Recycler

The holding midfielder who breaks it up and gives it back.

What the Recycler is for

Recycler is the CDM archetype. Intercept and Press Resistant are the two things a holding midfielder in Clubs actually needs — read the pass, then keep the ball when two players close you down. Unglamorous and enormously useful.

Confirmed so far. The Recycler’s full Signature PlayStyle set is still being verified against the game.

Key Attributes

These four cost less AP to raise on a Recycler than on any archetype that does not list them, so a build that leans into them goes further per point.

Taken from a published guide rather than confirmed in game, so treat the four as likely rather than certain.
