Introduction:
Welcome to FIFA 10. This game has a total of 44 achievements. The full 1000 will take you at least 50 hours to complete (Real Fan requires you to play the game for 50 hours), but you should prepare for approximately 100 hours with the game to obtain all the achievements.
Also, make sure you keep track of which stadiums you win in, as well as which leagues the clubs you play with/for are located in. Doing this will save you a lot of pain when going for Around The World and Well Traveled.
Step 1: Miscellaneous Achievements (100)
The first achievements you will want get in FIFA 10 is the Arena-related achievements. By scoring 20 goals in the Arena, you will get both Shooting Boots and Still Practising?, and by pressing Select in the Arena you will be taken to the training ground, earning you Practice Makes Perfect. Also, make sure you visit the FIFA 10 Store, as it will give you an easy 5 and the Window Shopping achievement.
Next, start an Exhibition Match. Put the CPU difficulty to Amateur and give yourself a 5 star team and the opponent a ½ star team. Remove all assistance, win the match, and Total Control is yours. Also, make sure you upload a video and a screenshot for Camera Man and Photographer achievements. If you have a second controller, this is also the time to get Hard Earned Win, Grind it Out and Good Friend.
Step 2: Virtual Pro Achievements (80)
What you want to do next is create your Virtual Pro, which will earn you A Star Is Born. Now go visit https://www.easportsfootball.com to create your Game Face. Downloading it to your game gives you Looking Good. Now, over your time with FIFA 10, your Virtual Pro will be able to unlock several accomplishments in order to become the best footballer (hopefully) around. To keep track on which accomplishments there are and which ones you still need to get to get the Skilled Pro achievement (visit this thread for help keeping track).
The next achievement you want to get is the Always Available achievement. This is rather easy as you can just request a sub in the beginning of every match in order to fool the game into believing you didn't simulate a single match.
Step 3: Manager Mode Achievements (470)
Start a new Manager Mode. This is where the most achievement points are, so this will obviously take most of your time to complete. Luckily for you, it is possible to simulate every game (Be sure to turn Autosave off, just in case you lose a game and have to restart). Start by selecting a 5-star team in any league (I chose Manchester United). Be sure to select your Virtual Pro as well, as playing him in Manager Mode will get you the secret achievement Time For A Testimonial, even if it is in several Manager Modes. To be sure your Virtual Pro is selected in each match, just turn the Assistant Manager OFF, and select him in your starting eleven. During a single Manager Mode session (15 seasons) you will have to sign 50 players in order to get the Wheeler Dealer achievement. The first thing you should do is to upgrade your stadium to level 10, earning you Theatre Of Dreams. This is rather expensive, so consider quitting the game after the achievement pops up to get your money back, ready to be spent on new players instead. In your first season with the 5-star club you should get the The Treble and No Pressure. In the following season, you should also net the Double Champs, and if you won enough games/titles, Established.
Next, start a new Manager Mode career in England, I personally did it with Leeds. Make sure you win a promotion in two consecutive seasons to earn the Climbing The Ladder achievement.
Now find a really poor league (Korea, Ireland, Poland, Sweden, Switzerland, Australia), pick a 1 star team and make sure you win the league. This will earn you Limited Resources.
Next, pick any league in Manager Mode, and then select the best club in the league. Your goal is Challenging Schedule, which says you should complete a Manager Mode Season without simming a game. It can be done easily though. Start the game as usual, but instead of playing the match forfeit it. After 8-10 games losing 0-3 automatically, the board will sack you and simulate the rest of the season, earning you the achievement in the end of it.
Patience and skill is all you need to get Phoenix from the Ashes the legit way. If you want to "cheat" in order to get it faster, check this thread. Last, you probably won at least one or two major titles by now, so win the remaining major European Leagues for Globetrotter.
Step 4: Tournament Achievements (10)
Start a new tournament (See the Achievement Guide) and win it with a 1 star team to get Cup Upset.
Step 5: Lounge Mode Achievements (10)
Start a new Lounge Mode. To make life easy, pick a 5 star team for yourself and a ½ star team for the CPU. Put the difficulty to Amateur and just follow the list in the Achievement Guide in order to get the Lounging Around achievement.
Step 6: Online Achievements (225)
And now over to the Online Achievements! Time to show the world how good you got by simulating all those games ;-). Pick a 4 ½ star team in the beginning, as most people pick 5 star teams when you meet them. This will earn you Underdog, Gutsy Call (if you go to extra time and win), and most likely FIFA Fever which spreads like the plague. If it takes several tries to do this, also pick five different 4 ½ star teams in a row to earn Experimental. With these out of the way, pick a 5 star team to make your life easier going for Good Form and Glory Hunter. Next, start a new Online Team Play, aiming for Good Support. By entering a friends' league, win a match and Top of the League? is yours. The last two achievements you are most likely to get online are Ton Up and Bad Loser (If you have no honor, you can get this really quick).
Some online achievements require that you get in a club with other FIFA-players. Doing so will give you a chance to receive Recognise Anyone? and Team Player. Over the course of the game, the last two, Off the Woodwork and Real Fan are doomed to come.
Happy gaming, and good luck getting the full 1000!

Ultimate Team DLC Road Map
Overview:
-Estimated achievement difficulty: 4/10
-Offline: 0
-Online: 10 (250)
-Approximate amount of time to 1000: 25 - 60 hours
-Minimum number of playthroughs needed: N/A
-Number of missable achievements: None!
-Glitched achievements: None!
-Do cheat codes disable achievements?: No cheats!
Step 1: Tournaments (115G)
Firstly, you should just focus on winning all 25 tournaments which should not be too challenging. You can win the same tournament more than once and it still counts. So if you have any problems at all then the easiest tournament is the journeyman cup which is the one on the top left of the first single player page but it only nets you a 400 tournament bonus. Also while doing the tournaments you will recieve Tournament Winner, Tournament Champion, Tournament Legend, Match Winner and A Good Start and possibly even Pack Rat but I didn't.
Step 2: 100 chemistry achievements (45G)
Next, you want to go for Perfect Chemistry, International Unity and Coalition of the Winning. I found that the easiest way of doing this was to go on trading and search for league 2 players for a particular formation (I used 3-5-2 but it doesn't make a difference) and then just make sure you don't have multiple players from the same club or country. It shouldn't cost much more than about 5000 coins.
Step 3: Clear Up (90G)
Finally, is the 2 most time consuming achievements, Pack Rat and Resource King. I will explain more in the achievement guide.
