This article is part of our Fantasy Premier League Rankings series.
We're now less than a week away from kickoff to the 2015/16 Premier League season, which means it's time we start finalizing the rosters we'll be using in season-long games. We've already discussed some strategies for draft formats, while also hitting on auctions. These rankings reflect our writers' opinions on season-long salary cap formats, such as the Premier League's official game and ESPN's Premier Fantasy, though they can also be used as cheatsheets for draft or auction leagues (just note that the rankings were based on the official FPL scoring, so if your league has a different points setup, please feel free to leave a question below and we'll be sure to get back to you quickly).If you're looking for positional rankings, you can find them here:
Points were assigned to each player based on their ranking by each contributor: 50 points for a first place vote, 49 points for a second place vote, 48 points for a third place vote and so on.| RotoWire Fantasy Premier League Top 50 | |||||||||
