I get it now... Just win! The coefficients I gained for the Czech league did result in an extra Champions League Qualification spot for the 2017/2018 season. The Czech champion plays in the ''Champions'' qualification round, and the second placed team plays in the ''Best Placed'' qualification round (which is a lot harder with teams from England, Spain, etc.). It can only help.
Champions League 2016/2017 Qualification:
Group:
Cruel... It'd be a miracle to qualify from this group. I wouldn't mind 3rd place to have a chance at making another run in the Europa League.
UEFA Super Cup 2016:
I didn't stand a chance in this one. Arsenal dominated the entire game easily, even with 10 men. My strongest player Akif Kara was also out injured and my forward line couldn't finish the few chances they created. A rather casual win for the Gunners. Meh.

This youngster popped up in my youth team. He made his debut in Czech Republic's U21 team shortly after turning 15, and already caught the attention of European top teams. Incredible prospect.
Champions League Group Stages 2016/2017:
Final Standings:
Great wins versus Fenerbahce. Would've been even greater had I won at Bernabeu, despite Real Madrid's domination. I was super close to a win with Akif Kara one on one with Casillas in the final seconds of the game, but he f*cked up. Europa League it is. My first opponent will be Belgian side A.A. Gent.

Europa League 2016/2017:
First Knock Out Round - AA Gent:
Second Knock Out Round - Galatasaray:
Quarter Final - Olympique Lyon:
Up until the loss in Lyon, I was cruising through the tournament. Thankfully Hugo Lloris' blunder allowed me a great chance to qualify for the Semi Final..... I was looking towards the one man I trusted to elimate Olympique Lyonnais: AKIF KARA. (Now start the Superman video)
Akif browses the field, giving the Lyon defenders intimidating looks, and waiting for the right moment to tell an obviously inferior teammate to pass him the ball... Dukla is in possession in midfield... Stilic has the ball... AKIF SEES AN OPPORTUNITY! HE MOVES!!! ''SACRE BLEU!!'' yell the Lyon defenders!! Stilic dribbles! HE SEES AKIF! HE PASSES HIM THE BALL!! ''NON!!! INCROYABLE!!'' yell the Lyon defenders!! (Start the Akif Kara video at around 43 seconds into the Superman theme for the intended effect
)
Fatal hit. Knock Out Lyon.
So yeah, Dukla Praha marches on.

Semi Final - Liverpool:
This has to be one of the most effective teams I've ever assembled. They're especially great on counter attacks with the passing abilities of Robinho, Hrcka and Stilic, the speed of Walter Cortez and the devestation of Akif Kara. It's really fun to watch.
All goals from Anfield Road:
Second leg (a formality):
And so Dukla Prague advances to its second straight Europa League Final, set in our hometown Amsterdam, Zlatan. There I'll defend my trophy facing the club I despise the most: F.C. Internazionale. Perfect, just perfect.

Europa League Final 2017: F.K. Dukla Praha - F.C. Internazionale Milano
Line-Ups:
Two changes in Dukla's line-up compared to last year's final: Dutch midfielder Ksao Gezaw misses the final through suspension, Semir Stilic is his replacement. Tomas Kalas is a new face in defense for Dukla this season, he replaces Lukas Hejda in the starting line-up.
Inter's biggest threats are obviously Paulo ''Ganso'' Henrique and Javier Pastore, two of the best players in the game. I wasn't very impressed with the rest of their team.
The game was very balanced from the start and not very spectacular. Unfortunately Inter took the lead in the first half when Javier Pastore scored an unlikely powerful header from quite a distance.
After 15 minutes in the second half Semir Stilic equalized with a powerful shot from the edge of the penalty area.
This one looked like it was heading for overtime.... But in the 93rd (!!!) minute Walter Cortez broke free from the Inter defenders and delived a cross to whom else but...... AKIF KARA!!!
GOOOOLLLLL!!!
.... And that capped another incredible Cup run, with some of the most memorable goals in my FM career. Back to back, b*tches.
Dynamic League Reputation:
My back to back Europa League victories have effect: from 29th to 18th, and the third full star for the Czech First Division. It's great motivation to keep this going. There's plenty more to gain, and I wonder what effect it has on the other Czech clubs. Time to found out.

Can't find the competition rankings (only when I get the news in my inbox), but Norway is on two and a halve stars.nor-rbk;2972038 said:Nicely done.
Just out of curiosity, how's the Norwegian league ranked?
I had some marathon Dukla sessions the last couple of days, but forgot to update (I'm so terribly sorry!!!
), but here's a summary.In the summer of 2017 I made my biggest signing so far: Marko Arnautovic. He played as an Inside Forward alongside Walter Cortez and Akif Kara, which makes for a pretty mean, technical offense. However, I again failed to qualify from the Champions League Group Stages. Same scenario as last year; a win at Santiago Bernabeu would see me go through, but I couldn't pull it off.
Europa League it is. I had a good start knocking out Celtic and Bursaspor, but Barcelona and Messi (Nine World Player of the Year awards in a row) proved to be too much.
Coming up: FK Dukla Praha, 2018/2019... and I can tell, it was special.
2018/2019 Champions League
... with video highlights of all my legendary games. (too bad FM doesn't have FIFA 11 graphics, that'd be pretty epic.)
Group Stages:
First Knockout Round - Arsenal - First Leg:

ANDIAMO A TORINO, ANDIAMO A TORINO!!! That's where the Champions League Final 2018/2019 is played in the new stadium of Juventus. What are the odds? Best. FM. Game. Ever.
Oh, yeah, the opponent: AS Roma. Can't let them win the Champions League in Juventus' house, right?

2019 UEFA Champions League Final: F.K. Dukla Praha - A.S. Roma
Line-Ups:
Few changes compared to the Europa League winning sides: Ozgur Arslan left for Hercules in 2018, Georgian back Kakhaber Mujiri is his replacement. Alan Patrick misses the game through injury, Josef Husbauer his replacement. Husbauer also played in most Knock Out rounds in place of Patrick and did a phenomenal job.
The winning goal in the final minutes of the game is one I've seen so many times before. Cortez going down the sideline with his lightning speed, then the cross, and Akif Kara powering it in to complete his legendary hattrick! Did that ever happen in a real life CL final? I don't think so. CHAMPIONS OF EUROPE!
[Edit - Puskas and Di Stefano scored a hattrick in the 1960 Champions League Final. Akif Kara is now one of them.]
This is also the second European Final decided by Cortez-Kara. In the 2017 Europa League Final vs. Inter the final scoring play was nearly identical, also in the final minutes of the game. Stuff of legends.
So I won the Champions League in my ninth season. Obviously the sugar daddy made it easier for me and FM purists will probably sniff at this (though I'm still not fishing in the same pool of players as the bigger nations), but I don't care. Dukla Prague is going for the World Cup in the tenth season. After that I may look for a new challenge as I'm getting seriously bored with the Czech Republic; I'm already playing the Czech league games on high speed and ''only commentary'' (as I hate going on holiday)... It's not fun.
Anyway, pretty good. Prettaaay, prettaayyy good.

And Dukla it is.... again. I'll have to accept that Dukla and I can't be seperated in this game.
In the summer of 2019 Arnautovic left, and I signed this player for the right wing. Because of the European success I was able to move up my wage scale, which enabled me to get this guy and hang on to Robinho and Walter Cortez. Cortez-Ferreira-Kara will head our Champions League title defense.
Champions League 2019/2020:
For the first time I won my group (Valencia, Fenerbahce, AIK) and I won it convincingly. Blow out wins vs. AIK and Fenerbahce, and won and drew vs. Valencia.
1/8 - Chelsea... I'm playing them every year!
1/4 - Valencia
1/2 - Manchester United
Beaten by Rasmus Elm... bleh. Nonetheless, another great run in the Champions League.
Dukla Prague's reputation is through the roof, but after 10 years, 2 Europa League titles and 1 Champions League title (and a semi final) the Czech league is still on three stars, albeit around the top of the 3 star leagues. I think I'm 13th on the overall league ranking now. I believe Dukla will get the Czech league to three and a halve stars soon (on level with Ukraine, Russia, Portugal) but I also believe other Czech clubs will need to step up to make the final leap into the top leagues of Europe. It's a loonggg term thing for sure...
In the summer of 2020 I was able to make my biggest signing so far: Saul Marinelli from Sporting Gijon. An Argentinian international and absolutely one of the best midfielders in the game. The wage scale keeps moving up and up, and top talents are now excited to play for such an ''illustrous'' club.
I also got this kid from Brazil. One of the best defensive talents in the game.
