Fantasy Premier League Rankings: Gameweek 5

Fantasy Premier League Rankings: Gameweek 5

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

As a reminder, we will be drafting against each other to formulate the rankings. A starting XI, plus seven bench spots (two strikers, two midfielders, two defenders, one goalkeeper). Chris had the first pick this week, Andrew got two and three, Chris took four, and then we alternated after that. The overall rankings below will show how the draft played out, and then we break down each position, in case you're looking for that too.
