FPL Gameweek 21 rankings, predictions, tips, and picks for Fantasy Premier League lineups. RotoBaller's EPL fantasy Gameweek 21 rankings for the 2024-25 FPL season.
Welcome to the FPL Gameweek 21 rankings, RotoBallers! We've had a week and a half off from FPL to take care of some domestic cup business. However, you'll have to wake up from your post-holiday slumber as there are two gameweek deadlines in the next six days.
There are some injuries to monitor ahead of the deadline, like Alexander Isak (knee) and Jurrien Timber (hamstring), but it's been a reasonably quiet period on the injury front. Bukayo Saka (hamstring) is the only massive FPL name still on the shelf.
The Gameweek 21 deadline for the 2024-25 Fantasy Premier League season is Tuesday, January 14, at 1:00 p.m. EST, when three games kickoff. Also, check out the rest of our excellent soccer coverage as the squad gets you all set for every EPL and UCL slate with our DFS lineup picks and betting picks.
Fantasy Premier League - Gameweek 21 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.
