against Quattinu).

The statistics say that Pudduteam was the third team, with an average of 132.2 AH-Points, an amazing increase in comparison to the previous year. In term of stars, it was only the fifth team, with an average of 34.5 stars. Pudduteam had the third best midfield and second attack, but only the seventh defence. At the end of the season, Pudduteam was the fifth team in term of total and average salaries, the fourh in term of total TSI and the third in term of average TSI.

Season 33

During the break MrPuddu made just little change to the squad, strengthening the defence and slightly rejuvenating the midfield. The target of the season was to improve the general level of the squad, as in the previous year, and in second place try to get the promotion.

The beginning of the season was not the best one: a defeat 2-3 against Animal Factory, which meant exclusion from the cup at the first round, for the third consecutive season. The fixture of the championship is quite difficult, as in the first three matches Pudduteam has to play against Dinamo Dalzo, the fresher Real Metalmeccanici and Secconia, all of them very strong, however Pudduteam managed to defeat the first two quite easily, but in the second match Di Francesco got injured and Jeraj got suspended, and they had to skip the big match against Secconia; MrPuddu decided to buy another defender to cover these absences and to reinforce the defense, using the proceeds of an exceptional young goalkeeper sold the previous week for 405.000 € (the best proceeds ever for a Pudduteam's player). Pudduteam was defeated by Secconia in the 3rd week by 1-4: the score was surprising, as the statistics of the two teams were not too different: in that week Quattinu was able to take the second place, but in week 5 was defeated by Secconia, and Pudduteam, which won the following three matches, remaining just 3 points behind Secconia. In the same period Pudduteam was able to reinforce the team with another good defender, being able to get some record statistics (175 AH-points). At the middle of the season Pudduteam had to play two consecutive derby matches against Quattinu, in week 7 and 8. Pudduteam arrived in a very good shape to that appointment, winning both matches by 5-1. At half of the league, Pudduteam was in second place, still 3 points behind Secconia, with the best attack (32 goals scored) and best goal difference (+23), together with Secconia. Moreover, Carlos Dara was the top-scorer of the league, with 10 goals, and 5 players of Pudduteam (the goalkeeper Bombi, the defender Marques, the two inners Picariello and Felentzer, and the forward Dara) were in the dreamteam of the league.

In the second half of the season, Pudduteam managed to win all the matches until the match against Giglio: in that week, Pudduteam lost unexplainably and at the same time Secconia tied against hippo. As a result, Pudduteam arrived four points behind Secconia to the big match: even though Pudduteam won 3-0 at Secconia's home, they were still one point behind, and Secconia managed to maintain the advantage and gain the promotion.

The statistics say that Pudduteam was the second team, with an average of 158.6 AH-Points, the biggest increase in Pudduteam history (20% more than the previous year). In term of stars, Pudduteam was the second team with an average of 39.9 stars. Pudduteam had the best attack, the second midfield and the third attack of the league. At the end of the season, Pudduteam was the second team in terms of total and average salaries, but the first in terms of total and average TSI.

Season 34

During the break, Pudduteam did not change anything in the team, as the latter end of the previous season proved the strength of the main team. MrPuddu enlarged the stadium from 16180 to 23000 places just before the cup match. The target for the season was an easy promotion, a further improvement of the squad and drop in the average age of the inners.

For the first time in his history, Pudduteam managed to tie the cup match in the 90 minutes, but anyway lost in the overtime. After the first two matches of the league Pudduteam was in second place for the goal difference, but already in the third week Pudduteam reached the first place, with 3 points lead over REAL METALMECCANICI. In the 3rd week Pudduteam won the head to head match, maintaining the first place. The team won all the matches till the seventh week, when there was the head to head match against nikita soccer, which by that time was 3 points behind. Pudduteam managed to win both matches (7th and 8th weeks) and the promotion was close at hand. During the first half of the season, MrPuddu made some changes in the team, selling Olazabal (inner) and Linster (winger) and buying Trunčík and Hobbelen, lowering the average age of the trainees.

With the same purpose, MrPuddu sold Esteban and bought Djuranovič at the beginning of the second half, and later changed Maldini for Emire (just 17 years old). Moreover MrPuddu chose to enlarge the stadium another time (from 23000 to 30000 places), because since the fourth week the Arena was always at full capacity. Pudduteam continued the second half of the season with the same pace of the first, winning all the matches till the eleventh week, when, defeating REAL METALMECCANICI, was in first place with a 9 points gap: the promotion was in its pocket. At the same time Carlos Dara was the top scorer with 9 goals, together with Lindrup (Quattinu) and Clementi (nikita soccer) and Pudduteam had established its new record of winning streak (11 matches), and had won all the matches of the season, including the friendlies. The following week, Quattinu managed to stop this amazing winning streak tying the derby match in a crowded Pudduteam Arena; anyway with that point, Pudduteam got its second promotion in seventh division. Pudduteam won the last two matches, setting its record of points in one season (40) and tying the record of unbeaten streak (14 official matches).

The final statistics said that Pudduteam totally dominated the season, with no defeat and only one draw at home, in the derby match. Pudduteam scored an average AH-Points of 161.1 (with a maximum of 181), with best midfield, third attack and only the fifth defense. The average stars were 41.4. Comparing this results with those of season 30, when Pudduteam was promoted for the first time in division VII, there is an amazing difference, as the AH-Points are 36% higher and the stars are 35% higher; moreover six Pudduteam players were in the dream team of the league (three midfielders, one winger, one defender and one keeper). At the end of the season, Pudduteam was the fourth team in terms of total salaries and the third in terms of average salaries, but it was the first in terms of total TSI and the second in terms of average TSI.

Season 35

The season started with a defeat in the first round of Coppa Italia: this time Pudduteam, playing its best match and dominating all the ratings, tied 2-2 after the extra time, but lost after the penalties 2-6.

The main target for the season was an easy save from relegation and the improvement of the team. During the break, MrPuddu did not change anything in the squad. After the first two weeks, Pudduteam was alone in first place, but in the third week, they lost at home against LEBALLON a very close match. Anyway the AH-statistics and Loddar stats said that Pudduteam was the best team in the league, even though it was one of the less valuable teams in term of total TSI and total and average salaries. In the third week MrPuddu made some change to the squad: he bought a new wing back, Taffetani, and he sold Felentzer, because of the age, and bought Karel Vidner, a seventeen-year inner suitable for the Czech U-20, to substitute him. At the same time, Luigi Di Francesco, the historical multiskill defender (in Pudduteam squad since its foundation) was sold. At the end of the first half of the season, Pudduteam was in the first place (having won all the matches except that against LEBALLON). The AH-Stats showed that Pudduteam was the second team, with the best attack, the fourth defense and the fourth midfield. Taffetani, Marques and Hobbelen were in the dream team of the league, although Marques got a six weeks injury in the fifth week. Anyway, in term of TSI and total salaries, Pudduteam was the worst team.

In the second half of the season, Pudduteam lost the first two matches, against Teratani and vanzago, and tied the third against Ola Ola Eh Eh, going down in third place, two points behind vanzago. In the meantime, MrPuddu sold Picariello and bought a younger inner, the Portuguese Freitas, suitable for the U-20, and reinforced the attack, buying Miser. In week 11, Pudduteam lost against Kaulon, but was mathematically safe from relegation, well in advance to the end of the season, and the main target of the season was hit. In weeks 12 and 13, Pudduteam got only one point (the second point in the second half of the season) and was in fourth place, one point behind Nazda, the final week opponent, which then became a tie-breaker for the third place. Pudduteam lost also the match against Nazda, finishing 20 points and only two points in the second half of the season.

The statistics said that Pudduteam was the second team in term of average AH-Points (161.1, with a maximum of 194); Pudduteam showed the best attack, the fourth midfield and the fourth defense. However, only two players were in the dream team of the league (a wing back and a winger), and Pudduteam was by far the worst team in terms of total and average TSI and salaries. The two targets of the season were hit, with a very easy save from relegation (even though in the second half of the season Pudduteam collected only two points), and an increase in average TSI of 27%. Said that, the weakness of the team in term of total and average TSI is quite worrying in view of the following season.
