overall Knap tactics have been always high value. FM Arena proofs that his concept works. But anyone who makes an effort of creating tactics and not calling it a Monster and so on .... deserves credit especially those who recreate real tactical approach.

This fella creates so many overachieving tactics and there are not listed on the FM ARENA. Well, they are just promoting facts no a questionable fairy tale.

@luk4sh31: I think the term fits very well. Which user's tactics would you recommend? For me, GyrFM's tactics have been quite good so far.

@TheAvenger2101 I occasionally watch their channel but I have just turned it on now and noticed that he is publishing videos there too.

I guess when I used the phrase politics couple weeks ago I wasn't wrong.

I just hope it never backfires on them in long term as he really doesn't have a good opinion across different football manager channels.

@luk4sh31: If he doesn't follow the rules, as you yourself say, there's only one reason: His tactics tests from KNAP are shown as videos on the FMScout channel on YouTube, so... If we normal users don't follow the rules, we get notified, warned, and if necessary... banned. I think you can keep testing the tactics, but you'll never really achieve those results. Still, I really respect you for actively doing something about it, but unfortunately, I think it will lead nowhere.

He is also not in line with the section 3 - Taking screenshots and uploading them
You should show some screenshots that showcase the details and the results of your tactic, especially the results.

I guess people see number of downloads and those wonderful titles and think it must be good.
In many cases titles contradict the policy of this website which states for example Using titles such as "The Best Tactic Ever" won't pass here.

Unfortunately page allowed you to download the same file number of times and each time it increases the number of downloads shown. He could just keep downloading it himself to create false perception that his tactics are in demand.

I will keep testing his tactics until I am convinced his results are legit.

I am suprised how people still believe this faker. Every three days he has a MONSTER tactic, a DOMINATE tactic and THE BEST tactic. Most of them when I tried them are LOSERS. And this guy want you to pay for these tactics. So pitty

I'm disappointed with the fact that you didn't upload those tests you are talking about in the tactics description.

It is not a plug and play tactics as well as you are using old version of the game and the new updates (4th and 10th December) introduced number of changes to the match engine.

You should state this when you post on this website as you do on the other one as it might be misleading.

In second simulation Real finished 2nd, eliminated in Round 16 CL 3-2 Arsenal, won Copa de Rey
Leverkusen finished 10th and I was sacked end of the season.

Dude gives all his players 20 attributes and calls his tactic 'meta', 'broken' or 'monster'.

This is what you should display when showing off a tactic hence you never see his tatctics on there !

What surprises me more is that there are constantly more than a thousand idiots who download this.

@TheAvenger2101
Formally, he is not violating anything. He is just publishing a bunch of worthless trash; that is not prohibited.
TheAvenger2101 • 1 month ago

If the website management doesn't take any action against this guy, it's just a joke. As much as I enjoy using the site for the great downloads, whoever lets him upload stuff here... Well, I'll spare you the rest.

Those are bold claims he makes.

Maybe fmscout is happy with the traffic he brings in?
