Premier League Player Rankings — 2026-27
Every player across all 20 squads, ranked by overall rating. 536 players in total — the same data the game drafts from.
What this pool is
These 536 players are the exact draft pool inside Perfect Eleven: every senior player across the 20 Premier League squads, each carrying one overall rating on a 40–99 scale. The ratings are editorial, not an API feed — set player by player and reviewed by hand as squads change (how they are made). Read the tiers roughly as: 90+ the league's elite handful, mid-80s weekly starters at top-half clubs, 70s squad players and promoted-side regulars.
From 15 September 2026, inside the game each player's rating moves with his real Premier League form over his club's last four league matches (goals, assists, clean sheets and FPL's match score), by up to five points either way and refreshed once a day (how form works). The numbers on these pages are the editorial base and change only with a squad update. Think one looks wrong? The game carries a rating vote on every club — disagreement is part of the sport.
Using the rankings
The position pages double as draft prep. Chemistry inside the game links players who share a nationality, so a highly rated player with no compatriots in your XI can be worth less to you than a slightly lower-rated one who completes a link — the rankings tell you who is objectively best, the game asks who fits. The per-position cuts (top 30 of each) also show where the league's depth actually is: compare how quickly ratings fall away among goalkeepers versus midfielders and you know which wheel landings to spend a skip on. Every list links each player to their club page, where the full squad and the club's all-time legends sit together.
