    @Uchiha7 Hi and thank you for your kind words. I am happy that you still remember my Erik Ten Hag tactic.
    I actually never followed Josh's youtube channel neither used his tactics but he is a member of this site so of course he will never get banned or his posts removed. The site rules are valid for everyone but not for him. I must admit when I check my youtube channel views sources that nearly 80% of my views are coming from this site. It was like this with my old channel and it is the same for my new channel. I tried to avoid posting here because I guess still most of the people who read my post here do not subscribe to my channel because they can just download the tactic here and don't need to watch my video neither to subscribe to my patreon and buy my tactics. That was the main reason that after seeing other creators posting the tactic here with a subunlock.io link that made all people subscribe to their youtube channel I also did that, not knowing that it was against this site rules and with that trick I got from 500 subscribes to 5000 in just 3 months, until Stam (the admin of this site) found it out in august 2024 and he told me he was very disappointed and removed my privileges and all my tactics would have been put in a validation queue and then I made the mistake to delete my channel but I was really frustrated and angry that many creators who did worse tactics than mine had many more followers than I had on youtube and I wanted to give up. After 1 month Stam gave me my privileges back and then I decided to start the new channel in october 2024 but after more than 1 year have only 668 followers. I do this tactic emulations things all on my own and test it playing myself all the games (except friendly preseason) so you will never see me posting 1 tactic a day the most I can do is 2 per week. I try to be as realistic as possible (even if I mostly obtain good results what I want to obtain mainly is the same playing style of the manager). It's not bad if a creator hopes to get money with this contents there is nothing bad, I mean there are a lot of good creators (much better than Josh) who also ask for a patreon subscription or at least a youtube subscription to download their tactics but when I see what is going on and this saga I feel really what I am doing is useless, I love tactical analysis I always loved football since I was a child and football manager since 2006 (and before I played CM 98 and other games) and my love for football has always been one of the most important things in my life. I don't blame Josh to try to get money on his youtube videos and tactic creations but if his tactics do not work and other creators whose tactic works much better (I am saying about other creators who are much better than me one of them being on the path to be a real match analyst in UK) getting not so much space here, that's not right, ( The admin may argue that this is his site and he can host who he wants and if we are not ok with that we can create our site and that actually is not wrong.) Sorry for the long reply, and thank you very much

    @Tikitaka Master (I remember you from your well thought out Erik ten hag tactic)

    Your story breaks my "football manager heart".

    I'm must say, the way I've seen this all play out, I won't be using fmscout to fulfil my FM needs anymore.

    I've seen comments removed ASAP but nobody seems to want to discuss this properly. The admin seems to poke their heads in to police the comments but not the actual content of the site it seems. That's business I suppose.

    I'll be passing by to see how this saga plays out, but I'm done here.

    Ah yes, another “meta” tactic that somehow dominates everything except actual results. At this point it’s less about tactics and more about marketing. If the goal is to hurt the site’s credibility, this partnership is working perfectly.

    Dude is a fraud!

    Of all creators you could team up with I have no idea why you chose this person. His tactics don’t work and he blatantly uses an in game editor. He may be a nice guy but his content isn’t true

    If anyone has any ideas on how to stop people being treated one way and others differently, then I'm all for it. As someone said, this whole thing is pure politics.

    It seems the admin still hasn’t realized that Flashy Josh may be a Trojan horse, potentially damaging the site’s credibility. This concern has been raised multiple times on Reddit.

    @theavenger2101
    yes exactly that's why he continue to post without any queue and last year I had my privileges removed and got to wait queue for my post after Stam found that I used subunlock.io because I wanted people from here to subscribe to my old channel (that I deleted out of frustration after that fact) . I did NOT know that was forbidden to use link to other site as fmf tactic link here (I mean when you hit the download button here the fmf tactic site must be immediately downloaded without redirecting to any other media) but other people were doing it too and were not banned/ removed so I thought it was ok and I apologized to Stam and then he gave me my privileges (post without being putting in queue) back and he took action against the other people too. But he will never take any action against Josh for sure. Besides 2 months ago I posted here my database updated for FM 24 (updated with latest september 2025 transfers) and Stam did not approved it and wrote me a pm where he said I can't have done all alone, if other databases creators struggle to do it. But I always update the database with fm pre game editor by myself every year since 2006 (that was the year I started playing Football Manager) but he didn't approve it. I don't need to add anything else I guess. The fact that creators like myself with good tactics have only nearly 700 subscribers to youtube channel ( I guess the youtube algorithm does not like me.... )and Josh with his tactics has tons of subscribers is something that I really don't like and that made me think many times about not posting on this site anymore

    The best FM tactical mastermind is back! Unfortunately, this tactic didn’t win the quadruple or any major cups, but it’s still the best.
    This time, it’s called “Meta”, a keyword often used by the creator to get people to download the tactic.
    His tactics are plug-and-play and come with a guaranteed success rate. However, his tactics never appear at the top of the FM Arena site for downloads. Why?
    … I think we all know why.

    @nicolas_om: Forget it, he also makes videos on the YouTube channel FMScout, he's part of it, they won't do anything here, but I feel for you.

    Dear site administration, can you still ban him from writing for at least a month? The person is obviously mentally ill. Something needs to be done about this.
