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.

Rafael Carioca signs for Hanabishi United

Hanabishi United - Lineker GW

Rafael Carioca, a 30yrs old DM, signs for United after a fee of £2.4mil was accepted by Radoslaw Nowak's Inter Reisha. Carioca is no stranger to United as he was part of our early squad from 1st to 3rd season in Lineker. Undoubtly he's one of my favorite FML players and we're simply estatic to have him on board again!



Unfortunately as a player join our ranks another has to leave. Talented 20yrs old Andy Heath joins Jacob McGinty's JJMFC for £2.5mil + 20% future sell on. He's a brilliant prospect but the money was too good to ignore. We wish his new manager the best of luck!

Commercial Level 5 done!

Hanabishi United - Lineker GW

After 44days+ of waiting it's finally finished, say hello to Commercial Level 5! Next skill to learn is Contract Negotiation Level 5, another long ass wait, 22days+ :(

Quick update - Lineker's 12th season just kicked off last night, the latest patch 1.3 will be delayed till next month (extended domination of 4-6-0 formation?), and we're still ranked #1 :)

Managers' Manager of the Season

Hanabishi United - Lineker GW

Mats Hummels sign for Hanabishi United

Hanabishi United - Lineker GW

Another new addition to our squad is Mats Hummels, a 30yrs old DC + DM, transferred from Rob Barker's The Tangerine Candyfloss for £1.5mil. Young prospect defender, 18yrs old Vaclav Roscky, left for City Rangers in a £525k + 25% future sell on.

We may sign another player before the new season kicks off (4 days away)

Conclusion to Hanabishi United's season

Although Lineker's season ended last night ours officially ended just a moment earlier as we lost 0-1 in the final game against Ricardo's Carrazeda Ansiaes in the XFF UEFA Champions League. It was a well deserved victory for Ricardo as his side completely overpowered mine, 59% total possession throughout the match!



Ok time for a quick review of our official senior honors haul for season 11:
SUPER Cup of Nations : Rest of the World
SUPER Cup of Nations : World Cup Finals
SUPER English Premier League
SUPER Mega League
SUPER Weekly Cup One
SUPER Weekly Cup Two
UFFA Lineker Cup Winners' Cup
UFFA Lineker World Cup
XFF Barclays Premier League
XFF Carling Cup

Not too bad eh? :)

Oscar Ustari joins Hanabishi United

Hanabishi United - Lineker GW

Managed to sign a new goalkeeper, Oscar Ustari, for £252k today after his previous club placed him in a £1 auction few days ago. He will be replacing Renan for next season's campaign as his contract will run out in the next 48hours as we have decided not to renew his service.

The current season will end tomorrow and we have 3 more finals to play, XFF Champions League against Ricardo's Carrazeda Ansiaes, Lineker World Cup against Tan's Liverpool XI FC, and finally SUPER Mega League against Daz Hagreaves' FC Tensixty (Bojan + Sergio Aguero!). I'm hoping to win at least 1 of them to close our season on a high note.

The Galaticos approach

Hanabishi United - Lineker GW

We have been sitting pretty at #1 for the past few days, I've noticed slight changes to our club's biography. We're now known as Lineker's Galaticos!

Season ends in 2 days time, will do a quick recap of trophies won then :)

Keane GW Season 10 officially ended

The season ended yesterday night, the new season will officially kick off on 13th September. Luckily we do not have any contract problem, yet, as most of our players were signed last season on a two seasons deal, the contract nightmare will kick in at the end of next season though!

We will be looking to bring in 1 or 2 new faces for next season's campaign, depending on how our finance holds up. We might even offload a player if the offer is enticing and of course if there's a ready replacement in hand.

Right now I'm experimenting with 4-2-3-1 + different settings, would love to settle on a permanent formation for next campaign rather than switching from 4-4-2/4-3-2-1/4-6-0, etc. Will need a few days for the squad to get used to them.



A quick recap of trophies won in season 10 :
SUPER Super Mega League B
SUPER Super Weekly Cup Three
UFFA Keane Grassroots Cup
EEFA Early Evening league One A

I'm hoping for better showing next season before my squad gets dismantled by wage auction!
