How this is ranked

By Fantasy Premier League's own expected points for the next gameweek, which the game publishes for every player, and only among goalkeepers with no injury or availability flag. We do not run a points model of our own: this is FPL's number, shown next to the fixture, the run of five that follows and how many teams already own each player.

The page is rebuilt every night, so it always talks about the gameweek that comes next. For any player, his own page answers whether to keep or sell him and lists alternatives at a similar price. The other positions: defenders, midfielders, forwards.
