Fantasy Premier League Rankings: Top Midfielders

Big changes could be coming if Alexis Sanchez and Philippe Coutinho leave the Premier League, but if they stay, Andrew Laird is expecting monster fantasy seasons.
Fantasy Premier League Rankings: Top Midfielders

With Barcelona having more than €200 million to burn after Neymar's transfer to Paris Saint-Germain, a number of high profile players are being linked to the Spanish club, including Liverpool's Philippe Coutinho. Liverpool's attack is packed with impact fantasy options, but losing Coutinho would be a huge blow.

Additionally, Alexis Sanchez continues to be linked to PSG despite the Neymar acquisition, while Manchester City are presumably still in the hunt for the Chilean as well. Alexis' fantasy value won't drop much, if at all, with a move to City, though obviously Coutinho would lose all of his if he left the league.

Both midfielders are officially Premier League players right now, so I'll keep them in my rankings heading into the season. For reference, here were my ranks back on July 23.
