Welcome to the FPL Gameweek 17 rankings, RotoBallers! Many of our FPL stars got some rest during the midweek Caraco Cup ties, which should boost our prospects of some high-scoring matches for FPL purposes.
Spurs and Liverpool were drawn against each other in the Carabao Cup semifinals but will first meet on Sunday in London. These games usually produce fireworks at both ends of the pitch, so Mohamed Salah is an excellent Captaincy pick for Gameweek 17.
The Gameweek 17 deadline for the 2024/25 Fantasy Premier League season is Saturday, December 21, at 6:00 a.m. ET, when Aston Villa welcomes Man City down South. 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 17 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.
