[FM20] The Teplice Trophy Hunt - A Czech Adventure

It's our last game of the Europa League group stage and although it has been a disappointing performance from us, we are still in with a chance of finishing 3rd in the group and going into the Europa Conference League knockout rounds.

We play at home to Anderlecht as we look to continue our European adventure in season three.

Part 21 - S3 Europa League Struggles
 
In episode 22 we start with a review of our league form in what is becoming a very tight Fortuna League in terms of European spots. We then take a look at THREE loan signings, including one of them who is setting the league alight with his great goal scoring form.

Following this we have a second leg to play in the Europa Conference League last 16 for a place in the quarter final! We play Basel in Switzerland as we try to drag out our European adventure a little while longer.

Part 22 - S3 Battling Basel
 
In episode 23 we start by taking a look at how our first ever Europa Conference League Quarter Final against Athletic Bilbao went. There is then a few departures to report on as we start to have half an eye on building a squad for next season. We also take a sneak peak at the shortlist and a few players I am hopeful of signing for season 4.

We then switch our attention to present day matters though as we are right in the thick of a scrap for a European spot. We play Slavia Prague who are just one spot above us in the league table.

Part 23 - S3 European Race
 
After a disappointing season three we look forward to season four with a renewed optimism and with a host of new signings there is plenty to be optimistic about. We take a look at new faces with international experience, English Premier League experience and plenty of quality.

Following that there is the second league game of the season against the perennially competitive Sparta Prague. Do we have cause to be optimistic for season four? Or will it all come crashing down?

Part 24 - S4 New Signings Galore
 
We are 10 games into season four and although things are generally going well there has been a couple more departures since the last episode. With these exits we have dipped back into the transfer market to swiftly replace them in what is a very new look Teplice squad.

Following the review of the squad overhaul we play Viktoria Plzen at home. They have had a poor start to the season but are looking to capitalise on our recent poor performances.

Part 25 - S4 The Overhaul Continues
 
Things are going well but it's an odd league table so far in season four as many teams have multiple games in hand. Whilst our form is encouraging we gear up for a tough home match against former champions, Slavia Prague.

Before the game we take a look at some of our top performers so far this season and the current financial situation at the club.

Part 26 - S4 Encouraging Signs
 
In part 27 we play away to Sigma Olomouc in the Czech League and we have a huge opportunity to extend our lead at the top of the table over second placed Slavia Prague. Can we hold our nerve and keep up the good form?

Before that game we take a look at two young players who are due to join the club at the end of the season for a combined fee of £1.5m.

Part 27 - S4 A Stretching Lead
 
It's all hotting up as we play what could prove to be a title decider! Sat in first place in the league, we entertain 2nd placed Slavia Prague at home, knowing that a win or draw would see us win the league title for the first time in this challenge. A defeat would mean the title race continues and would keep Slavia's hopes alive.

Let's crush their dreams!

Part 28 - S4 Crunch Time
 
It's the beginning of season five and for the first time ever we begin the season as defending champions! We begin our title defence against our old rival, Slavia Prague.

With a title defence on the line and Champions League football coming up it's been an important transfer window for Teplice and we review some key signings, including a couple of former English Premier League players!

Part 29 - S5 Starting as Champions
 
In Part 30 we have a huge game away to Rosenborg knowing that if we win the tie, we are into the Champions League Group Stage for the first time. Before that we take a look at our rather shaky start to the season which has resulted in more reinforcements being brought into the club.

Part 30 - S5 Away In Norway
 
Despite a rocky start to the season our form has turned around and we are on the rise, firing in all three competitions that we are competing in. Today we have a huge test as our Champions League adventure continues and we must go to away to Lyon to try to continue our good form.

Part 31 - S5 UCL Group Stage
 
We have been going well in the Champions League so far this season but in part 32 we have our toughest test yet, away to Borussia Dortmund. They have some huge name players but we go to Germany in confident mood hoping to cause an upset!

Part 32 - S5 Reality Bites
 
It's part 33 and we have a Champions League 2nd leg knockout game against Bayer Leverkusen. After losing the first leg 2-1 in Germany, we do have something to play for as we welcome them to the Czech Republic.

This is a Leverkusen side that boasts names such as Victor Osimhen, Alphonso Davies, Exequiel Palacios and Renato Sanches. Can Matej Vydra and Johann Berg Gudmundsson et al cause an upset? Or is this the end of our run?

Part 33 - S5 Is This The End?
