Der Fuhrer1604664276 Posted October 9, 2011 Share Posted October 9, 2011 (edited) Does anyone know what the cheapest possible squad is that will net you the "Big Cup" Squad Achievement? I looked around the market and came up with this squad but not sure if it will unlock the achievement or if it will unlock the achievement, if it is the cheapest squad that will. ST: Rossi (Villarreal) – 8k ST: Pedro (FC Barcelona) – 12k RM: Reyes (Atletico Madrid) – 7k CM: Sahin (Real Madrid) – 9k CM: Cambiasso (Inter) – 8k LM: Hazard (LOSC Lille) – 15k RB: Nesta (Milan) – 5k CB: Samuel (Inter) – 10k CB: Lucio (Inter) – 25k LB: Ashley Cole (Chelsea) – 25k GK: Buffon (Juventus) – 10k SUB: Akinfeev (GK – CSKA Moskva) – 3k SUB: Diego Lopez (GK – Villarreal) – 3k SUB: Adler (GK – Bay. Leverkusen) – 3k SUB: Gotze (CAM – Bor. Dortmund) – 3k SUB: Santi Cazorla (RM – Malaga) – 2k SUB: Nene (LM – PSG) – 4k SUB: Hamsik (CAM – Napoli) – 3k TOTAL COST: 155k Notes: Hazard and Reyes should be bought as LW and RW respectively Rossi should be bought as a CF Pedro should be bought as a LW Cambiasso should be bought as a CDM Nesta is a CB playing out of position This has a Starting 11 with all players at 85 and all 84 rated players on the bench which is what I was told was needed to unlock the achievement. EDIT 10/30/11: I went to the liberty of price checking Bergentz's squad with the market as it stands at the end of October, THIS IS BERGENTZ SQUAD, all credit for it goes to him. GK - Stekelenburg (85) 4k GK - Valdes (85) 4k CB - Nesta (85) 2k CB - Hummels (84) 2k CDM - Cambiasso (85) 3k CM - Nuri Sahin (85) 3k RM - Farfán (84) 1k RW - Reyes (85) 3k CF - Rossi (85) 4k ST - Lisandro Lopez (84) 1k ST - Gomez (86) 7k Subs (all 84): CM - Joao Moutinho 1k CAM - Danny 750c CAM - Mario Götze 1k RM - Santi Cazorla 1k CAM - Hamsik 1k GK - Adler 1k GK - Akinfeev 1k TOTAL COST: 40,750 coins Edited October 30, 2011 by Der Fuhrer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bergentz Posted October 9, 2011 Share Posted October 9, 2011 I just unlocked it using this squad: GK - Stekelenburg (85) GK - Valdes (85) CB - Nesta (85) CB - Hummels (84) CDM - Cambiasso (85) CM - Nuri Sahin (85) RM - Farfán (84) RW - Reyes (85) CF - Rossi (85) ST - Lisandro Lopez (84) ST - Gomez (86) Subs (all 84): CM - Joao Moutinho CAM - Danny CAM - Mario Götze RM - Santi Cazorla CAM - Hamsik GK - Adler GK - Akinfeev The most expensive player was Gomez for 15k, everyone else was cheaper than 10k. All 84 players cost around 3k, and the 85 around 6000-9000. So around 100,000 coins for the whole squad. EDIT: It doesn't matter which positions everybody plays in, it's not affecting the average rating, so I didn't buy any LB och RB because they are so expensive.

Is that like the cheapest possible squad or no?Depending on which one you are talking about, I think Bergentz's squad is pretty close, the market fluctuates as well, all the prices I put by my post were done at like 7 pm GMT when a lot of people are on, but it may change depending on when you try and buy the players.

But I would change Ricardo Carvalho for Farfan (RM - Schalke, usually goes for about 2k), Hummels for Hernanes (CAM - Lazio, 3k) and Nene for Danny (CAM - Zenit, Russian League, 2k) to cut the price even more. Other than that it looks like the cheapest team if I'm not forgetting someone. EDIT: Also change Samuel or Buffon for Stekelenburg (GK, Roma, 8k) Edited October 9, 2011 by Bergentz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FreeFool Posted October 10, 2011 Share Posted October 10, 2011 I am stuck on 84. I dont get the maths on this one as i have to put in a lesser rated player, which results in lesser chemistry, yet the rating rises with the better player on the bench. It prefers Abiati over Steklenberg. I am struggling to get a decent RB and LB, who are currently 82 and 81. I can make a squad from 83's and above but the rating is higher when i include those full backs and drop a couple of 83's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can make a squad from 83's and above but the rating is higher when i include those full backs and drop a couple of 83's. I was having the same trouble also when I first started going for this, I would try and put van bommel (82) and leidson (83) onto my subs bench in place of 81 rated players and it would drop my rating from 84 to 83. I am still only on 84 now, but i have alot more 84s and 85s now so it doesnt seem to happen anymore. I am saving up to buy lham as I need a rb, and I am hoping his 87 will do the trick!

FreeFool Posted October 10, 2011 Share Posted October 10, 2011 Yep, i think i need to save up for a big signing but i fear it will have to be a La Liga full back (or two), who are going for ridiculous amounts. Unless i abandon getting a player in the right position and put a high rated GK at RB or something! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gazmaster1 Posted October 10, 2011 Share Posted October 10, 2011 From my experience of playing UT put the highest rated players on the pitch regardless of position, the second highest on the bench and the rest as reserves. I just got the achievement with this squad and a chemistry of 44. I kept check of how I got the players and opened around 16 gold, special gold and free packs including what I had in the week before launch online: Pato ST 85(acquired in special gold pack) Tevez ST 88(acquired in my first free packs) Ashley Young LW 85(acquired in special gold pack) Nasri CAM 86 (acquired in special gold pack) Pastore CAM 83 (bought for 650) Farfan RW 84 (bought for 1600) Danny Miguel CAM 84 (bought for 2500) Walter Samuel CB 85 (acquired in one of my free packs) Joao Filipe CM 84 (bought for 2500) Marek Hamsik CAM 84 (bought for 1800) Petr Cech GK 85 (acquired in special gold pack) SUBS: Zanetti CDM 82 (bought for 800) Wiese GK 83 (bought for 1000) Montillo CAM 82 (bought for 750) Stewart Downing LM 82 (acquired in gold pack) Adam Johnson LW 82 (acquired in gold pack) Liedson ST 83 (bought for 700) Pirlo CM 83 (acquired in gold pack) RES: Joaquin RW 81 (acquired in special gold pack) Tim Howard 81 (acquired in special gold pack) Landon Donovan ST 81 (acquired in free pack) Miroslav Klose ST 81 (acquired in special gold pack) D'Alessandro CAM 81 (bought for 700) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JDAckers Posted October 11, 2011 Share Posted October 11, 2011 Earlier I saw a Mario Gotze (84) sell for 650 coins! Bargain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FreeFool Posted October 11, 2011 Share Posted October 11, 2011 To my surprise I got the achievement last night. I have a number of players rated 82 and 83 but the chemistry is in the 90’s, so I wonder if that did help; GK Stekelenberg 85 LB Fabio Contrao 82 CB Nesta 85 CB Samuel 85 RB Sergio Ramos 85 CDM Mascherano 86 CDM Alonso 86 CAM Hamsik 84 CAM Hernanes 84 CF Suarez 85 ST Forlan 84 GK Abiati 83 CB Toure 83 CDM Vidal 83 CAM Boateng 82 CF Cassano 83 CF Muller 83 ST Barrios 83 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gazmaster1 Posted October 11, 2011 Share Posted October 11, 2011 @freefool I dont think chem has any impact at all. my squad has a few 81 and 82 rated players in there and the chem is only 44. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack101 Posted October 11, 2011 Share Posted October 11, 2011 Does anyone know of an 85 team that has a theme to it for the cheapest amount possible? Because after I get the team I'll be wanting to play with it instead of selling them all :\ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FreeFool Posted October 12, 2011 Share Posted October 12, 2011 (edited) My squad can get a chemistry of 90 with a rating of 85, or chem at 97 but the rating goes down to 82 or 83 (using lesser rated Milan LB and CB I think). I am using a 4-2-3-1 formation (which is faulty in the game if anyone's noticed). Half of my squad is most certainly cheap, i did have to pay big money for Suarez, Masch and Sergio Ramos. Samuel, Forlan and Muller were all middle ground (10-15K) The rest I am sure were under 10K, a few of those were under 5K. I did get Alonso and Toure in packs, so i would estimate my squad may take around 200K to assemble. Edited October 12, 2011 by FreeFool Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Morbido Posted October 14, 2011 Share Posted October 14, 2011 This is an excellent thread. Ive got a suggestion that would make this cheevo easier to attain. Do it in a group. The more the merrrier. If theres only two of you the cost is halved, four of you and it will only cost 26k (the guy said it would be round about 104k). You all buy certain players, trade them to your mates, then sell or keep when your done. Make sure its done with people you trust however or you could get burnt.

Boomerang Cat Posted October 19, 2011 Share Posted October 19, 2011 This Thread will be very useful if I decide to go for this Achievement. I'm glad the search option on xbox360achievements.org works so well, as I remember seeing it a week ago and then other New Threads pushed it down and out of sight.
