The Venice expansion gave Wilhelm a decent boost, even when it might depend on the tiles there, but most of the time I find it easier to achieve my goal with him when we play with Venice (I always do, as I think it does a decent job of making this game a bit more balanced, while adding additional strategies).
At 11:50 points for placing 9 trading posts is 15VP. The 8th also gives you 5VP.
