Salah breaks the FPL points record
Mohamed Salah (£13.8m) has broken the record – his own! – for the most Fantasy Premier League (FPL) points in a single season.
The Liverpool midfielder netted a brace in the Reds’ 3-1 win over Southampton on Saturday to take his total for the campaign to 306 points. That’s three more than the previous tally he set in the 2017/18 campaign.
Salah set his previous milestone in an extraordinary first campaign for the Reds.
Then, Salah reached 303 points in 34 starts and two run-outs as a substitute.
This time, he’s smashed that record in seven fewer appearances (29 starts).
With a remarkable nine league matches to spare, he could yet lay down a marker not even he will ever be able to reach again.
Salah’s performances this campaign have been simply extraordinary. The 32-year-old has produced 44 attacking returns in 29 appearances, including 17 double-digit hauls and 51 bonus points.
He has blank on only four occasions.
The Egypt international has also scored 126 points more than his nearest challenger, Cole Palmer (£11.0m).
The Liverpool talisman’s biggest single-match สมัคร ufabet กับเรา รับโบนัสทันที haul this season came against Tottenham Hotspur in Gameweek 17 when he scored two and assisted two for a total of 21 points.
The all-time FPL leaderboard is now occupied by three Liverpool players.
When Salah became the first player to break the 300-point barrier, he eclipsed Luis Suarez. Who had fallen just short of the triple-ton four seasons earlier.
