Welcome to my brand new Football Manager 2020 career, The Teplice Trophy Hunt, where I head over to the Czech Republic to take charge of top division side, FK Teplice. This is a country that I have never managed in despite playing football management games for more than 20 years so it is completely new horizons for me.

We may have one of the biggest stadiums in the country but despite being top tier regulars, FK Teplice have never won the top division title in their 75 year history and in recent years have become a mid-table team with no European qualification for 10 years.

The aim of this FM20 career is to bring glory to FK Teplice and finally win them the Czech league title. Maybe we can add some European silverware along the way too but the primary aim is to dominate our home country. The trophy cabinet may be a little bare but surely we can change that!

As a usual lower league management FM player, this is something slightly different for me as we will actually have a bit of money to spend right from day 1! Can we overcome the likes of Sparta Prague, Viktoria Plzen and Slavia Prague? Let's find out!

In part 2 of this new Football Manager 2020 challenge, we play our first ever competitive fixture in charge of FK Teplice. Our opponents are UEFA Champions League participants, Viktoria Plzen. It promises to be a huge challenge for the opening day of season one.

We also take a look at the array of new signings that we have made to prepare us for the first season of this career. There are also some interesting backroom staff additions, including two Dutch coaches with a wealth of international experience and reputations far greater than mine!

In episode 3 we review how the early part of the season has gone so far and bring you a double header of matches! First up is a home league match against Jablonec and this is followed by our first match in the Czech FA Cup away to Neratovice.

Has it been a start to remember? Or one to forget?

Just a quick question dude, how the hell can you have three stories on the go at once? It's hard for me to do one and work full time shifts daily but I manage it....just!

Personally, I'd concentrate on one myself but each to their own. Would also be good to have some written updates to go along with the YouTube videos. Gives more meaning.

But as I said, these are my thoughts and mine alone.

Never had 3 at once. I was doing 2, Balzers/Liechtenstein and Sola FK. I ended the Sola FK one because of a couple of things and picked up the Teplice one in it's place.

The Liechtenstein Challenge I play 90% live on Twitch, 3 nights per week (summer breaks I do offline). The YT videos for this challenge are to allow people who can't always catch me on Twitch to still be able to keep up to date. You will notice with that one I only do maybe 2 YT videos per season with this.

The Teplice Career is one that I play offline and post more regular updates to YT as that is my YT series.

So I expect to always have 2 on the go. A Twitch save and a YT save. It's not uncommon for youtubers/streamers to have a couple of careers on the go at once.

It would make sense to use this file for more realisme : https://sortitoutsi.net/downloads/view/50426/fm2020-licensing-and-real-name-fix-file-v01-for-fm20-beta-awaiting-release

most changes are save game compatible, but some only takes effect after you start a new game

Damn that looks a complicated step by step guide on installing it haha. Will give it a go, thanks for the heads up.

EDIT: Done. It definitely has updated at least the competition names on my saved games. Club names will only be for new games.

Thanks!

It's episode 5 of this FM20 career with Teplice and we have a very winnable home game against Pribram in the last game before the winter break. We also discover why one of our most important players won't sign a new contract and will therefore be lost in the summer on a free transfer!

It's episode 6 of the Teplice Trophy Hunt and we take a look at a big news article that broke over the winter break. We also take a look at a new arrival that joined the club in the January transfer window and it's someone with international experience but a player who will likely be new to 99% of you.

We then turn out attention to the league where we play Banik Ostrava away from home before taking a look at the future fixtures and attempt to get our heads around the format of the Fortuna League.

Then, we have the big one, our first ever game in European football in this career. It's the 2nd qualifying round of the Europa League against Vardar of North Macedonia.

It's been 10 years since the club competed in European competition. Can we get them off to a positive start?

Following that we play a home game in the league against Mlada Boleslav. If my car will make it to the stadium that is...

We are quickly approaching the winter break of what is proving to be a highly competitive season two. In episode 13 we play at home to Slovan Liberec as we look to continue our good form.

Before that though we take a look at some of our top performers and a new, exciting transfer that is arranged. An 18 year old midfielder that has the potential to take this club to the next level. We then finish up by taking a look at the top 5 leagues in Europe to see which of the elite clubs are performing well in this save.

It's episode 15 and it's a big one, a huge game for FK Teplice as we play fellow title chasers Slavia Prague at home. It's very tight at the top so three points could make all the difference as we approach the end of season 2.

The squad is settled, they are enjoying their football and we also have another fixture to look forward to before the end of the season!

It's season two and we have an early opportunity to win our first piece of silverware in this trophy hunt career. We play in the Czech FA Cup Final against Banik Ostrava and look to end FK Teplice's 12 year wait for any kind of trophy.

The suit is on, the 8,000 capacity neutral venue is set, the players are ready. Can we get this career off to a flying start and deliver when it counts, in the cup final?

Episode 17 of The Teplice Trophy Hunt is the conclusion of season 2! We are level on points with Slavia Prague going into the final game of the season and our goal difference is just 2 goals better. Our final game of the season is at home to 3rd place Viktoria Plzen whilst Slavia Prague are at home to Banik Ostrava who sit in 5th.

We have 4 suspensions and 2 injuries going into final day but can we overcome that and complete a league and cup double in season 2? Let's find out! It really is on a knife edge.

We then touch on the transfers that have happened in the summer between seasons 2 and 3. Following that, it is time for the second leg of our first ever Champions League tie against FC Copenhagen in the second qualifying round. We are up against it but we won't go down without a fight.

It's episode 19 and although our league form may have suffered, our European adventure continues. After Champions League disappointment, we have the second leg of our Europa League playoff for a spot in the group stage. We have a decent lead from the first leg but can we hold on?

We have also signed a former Italian international following his exit from Inter Milan but has the signing quite gone to plan?

The team has struggled to score goals from open play recently but can we rectify that today?

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.

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.

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?

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.

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.
