If you want to understand how it works fully, here's an in-depth guide on Archetypes in EA Sports FC 26.

What are Archetypes in EA FC 26

Archetypes is a progression system in Clubs mode that allows you to customize your pro players. There are various combinations, perks, and playstyles for players to explore and test out. Players can level up their Pro Player by completing various tasks and objectives in Clubs mode.

When you play Clubs mode, you earn Archetype Points and Club Coins (which are distinct from the EA FC coins used in Ultimate Team) that can be used to upgrade your Archetype. If you want to level up your Archetype quickly, play Competitive Club games and complete Skill games to earn more points.
