How to unlock the Spending spree achievement in FIFA 09 - Definitive Guide
every transfer window go to the transfer market and do a detailed serch, make sure skill is between 5 and 50 and they are on the transfer list, then after year you can flog them and buy new ones!
dont forget there is a limit on how many players you have in the squad!
Only players bought from the Transfer List count towards the 50, not players recommended by your scout.
This also has to be done in ONE career, not a total across multiple manager modes.
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.
Hope this maybe would also help you a little bit. For the whole achievement it took me about 3-4 hours I think because of some mistakes and for the buying part.
I would suggest starting a whole new manager mode with Barcelona. Change the currency to dollars, this way you get a lot more money than before.
Unfortunately the transfer season is closed at this point so just keep simming all of your games until the transfer period arrives. Do not worry about whether you win or lose your games because this season is purely for this trophy.
Now go to the transfer list and put all or most of your players up for sale. Now go into the transfer market and find anyone who is below 5 million and put a bid in for them. Sim your next game and continue until you get to the offers page. Accept as many offers as you want for your players. You will also see here whether your bid for a player has been successful. Just keep doing this and keep putting bids in for players until the transfer window closes.
Now once again keep simming all of your games until the transfer window comes back around. Now follow the same steps above for buying and selling players. This took me about 3-4 seasons to eventually buy 50 players. It is not hard but may just take a while.
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.
