Liverpool forward Mohamed Salah is on course to break the all-time points record in the popular Fantasy Premier League (FPL) game.

Previously most famous in fantasy football circles for inspiring some of the best fantasy football teams names, Salah has already set a new record for the most points (320) in a single FPL season and still has another five games to add to his tally.

He broke his own record that was set in 2017/18 when he finished the campaign on 303 points and he could feasibly break the 350-points barrier this term.

Salah’s efforts during 2024/25 have made him the top performing Liverpool player in FPL, overtaking midfielder Steven Gerrard who previously held third place.

Only Wayne Rooney (2,338 points) and Frank Lampard (2,318 points) are ahead of Salah in the all-time standings and he will likely overhaul both of them next season.

He is 243 points behind the former Manchester United striker heading into Gameweek 34 and looks nailed on to reduce that deficit between now and the end of the season.

Salah has totalled 211 points or more in each of the last eight seasons, so should claim top spot in 2025/26 if he continues his stellar form and steers clear of major injuries.

Only three other current players feature alongside Salah in the all-time FPL top 10 – James Milner, Raheem Sterling and Heung-min Son.

However, Son is the only one of that group to garner more than 100 points this season, meaning Salah has no competition in the race to claim top spot.

All-time FPL points top 10

PLAYER	APPEARANCES	POINTS
Wayne Rooney	491	2,338
Frank Lampard	424	2,318
Mohamed Salah	296	2,095
Steven Gerrard	402	2,044
Petr Cech	443	1,908
John Terry	320	1,908
Harry Kane	320	1,891
James Milner	637	1,877
Raheem Sterling	394	1,851
Heung-min Son	331	1,727

Haaland could be a long-term threat to Salah

Salah’s rise up the FPL rankings is particularly impressive when considering he has broken through the 2,000-points barrier in less than 300 games.

Lampard garnered his tally of 2,318 points in 424 appearances, while Rooney amassed his 2,338 points in 491 matches.

If Salah maintains his average of around seven points per game over the next couple of seasons, his FPL tally would be somewhere around 2,560 points.

Of the current crop of Premier League players, only Manchester City striker Erling Braut Haaland has a realistic chance of getting anywhere near Salah’s mark.

The Norwegian star racked up 489 points in his first two seasons in the English top flight and added another 171 this term before picking up an ankle injury.

Man City expect Haaland to return to action before the end of the campaign and he could add to his overall tally of 660 points if he hits the ground running.

If Salah decides to leave Liverpool when his contract expires in 2027, the pathway would be clear for Haaland to try and catch him in the FPL points standings.

Based on his current FPL points average, it would take Haaland another nine seasons to pass the mark Salah is currently on course to set.

However, given that the Man City striker has made no secret of his desire to play in La Liga one day, he may ultimately have to settle for a place in the all-time top 10.
