After Mohamed Salah announced that he will be leaving Liverpool at the end of the season, we're asking whether the Egyptian is the best player ever in Fantasy Premier League.
We’ve selected 10 of the greatest players in Fantasy and now it’s over to you to vote for your favourite below.
Scroll down to read about each player.
Mohamed Salah (Chelsea, Liverpool)
When it comes to picking Fantasy’s best player ever, it’s hard to look beyond Salah.
He’s the only player to register over 300 points in a season - and he’s managed to do it TWICE. The Egyptian is the only player to feature in the end-of-season Dream Team on eight separate occasions, and he’s done so in eight successive seasons. And he's the ONLY player to finish top of the Fantasy player standings four times.
Having made his Premier League debut at Chelsea, it wasn’t until he arrived at Liverpool in 2017/18 that his career really took off. In his first season, he recorded 15 double-figure hauls and scored 32 goals, becoming the first player to break through the 300-point barrier.
But the arrival of Arne Slot pushed him to new heights. Under the Dutchman, Salah became the quickest player to reach 200 points, needing just 18 matches to do so in 2024/25 Fantasy, eventually finishing on a scarcely believable 344 points. That tally included 18 double-digit hauls.
To top it off, he’s even recorded the most-points ever in a single match, thanks to a 29-point haul in a 5-0 win at home to Watford in 2017/18.
Trent Alexander-Arnold (Liverpool)
Alexander-Arnold is the only defender to surpass 200 points in two separate seasons, doing so first in 2019/20 and again in 2021/22.
Many will have fond memories of his best-ever Gameweek score of 24 points in Liverpool's 4-0 win away to Leicester City in 2019/20. He had a hand in all four goals, scoring one and assisting three.
Erling Haaland (Man City)
Haaland has broken new ground in Fantasy, becoming the most-expensive, the most-selected, the most-captained and the most-Triple-Captained player in a Gameweek.
Manchester City’s Norwegian was handed a starting price of £15.0m for the 2024/25 campaign, a full £1.0m more than any player previously.
His ownership climbed to a staggering 92.5 per cent in Gameweek 6 of 2023/24 Fantasy. That round saw him captained by over 7.9million managers for a home match against Nottingham Forest. Both remain all-time highs. Later in the season, he set the record for Triple-Captaincy when over 1.3m people opted to treble his score in Double Gameweek 25.
Thierry Henry (Arsenal)
The first player to reach 1,000 career points, Fantasy’s trailblazer is one of just three players, along with Salah and Lampard, to record four consecutive seasons with at least 200 points.
Fantasy’s inaugural campaign in 2002/03 was Henry’s best as he combined 24 goals with 23 assists to deliver 271 points. The talisman of Arsenal’s “Invincibles” side in 2003/04, his best period of form came at the start of the following season, with his 53 points over the first four matches remaining the fastest start in Fantasy for 20 years, until Haaland surpassed it in 2024/25.
Harry Kane (Norwich, Spurs)
Tottenham Hotspur’s Kane is the only forward to make the Dream Team seven times.
Across 11 seasons in Fantasy, he scored 212 goals and provided 61 assists, giving him a total of 1,891 points. Kane fared particularly well when it came to bonus points, receiving 293 in his career, and being the only player to earn over 30 bonus points a season on six separate occasions.
Frank Lampard (Chelsea)
Lampard was Fantasy’s original Mr. Consistency. In the first eight seasons of FPL, he only failed to make the Dream Team on one occasion, with his seven appearances only surpassed by Salah’s eight. Chelsea’s star midfielder was also explosive, producing four goals, an assist and three bonus points in a 7-1 win over Aston Villa in 2009/10. Had Chelsea kept a clean sheet, the extra point gained would have moved him up to 29 points, level with Salah’s tally from that 5-0 win over Watford.
Lampard does better Salah when it comes to career points, however. Across his 13 seasons in Fantasy, he totalled 2,318 putting him second on the all-time list behind Wayne Rooney and 102 ahead of Liverpool’s Egyptian.
Cristiano Ronaldo (Man Utd)
Arguably the greatest footballer to ever play in the Premier League, Ronaldo became a staple in Fantasy teams at his peak between 2006/07 and 2008/09. The Portuguese registered successive totals of 244, 283 and 206 points in that time.
Such was the clamour for his services on his return to the Premier League that more than 2.2m managers recruited him in Gameweek 4 of 2021/22 Fantasy. No player has ever been bought in greater numbers in a Gameweek.
Wayne Rooney (Everton, Man Utd)
No player in FPL history has amassed more points than Rooney. In a career spanning 16 seasons, he collected an astonishing 2,338 points. The key to Rooney’s success was his consistency - he produced at least 10 attacking returns in each of those 16 campaigns.
That alone would be enough to consider Rooney the best player ever in Fantasy, but there’s more: he also holds the record for the highest-ever Gameweek score. Across two matches in January 2010, Rooney racked up a remarkable 32 points, courtesy of five goals, an assist and six bonus points.
Luis Suarez (Liverpool)
If there’s one player other than Salah who can make a legitimate claim to having had the greatest-ever season in Fantasy, it’s Liverpool’s Luis Suarez. In 2013/14 Fantasy, Suarez was on fire, amassing 295 points thanks to 30 goals and 25 assists. His total of 55 attacking returns is EIGHT more than Salah managed when setting the all-time record points total last season.
The Uruguayan’s stellar campaign is made all the more impressive when you consider that he didn’t take a single penalty and that he missed the first five games as he completed a 10-match ban carried over from 2012/13.
John Terry (Chelsea)
Terry was part of the Chelsea side that conceded just 15 goals in 2004/05, keeping an extraordinary 25 clean sheets. A talismanic central defender, he totalled 196 points in that campaign, and had he not missed the last two matches, he would surely have become the first defender to net 200 points in a season.
His price reached a whopping £9.0m towards the end of that phenomenal season, making him the most-expensive defender there has ever been in Fantasy.
