Power Rankings

Haaland at 1.1 is the safest foundation in the league, and this roster is the most complete top to bottom — Gibbs-White, Cunha, and Rayan give him real support, and Leno-Alisson is a top-three keeper pairing for almost no draft capital. Marmoush was a reach, and the back line is just ordinary, but nothing else here needs to break right.

Nearly every pick here landed as pure value — João Pedro at 5, plus a shrewd late keeper platoon that funded Hill and Cash outright, with zero injury flags anywhere on the roster. Mosquera's minutes depend on Saliba staying hurt, and this isn't a flashy build, but the floor is about as high as it gets.

The best forward room in the draft, full stop — Isak, Šeško, and Igor Jesus give this team a ceiling nobody else has up top, and Guéhi was excellent value on the back line. Midfield is solid rather than spectacular, and Sels/Horníček is only a seventh-best keeper pairing, but that's a cheap fix.

Arguably the deepest midfield in the league — Saka, Doku, Foden, Madueke, and Maddison is an absurd amount of talent, and Watkins was a legitimate bargain. Ekitiké is out until mid-October and Pickford was overpaid for, but this team is stacked if the injury news breaks right.

Palmer anchors the best defensive unit in the draft — Gabriel, Virgil, Muñoz, Branthwaite might be unmatched in this league, and Osula was real value late. Raya was the worst-value keeper pick on the board, and the midfield thins out fast after Palmer, with Rashford carrying real risk of leaving the league.

Semenyo, Mbeumo, Gakpo, and O.Dango make for a deep, functional midfield, and Truffert and Hincapié were smart value on the back line. Wilson was a reach nobody else would have made, and Trafford is the worst number-two keeper anywhere on the board — a couple of self-inflicted wounds on an otherwise solid roster.

Cherki and Tzolis were legitimately good value, and Lammens is a solid, steady keeper. But Richarlison is the single riskiest asset in the entire draft — final year of his deal, multiple clubs circling — and Tonali was a reach too. This roster is carrying more risk than any other in the league.

The attack is stacked — Gyökeres headlines a genuinely strong group, and Barry was one of the best value grabs in the whole draft. But Sánchez and Dubravka is the worst keeper pairing in the league by a wide margin, and the back line behind Gvardiol is thin. Fix the keeper spot and this rises fast.

Wirtz, Ødegaard, and Enzo is a genuinely strong midfield, and Thiago, Havertz, and Solanke give it a fine forward line. But J.Timber and Garner were both tagged unlikely to play when taken, and Henderson-Kinsky is the second-worst keeper pairing in the league. Good players, poor process at the margins.

Elite spine, unusable edges. B.Fernandes, Eze, Estêvão, Merino, Mac Allister is the best midfield core in the league, and Donnarumma is the best keeper anyone drafted. But Saliba was already hurt when taken and is out into November, and the forward line of Gabriel Jesus, Beto, and Delap is the weakest in the league.
