The top of the FPL leaderboard has remained dominated by MDL players, albeit with a few exceptions and oddities this week. In 6th place sits Ricardo "boltz" Prass, who was recently benched from MIBR and replaced by Tarik "tarik" Celik, formerly of Cloud9.
Speaking of Cloud9, another large oddity is the appearance of Martin "STYKO" Styk on the leaderboard. STYKO was recently benched from mousesports and later used on loan by Cloud9 for ESL One Cologne 2018. The Slovakian player has been confirmed by Cloud9 to don the blue jersey once again at the ELEAGUE Premier 2018.
After falling short last week, FPL newcomer Richard "levy" Levy has finally broken into the top 10 in 8th place. Fellow FPL newcomer David "Sneaky" Polster was unable to remain in the top 20, falling just below in 21st place.The full rankings can be found on FACEIT's website.
