EA FC 26: Best Winger (RW/LW/RM/LM) Builds In Clubs

Among all the players taking the pitch in EA FC 26 Clubs, very few are given as much freedom with the ball as the wingers (LW/LM/RW/RM). But that comes with a heavy responsibility. After all, knowing when to avoid that always enticing 1v1 is an art in itself.

Thankfully, though, the mode provides players with a few archetypes perfect for the position. To help you bring the most out of them, here are the best winger builds in EA FC 26 Clubs.

Like with the CAM position, the best archetype for left and right wingers in FC 26 Clubs varies based on your style of play, with Spark being the best for those looking to abuse speed, and Magician fitting all looking to cut to the inside and awaken their inner Leo Messi. You can check out the best builds for both archetypes below.

Best Spark Winger Build

Starting with the classic Archetype, given its focus on pace and access to Rapid from the get-go, those looking to build a winger with Spark should focus on overall speed and finishing above all else. When looking at individual stats, you want to have at least enough to unlock our chosen PlayStyles, aka Rapid, Trickster, First Touch, and either Finesse or Low Driven Shot.

But wait, why are we focusing on Trickster when the archetype comes with its + version? The reason is simple: we will be using the Spark+ specialization for its great situational passive and Quick Step+, which will replace Trickster. You can check out a more in-depth overview of our build below, including its best player measurements:

  • Archetype: Spark
    • Ball Out (Unlocked from the get-go): Knocking past opponents in the wings offers a boost to Acceleration, Agility, and Ball Control
    • Cut Back Specialist (Unlocked at level 40): Passes performed after entering the box from the wings carry increased Short Passing, Crossing, and Vision
  • Specialization: Spark+ (Using skill moves to get past opponents in the opposing end boosts Agility, Acceleration, and Sprint Speed)
  • Height: 5’7/9
  • Weight: 147-160lbs (ideally 160lbs)
  • PlayStyles+:
    • Rapid+
    • Quick Step+
  • PlayStyles:
    • Trickster
    • First Touch
    • Finesse Shot
    • Low Driven Shot / Technical (Depending on your style and formation)
  • Skill Moves: 5☆
  • Weak Foot: 4☆
  • Vital Stats: Acceleration, Sprint Speed, Agility, Vision, Finishing, Curve, Shot Power, Long Shots, Composure, Curve, Ball Control, Dribbling, Balance, Stamina, and Crossing

Best Magician Winger Build

Ideal for those who wish to take the Inside Forward role, our Magician build retains our Spark measurements while keeping the new archetype’s PlayStyles+ (Finesse Shot+ and Technical+) and adding even more via Rapid, First Touch, and Quick Step. For the fourth slot, go with either Pinged Pass or Trickster based on your preference. To make our one-two plays even more dangerous, we are then going to equip the Magician+ specialization. Using Hotshot can also work when looking to further empower the build’s cut and shot core.

Magician’s multifaceted style also demands prioritizing speed, dribbling, and finishing equally in the early stages, as well as keeping a worthy passing baseline. For a better look, here’s an overview of the best Magician winger build in EA FC 26:

  • Archetype: Magician
    • Gateway Driver (Level 1): Dribble at full speed on the opposing half to get a short boost in Ability, Balance, and Dribbling
    • Ankle Breaker (Level 40): Performing a fake shot to beat an opponent in the final third triggers a boost in Balance, Ball Control, and Dribbling
  • Specialization:
    • Magician+ (Performing a pass and go in the opposing half offers a short boost in Acceleration, Ball Control, and Balance)
    • Hotshot (Passes toward the box offer a short boost in Finishing, Ball Control, and Composure to the receiver)
  • Height: 5’7/9
  • Weight: 147-163lbs (ideally 163lbs)
  • PlayStyles+:
    • Finesse Shot+
    • Technical+
  • PlayStyles:
    • Rapid
    • First Touch
    • Quick Step
    • Pinged Pass / Trickster (The latter if looking to abuse the meta Trickster Fake Shot)
  • Skill Moves: 5☆
  • Weak Foot: 4☆+
  • Vital Stats: Finishing, Shot Power, Long Shots, Agility, Balance, Reactions, Ball Control, Dribbling, Composure, Vision, Crossing, Short Pass, Long Pass, Curve, Acceleration, Stamina, and Sprint Speed

A build similar to the above can also be a great fit when filling in for a CAM or ST, with the Invader specialization becoming an option for the former. Replacing Technical+ for Pinged Pass+ can also be a game-changer.
