With 10 Gameweeks to go, Liverpool forward Mohamed Salah has broken the record for the most FPL points in a single season.
Salah added to his impressive Premier League tally on Saturday, scoring his 27th goal as Arne Slot’s Liverpool secured a 3-1 victory against bottom-placed Southampton, extending their lead to 16 points over title challengers Arsenal.
The Egyptian star will earn 15 points (including bonus points) for the 72 percent of Fantasy Premier League managers who selected him this weekend, bringing his season total to an extraordinary 306 points.
This remarkable achievement means Salah has surpassed his own previous record of 303 points, which he established during his debut Liverpool season in 2017/18.
FPL History Maker: Salah’s Record-Breaking Performance
The 32-year-old stands alone in Fantasy Premier League history as the only player to accumulate more than 300 points in a single campaign. His closest competitor, Luis Suarez, reached 295 points at his peak.
Looking ahead to the season’s conclusion on May 25, if Salah maintains his current average of 10.6 points per match, he could potentially finish with an astonishing 401 total points.
Liverpool’s remaining fixture list includes:
- Everton (Merseyside derby)
- Fulham
- West Ham
- Leicester City
- Tottenham Hotspur
- Chelsea
- Arsenal (title rivals)
- Brighton
- Crystal Palace
According to the Premier League website, Salah collected 98 points in the reverse fixtures against these remaining opponents, making the 400-point milestone a genuine possibility considering his current form.
Fantasy Managers and Fans React to Salah’s FPL Dominance
Social media has erupted with praise for Salah’s fantasy football performance:
“There’s still half of March, April and May to go.”
“FPL Heritage. There will never be another like him.”
“I haven’t touched my FPL since January but my Salah captaincy has been saving me.”
“303 points already in GW28, he might even break 400 points this season.”
“He is absolutely on fire this season. King of FPL for a reason.”
The 2023/24 campaign has truly been exceptional for Salah, who has contributed to 44 Premier League goals thus far (27 goals, 17 assists). This matches the record for most goal involvements by a player in a 38-game Premier League season.
Salah’s consistency in fantasy football has made him an essential selection for serious FPL managers. His ability to deliver points through goals, assists, and bonus points makes him perhaps the most reliable premium asset in the game’s history.
