Gameweek 16 Rankings - Fantasy Premier League Predictions, Tips, and Picks for 2024/25

RANKINGS - FANTASY PREMIER LEAGUE, SOCCER

FPL Gameweek 16 rankings, predictions, tips, and picks for Fantasy Premier League lineups. RotoBaller's EPL fantasy Gameweek 16 rankings for the 2024/25 FPL season.

Welcome to the FPL Gameweek 16 rankings, RotoBallers! It's a bit calmer than last week in FPL, but there are still plenty of midweek games in the European competitions.

The Manchester derby headlines the fixture list for Gameweek 16. The Red Devils will hope to deal another blow to Man City's quickly fading title hopes. Meanwhile, Pep Guardiola and company will look to show their neighbors who still rule the city.

The Gameweek 16 deadline for the 2024/25 Fantasy Premier League season is Saturday, December 14, at 8:30 a.m. ET, with four-afternoon games. Also, check out the rest of our excellent soccer coverage as the squad gets you all set for every English Premier League slate and UEFA Champions League game with our EPL DFS lineup picks and betting picks.

 

Fantasy Premier League - Gameweek 16 Rankings

Our weekly rankings highlight players who could be worth a punt in your Fantasy Premier League squad. While the rankings will be filled with familiar names, a low-owned player with an easy fixture will rise through the charts.

For each gameweek, we will provide our top 15 goalkeepers, defenders, midfielders, and forwards. These can also be applied as DFS rankings for your weekend contests. Take advantage of our Friday updates to account for any injuries or team news breaking later in the week.

 

FPL Gameweek 15 High Scorers

Goalkeeper: Emmy Martinez, AVL - 6 points

Defender: William Saliba, ARS - 9 points

Midfielder: Cole Palmer, CHE - 18 points

Forward: Jamie Vardy, LEI - 12 points

 

FPL Goalkeepers - Gameweek 16 Rankings

Matz Sels (£4.7m) and the Nottingham Forest defense have had a tough few weeks, with games against Man United, Man City, and Arsenal. However, the Belgian shot-stopper has kept three clean sheets in his last four home contests and will attempt to keep Aston Villa out of the net on Saturday evening.

Things aren't all hunky-dory at Tottenham these days after one point from the last three games. Ange Postecoglou's seat at the club will get a lot hotter if they suffer a defeat against Southampton on Sunday. However, Spurs should keep the Saints off the board and give Fraser Forster (£4.3m) his first clean sheet since stepping in between the sticks.

FPL Defenders - Gameweek 16 Rankings

After missing a few games with a hamstring injury, Trent Alexander-Arnold (£7.0m) has returned to the Liverpool squad. He came on in the second half of the Newcastle match and instantly made a difference with two assists.

A welcome weekend off should mean the Reds get healthier, and it wouldn't surprise anyone to see them keep a clean sheet versus Fulham while TAA grabs another attacking return.

FPL Midfielders - Gameweek 16 Rankings

Is it cold here, or is it just another ice-cold performance from Cole Palmer (£11.1m)? The Chelsea midfielder added his fourth, fifth, and sixth returns in the last three gameweeks versus Spurs on the weekend. Combining the Englishman and Mohamed Salah (£13.3m) gives plenty of FPL managers the confidence to go against Erling Haaland every weekend.

FPL Forwards - Gameweek 16 Rankings

Alexander Isak (£8.6m) has three returns in the last two games and is starting to hit his stride for the 2024/25 campaign. While he doesn't cover Erling Haaland, he enables FPL squads to beef up their midfielders with a couple of players from Bukayo Saka (£10.5m), Cole Palmer, and Mohamed Salah.
