Introduction:
FIFA 16 is the newest edition to EA Sport’s Canada’s yearly franchised game. FIFA 16 innovates across the entire pitch to deliver a balanced, authentic, and exciting football experience that lets you play your way, and compete at a higher level. And with all new ways to play! With innovative gameplay features, FIFA 16 brings confidence in defending, control in midfield, and gives you the tools to create more moments of magic than ever before. Fans new to the franchise, or skilled players looking to improve their game will have a chance to compete at a higher level using the all new FIFA trainer, innovation across the entire pitch and new ways to play.

Conclusion:
You should have all the offline achievements by 2-3 hours of gameplay. The online achievements can take much, much, much longer depending on your skill level of the game. I suggest playing the game for a while and get used to the gameplay. Overtime your experience will grow and them achievements should unlock.
