The short version
Half of all habré hablado is not about the future
The future perfect does place an action before a future point, as in para el viernes habré terminado. Far more often in speech it is guessing about the recent past. Habrá llegado ya usually means he must have arrived, not he will arrive. Let the context decide, not the form.
Habrá llegado ya.
