This article is part of our DraftKings Fantasy Soccer series.
It's another season of Premier League DFS and RotoWire will have its usual range of content from articles to videos and anything else that pops up.
Ryan Belongia and Jordan Cooper are going live Friday at 1 p.m. ET to discuss Saturday's DraftKings slate.
Jack Burkart will write the DraftKings preview, as well as the FanDuel one for Saturday's main slates (likely to be released Thursday or Friday).
Since I'm taking the week off, I decided to convert the rankings I use for FPL and Fantrax into DraftKings scoring.
I didn't do too much adjusting outside of the top players, so there's probably something that doesn't make sense. I've also found that projecting goalkeepers with normal stats doesn't often work well. Either way, if you're looking for a different set of rankings and projections, you can copy and paste these into your own files and then upload to an optimizer.
Similar to the FPL/Fantrax rankings, these are only for projected starters as of Aug. 9. If someone gets injured or is ruled out the week of the matches, don't blame me. Simply replace them in this and adjust the points as necessary.
Our projected lineups can be found here. Injuries and suspensions are here. Good luck.
