Overview

  • Clubs mode now offers 13 distinct archetypes, each with three specializations and unique perks to define playstyles across 39 class-based options.
  • After selecting a free starting archetype, players can unlock the remaining 12 using Club Coins, FC Coins or consumable unlocks and earn Archetype XP toward a level cap of 50.
  • Season-spanning Rush live events will recur throughout the campaign, featuring unique entry requirements, gameplay modifiers, multi-stage progression and exclusive rewards.
  • Users can join and switch between up to three clubs at once to foster social collaboration and diversify competitive opportunities.
  • Competitive presets remove long-term fatigue for player-controlled pros and introduce position-specific match ratings that reward role-appropriate actions.
