Another Gameweek, another double-figure haul for the incomparable Mohamed Salah (£13.4m) in Fantasy Premier League.
The Egyptian recorded a season-high 21 points as Liverpool beat Tottenham Hotspur 6-3, thanks to two goals, two assists and maximum bonus. It was his 11th double-digit return this season - only once before has he registered more across a whole season.
The monster haul also ranks among his best of all-time as he extended his lead at the top the player standings to 46 points.
Only twice before has Salah produced more points in a match.
His career high was a 29-point score against Watford in Gameweek 31 of 2017/18 Fantasy, followed by a 24-point return at Manchester United in Gameweek 9 of 2021/22.
Salah's best returns in Fantasy
| Opponents | Gameweek | Pts |
|---|---|---|
| Watford | GW31 in 2017/18 | 29 |
| Man Utd | GW9 in 2021/22 | 24 |
| Spurs | GW17 in 2024/25 | 21 |
| Bournemouth | GW16 in 2018/19 | 21 |
| Man Utd | GW26 in 2022/23 | 21 |
Alexander Isak (£8.9m) was the only other member of the top five captains to return in a Gameweek of contrasting fortunes for Fantasy managers.
Isak rewarded the 547,000+ who handed him the armband with his first Premier League hat-trick and 17 points as Newcastle United beat Ipswich Town 4-0.
But there was disappointment elsewhere as Erling Haaland (£14.9m), Bukayo Saka (£10.6m) and Cole Palmer (£11.2m) all blanked.
