Edit - 8th December 2019. Thanks to Mercado for the notification of the changes.
As of the recent update there has been an xp overhaul reducing the total required to reach level 50 which should make this achievement easier to obtain, I've added an extract from the article in the spoiler tag below.
Please note my play experience in this solution is pre-December update therefore numbers and timings will likely vary.*** Spoiler - click to reveal ***Player Level XP Reductions
Under the old system, there was a large increase in XP required at level 26. Under the new system, we’ve reduced the rate at which XP required to level up increases from levels 20 to 58. The net impact of this change is that the XP curve should be softer for new players, meaning they will get more rewards, faster through level 58. Additionally, the total XP required to hit level 100 will be reduced by approximately 5%. Because XP requirements are being reduced, players between levels 20 and 99 may find they are a level higher after this change goes live, if they were close to leveling up. These XP changes will have no effect on players already at level 100.
The maximum XP required per level will remain at 18,000 starting at level 58 (26 in the old system) and will remain constant through level 500.

This will likely be the last achievement you will need to complete the game. The main source of xp will be time survived. In a 20m20s game I got 3660 survival xp, of which you get an additional 5% if you play with a friend.
Please note this guide has been updated many times due to the nature of the ever changing game. Every effort has been made to ensure the information is accurate. If you are aware of any changes to the game systems just drop them below and I will check the patch notes and update where possible.It took me 50 hours from start to finish. Expect it to take anywhere from 40-80 hours depending on how often you win.
Xp chart below
Win - 900xp
Top 3 - 300xp
Kill - 50xp
Revive - 25xp
Respawn - 200xp
Damage - 1xp per 4 damage
Killing a champion - 500xp
Being a champion squad - 500xp
First kill of the day - 500xp
Being Kill leader - 50xp
Survival xp - 3 per second
In an average 20 minute game I was getting around 4-5k total xp most matches (the most I noticed was 6.7k). So you’d be looking at around 1-1.5 hours per level.
I found an updated xp table online and the numbers synced with what I had so far when I'd started to redo the table so I believe them to be accurate as of after December 2019. From around level 18 onwards the xp increases by only 150 each level with the new numbers.
The xp table needed for each rank is:
2 - 100
3- 2,650
4- 3,900
5- 4,750
6- 5,600
7- 6,350
8 - 7,100

10 - 8,150
11 - 8,600

Bringing the total needed to 592,650 which is a reduction of 79,050 which should make this achievement easier to obtain.

EDIT 3rd July 2019: Thanks to SnD ACiD RAiN for the information.
As of the release of Season 2. The glitched unlock which a number of users were having issues with should hopefully be fixed.
[X1 only] Fixed bug where players were not being rewarded “The Player” achievement after hitting level 50. If you have reached level 50 and not received it in the past it should now be awarded retroactively.
The full patch notes are available here.
