In the game it&#8217;s called &#8220;Synot liga&#8221; but before the 2017\/2018 season, it was changed to &#8220;HET liga&#8221; as there is a new major sponsor of the first division.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Structure<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>The Czech 1st division contains 16 clubs and they play each other twice. But despite the new system will be active from the 2018\/2019 season in real life, Football Manager 2018 is ahead of the real life so we have the new league system already in the game.<\/p>\n<p>That means the teams will be split into Championship Group (TOP 6), European Places Playoff First Round Group (teams placed 7th-10th) and Relegation Group (Bottom 6 teams).<\/p>\n<p>There is a limit of 5 non-EU players in the starting XI.<\/p>\n<p>In the <strong>Championship Group<\/strong>, you will play 5 games as team play each other once and teams at better places should play more matches at home. Teams entering this stage will start with all their stats from the first 30 matches along with all points gained.<\/p>\n<p>The <strong>European Places Playoff<\/strong> is very simple. You will play twice (home &amp; away) and the winners qualify for the second round. The winners of the second round will qualify for the Final.<\/p>\n<p>The Relegation Group has the same rules as the Championship Group as teams will play five matches and the bottom team is relegated to the 2nd tier. Teams placed 4th and 5th will have to play relegation Playoff with two teams from the second tier.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.thehighertempopress.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/Synot-Liga_-Overview-Profile.png\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-17464 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.thehighertempopress.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/Synot-Liga_-Overview-Profile.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1028\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.thehighertempopress.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/Synot-Liga_-Overview-Profile.png 1920w, https:\/\/www.thehighertempopress.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/Synot-Liga_-Overview-Profile-300x161.png 300w, https:\/\/www.thehighertempopress.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/Synot-Liga_-Overview-Profile-768x411.png 768w, https:\/\/www.thehighertempopress.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/Synot-Liga_-Overview-Profile-1024x548.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.thehighertempopress.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/Synot-Liga_-Overview-Profile-696x373.png 696w, https:\/\/www.thehighertempopress.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/Synot-Liga_-Overview-Profile-1068x572.png 1068w, https:\/\/www.thehighertempopress.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/Synot-Liga_-Overview-Profile-784x420.png 784w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<h3><strong>Continental qualification<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Same as the new league system is adopted in the Football Manager 2018 it looks there are also updated places in UEFA Champions League and UEFA Europa League.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>One team qualifies for UEFA Champions League Champions Playoff<\/li>\n<li>One team qualifies for UEFA Champions League Best Placed Second Qualifying Phase<\/li>\n<li>One team qualifies for UEFA Europa League Group Stage<\/li>\n<li>One team qualifies for UEFA Europa League Third Qualifying Phase<\/li>\n<li>One team qualifies for UEFA Europa League Second Qualifying Round (depending on the winner of the domestic cup).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Places are also allocated by league positions and results in the European Places Playoff.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Restrictions and rules<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>As it was already mentioned there is a limit of 5 non-EU players in the starting XI. The summer transfer window in the Czech Republic is longer than in England or Germany etc. It starts 1st July but it ends 22nd September. The winter transfer window is also longer as it ends 21st February.<\/p>\n<p>You will have a winter break in the Czech Republic as the first part will end in December and it will be restarted in the mid of February.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Past Winners<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>AC Sparta Prague is the most times winner as the club from the Czech Republic capital won the league 12 times since 1993 when the Czech and Slovakia were divided into two nations and both nations have their own football structure.<\/p>\n<p>They won the league in the 2013\/2014 for the last time. In the previous three seasons, Viktoria Plze\u0148 won the league twice and Slavia Prague is the latest Czech title holder.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Who to pick<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><strong>Top Side(s)<\/strong>: The top 3 sides to pick in the Czech Republic are <strong>Slavia Prague, Viktoria Plze\u0148 and Sparta Prague<\/strong>. You can find a &#8220;stars&#8221; like Danny, Halil Altintop, Rio Mavuba, Marc Janko, Jonathan Biabiany and more in the squads of Slavia and Sparta as both teams spent a lot of money in summer 2017. On the other side, Viktoria Plze\u0148 took back Pavel Vrba as their head coach and they have squad mainly with players from Czech and Slovakia.<\/p>\n<p>Slavia have Chinese owners and there could be a lot of money. Sparta have a very rich owner but finances were more restricted in the past and Plze\u0148 is addicted mainly to money from European cups and transfers.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Medium Side<\/strong>: My main pick for the medium side would be <strong>FC Slovan Liberec<\/strong>. The club from the north of Czech Republic have limited finances as their owner is very strict but they have a talented squad with a couple of youngsters on loan from Sparta Prague for example (Havelka, Pulkrab, Kulh\u00e1nek).<\/p>\n<p><strong>Youth save<\/strong>: I have to say there is not only one club to this type of challenge because as you will progress in the save you will notice they will be fantastic newgens and you can build great teams based on young players. But I really like newly promoted <strong>SK Sigma Olomouc.<\/strong> They won a promotion from 2nd tier mainly thanks to players from their own academy with a year of birth 1993. Players like David Houska, Tom\u00e1\u0161 Zahradn\u00ed\u010dek or Jakub Pl\u0161ek became very good players in terms of Czech Republic and they are key players now. Sigma is flying in real life after promotion so there is a challenge for you to make it the same or even better in FM18.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Challenge:<\/strong>\u00a0My main challenge this year would be to pick <strong>FK Mlad\u00e1 Boleslav<\/strong>. It&#8217;s a team from the central part of the Czech Republic and \u0160koda cars are produced in the town. The club is very ambitious and they want to play in Europe but they failed to qualify for the Europa League groups stage in the past. They finished fourth in the league three times in a row despite they have a very good squad including Marek Mat\u011bjovsk\u00fd, Jan Chramosta, Tom\u00e1\u0161 P\u0159ikryl or talented Ladislav Tak\u00e1cs. There is a big chance to build the squad around Mat\u011bjovsk\u00fd and Chramosta and fight with Slavia, Plze\u0148 and Sparta for the title.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.thehighertempopress.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/Synot-Liga_-Overview-Season-Preview-2.png\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-17465 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.thehighertempopress.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/Synot-Liga_-Overview-Season-Preview-2.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1028\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.thehighertempopress.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/Synot-Liga_-Overview-Season-Preview-2.png 1920w, https:\/\/www.thehighertempopress.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/Synot-Liga_-Overview-Season-Preview-2-300x161.png 300w, https:\/\/www.thehighertempopress.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/Synot-Liga_-Overview-Season-Preview-2-768x411.png 768w, https:\/\/www.thehighertempopress.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/Synot-Liga_-Overview-Season-Preview-2-1024x548.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.thehighertempopress.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/Synot-Liga_-Overview-Season-Preview-2-696x373.png 696w, https:\/\/www.thehighertempopress.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/Synot-Liga_-Overview-Season-Preview-2-1068x572.png 1068w, https:\/\/www.thehighertempopress.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/Synot-Liga_-Overview-Season-Preview-2-784x420.png 784w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<h3><strong>Simulations<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>I ran three simulations of the 2017\/2018 season. It resulted in these results.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>1st attempt:<\/strong> Champions &#8211; Sparta Prague; Relegated &#8211; Bohemians Prague, Olomouc &amp; Ban\u00edk Ostrava avoided relegation in the Playoff.<\/li>\n<li><strong>2nd attempt:<\/strong> Champions &#8211; Sparta Prague; Relegated &#8211; Vyso\u010dina Jihlava, Zl\u00edn &amp; Ban\u00edk Ostrava avoided relegation in the Playoff.<\/li>\n<li><strong>3rd attempt:<\/strong> Champions &#8211; Sparta Prague; Relegated &#8211; MFK Karvin\u00e1, Bohemians Prague &amp; Ban\u00edk Ostrava relegated after Playoff.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The most common tactic in all three simulations was 4-2DM-3-1. There were also 4-4-2 (2 teams) &amp; 4-3-2-1 (1 team).<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Players<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>As I mentioned above there is a lot of foreign players in Sparta or Slavia squads. But mainly in Sparta as they bought 12 foreign players during the 2017\/2018 summer transfer window in real life. There is right &#8220;Babylon&#8221; and it could be interesting to see how it will work in terms of the new FM18 Dynamics feature.<\/p>\n<p>One of the new players, Jonathan Biabiany (on-loan from Internazionale) is the most valued player at the start of the save with \u00a39,5M. You could manage Tom\u00e1\u0161 Rosick\u00fd if you pick Sparta Prague. Yes, he is still alive.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.thehighertempopress.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/Tomas-Rosicky_-Overview-Profile.png\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-17466 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.thehighertempopress.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/Tomas-Rosicky_-Overview-Profile.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1028\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.thehighertempopress.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/Tomas-Rosicky_-Overview-Profile.png 1920w, https:\/\/www.thehighertempopress.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/Tomas-Rosicky_-Overview-Profile-300x161.png 300w, https:\/\/www.thehighertempopress.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/Tomas-Rosicky_-Overview-Profile-768x411.png 768w, https:\/\/www.thehighertempopress.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/Tomas-Rosicky_-Overview-Profile-1024x548.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.thehighertempopress.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/Tomas-Rosicky_-Overview-Profile-696x373.png 696w, https:\/\/www.thehighertempopress.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/Tomas-Rosicky_-Overview-Profile-1068x572.png 1068w, https:\/\/www.thehighertempopress.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/Tomas-Rosicky_-Overview-Profile-784x420.png 784w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>I would be interested in\u00a0if some big club will snap central defender Simon Deli from Slavia Prague who is their key player.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.thehighertempopress.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/Simon-Deli_-Overview-Profile.png\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-17467 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.thehighertempopress.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/Simon-Deli_-Overview-Profile.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1028\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.thehighertempopress.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/Simon-Deli_-Overview-Profile.png 1920w, https:\/\/www.thehighertempopress.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/Simon-Deli_-Overview-Profile-300x161.png 300w, https:\/\/www.thehighertempopress.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/Simon-Deli_-Overview-Profile-768x411.png 768w, https:\/\/www.thehighertempopress.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/Simon-Deli_-Overview-Profile-1024x548.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.thehighertempopress.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/Simon-Deli_-Overview-Profile-696x373.png 696w, https:\/\/www.thehighertempopress.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/Simon-Deli_-Overview-Profile-1068x572.png 1068w, https:\/\/www.thehighertempopress.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/Simon-Deli_-Overview-Profile-784x420.png 784w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>But if I would play in the Czech Republic in FM18, no matter of club, I would be interested to sign midfielder Michal S\u00e1\u010dek from Sparta Prague and try to develop him.
