If you really just want the XP without playing the 10 or so games in a day it takes to hit the cap do the following:

Kick off > Be a Pro
Team selection: Choose two evenly matched teams.
Match Settings: Set match duration to shortest duration (*or longest if you want to grind 50 hours on the field at the same time), set difficulty to Legendary.
Player team customization, crank up the pace, passing & shooting sliders 5 points
CPU team customization, crank down the pace, passing & shooting sliders 5 points.

Start the match, set an alarm for MATCH_LENGTH+20%. When your alarm goes off it's time to come back to start the second half (or set up a rematch at the end of full time). Rinse/repeat.

The reason for setting the match up as above is to ensure that you always win, but that you don't win by too much. Every goal you score wastes time with celebrations and replays (you are not there to skip them, remember), ideally you just want to win by a couple of goals every match. This is far more important if you are doing 20 minute halves. I over-did the sliders on my first attempt and it was 26-0 with only 15 minutes on the in-game clock when my alarm went off!

I'm doing this at the same time as grinding the 50 hours achievement (because FUT doesn't count for 50 hours on the pitch achievement) so I'm playing with 20 minute halves (setting my timer for 24 minutes, which is enough that the half has completed 99% of the time when I return to the game to continue).

Halfway through re-watching BSG season 3 while I do it :)
Niall Mc 96 FUT doesn't count for 50 hours on the pitch achievement........ are you sure because it did in the other fifas

Durera I would have the 50 hours achievement by now if it did count. Played more than 50 games of 20 minute halves in a be a pro as described (so 30 hours minimum) and have played over 150 matches in FUT (so at least 25 hours). If FUT did count then I would easily be over 50 hours on the pitch just with these two modes, ignoring all the time I spent online & in career.

MarioFlaBR If you Play all 50 hours in fut, the achievement WILL pop... It can not be mixed with other playing mode...

Durera hmm, thanks for that MarioFlaBR, I'll find out myself this weekend if that is indeed the case .. have played ~270 matches in FUT now, which is approx 45 hours @ 5 min halves. I really hope that you are correct!
