With the next Fantasy Premier League (FPL) deadline following hot on the heels of Gameweek 17, we’re trying to cram in as much content as possible before Friday’s 18:15 GMT deadline.
So our regular team reveals this week take the form of an ‘all-in-one’, with four of our top contributors – Pras, Sonaldo, Zophar and Tom Freeman – sharing their Gameweek 18 plans in this article.

I’m perfectly happy to roll this week.
My thinking is as follows: my priority is to get Aleksandar Mitrovic (£7.0m) and perhaps a Chelsea attacker for Double Gameweek 19, which will go down to who I think I will captain that week. Therefore, players that could go are Anthony Martial (£6.7m), Darwin Nunez (£9.0m) and Miguel Almiron (£5.9m), while Mason Mount (£7.5m), Kai Havertz (£7.8m) or Mitrovic could come in.
I’m happy to wait on Mitrovic to see him go through another game without picking up a fifth yellow card and see how the injury situation is developing. The only way I go for him this week is if there are pre-deadline leaks of a Darwin benching, which is improbable but you never know.
I’m not stressed about replacing Reece James (£5.8m) until I know the situation regarding Gameweeks 20/21, Doubles which we’ll likely only know after Gameweek 19. An Arsenal defender ready to step in is never a bad option to have, even with the slightly trickier fixtures.
