Fantasy Premier League Rankings: Top Midfielders for the 2021/22 Season

Written by

Published on August 6, 2021

Below is the updated batch of our Fantasy Premier League midfielder rankings for the upcoming 2021/22 season. A few notes before the goods:

Only active Premier League players are considered for the rankings and they are only considered on the teams they are currently on.
The rankings are based on our season-long player projections, which are updated regularly based on injuries, transfers or other playing-time related news. Please note that the rankings are not automatically updated when the projections are but we will have regular rankings updates as well.
The rankings are specifically for the Premier League's official fantasy game, including an emphasis on attacking stats like shots on goal and chances created in addition to goals and assists.
The "PTS" column is not a specific fantasy-point projection but an index score to help break the list down into certain tiers.
The rankings can be used for salary cap or draft formats, though they do not consider positional scarcity or average draft position (ADP).

As always, if you have any questions or comments, please feel free to leave a comment below or contact me on Twitter (@RotoWireAndrew) or in our subscriber Discord chat.

Note: All columns are sortable.
