Gameweek 18 Rankings - Fantasy Premier League Predictions, Tips, and Picks for 2024/25

RANKINGS - FANTASY PREMIER LEAGUE, SOCCER

FPL Gameweek 18 rankings, predictions, tips, and picks for Fantasy Premier League lineups. RotoBaller's EPL fantasy Gameweek 18 rankings for the 2024/25 FPL season.

Welcome to the FPL Gameweek 18 rankings, RotoBallers! The FPL world is a bit hectic right now, but have no fear—our rankings are here!

There are two helpings of post-Christmas football to consume, and plenty of FPL points are available. Enjoy the two days of football, and prepare for a rapid recovery ahead of Gameweek 19 on Sunday.

The Gameweek 18 deadline for the 2024/25 Fantasy Premier League season is Thursday, December 26, at 6:00 a.m. ET, when Man City meets Everton. 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 18 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.
