Erling Haaland (£12.2m) became the first player to reach 100 points in Fantasy Premier League this season as he continued his excellent start with a goal in Manchester City's 4-0 win over Southampton and continued to set records in FPL.

However, the 350,000+ managers who Triple-Captained him, a record for a non-Double Gameweek, will have been hoping for more than six points, as his run of three successive hat-tricks at home came to an end.

Salah 1,013 DGW26 of 2021/22
Kane 359 DGW32 of 2020/21
Haaland 350 GW10

Haaland broke yet more ground in Fantasy, becoming the most-owned and the most-captained player ever in a Gameweek. 

The Norwegian was handed the armband by over 7.1million people, a record 67 per cent of all managers, as his ownership hit 84 per cent, surpassing the previous high of 82.4 per cent set by Gabriel Jesus (£8.0m) in Gameweek 4.

Salah 655 2
Jesus 620 5

Jesus took third spot in the captaincy stakes, behind Mohamed Salah (£12.7m) in second.

And the Brazilian earned an assist and five points in Arsenal's 3-2 win over Liverpool on Sunday, while Salah failed to add to his fine record against the Gunners.

The Egyptian, who produced 80 points in his 11 previous appearances against Arsenal, blanked and was substituted after 72 minutes.

Foden 770 11

Following his 20-point haul last weekend, his best return in Fantasy, Leandro Trossard (£6.7m) was snapped up by more than 925,000 managers. But the Brighton & Hove Albion winger blanked in the 1-0 defeat to Tottenham Hotspur, returning just two points.  

The second most-bought player, James Maddison (£8.2m), was also unable to back up his support and follow up his best return in Fantasy as he blanked in Leicester City's 2-1 defeat at AFC Bournemouth. Maddison picked up a yellow card, giving his 807,000+ new owners just a single point, while he is now one yellow card away from a suspension.

There was better news for those who recruited Phil Foden (£8.1m) as he scored for the third successive match and also supplied an assist to earn back-to-back double figure hauls. Foden's total of 62 points after bonus is his best tally after 10 Gameweeks across his six seasons in Fantasy.

Mitrovic 874 0
Alexander-Arnold 769 0
Salah 755 2

Despite being the second most-captained player, Salah was also among the most-sold.

Salah has failed to reach the heights of last season, when he had a remarkable 107 points after nine Gameweeks, as Liverpool have underwhelmed.

He joins team-mate Trent Alexander-Arnold (£7.3m) in the top three transferred out for the second time in three Gameweeks. The Liverpool defender's doubters were justified in selling him as he came off at half-time with an injury to return 0 points.

Fitness concerns meant that Aleksandar Mitrovic (£6.8m) was shipped out in large numbers, and the Serb did indeed miss Fulham's 3-1 defeat to West Ham United.
