Jimmy on the right track, World Famous at 17yrs old

Hanabishi FC - Keane GW

The quest for Jimmy Davids to obtain HHN reputation is on the right track, just today he obtained World Famous at a tender age of 17yrs old. I'm hoping before the season end he will be HHN (13 days away), it's tricky but quite possible as long as he continues to perform and stay healthy.

Keane's Last Stand Football Association

Hanabishi FC - Keane GW

Permission granted for a new FA, Keane's Last Stand Football Association or KLSFA in short, less than 48hours before lock down. With a max club limit of 80 the FA were 60 clubs strong in less than 24hours and roughly 4 hours before lock down the limit were reached. It's going to be an interesting and hopefully fun season ahead with majority of the online users being in the new active FA.

I've also managed to lower Alejandro's wage to £4k, ultimately bringing our club's financial projection on an upward trend (no more excess wage tax! woohooo!)

16yrs old, 4 stars reputation and he's not even a Brazilian!

Hanabishi FC - Keane GW

I knew he was good and I was pretty sure he could reach 3.5stars reputation at a tender age of 16yrs old but getting to 4stars rep on his 1st ever season is a 1st! Not even my ex Lineker wonderkid, Fernando de Souza, was able to reach 4stars rep that fast (probably because de Souza is a wing back while Jimmy is a forward, thus more recognition).

My aim was for Jimmy to reach World Famous at 17yrs old and Household by 18yrs old, now I think getting to Household at 17yrs old next season could be a possibility. He just need to perform consistently and stay away from the sick ward. He could be the 1st youth to reach Household at 17yrs old and he's not even a Brazilian! (Generally Brazilian regenerate at 15yrs old so they have a season extra to develop)

Crickey, how did I missed Philippe Lachuer

Hanabishi FC - Keane GW

I've been so absorbed with Jimmy Davids' rising development/reputation that I totally forgot another youth which I've signed at the start of the season, 16yrs old D/WB/AML French Philippe Lachuer. I even have him in a squad screen shot posted on 15th Nov, sorry lad!

His ACQ is now twice as high as Jimmy's but funny thing is his reputation is still at 3stars while Jimmy got his 3.5stars much much earlier.

Quick look at Jimmy, Daniele and Alejandro's development

Hanabishi FC - Keane GW

Jimmy turns out to be a fantastic (and expensive in terms of daily wage) acquisition. He obtained 3.5stars reputation at a tender age of 16yrs old, only 5 days after regeneration! Simply amazing, reminds me so much of Fernanda de Souza in Lineker GW in terms of value, quality and development. Thanks to SI I'll never know how well he'll turn out in his prime :(


Daniele didn't get as much playing time as I would have liked but his value is increasing at a steady pace as well as his development.


My fault for ruining Alejandro's development, there's no way to play him with a healthy Hugo Emanuel around. I'm tempted to rebid his wage next week, still deciding :(

Youth Mega League U18 & U19 triumph

Hanabishi FC - Keane GW

After the bombshell announcement by SI to completely reset all gameworlds by March 2010 (they didn't learn a thing from Star Wars Galaxies NGE epic failure) due to their own fault as somehow they figured it does not matter to punish existing loyal managers but to look forward and entice new "casual" managers to join them (casual managers are those who don't play the game often and 60% of them quits 3 months down the road). Brilliant SI, just simply brilliant... would love to see the brains behind your MMORPG gaming division as well as your marketing people.

Anyway back to the good news :) The kids has finally won some trophies! Comprehensive victories in both U18 and U19 Youth Mega League.

Further youth acquisition and a minor setback

Hanabishi FC - Keane GW

I'm done recruiting for this season due to wage overload (£266k per day, excess wage tax ughhh!). Managed to bring in 3 quality regens to compliment my current set of youth. Feast your eyes on the 3 youth below (excuse for the crazy wage) :

Jimmy Davids 16yrs old French AMRC + FC


Alejandro Salina 16yrs old Argentine AMR


Daniel Guastella 16yrs old Italian MRC


Of course, every season I'll have one lad (if lucky) out for 1-2 weeks. This season my defensive pillar, Francesco Galliano, broke his leg and will be out for 1-2 weeks. I'm learning physio now, hopefully I can shorten the length.

Keane GW Season 13 update

Apology for the missing updates in the past weeks. I've gone full youth in both Keane and Lineker GWs, spent most of the time searching for potential youth regens. I think that's the best part about being a youth coach, scouting! Then comes the bidding war and of course shortly after winning the war you'll regret for a few hours on the ridicuous wage you're paying for a 15/16yrs old! hahahaha......... ahem.....

My current set of youth aren't too shabby, majority of them were acquired shortly after going youth two seasons ago so they are now 18yrs old. I've sent a few over to my feeder club as well as sold a few to keep the club afloat due to the high wage total and also low reputation (resulted in low daily income). I've managed to pick up 3 great looking 16yrs old in recent wage auction and I'm pretty sure they will turn out to be worthwhile gems.

A screen shot of the current squad, a detailed screens of each player another time. Am playing 4-5-1 formation and also experimenting with a modifield version of 4-4-1-1.

End of 11th Season in Keane GW

I've managed to dump most of my senior players, with only Jose Piedrafita, Byro, Jean Silva and Omar Palacios to go. With the newly acquired funds I've rebuilt two of my stadium stands and has been spending the last few days acquiring potential youth players. One of the few things I hate about "Finance" Manager Live is that I'll be taxed on profits generated from my players sales, to avoid it I will need to spend a bulk of the profit on my stadium, two Exclusif corporate boxes should do the trick, I hope...

Another annoying thing about FML is that if you have an activity rating of 1 star and if you play a dozen of games in a day you're guaranteed to be faced with a massive injury list. As I'm going back to youth and naturally my youth rating is at 1 star, I have a stupidly long list of injuries. Screen capture below >:(

Youth Squad + injury nightmare


New stadium construction in progress

Massive sales at Hanabishi FC!

Hanabishi FC - Keane GW

After much thinking (and also the fact that I've reached #1 in GW ranking and mainting it for the past few days) I've decided to go back to youth. Some players have already parted, Michal Visek for £1.5mil, Claudiu Coman for £1.85mil, Freddy Adu for £2.6mil, and just recently Miralem Sulejmani for £2.5mil.

I've only managed to bring in 2 youth but more will follow from my partner's club once he's back from his holiday, not to mention I've few regen bids running. Will do a screen shot once I have a full squad of regens ready.
