Gameweek 17 Weekly Rankings
So here we go. Read below for my Gameweek 17 Weekly Rankings, broken down by each positional classification. And no, I’m not going to be ranking the Goalkeepers!
This Premier League season has been the craziest in recent history. Unexpected results, penalties, no clean sheets means it is harder than ever to try to project lineups and potential scorers. These rankings take into account a team’s lineup choices, their opponents as well as the players’ floor, and ability to come up with a massive score in any given gameweek. You should always try to balance your squad with high floor and high ceiling players to maximize your potential score while keeping a steady flow of points.
Gameweek 16 saw the COVID-related postponement of Manchester City’s and Fulham’s fixtures and it is as of yet unclear whether these teams will be able to play their games in this upcoming gameweek.
Keep a close eye on news coming from official sources and plan your lineup choices accordingly.
