Forever Midtable's 2026-27 Draft Rankings
Cole Palmer at 5. James Tarkowski at 17. Here is where my board disagrees with your league.
It’s draft season again, the one time of year when arguing about Everton center backs counts as preparation. The 2026-27 board is live: 595 players, free, updated every day. Last season my weekly rankings beat Fantrax's own weekly projections.
Every ranking agrees about Haaland. The useful ones tell you where the room is wrong. These five sit inside my top 30, and every one of them is going later than that in real drafts:
It cuts both ways. Gabriel Magalhães goes 26th and I have him 51st. Ødegaard 28th → 38th. Bruno Guimarães 30th → 39th. All three are good players, just not at those prices. You can wait on them. You cannot wait on the five above.
Where the numbers come from
Every player is valued as if you were drafting today. A projection model does the work, I handle the parts a model cannot see, and the whole board is re-ranked every day as transfers and team news land. It runs on Fantrax standard scoring.
Draft Rank is not Projected Fantasy Points
This is the one that catches people out, and it is worth thirty seconds before you open the board.
Projected Fantasy Points is what he’ll score this season.
Draft Rank is his true value. Not all positions are equal.

Phones and tablets open on a smaller layout, and the Mobile / Desktop control in the header overrides it. Mobile is fine for checking a name mid draft. The full board is the one to draft from, because it puts the ADP comparison and the stat columns side by side.
