They finished the championship in 7th place because in they started with only 1 point over 10 matches. 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 for the goal difference. The twelfth week they played the big matche against real feltre85, the third team, with 27 points and 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, it was a defeat 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.

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. 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 eleven matches.
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; it hired a new trainer: Naşit Özgeer, a solid cypriot. 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.
