Fantasy Premier League: Gameweek 30 Cheat Sheet

The Premier League is back, and with it my weekly rankings. However, they're quite a bit different than what I produced for the first 29 weeks of the season. Specifically, the weekly rankings will be based on new team and player projections that I developed during the league suspension. These projections are different than what we currently have on the site, as they are still somewhat under development, but I am confident enough to use them for these purposes. The additional benefit of using projections to help formulate my rankings is that I can more easily produce rankings for both the Premier League's official fantasy game and Fantrax's format.

Due to space limitations, I will not be breaking down each individual projection, but I will include a player rating based on those projections to give you an idea how close one player is to another. It's important to note that because FPL and Fantrax are very different in terms of scoring, comparing a player's individual rating in one format to the other is not useful. 

The major "issue" with the projections is trying to estimate how much each player is actually going to be on the pitch. Not only have these teams not played true competitive matches in months, but there are also four teams that will play twice in this gameweek, which naturally increases their potential points in this specific round (and, obviously rotation or minutes limits). I am treating it like any other double gameweek, where you wouldn't be surprised if someone like George Baldock was ranked ahead of Andrew Robertson because he has two opportunities for a clean sheet and other additional peripheral points.

I am also not ranking goalkeepers, but I will include my expected goal probabilities for each match to help you determine clean sheet chances. There's just very little roster movement when it comes to goalkeepers in the main fantasy formats that diving any deeper really doesn't seem beneficial.

As always, I am open to any feedback or suggestions, both on the format of the rankings or with a specific player's minutes. I'll admit that there were some projections and rankings that made me wonder how they got there, but I specifically did not want to start manually adjusting players just because I thought they looked weird. Also, the projections are dynamic, so adjusting one player's expectations will affect everyone else on his team, so if you have a question about where a player would rank if he played 180 minutes this gameweek, for example, we'll also have to figure out who isn't playing as much as initially estimated.
