This achievement can be quite challenging, even with a boosting partner or 2nd controller. The way I managed to get it was too aim for the top corner nearest to the keeper (so you dont have to worry about putting the ball over the wall). When shooting, hold , and fill your power bar about 1/4 of the way up. If it doesn't work first time, just keep trying, it'll come eventually. You can also unlock the "In Off" achievement by doing this, just as I did.

You are given a freekick when the opposing teams fouls you anywhere on the pitch apart from the penalty area.

This is very easy to do if you get yourself a boosting partner or 2nd controller. Just have the other person bring their keeper out () and shoot from around the kick off spot by holding .

If you dont already know, a penalty is awarded when you are fouled in the opposition penalty area. Just play a cup game and purposely let the game go to penalties, as long as you score 1, you'll unlock the achievement.

Or, if you cant be bothered doing that just get a boosting partner/2nd controller and get them to give you a penalty. If you're lucky you'll get this by just playing, but these 2 methods are extremely easier.

This doesn't need much explaining, all you have to do is score a goal with your head, you can either do this by crossing the ball into the box and pressing , or taking a corner and pressing . It'll come in time.

This achievement is simple, just score a goal with a defender, if you’re not sure who is and isn’t a defender, press pause and go to team management and look at your team, defenders are players who are either, LB, LCB, LWB, CB, SW, RCB, RWB or RB. Also, defenders will have small yellow icons next to their names in team management.

Can be done with 2 pads.

Not too hard, when your about to shoot, hold + and your player should chip the ball over the keeper into the net. Shouldn't take more than a few tries.

Can be done with 2 pads.

For this on I suggest using a boosting partner or it'll take ages.

Give the ball to your winger and run down the wing, just before you run out of play, cross it by double tapping . As the ball is coming to your player hold and double tap . This IS a hard acheivement, but will come with hard work. If you haven't got it already, you should unlock the "What a beauty" achievement as well. I scored with a scissor kick on a half volley and it unlocked

For this achievement, you must score a goal, BUT, before you score, the ball must hit the post or bar before going in.

This pretty hard, I got mine at the same time as the freekick achievement, apart from that, I dont really know what else to suggest.

Can be done with 2 pads.

For this, pick Chelsea as your team (if you want is a.s.a.p) as Drogba is the player who does diving headers the most on the game. Try to play against a rubbish team, like Aldershot or Barnet (Both Coca-cola league 2).

I've been told that the best way to get this achievement is to give you're opponent a corner, then, once the corner has been taken, win the ball and fast break (Basically give it to one of your wingers and leg it). Once to get to around the edge of the penalty area, double tap to cross the ball, and double tap to do a diving header. If you successfully perform a diving header, the player will land on his chest. Once it goes in, achievement unlocked.

Not really anything to explain, when you get a corner, fill your power bar about 3/4 of the way up and keep tapping , if you win the ball you're player will either head it or volley it, and if the ball goes in, achievement unlocked.

You don't have to score from the actual corner kick and can be done with 2 pads.

Have one of your players run down the wing and cross the ball in (), and press to shoot, this may take a few tries but you'll get a goal eventually.

To see a cross being performed, see this video:

Can be done with 2 pads.

A volley is when you shoot without letting the ball hit the ground, in other words, in mid-air. The easiest way to perform a volley is to cross the ball into the box, and double tap when facing towards the goal. The ball MUST hit the back of the net before hitting the ground.

To see a volley being performed, check this video:
http://www.eafootballworld.com/en_GB/video/976725

Can be done with 2 pads.

The easiest way to get this would be to be boost or use a seond controller, and give away a penalty, but make sure that you tell each other what you're doing.

Or, if you dont have a boosting partner, you can play a cup match (Or normal k.o, I did it in a cup game on manager mode) and purposely let the match go to penalties, then work your way from there, you'll probaly save at least one.

Really simple, start any match and play for a few minutes. After about 5 minutes, press Start. From here go to Instant Replay and let it load up, re-wind the video to the start and then press the button, choose a slot for it to go in and wait for it to upload, once it gets to 100%, the achievement will pop up. This can also be done in the arena.

Pretty self-explanatory, just score a goal in the 89th minute of a match, if your not sure, the 89th minute is from 89:00 - 89:59 on the game clock.

Or, find yourself a boosting partner, and just before the 89th minute, have him/her bring their keeper out (), leaving you to just put the ball into an empty net.

Can be done with 2 pads.

You cannot have the second pad score an own goal, you must score yourself.

Start a new match and for your team choose a team with a rating of 1/2 star. I myself used Bury. For the opposition pick a 5 star team, I picked Chelsea. Just play through the match and win. The achievement will pop up at the end.

Can be done with 2 pads.

Ok for this achievement, the first thing you have to do is get one of your players sent off. You get a player sent off by commiting fouls, the easiest way to do this is to just slide the opposition player (), by doing this you will usually get either a yellow card or a straight red card. If you get a yellow card, just do the same thing again, meaning you will get another yellow card, 2 yellow cards = red card = sent off.

Once you have your player sent off, you must then win the current match. I found the easiest way to do this achievement was to score a few goals and take the lead, and then get a man sent off. This way you dont have to worry about scoring with 10 players instead of 11.

Can be done with 2 pads.

Ok, to do this achievement, do the following:

Main Menu ===> Game Modes
Game Modes ===> Tournament Mode
Tournament Mode ===> Create Tournament

Set the tournament to the following:
Knockout
Number Of Team: 64
Auto Fill Teams: No
Tournament Name: (whatever you want, I left mine blank)
Advanced Settings: On

On the next page, just change the "Fixtures V Each Team" to 1.

When filling in the teams, pick someone good like Man United, Chelsea, Barcelona, Inter Milan etc. Then for all the other teams choose teams from Coca Cola League 2 in England. From here on, you can either play all 6 matches or... sim all your matches.

If you've followed what I mentioned to do when choosing teams this should be easy, but just incase, save your game before every match. If you sim and lose, immediately turn your Xbox off if you have autosave enabled. Easier if you turn of autosave and just save after every win and reload if you lose.

For this one, do the following steps:
Main Menu ===> Game Modes
Game Modes ===> Tournament Mode
Tournament Mode ===> Create Tournament

Then choose:

Knockout
Number Of Team: 16
Auto Fill Teams: No
Tournament Name: (whatever you want, I left mine blank)
Advanced Settings: On

For your team pick a team rated one star (I have highlighted the best ones in red IMO), all one star rated teams are:

Turn autosave off and sim each match and save after each win and reload if you lose.

If you follow this guide you will get the achievements quickly and simply.

The easiest way to do this this is the following:

Main Menu > Game Modes > Manager Mode > New Manager Mode

Choose Manchester United as your team. (Barclays Premier League). Leave all options as default, but change your currency to dollar ($). Pick any sponsor. Create a new save and save your manager mode.

From the main manager mode screen go to Menu ( ). Go to Transfer Central, then to transfer market. Press to search and choose detailed. Only change minimum overall to 85. Then submit search. If you've done everything right, a list of players should come up. Find Kaka and submit a bid for him (set the price to the highest it will go, and set the wages to the highest they wil go too).

***** "Huge Return" Achievement Part ****
Go back to Transfer Central and choose Transfer List.
Find Cristiano Ronaldo, and change his status to "For Sale".
*********************************************

Go back to the main manager mode screen. Sim your next match.

First of all you should receive a bid for Cristiano Ronaldo, if its over $50 million, sell him, and immediately the achievement "Huge Return" should pop up. If the bid isn't over $50 Mil, just sim the next match and again you should get another offer. You will also more than likely sign Kaka, and if you did it for over $50, that achievement should pop up to.

See "Huge Investment".

Pretty self explanatory, just sign 50 players all together in manager mode. It doesn't have to be done in one season, it is done over the course of the 15 seasons you spend in manager mode. I've found that the easiest way of doing this is to start a new manager mode with Manchester United. From here, go to the transfer market, and search (Detailed) Min Overall: 5 and Max. Overall: 50.

Then, just submit bids for any player's on that list that shows up, make sure you set your bid to the highest, and the players wages to the highest. Then, go back and sim your game. Afterwards, you'll receive messages off the board saying which players you've signed and who you've not signed. If you dont sign some one, dont worry, just go back to the transfer market and search again.

You cannot sign free agents or scouted players.

Once the transfer market shuts, just sim all your games until its open again, and repeat what you've been doing, if you run out of players on the Min: 5 Max: 50 list as you go along, change it to Min: 5 Max: 60.

Self explanatory, you must complete a season without simming any matches. That mean that you must play every match (Including Cup Games etc.) from start to finish.

If you want to do it as quickly as possible, choose Sydney Fc as your team when you start. (Sydney FC are in the Australian A-League). The Australian A-League is the smallest league on the game therefore it'll be quicker to do than the Premiership for example. It only has 25 league games. Quite time consuming but keep at it and you'll have it quicker than you'd expect.

The easiest way to do this is to get a friend to use a second controller, set up an exhibition match, and both move your controller to the same side.
Once it starts, you win the ball and run down the wing. When neccersary, cross the ball in to your friend () and get him to score. If it doesn't work, just keep trying until your friend manages to score.

If you have one, you can have a 3rd controller control the team your playing against and just leave it, and you can also bing the keeper out with that 3rd controller if it helps. This can also be done in be-a-pro mode, and be-a-pro mode online, and online clubs. As long as you provide a cross and one of your team mates scores you'll get this.

Simple enough, just win one match in every stadium in the game. There are 49 stadiums in the game, they are:

Allianz Arena
Aloha Park
Anfield
Bayarena
Camp Nou
Crown Lane
El Bombastico

To start an Interactive League game follow these steps:

Main Menu > Xbox Live > Online Game Modes > Interactive Leagues

Some people have reported this to be glitched, but this seems to have been fixed thanks to tattie:

"From playing tonight, someone quit on me so I went to their GC to send them an abusive message and it said they were playing an Xbox Live game, I know for sure when you play in the Interactive League it actually says I.Leagues, so I thought these games are counting as ranked and not I. Leagues.

More evidence, I have played I. League matches where if its a draw at the end of the match it ends because its a league, you don't do extra time, but some of the games do go into extra time which leads me to believe the MM system is not giving you I. Leagues all the time.

I believe this big bug only happens in the German leagues as I only have ever won 1 game in the French league, and got the achievement after winning in Germany.

To make sure you get an I. League match, Private Chat someone and ask them to view your GC while you play and if its says I. league, win the match. I can also confirm that you have to win a match in each league.

Basically, you know if you had a league match because when you press start it says "Return to League Community Screen."

Self explanatory really, just win a ranked match on Xbox Live. You can either go on:

Ranked Quick Match.
BAP: Online Team Play
Fifa 09 Clubs
Online Leagues
Interactive Leagues

Whatever game mode you choose, just pick a strong team, and try your best to win. If your struggling to get a match find yourself a boosting partner.

Ok, for this one, you just have to win with manual settings, if your not sure how to do this, then follow this:

Main Menu > My FIFA 09 > Settings > Xbox 360 Controller Settings

When you reach the 360 controller settings, change the following:
Auto Switching: All the way down (Move the bar as far left as it'll go)
Pass Assistance: Manual
Through Pass Assistance: Manual
Shot Assistance: Manual
Cross Assistance: Manual
Lob Pass Assistance: Manual

Once you've done all this, go to the main menu and start a normal kick off match. Just win the game and the achievement should pop up at the end.

Self explanatory really, just win one online league match, if you don't know how to start an online league game, follow these steps:

Main Menu > Xbox Live > Online Game Modes > Online Leagues

If you are struggling to find a league or win a league match, you can use the Achievement Trading Thread, I'm sure there's someone else who is willing to help you get these if you help them.

This achievement must be done in a "Be-A-Pro" season, if you don't want it to take hours, then this is how I did it quickly.

Start off by going to transfers, pick any team to start, it doesn't matter. Once the transfer window comes up, press to search for players, choose detailed, and change the "Min Ovr." to 85. A list of about 6 pages should come up. You want to put all the following players in Sydney FC:

IKER Casillas - 91 (Spain)
Javier Zanetti - 86 (Argentina)
Lucio - 87 (Brazil)
Alessandro Nesta - 88 (Italy)
Phillip Lahm - 85 (Germany)
Carles Puyol - 88 (Spain)
Cristiano Ronaldo - 89 (Portugal)
Franck Ribery - 88 (France)
Kaka - 90 (Brazil)
Zlatan Ibrahimovic - 89 (Sweden)
Francesco Totti - 86 (Italy)

Then go into squads, and put these all as starters on Sydney FC and use the 4-1-2-1-2 formation (Main Menu ===> Manage Team ===> Team Management). Then choose any player off the starters and make them captain, I would suggest "Christiano Ronaldo" as he is by far the best player. But, if you choose someone else, make sure to also make sure to make the capital of their national country!

Once done, start a new "Be A Pro" season with Sydney FC, for your player select who ever you made captain. From there on in, simulate every single one of your matches, and this along with "Club God" should unlock along the way of the 4 seasons. I managed to get Club God after 2 seasons. At the end of the 4 seasons, you must win the Be-A-Pro world cup thingy to unlock "Living Legend". So I suggest that you play these matches, just to be sure, because many people have lost out here by simming their Be-A-Pro cup matches.

Just follow my instructions for "Living Legend". This will unlock along the way.

For this achievement, you must win all the Offline Tournaments. If you cycle through the tournament page, every second trophy will have Offline Cup written above, those are the ones you must win all the way to gold.

There are six tournaments including the "World Trophy" shown above. You must win four matches in a row in each stage of the tournament. For example, win four matches in a row and you will have the bronze trophy, win another four you will have silver, and finally win four more and you will have gold trophy. Rinse and Repeat for all other five trophies and the achievement will pop after winning the final tournament.

For this achievement, you first must select the correct tournament, go to club tournament and cycle through the trophies. When you find the tournament named "World Trophy", it should have Offline Cup written above it.

After finding the tournament, you now must win it. These Offline tournaments are against the CPU, so if you want a stroll in the park, set the CPU difficulty to Amateur, but be warned you will receive only 500 coins per match with a 9-0 win.

Each trophy has three stages, bronze, silver and gold. Before you can tackle the gold tournament you must win the bronze and silver. To win a tournament you must win 4 matches. For example, win four matches in a row and you will have the bronze trophy, win another four you will have silver, and finally win four more and you will have gold trophy.

All of the online tournaments will be shown with "Online Cup" written above the name, there are six in total.

To win them all you must follow the same procedure as for the "Club Tournament Mastery" achievement, but instead playing against other online gamers.

Tips for Online Tournaments

- Team Chemistry is everything, play players in the correct positions, use the most common favourite formation and use players from the same country.

- Pace is key, at the moment I have two bad strikers but with pace stats of 87 and 89. This results in me getting lots of 1v1 against the keepers. My most recent tournament win had my results 12-0, 5-0, 6-0 and 2-0.

- Pace at the back, a lot of the time you will come against players with good fast strikers. Having fast defenders is critical i.e. don't play John Terry!

- Don't Get Frustrated, I have been in a lot of finals/semi-finals only to lose when I get annoyed, stay calm, if you got to final you can win it! Not that you need reminding, never quit! If you do you will lose a contract and your coins. Take defeat on the chin like a man and win next time!

To find this tournament, cycle through the tournament and look for the one named "Ultimate Team Trophy" it should also have "Online Cup" written above it,

This achievement is identical to the "World Trophy" shown above, but instead of playing the CPU you will have to play against other online players.

For this achievement, all you need to do is buy a silver pack for either 2500 coins or pay 40 Microsoft Points. After opening the pack the achievement will pop.

You must have played at least six matches to be able to purchase a silver pack.

Similar to the Silver Packs achievement, although for this one you will need either 5000 coins or 80 Microsoft Points.

You must have played at least twelve matches to be able to purchase a gold pack.

For this achievement, there are two possible ways of obtaining a sliver rated stadium. First, you could be lucky and get one in a pack that you buy, or you could go onto trade and search under "Club Info Cards" and pick one up on the cheap.

For this achievement, you will have to complete a team collection including eleven different players, the home kit, the away kit and the teams badge. You will need to use "Trade" a lot for this. The players are relatively easy to find as the search function contains a lot of filter, but finding the kits and the badge is time consuming. I would recommend picking a lower skilled team and sticking to that team. I have had numerous PM's asking for a specific team to pick, this is entirely up to you, but I personally chose Stoke City because I got the home and away kit easily. My suggestion would be find a lower ranked team that you already have a decent amount of cards with and choose them. Remember to search for cheap players.

You can check your Collection progress by going to Trading Menu, then selecting "The Collection."

If you are having trouble finding items to complete your collection, post your request here, our official card trading thread.

After playing a while, you will start to buy more and more gold packs, resulting in your team improving. Once you have collected 11 gold players, the achievement will pop. There is no need to have a starting 11 filled with gold players, just 11 gold players in your squad.

This achievement like the "Bigger Venue" achievement can be obtained via two methods, you pick a manager up in a pack that you purchase from the shop/marketplace or you can visit the trading center and search under the "Manager" section and find one relatively cheap.
