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.
