For the first time in 32 Gameweeks, Mohamed Salah (£13.1m) is the top captain pick in Fantasy Premier League.
More than 3.0million managers have handed him the armband for Liverpool's highly-anticipated encounter with Manchester City on Sunday.
The Egyptian has averaged 10 points per match on his way to the top of the Fantasy player standings, 36 ahead of his premium-priced rival, Erling Haaland (£15.1m).
Not only has Salah broken Haaland's stranglehold on the captaincy but he's also surpassed him in terms of ownership.
Snapped up by more than 2m Fantasy bosses since Gameweek 10, Salah is now the most-selected player in Fantasy, found in 56.8 per cent of squads.
In contrast, the Norwegian has been among the two most-sold players in each of the last three Gameweeks, a period which has seen his ownership fall from 71.9 per cent to 51.8 per cent.
