All 13 FC 27 archetypes

Clubs is built on 13 archetypes, each modelled on an ICON of world football: two goalkeepers, three defenders, four midfielders and four forwards. In FC 27 every one of them is unlocked from the start, Disruptor replaces FC 26's Engine, and Spark has moved up to the forwards. Here is what each of them is for.
