Best Clubs builds for Midfielders
The addition of Archetypes has altered the way people manage their players in EA FC 26‘s Clubs mode, making it more challenging than ever to strike the perfect balance between stats and team synergy.
With so many stats, perks, and playstyles to consider, it can be a nightmare creating the perfect build, so we’ve done the work for you, and here are the best builds for Midfielders in Clubs, whether you’re a CAM, CDM, or CM.
Best Recyler build
POSITION | ARCHETYPE | HEIGHT | WEIGHT | PLAYSTYLES | PLAYSTYLES+ | SPECIALIZATION |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
CDM | Recycler | 5'10 – 5'11" | 165 – 174 lbs | - Long Ball Pass - Anticipate - Intercept - Pinged Pass | - Press Proven+ - Intercept+ - Relentless+ | Thief |
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, Standing Tackle, Reactions, Stamina, Acceleration, Strength, Vision, and Balance – in that order.
Best Creator build
POSITION | ARCHETYPE | HEIGHT | WEIGHT | PLAYSTYLES | PLAYSTYLES+ | SPECIALIZATION |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
CAM | Creator | 5'9" | 150 – 160 lbs | - Pinged Pass - Incisive Pass - First Touch - Technical - Press Proven | - Incisive Pass+ - Pinged Pass+ - Inventive+ | Creator+ |
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 Vision, Long Passing, Short Passing, Ball Control, and First Touch. Then you can go for some extra ones, such as Acceleration, Agility, and Dribbling.
Even though Creator+ is the most balanced Specialization, if you drift wide and cross the ball constantly, you can swap it for Sniper.
Best Maestro build
POSITION | ARCHETYPE | HEIGHT | WEIGHT | PLAYSTYLES | PLAYSTYLES+ | SPECIALIZATION |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
CM | Maestro | 5'7" – 5'8" | 145 – 155 lbs | - Pinged Pass - First Touch - Technical - Relentless | - Pinged Pass+ - Technical+ - Tiki Taka+ | Maestro+ |
The Maestro Archetype makes your Midfielder the hub of the pitch, with vision, passing power, and incredible ball control. This player is possession-oriented and the orchestrator of the game.
To round up its power, you must improve Dribbling, Ball Control, and First Touch. When going deeper into its stats, you can work on building up its Agility, Acceleration, Vision, Composure, Short and Long Passing, and Stamina.
Best Spark build
POSITION | ARCHETYPE | HEIGHT | WEIGHT | PLAYSTYLES | PLAYSTYLES+ | SPECIALIZATION |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
CAM | Spark | 5’7″ | 140 – 150 lbs | - Technical - Incisive Pass - Gamechanger - Inventive | - Inventive+ Pass+ - Rapid+ - Trickster+ | Spark+ |
This build is made for an explosive CAM, an advanced playmaker with a lot of creativity, flair, and sharp attacking moves that can get past tight spaces.
There are a few attributes to prioritize when building this Midfielder, starting with Acceleration, Agility, and Sprint Speed. Once it’s physically unstoppable, you can improve Dribbling, Ball Control, First Touch, Vision, Short Passing, and even Finesse Shot.
