Top Premier League Midfielders 2026/27
The highest-rated midfielders of the 2026/27 season, ranked by Tilt Score.
Midfielders Overview
Midfielders are the engine room of any FPL squad. In Fantasy Premier League, midfielders who play in advanced positions score goals at forward rates but cost less and pick up clean sheet points, making them the most efficient route to points.
These rankings highlight the top midfielders by Tilt Score, which captures per-90 efficiency, volume, and recency-weighted momentum. Pay attention to the gap between Tilt Score and total points: a midfielder with a high Tilt but moderate total points finished the season on an upswing.
Use these rankings alongside the Breakout Alerts page to spot midfielders whose underlying stats (xG, xA, creativity) suggest more points are coming even if they haven't arrived yet. Visit the Stats Hub for more category breakdowns.
