Fantasy Premier League Player Rankings: Gameweek 1

Fantasy Premier League Player Rankings: Gameweek 1

This article is part of our Fantasy Premier League Rankings series.

Welcome back for another season of our weekly Fantasy Premier League player rankings. A few reminders before we jump in:

  • The rankings are based on the Premier League's official fantasy game and are applicable to both their salary cap and draft formats.
  • The players ranked are those in our projected lineups, and everyone is ranked as if they will play 90 minutes. Yes, not every starter plays 90 minutes, but they are ranked with the same minutes expectation in case they do play full matches.
  • Each player is assigned an index score, which is not a specific fantasy point projection. The point of the index, which focuses mostly on goals, assists, shots on target, chances created and clean sheets, is to provide context for each player, making it easier to compare different players at different positions.
  • Our projected lineups are updated throughout the week based on injuries, manager press conferences and other information, but the rankings do not automatically update. However, we will update them at various points before gameweeks begin.
