20206 Keeper Ranks | Tier Five

We’re at the halfway mark of the 2026 Top 50 Keeper Ranks. Tier 5 is where your draft starts telling everyone what kind of coach you are. Your two stars are locked away. Now you have to decide: win now, or build for five years from now?

Rowan and I go through all seven names. There’s a midfielder who averaged 106 over his last 11 games after a rough first half. There’s a pressure-acts machine with a 180+ ceiling game, plus a ball user with the best metres gained in the tier. Two veterans coming off big years are in here too, along with a young gun who’s all projection. Then there’s the one that’ll split the comments: a forward who didn’t play a game in 2026 and still went UP a tier.

Every name here could finish top 20 on the Keeper platform. Every name also carries an asterisk. We’ll tell you which ones.
