Top 200 Fantasy Premier League Draft Ranks

The Top 200 has dropped as we gear up for FPL draft season

We’re talking the best of the best and all the rest in FPL draft! The summer transfer window is starting to heat up, but the incoming names haven’t yet shaken up the top of our 2024/25 fantasy premier league draft ranks. A few names (Darwin Núñez, Julián Álvarez and Emi Buendia) are tentatively ranked but below their overall value with questions (suspension, transfer and injury, respectively) still lingering.

A couple of names (Conor Gallagher and Pascal Gross) have dropped out due to transfers nearing or already completed. If I’ve missed anyone, let me know in the comments; this is a living document and that means players some times slip through.

The biggest mover is Fulham’s newest signing Emile Smith Rowe, who was unranked when still with Arsenal but has slotted in just inside the Top 100 and inside the top 40 midfielders meaning he is anticipated to be an every week starter in Marco Silva’s squad. When last an every week starter in the EPL, Smith Rowe was good for better than eight points per start and averaged exactly 8 PPM across his 33 appearances (21 starts) with 10 goals and a pair of assist to his name. Ryan Sessegnon, on loan from Tottenham, is also new to the ranks, at DEF 42. I have been a big support of Sessegnon’s skillset for a long time, but the abject failure to adapt and advance within the setup at Spurs has to be considered. There are mitigating factors, not least of which the revolving door managing the club, but it’s perhaps equally damming that he couldn’t click with any of them. When last with the Cottagers, Sess was scoring for fun in the Championship where he netted 15 times in 45 Championship matches then followed it with two goals, six assists in his debut Premier League season.

Top 200 Fantasy Premier League 2024/25

The one substantive rating that I’ve changed it dropping Manchester United’s Rasmus Hojlund dropping precipitously and Jadon Sancho coming in on FWD 19. Sancho is going to win titles or break hearts this season and I doubt there’s much chance of this year unfolding in milquetoast fashion. Hojlund’s drop is exacerbated by the inclusion of Callum Wilson, still dealing with injury recovery. Finally, the arrival of Ismaïla Sarr, back in the Premier League with Crystal Palace after a season in Ligue 1 with Marseille, is somewhat anticlimactic. Only three goals with four assists as he struggled to lock down a place in the starting XI last season means Sarr will only rise from here if there are further outgoing players in London.

In the defender ranks, I’ve left Destiny Udogie, Pervis Estupinan and Levi Colwill out of the Top 200 right now. Defender is moderately deep in the middle ranks and none of these guys are going to make or break your roster this season. Taking any of them after the top 20 defenders are off the board is justifiable and that will carry them outside the top 100 overall, in any event.

EDITOR’S NOTE: Nice catch and thank you to Djidji for noting Robertson was incorrectly listed twice. Explained in comments but reposted here, too. This was a problem caused by having a 'placeholder' for Destiny Udogie, who would have been my No. 12 (see, even the edits need editing) defender if he had been healthy. For whatever reason, I typo'd Robertson in there, then in isolation failed to notice he was there twice (once in the placeholder spot) and appropriately adjusted him up to the top of Tier 2 based on Robertson's projection.

I have now updated the sheet, given the recent update on Udogie's health and have inserted him back into the player ranks, corrected the Top 200 accordingly and this is the edit of the post to note that because Udogie looks like he may be healthy for the start of the season that he is worth taking inside the top 100 draft picks. Nice catch and thank you.

Robertson should be properly rated No. 21. Udogie will NOT be ranked as No. 35. In fact, he is No. 72 directly between Munoz and Pereira.
