The Best ST Build For FC 27 Clubs And The Grounds
Target and Finisher are the two best Archetypes for your strikers in FC 27. Which of the two you should pick depends on the type of attacker you want to be.
Finisher is the more well-rounded one and better of the two.
Target is good if you want to play as someone tall who feeds on those crosses. It's more about being a bully than a versatile striker.
But Precision Header is not as strong as a Low Driven Shot. In situations where you are in front of a goal and making runs, you don't want to be too clunky to move either.
The ideal height for a Finisher is less than 6 feet, while Target is best at 6'3" and above.
As for PlayStyles, your focus will be on pace. You absolutely need to be quick. For AMPs and stats, focus on shooting, pace, passing, and a bit of ball control.
