Gameweek 8 Weekly Rankings
So here we go. Read below for my Gameweek 8 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. Theses 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 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.
