Four questions. Every archetype gets the same AP for what you pick, spent from its own starting values up to its own caps, at its own prices.

The quiz spends 80 AP on each attribute you want to be best at and 40 on each you want to be solid at, cheapest next point first, and ranks on the averages you end up with (best counts double). Never more than 720 of your 962 AP.
FC 27 has thirteen archetypes, eleven outfield and two keepers, and each one starts every attribute at its own value, caps it at its own maximum and prices it on its own tier. So the archetype with the highest ceiling is not always the one that gets furthest: the Spark has the highest Pace caps, but 80 AP on each pace attribute takes a Marauder to an average of 89 and a Spark to 83.5. The quiz weighs all three for you.
Every upgrade priced, one archetype at a time: Magician · Spark · Finisher · Maestro · Disruptor · All 13 archetypes compared.
The best archetype for each part of your game
If you already know what you want, here is the answer for each of the builder's six attribute groups, with the archetype that has the highest caps beside it.
The short answer
Best outfield archetype for each part of your game
Most for the AP: the highest average after 80 AP on each attribute of the group. Highest caps: the highest average cap, whatever it costs to get there.

How the quiz decides
No archetype is recommended by hand. For each one, the quiz buys points in the attributes you picked, 80 AP per attribute for what you want to be best at and 40 for what you want to be solid at, always taking the cheapest next point. It starts from that archetype's own starting values, stops at its own caps and pays its own prices, which are the ones the builder charges. The answer is the archetype with the highest averages at the end, with the best-at group counting double.
Skill moves are a filter, not a score: pick 5★ and the archetypes that stop at 4★ drop out of the ranking, listed under it. Starting values, caps and prices come from the FC 27 catalog, the same data as the AP costs for all 13 archetypes.
Keepers
There are two keeper archetypes, and both can take every keeping attribute to 99. What differs is where each starts and what each pays. With the same 80 AP on one keeping attribute, the Shot Stopper ends higher in GK Handling and GK Pos. and the Sweeper Keeper in GK Kicking and GK Reflexes; they finish level in GK Diving.
- Shot Stopper (inspired by Gianluigi Buffon): its cheapest tier is Acceleration, GK Pos., Reactions and Short Pass; GK Reflexes and GK Kicking are on its most expensive.
- Sweeper Keeper (inspired by Edwin van der Sar): its cheapest tier is GK Kicking, Long Pass, Vision and Ball Control; GK Pos. and GK Handling are on its most expensive.
Skill moves
Seven outfield archetypes can reach 5★ skill moves: the Finisher and Spark from 3★ for 40 AP; the Target from 2★ for 48 AP; the Magician from 3★ for 55 AP; the Creator, Maestro and Marauder from 2★ for 65 AP. The Disruptor, Recycler and Progressor stop at 4★ and the Boss at 3★; the keepers top out at 2★ and 3★.
