Achievement Guide: Football Manager 2006

There are 50 achievements with a total of 1000 points.

5 Players In Team Of The Week10
You will need to have 5 players named in a team of the week
A good performance by your team will result in 5 players being in the team. A 4 or 5 nil win is usually about right. Dont' get alarmed if you win by 4 or 5 goals and only get 3 or 4 players in, because some weeks, the computer teams have really good games as well and edge you out of this one. Will come with time if you build up a strong team.
5 Clean Sheets In A Row10
Your team will need to not concede a goal for 5 league games in a row
I did this in my first 5 games as Liverpool boss due to their top class defence. As far as I'm aware, they have to be competitive games, so Liverpool is an ideal opportunity to do this at the very start because they have to play the 6 qualifiers for the European Cup against poor opposition.
Manager Of The Month5
You will need to win a Manager Of The Month award to unlock this achievement
Winning all the league games in the month will more than likely net you this achievement. Some months, you may play less games than other teams and so may not be able to win it so don't be alarmed if you miss out. Just keep on performning well in the league and you will net you this achievement. Be careful though as some leagues don't have manager of the month awards, take the Netherlands for example. Can't get on holiday.
10 Manager Of The Month Awards20
You will need to win Manager Of The Month 10 times to unlock this achievement
Just simply do the above achievement ten times. Remember, league games are the only games that count. Can't get on holiday.
Manager Of The Year15
You will need to win a Manager Of The Year award to unlock this achievement
I found when playing through this game a stupid amount of times, that the team who won the league, the manager generally got Manager Of The Year, so simply do that and you shouldn't go wrong. Can't get on holiday.
5 Manager Of The Year Awards35
You will need to win Manager Of The Year 5 times to unlock this achievement
Complete the above achievement 5 times for this award. 5 league wins should do this. In the same save as well. Can't get on holiday.
Goal Of The Month Award5
One of your players will need to collect a goal of the month award
A totally random achievement that you can't control the outcome of. Just have some world class midfielders and set them to take long shots (team tactics then individual player tactics). Eventually you will receive this.
10 Goal Of The Month Awards20
Your team will need to collect 10 goal of the month awards
Just perform the goal of the month 10 times. Hints are above.
10 Matches Without Losing10
Your team will need to play 10 competitive matches in a row without losing
As the achievement says. This includes all competitive matches, league and cups, both European and domestic, qualifiers count as well. Having problems? Just save before every game and if you lose, reload.
Win A Match2
You will need to win a competitive match to unlock this achievement.
Simple. Just win your first match, no matter what score, just win.
10 Match Winning Streak15
Your team will need to win 10 competitive matches in a row to unlock this achievement
Win ten competitive matches in a row. This includes all competitive matches, league and cups, both European and domestic, qualifiers count as well. Will more than likely pick this up if you are to do the treble, if not, just save before every game and if you lose or draw, reload.
5 Seasons At One Club5
You will need to stay at a club for 5 seasons to unlock this achievement
First of the 3 tough achievements which get progressively harder. You only have to stay in charge of the club for 5 years, but this can be a task if you are not fulfilling the boards and especially the fans requirements. Do that and you should be alright reaching this first milestone at a club. For more details on these, see "20 Seasons At One Club".
10 Seasons At One Club15
You will need to stay at a club for 10 seasons to unlock this achievement
Now you need to build on the success of the previous achievement but double your time at the club. This is a tough achievement as towards the end on the decade at the club, chances are you will have lost most of your good players through either them not being good enough because of age, or retirement. So I recommend at 5-7 seasons in, you buy a couple of decent teens and slowly work them in to the squad so that the retirement of the star players doesn't hit you too bad.
20 Seasons At One Club25
You will need to stay at a club for 20 seasons to unlock this achievement

WARNING - ONLY FOR THE TRUE HARDCORE -

First up, let me lay down some of the do's and don'ts...

DO save often over numerous saves, the last thing you want is to get sacked in the 19th season. This way, with numerous saves, if you have saved it when the club and your job status is irrepairable, you can always go back a save or two.

DON'T expect to think you can just go on holiday for long periods and come back to your club and everything running smoothly. Things happen and the assistant manager can be a little stupid at times, like resting key players for key games and playing fairly useless young kids instead of the better ones.

Which club to choose? Well, I personally did it with Liverpool and was flying for ten seasons and then when the core of your team retires, things get a little tough, but, if you can buy quality (look out for minimum fee release clauses) especially if they're young then try the big club, but be warned, you must be successful . You may be better off at a lower team and building an empire slowly cause this way, the club and board won't expect much off you. Just keep playing and playing and playing and saving regularly, but this will take a long time indeed.

5 Xbox Live Games6
Play 5 cups or tournaments on Xbox Live to unlock this achievement
See "First XBox Live Game" for details.
20 Xbox Live Games10
Play 20 cups or tournaments on Xbox Live to unlock this achievement
See "First XBox Live Game" for details.
50 Xbox Live Games20
Play 50 cups or tournaments on Xbox Live to unlock this achievement

First Xbox Live Game3
Unlock this achievement when you play your first cup or tournament on Xbox Live
Play the mentioned number of cups or tournaments over Live. Note, you don't have to win, it's the taking part that counts. Set up a cup with two teams and work your way through it. Note, can take a long time for the 20 and especially the 50!!
Win an Xbox Live Cup10
You will need to win an Xbox Live Cup to unlock this achievement
Simply win an XBox Live Cup for this. Just set it to one match, no home and away, two teams and you should have this after winning just the one game.
Win an Xbox Live League15
You will need to win an Xbox Live League to unlock this achievement
Simply win an XBox Live League for this. Just set it to one match, no home and away, two teams and you should have this after winning just the one game.
Goal Of The Season Award20
One of your players will need to collect a goal of the season award
You need to score an unbelievable goal for this. This is another random achievement that you will eventually get. Wayne Rooney seems to score a good amount of these, so it might be worth trying to sign him or starting a career at Manchester United.
Sign A Player1
You will need to sign a player for your team to unlock this achievement
Simply sign a player for this achievement, whether free (end of a contract, contract expiring or out of contract) or for money.
Clean Sheet3
Your team will need to play a match without conceding a goal to unlock this achievement
Simply conceed no goals in a match for this achievement.
Win Promotion15
You will need to guide your team to promotion in a domestic league to unlock this achievement
Well, the achievement says gain promotion, but I hear of people who get promoted via the playoffs or via second struggling to get the achievement, so you better aim for the top spot in the league just to make sure. Remember, you must go up a league to get this achievement.
Win Domestic Cup20
You will need to win the top domestic cup in a nation to unlock this achievement
As simple as the description says, just win the top domestic cup, such as the FA Cup in the English league, NOT the League Cup. If you are having problems, simply save before a match and then reload if you fail. But you seriously should win this achievement legit if you are good enough to get the rest of the difficult achievements.
Win Domestic Championship25
You will need to win the top league in a nation to unlock this achievement
Just win the top league of domestic football for this achievement. Whether it be the Premiership, Serie A, La Liga, Bundesliga, etc.
Qualify for Int. Championship25
You will need to ensure your team qualify for an international competition
Qualify for the continent specific competition it talks of, for international teams. Whether it be the European Championships, Copa America, African Nations Cup, etc.
Win International Championship40
You will need to win an International Championship
Win the continent specific competition it talks of, for international teams. Whether it be the European Championships, Copa America, African Nations Cup, etc.
Qualify For World Cup40
You will need to ensure your team qualify for the World Cup to unlock this achievement
Qualify for the World Cup. Via winning the group or playoffs.
Win World Cup100
You will need to win the World Cup to unlock this achievement
As the achievement says. win the World Cup. England in my opinion are the best option, I believe the game favours the English with better computer created football talent after the best players retire. They are also a good option early on, as are Brazil and France.
Win A Continental Cup50
You will need to guide your team to glory in a continental club competition
This is simply the European Cup, known to us as the Champions League. You must win it to get this achievement.
Win Confederations Cup50
You will need to guide your team to glory in the Confederations Cup to unlock this achievement
You must win the local championships with an international team first (European Championships, Copa America, etc) or host the competition to gain entry to it. Then you must win it. I did this with England. But Brazil are also a good shout.
Undefeated Season150
You will need to ensure your team does not lose a single league match throughout the entire season
I did this first time with the Juventus team, and only added Tuncay Sanli as a squad player. Simple really, don't lose a match. Save every so often just in case if you feel more comfortable. Just play a 4-4-2 with Emerson, Viera, Nedved in the midfield and they provide a good balance. You can rotate the fourth midfielder, Del Piero can have a good season if you don't over usae him. The strikers and defence speak for themselves.
Least Goals Conceded In League20
Your team will need to concede the least goals in your league over an entire season
As the description says. The best way for this is to start from the back, get the best keeper you can, Reina, Cech, Casillas, Buffon, Van Der Sar. Then get two world class centre backs, Terry, Cannavaro, Carragher, Samuel. Then two worldclass full backs who have very good defence skills and speed. Finally, you need a decent holding player in front as well, such as Alonso, Viera, Emerson, Sissokko. I would also change your defensive line to deep in the player tactics menu.
Most Goals Scored In League20
Your team will need to score the most goals in your league over an entire season
As the description says, if you have two worldclass strikers who play well together and have attributes that compliment each other, this should be a breeze. A fast striker and a tall ball winner is a combination you cannot go wrong with. Trezeguet and Ibrahimovich at Juventus are a good combination. Other quick players include, Cisse (who I recommend), Theo Walcott, Shevchenko, Martins. Other ball winners include Vieri, Ruud Van Nistelrooy, Drogba.
Top Goalscorer In League10
One of your players will need to be the top league goalscorer over an entire season
As the description says. Set the player who scores most of your goals to penalty kicker as well just to be sure. Only league goals count.
Golden Boot Award5
One of your players will need to be the overall top scorer at a World Cup
As the description says. I got this with England and Michael Owen, with Rooney setting him up. 5 or 6 goals in the main tournament should be enough to get this. Brazil are also a good alternative with Adriano and Ronaldo up front.
Play 30 Seasons25
Play Football Manager for 30 seasons
This one sounds just as bad, but it's not. It is on one saved game, so after you get the 20 season achievement just go on holiday for ten seasons. Note that it does not matter whether you get fired on this one as it is only an achievement to reach the 30 season milestone.
Hattrick5
You will need to inspire one of your players to score a hattrick to unlock this achievement
Fairly easy, a world class striker should get one a season in all honesty. Just play them in the cup games against the poorer teams domestically and in Europe and the achievement should be yours. By the way, a hat trick is three goals in a match ;) And they must be competitive games.
Double Hattrick15
You will need to inspire one of your players to score a double hattrick (6 or more goals)

This is somewhat more difficult, to get one player to score 6 goals in a competitive match. If you win the European Cup, the World Club Cup is a good chance, as well as the league cup in England and the European Cup qualifiers.

This took me seasons, about 14 infact, but I know others that got this in a matter of games. It's just trial and error with your team. I found that playing 2 up front was the key, one with lightning pace on the right and a good finisher who was good in the air on the left. Just perservere.

Buy 30 Million Plus Player10
Buy a player for 30 million pounds or more

Fairly simple, you do however need 30 million in the transfer kitty to do this and you can set it up as money over a period or initial cost. You don't however have to buy some one worth that much, just simply buy a 10 million player for that sort of money.

You can also simply save, buy your player, get the achievement and then reload.

Sell 30 Million Plus Player10
Sell a player for 30 million pounds or more to unlock this achievement

Not as simple as it sounds. As you may have to sell one of your key players for this, but I suggest....

You can usually sell a player for substantially more if you reduce the inital payment costs and up the payments over a 24 month period, so you maybe able to sell a 10 million rated player for 30 million by accepting no initial cost and accepting 30 million over 24 months. This also doesn't affect your transfer kitty, as you will get the 30 million's worth.

Or you can simply save, sell your player, get the achievement and then reload.

Win 5 Separate League Comps15
You will need to win 5 different league competitions to unlock this achievement
Similar to the "Win 5 Seperate League Comps"except this time, it doesn't have to be the top leagues, it may also be the lower leagues, such as The Championship, The Conference, Serie B, etc.
Win 5 Separate Cup Comps5
You will need to win 5 different cup competitions to unlock this achievement
For this, you will need to win 5 different cup competitions. These include the domestic cups in any league, the European cups, any of the smaller cups (i.e the league cup) and can be across numerous saves.
Win 5 Separate Top League Comps25
You will need to win 5 different top league competitions to unlock this achievement

This is across numerous saves and you MUST win the top domestic league. Teams I suggest for ease -

Italy - Juventus

England - Chelsea

Spain - Barcelona

Scotland - Celtic

Holland - Ajax

These are the clubs that I chose and found many of them to be extremely easy. I did however not do the English league wuth Chelsea, but with Liverpool instead.

Win 20 Cup Competitions15
You will need to win 20 cup competitions to unlock this achievement
This as far as I'm aware is on one save. This achievement should be easy enough to get when you are going for 20 seasons at one club achievement, simply because if you don't win cups then you will not stay in a job. All types of cups count for this achievement, whether it be European or Domestic competitions. Remember to win all those one off cup matches, such as the Community Shield, the European Super Cup and the World Club Cup.
World Player Of The Year10
You will need to get one of your players to win the World Player Of The Year award
A tough achievement to get as it seems most of the time the selection is totally random to some extent. Just kae sure your club performs well over the season in all competitions and you should eventually get it. I noticed Frank Lampard and John Terry got it loads of times, so get buying them or taking over as Chelsea
Player In World Cup Best XI5
You will need to have one of your players selected in the World Cup Best XI
If you win the World Cup, you should have numerous players in this team.
Player In Team Of The Year5
You will need to have one of your players selected in the Team Of The Year award
If you win the domestic league, you should have numerous players in this team.
Player Of The Year Award5
You will need to get one of your players to win a European Player Of The Year award
This is similar to "World Player Of The Year" achievement. A bit easier to get, as it seems that if you have a decent team that can challenge the top teams in Europe and your domestic league, you will get a player to win it.

ADDITIONAL TIPS

  • Keep your team troublemaker free as they will have a disruptive influence that WILL mess up the dynamics of your team. And it could upset some of your star players and will thus affect your performances and results.
  • Play with a formation to suit your squad, or build a squad to suit your formation. I always played a 4-1-2-1-2 (a diamond formations, I think known as a 4-4-2 attacking). Playing with a defensive midfielder, two wingers and one attacking midfieder.
  • Have a decent squad, but don't let it become too big, as you have to keep them all happy with first team football. The best way to do this is with versatile players, like Jamie Carragher who can play anywhere in defence and even in midfield, just like Hedwiges Maduro of Ajax.

DECENT YOUNG PLAYERS WHO CAN BECOME WORLD CLASS

This list is not everyone, but players who I have had experience with them and have become some of the best players in the world.

  • Mark Gonzalez
  • Hedwiges Maduro
  • Ryan Babel
  • Lionel Messi
  • John Obi Mikel
  • Freddy Adu
  • Theo Walcott
  • Lebohang Mokoena
  • Tuncay Sunli
  • Arjen Robben
  • Cristiano Ronaldo
  • Fred
  • Momo Sissokko

These players need first team football, but if they do, sit back and reap the rewards.
