Aston Villa FPL winners and losers from Gameweek 18: Ollie Watkins leads the way for claret and blue loyalists
Aston Villa kept their winning run alive in the Premier League by with a remarkable festive victory over Chelsea.
Villa players have certainly been a mixed bag in terms of Fantasy Premier League points this season but a handful of them are gradually striding towards something that looks a bit like a normal campaign. Needless to say, Villa’s real life progress has been a team effort.
Let’s check in with last week’s scores in the Premier League’s official FPL game and see how the Villa boys have been getting on. Don’t forget – your chips will reset after this gameweek!
Top Aston Villa FPL scorers in GW18
With two goals off the bench against Chelsea, Villa striker Ollie Watkins tops the squad’s scoring ranking this week with a very healthy return of 12 points, five higher than the next Villa player, Youri Tielemans.
He is now Villa’s third-highest scorer with 67 points for the season, eight more than goalkeeper Emiliano Martínez.
Morgan Rogers wasn’t a big winner in GW18 but tops the Villa list with 92 total points for the season. Matty Cash has 76 points in all.
After a slow start, Rogers has flown up the FPL rankings. He is now the eighth-highest scorer in the game in 2025/26.

AVF FPL update GW18
There’s no positional change in the top four of our AVF FPL league but Abdelrhman Gooda in second place is now just seven points behind long-time league leader Gary James.
Rich Ludlow is third and Warren Torch fourth, with Amber Barnard now sitting in the top five.
Our top scorer in a pretty modest week was Amr Elghazaly with a mighty 77 points to move past the 1000-point mark and into the top 20. 29 of those points came because of a bench boost – nicely done.
Lucy Smith remains in last place with 37 points for GW18. I’m 45th. It’ll do for now.
