The 50 Highest Rated Premier League Players (2026-27)

Ratings as of 12 September 2026 · updated with every squad change

Every player across all 20 Premier League squads, ranked by overall rating. 552 players were considered; the top 50 are below.

How the ranking works

The single overall rating decides the order — no per-position curves, no separate attacking and defending scores. Ratings are editorial: set player by player, reviewed by hand as squads change, with a provisional rating for new signings until they are reviewed. Players who share a rating are listed together; the cut at 50 is presentation — the full pool lives on the position pages below. How our ratings are made.

Top 10 Players in the Premier League (2026)

The full top 50: 11 to 50

Who owns the top 50

Three clubs supply 37 of the 50 highest-rated players in the league. Arsenal have 15, Manchester City 13, Liverpool 9. Manchester United have six, Chelsea four, Tottenham two and Aston Villa one — and thirteen of the twenty Premier League clubs have nobody here at all.

Eight clubs have a player in the top thirty at goalkeeper, defence, midfield and forward: Arsenal, Manchester City, Liverpool, Manchester United, Chelsea, Tottenham, Aston Villa and Nottingham Forest. The other twelve have a gap somewhere.

At the very top, Erling Haaland at 96 (Manchester City), Bruno Fernandes at 95 (Manchester United) and Alisson at 94 (Liverpool) — three players from three different clubs. Alisson is the highest-rated goalkeeper, two points clear of the next.

What this means for your draft

A spin that lands on Arsenal offers fifteen of these fifty players; a spin on any of the thirteen clubs with nobody here offers none. But raw rating is not the whole game: chemistry comes from nationality, so the highest-rated player available is not always the right pick for the XI you already have.
