Mohamed Salah Sets Fantasy Premier League Price Record for 2025/26 Season

Liverpool star Mohamed Salah has broken the Fantasy Premier League (FPL) record for the highest starting price for a midfielder, set at £14.5 million for the 2025/26 Premier League season. The price, announced on July 21, 2025, surpasses the previous record of £14.0 million set by Cristiano Ronaldo in 2008/09, reflecting Salah’s extraordinary 2024/25 campaign where he smashed the FPL single-season points record with 344 points.

Record-Breaking 2024/25 Season
Salah, classified as a midfielder in FPL, delivered 29 goals and 18 assists in 38 Premier League matches, totaling 47 goal involvements—the most in a 38-game season, surpassing Thierry Henry and Erling Haaland’s 44. His 344 points eclipsed his own 2017/18 record of 303, with 55 bonus points breaking Cesc Fabregas’ 2006/07 mark of 54. Salah’s season included 18 double-digit hauls, with a standout 21-point performance against Tottenham in Gameweek 17 (two goals, two assists). He also set a new record for away game involvements with 23 (14 goals, nine assists), beating a 31-year-old mark.

FPL Price and Impact
Salah’s £14.5 million price edges out Haaland’s £14.0 million, making him the most expensive FPL player for 2025/26. Despite the high cost, his consistency—never scoring fewer than 23 goals in a season and starting every 2024/25 league match—makes him a prime pick. With new Liverpool signings like Florian Wirtz (£8.5 million) and potential additions like Hugo Ekitike, Salah’s output could rise further under Arne Slot’s attacking system. However, Liverpool’s tough opening fixtures against Bournemouth, Newcastle, and Arsenal may challenge early returns.

Context and Outlook
Salah’s record-breaking season earned him the 2024/25 EA SPORTS Player of the Season, Golden Boot, and Playmaker awards, a historic trifecta. His new two-year contract, signed in April 2025, secures his Liverpool future until 2027, with the 32-year-old eyeing Wayne Rooney’s all-time FPL points record (2,253 points; Salah needs 253 more). While some FPL managers debate selling him for players like Haaland due to Liverpool’s Gameweek 29 blank last season, his reliability and 1.5 attacking returns per match make him a mainstay for many.

Developing Story
As the Premier League kicks off in mid-August, Salah’s £14.5 million price will test FPL managers’ budgets, but his proven track record suggests he’ll remain a top choice. For updates, visit GeoKHub.
