Fantrax Premier League Rankings: Gameweek 5

Written by

Updated on October 16, 2020 3:46PM EST

I went into the methodology of putting these rankings together in the Fantasy Premier League Rankings for Gameweek 5, which mostly focused on how I project team totals for each statistical category and then distribute those out to each of the 11 expected starters. And speaking of starters, there's nothing worse than trying to project who will be in the first XIs after an international break, so you can be assured that these rankings are likely to change throughout the week as we learn about when players are returning and if they'll recover from any injuries in time for this weekend.

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