How to unlock the Wheeler Dealer achievement in FIFA 10 - Definitive Guide
I feel as though there are no guides that actually provide detail about getting this achievement (after being sacked 3 times using them). So this here, is by far the best method I used to get the achievement:
> Create 11 players (1gk, 4 def, 4, mid, 2 str) with 99 in every skill and on the team select part make sure they are added to Real Madrid.
> Go into edit teams and team management, Change the formation to 4,4,2 and add your 99 players in the relevant positions. Transfer all (except subs +1) to any other team. If you go into your transfers you should see you have 19/42 players on the squad.
> Now start a new managment game with Real Madrid and as soon as the season starts out upgrade your negotiator to level 10.
>sim one game then buy 23 players who are around the 70-80 skill mark, but make sure they are only contracted to one year.
> Sim all the games, you probablly wont be able to buy or sell any players in the January but instead keep simming until the season is over (as you wont be able to sell any other players until the season is finished).
> now at the start of the new season, only renew the contracts of the 99 players when prompted. You should now only have 19 players again meaning you can buy another 23 in the transfer market bringing your total to 46.
> now sell any 4 players and buy 4 players and the achievement will pop!
TIPS
1. Save at the start, at the start of each transfer window and after. make sure they are in different slots (you can just delete them after)
2. Search for players around 70-75. ignore the ones that have no interest of joining your club before youve altered their wage/bonus. They should be around 20 interest at the start.
3. Firstly add about 1/3 of thier transfer value onto the money offered, make sure the bonus is 15%, keep increasing thier wage until it stops going up (about 80-85%) and ensure thier contract is only for 1 year.
now you can keep your starting 11 with assistant coach off, this way you should still keep winning wen your simming games. sold and signed a few more in january, then got the rest in the next transfer window.
create 11 99 rated players, then go to edit teams in the main menu, and transfer them to real madrid. the 11 CP will 88% guarentee you a win.
also, even if you have not created 99 CP's, still go to edit teams, and delete most of your "bad" players that are in their overall of 70. get rid of these until you cant sell any more, e.g. real madrid only have 16 players or something like that.
keep the CP's or your original 1st team on madrid. then start a new MM, under game modes in the main menu, and play as real madrid. set both board and match difficulty as amateur. then just enter the transfer window under transfers, transfer market.
press Y, detailed, and go down to max overall and scroll left to 50. press A to submit. now, highlight a player, and click A and then go down to transfer and double it, if it is a better player (3-20 mill), just add a couple of million to it. next go down to the bottom, and change the contract length to 1 year. go up 1 and change the bonus to 15%. then change the salary until the interest (the bar at the bottom) is on 81, 83, or 85% depending on whats the highest. submit with A, press YES, and then move on to the next player. you should be able to buy around 25 here, then sell a couple (not your good ones) if you can, and then buy some more.
after youve played/simmed the match, accept the bids in your inbox screen, and then it should say player signed.
at the bottom of the main menu in MM, it tells you how many youve signed 2/3 down the summary page, next to players bought. rinse and repeat, and i got this in an hour tops. i got 36 by winter. at the end of the season, deny the players by pressing A to take the green tick off, then open the market buy some more players.
sim, win or lose, you should accept them, and the achievement should pop. if not look at the summary, then buy the remaining players you need to get 50. sim, accept BOING!!!
This is an easy trophy, but will take a lot of time.
Start a Manager Mode season with a team that have a lot of money (like Real Madrid). Here you will sim all matches, because your objective here is not to win, but to buy players.
When the Transfer Season begins, put all of your players on the Transfer List to be sold. Then look for cheap players to buy. Try to buy as many as you can during Transfer Seasons to get this trophy quicker
It will take about 2-4 full seasons until you get this trophy. After you buy the 50th player, this trophy will pop.
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. Afterward, you'll receive messages off the board saying which players you've signed and who you've not signed. If you don't sign some one, don't worry, just go back to the transfer market and search again. You cannot save 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.
