I was considering building a fighter, but felt in previous editions that fighters and melee in general tended to be underpowered later in the game. How do they compare this time around? I know they get access to the Eldrich Knight archetype, perhaps to balance this.   What type of fighters tend to shine the most? Any and all advice would be appreciated.

Was going to go the Eldritch Knight Route, but didn't get the chance to cast any spells yet.   The fighter does have the potential to make a lot of attacks, but without a desent archetype it's really one note. Move, Hit - Move, Hit - Move, Hit.
