Liverpool’s Mohamed Salah celebrates with the Premier League trophy after the Premier League match … More
As the 2024/25 Premier League season came to an end, Mohamed Salah swept up the individual awards, having inspired his team, Liverpool FC, to the Premier League title. In doing so, he also broke records in the league’s official fantasy football game, Fantasy Premier League.
Given the season the 32-year-old has had, it’s no surprise he’s topping statistics-based charts as well as winning awards handed out after subjective voting.
Going into the final weekend of the season, Salah had already won the prestigious Football Writers Association (FWA) Footballer of the Year award, having received 90% of the votes from FWA members—the biggest winning margin for the award this century.
He was then named the official Premier League player of the season, voted for partly by the public and partly by an expert panel, and was presented with the award after scoring in Liverpool’s 1-1 draw with Crystal Palace in the final game of the season.
On top of this, he was handed the Golden Boot and the Playmaker award, having topped the charts for both goals and assists in the English Premier League this season.
Salah finished the campaign with 29 goals and 18 assists. In both categories, he finished six ahead of the next best players, both of Newcastle United, Alexander Isak, who finished on 23 goals, and Jacob Murphy, who made 12 assists.
Salah’s combined total for goals and assists in 2024/25 was 47, far ahead of the next best player (Isak on 29).
It was also the joint-most goals and assists combined in a Premier League season in the league’s history, joining Andrew Cole, who achieved this tally in 1993/94 for Newcastle United, and Alan Shearer, who did so in 1994/95 while playing for Blackburn Rovers.
Salah’s achievement is even more impressive, though, as it was done in a 38-game season, while Cole’s and Shearer’s were over 42 games.
FPL Records
LIVERPOOL, ENGLAND – MAY 25: Mohamed Salah of Liverpool poses for a photo with his Premier League … More
It is perhaps no surprise, then, that Salah has scored the most points ever in a Fantasy Premier League season, finishing the 2024/25 campaign with a total of 344 points.
It beats the previous record of 303, set by Salah himself in 2017/18, by some distance.
The closest other player to Salah’s FPL records is Luis Suárez, who racked up 295 points, also for Liverpool, in 2013/14.
Salah’s 55 bonus points achieved in the 2024/25 season is also a record, surpassing the 54 collected by Cesc Fabregas in 2006/07.
To add another FPL milestone to the list, he also became the top-scoring Liverpool player of all time in the game when he overtook Steven Gerrard’s total of 2,044.
Salah’s FPL points total for Liverpool is 2,085 across eight seasons, while his grand total, including his two seasons with Chelsea, is 2,119, meaning only Wayne Rooney (2,338) and Frank Lampard (2,318) have more in the history of FPL.
FPL records mean little compared to Salah’s real achievements for Liverpool during his time there, but they do support what fans have seen watching him play this season, the individual awards he’s won, and reinforce how far ahead he’s been of all the other players in the league.
More To Come?
Speaking on Egyptian TV this weekend, Salah said he believes he can play until he’s 39 or 40, which will give him another seven or eight years in the game.
Whether these are all in the Premier League remains to be seen, but with a new two-year contract signed with Liverpool, he has a pretty good chance of overtaking Lampard and Rooney and becoming the all-time Fantasy Premier League points scorer.
He is also targeting the big individual honour, the Ballon d’Or, and shows no signs of letting up in terms of his ambition to win trophies with Liverpool and Egypt. It’s good news for Liverpool, and for anyone who happens to have him in their fantasy team.
