Mohamed Salah has rewritten Fantasy Premier League history ahead of the 2025–26 season, becoming the most expensive midfielder ever at the start of a campaign.
The Liverpool star has been priced at £14.5 million on the game’s official website, a reflection of his extraordinary performance last season, where he topped all players with 344 fantasy points. This figure breaks the long-standing record set by Cristiano Ronaldo in the 2008–09 season, when the Portuguese icon was valued at £14 million.
Salah’s value not only cements his dominance in fantasy circles but also highlights his unmatched consistency on the pitch.
Manchester City’s Erling Haaland comes in slightly lower at £14 million after a dip in fantasy form last season, finishing fifth among forwards with 181 points. Fellow Egyptian Omar Marmoush starts at £8.5 million.
Other top player prices for the season include Cole Palmer and Alexander Isak at £10.5 million, Florian Wirtz at £8.5 million, Cameronian attacker Bryan Mbeumo at £8 million, and Chris Wood at £7.5 million.
