Best Clubs builds for all positions

Due to the addition of a new feature called Archetypes, creating the best Clubs builds in EA FC 26 has become even more difficult than last year. To help you out, we’ve compiled the best club builds for each position.

An optimal build in Clubs is not just about stacking the best stats, but also about making a player fit the meta and your team’s playstyle. For that, you must think about its position, archetype, playstyle, physical build, and other attributes. With all that in mind, here are our recommendations:

Best Goalkeeper (GK) build

This setup makes you an all-around meta GK with excellent reflex saves, strong vs crosses, and agile enough not to get exposed by finesse shots or 1v1s.

After you’ve built the perfect Goalkeeper, use the remaining skill points for Pace, Agility, and Passing – in that order.

Best Full-back (LB/RB) build

A reliable full-back has to be able to offer support on both sides of the pitch, with a wide anchor on defense and an overlapping threat on attack. 

Focus on improving Pace, Defending, Stamina, Crossing, Curve, Dribbling, and Agility attributes.

Best Center-back (CB) build

The CB is the last chance to stop opponents before they try to score a goal, so they should be strong pillars capable of shutting down any incoming attack. But that’s not all, a good CB must be able to read a play and stop it before it unravels.

Don’t forget to improve Strength and Jumping (to win aerial duels). Then focus on Interceptions, Defensive Awareness, and Reactions.

Best Defensive Midfielder (CDM) build

CDM players have to pressure opponents when they have the ball to force them to lose it. They also have to be able to read plays to cut through them, intercept passes, and retrieve the ball.

Because this is a more defensive position, the attributes to work on include Interceptions, Defensive Awareness, Standing Tackle, Strength, Balance, Reactions, Stamina, and Acceleration – in that order.

Best Attacking Midfielder (CAM) build

An extraordinary CAM has to be the most versatile player on a team, as its role includes scoring, creating opportunities, dribbling, and even defending (when needed).

Because of its many roles, there are several attributes you can improve to make your CAM unstoppable. Start with Short Passing, Long Passing, Ball Control, and Dribbling. Then you can go for some extra ones, such as Composure.

Even though Creator+ is the most balanced Specialization. However, if you drift wide and cross the ball constantly, you can swap it for Sniper.

Best Winger (LM/RM/LW/RW) build

Even though LM/RM must balance attack and defense, while LW/RW focus more on attack, all of them must try to stretch play to create exposed areas to pass the ball.

Because they run a lot, the attributes to improve are Pace, Agility, and Stamina. Then go for Dribbling, Crossing, and Finishing.

Best Striker (ST) build

The Magician Archetype represents a trickier dribbler, and Target is more useful if the team tends to cross the ball a lot. So, using Finisher (a best ‘all-around’ based on Alex Morgan) is the smarter way to go.

For the ST, focus on attributes such as Finishing, Attack Positioning, Shot Power, Volleys, and Heading Accuracy first. Then, you can improve Acceleration, Balance, and Composure.

Best Target Man (ST) build

The key to a very good Target Man is finding the balance between being a threat in the air while also being a reliable scorer and a link among the team.

The main attributes to improve are Strength, Jumping, Heading Accuracy, Finishing, and Shot Power. After those have been taken care of, you can continue with Attack Positioning, Balance, Composure, and Short Passing.
