I used Ryan Whitney of the Edmonton Oilers who was 0/2 with a 86 overall and a potential of 88.
Then i purchased 2 training skater (+2 All) cards and applied them to Ryan Whitney and that put his overall to 89. The Achievement unlocks right away.
I was able to find the +2 All skater cards in the marketplace for a little less then 2000 pucks each.
Hope this helps to get this achievement at the lowest cost.
I had Mike Moore from the Worcester Sharks, he had 0/2 71 overall and 74 potential.
I used +9 checking and +9 Defense. Each card brought his overall up by 2. Ended up with a 75 potential.
This one is quite easy as you need a player on your roster that has only 2 available training slots, and his potential CAN ONLY be 2 higher than his current ability. For example a player that is 75 OVR and has a potential of 77 OVR, so you have to make him reach at least 78 OVR. You NEED to get two Training +2 ALL CARDS, and apply both cards to the player that has only 2 available training slots. After applying both cards to the player, the player will be 1+ better than his overall potential, and the trophy is yours.
The easiest way to get this achievement is to find a player with only 2 training card slots (his potential MUST be only 3 higher than his overall). Now you just use a two +2 All training cards and his overall will be 1 higher. Look in the Trading HUT for the +2 All cards to buy.
But there is also a trick. You can buy at auction a player who already has more overs than what is indicated on his card. Then we go into the lineup, look at this card, and voila, the trophy is received.
