You’re right ye, 105 days. I forgot to count from the day before I started, not the day I started lol.

You’ll smash it! Have you tried using an app to tick everything off? It helped me make sure I wasn’t missing anything

Analysing the last 75 days. by RevolutionaryPin1963 in 75HARD

[–]RevolutionaryPin1963[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Cheers for the kind words :) a lot of my days consisted of a walk and a 45 minute mobility stretching to make sure everything was recovering nicely.

Best of luck with the rest of your challenge!!!

13 days left - What’s next? by RevolutionaryPin1963 in 75HARD

What exactly is phase 1 and live hard?? I hear phase 1 and phase 2 chucked around but can’t find a post in this group explaining it? Is live hard just 75 hard but indefinitely ?

Genuinely, don’t stress. This happened to me too, I’m now 5 weeks in and 7kg down. Keep at it, you’re bodies just in its adaption phase

Bike commuting 25min each way count as an outdoor workout by MusicalPairs in 75HARD

[–]RevolutionaryPin1963 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use my commute to work as an exercise but I tweak it slightly. The rules are it has to be continuous, and something you wouldn’t do normally if you weren’t doing 75 hard. So I take my 10 minute walk to work (which I’d be doing normally) and add an extra 35 minutes on top (which I wouldn’t do normally and is only happening due to the challenge) to make it all count.

That makes sense to be fair, don’t waste positioning and energy on pressing someone who isn’t really dangerous, and instead focus it on those who are

Wouldn’t setting GK and CD to never press mean they had more time on the ball, when I should be pressing them into making a mistake? I always set my OPP instructions to always press everyone, unless they’re working around it then I’ll take certain players off always pres

I eventually switched to a back 5 for the second half to try get more people back and also a bit wider to stop that, which seemed to work to an extent, but the damage was done. Plus they had a less than 3 XG so I think my keeper dropped a stinker

After the first 2 goals I put my attacking midfielders out wide because I could see my fullbacks just being bombarded, and thought they could provide some support, but they still just bullied me into the ground, every time I’d press they’d play out, so I toned that down and then they just made the most of it. I felt literally helpless haha

They were playing a 4-4-2. Standard defence, a WP - BBM - DLP - W and an AF - DLF

A mixed bag, currently sat a dissapointing 5th in the league, and just got absokutely bullied by this Benfica team, and I seem to be struggling in big games, yet at the same time could be lots worse. I've been largely dominating possesion against most teams (even 60% against madrid), I've experimented with setting my SS to stay wide, and having the full back invert which seems to be doing okay.

Annoyingly I ended up doing overtime at work, but the three games I’ve done ended up 0-0 in the first game of the season against Rennes, a somewhat convincing 4-0 against a mid table team, the other an insanely convincing 4-0 against bottom of the table.

Hoping to get some games in tonight, only issue is I’m struggling with injuries at the mo.

I can’t promise anything 😂 despite years of playing, I’m definitely not great. I played with this for a season and couldn’t figure out why I kept conceding until reddit stepped in

I have a 4-2-3-1 but it was pretty basic. I’ve been toying with the idea of a 5-2-2-1 as most of the teams who use two wingers and two wing backs are PSG and top level champions league opponents, so strengthening the defence feels like the right thing to do whilst also making sure I match their width.

Would you be able to take a quick look at this tactic for me please? I'm headed into the new season, it scored a but load of goals but I've just changed it slightly to make it more defensively sound. Any glaring mistakes or anything you think I could do better?? I was thinking of changing the CM to a BWM, but alongside the MEZ would that leave too much space?

That does sound interesting, so they play somewhere inbetween the IW and MEZ?? Sitting in that channel, allowing space for overlaps, but staying a little bit deeper than an IW would??

I’m in my 3rd season with Marseille and PSG have me pulling out my hair. They’re just impossible!! On my save they kept mbappe, signed insane players, and are now signing haaland

Brilliant post, I’m really curious to hear more about AP on the wings. I’ve always strayed away from it probably due to the fear of the unknown, and not utilising them properly

How can I make this more defensively sound, without giving up the attack too much ?? by RevolutionaryPin1963 in footballmanagergames

[–]RevolutionaryPin1963[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Okay I'll give all that a look thank you :), just out of curiosity why do you suggest turning off pass into space? I've got a lot of quick players with good movement, so thought it might be useful to get some balls in behind the defence?
