Who Will Be The Top Fantasy Football Points Scorers 2025/26?

The new FPL season is almost upon us, so with that in mind we thought we’d look back to see which players were the top Fantasy Football points scorers last season (2024/25) as we all get ready to pick our teams. 

Fantasy Football Points Scorers 2024/25 Headed By Mo Salah 

With FPL fever hotting-up by the day and managers refreshing the Google search term ‘when does the new FPL launch’ by the hour – a lot of people will want reminding which players hit the most Fantasy Football points last season.

This can often be a good starting point when trying to squeeze the best players into your teams and will be a big tip when reading the latest FPL 2025/26 previews.

The Premier League opening weekend fixtures start on Friday 15th August, with Liverpool hosting Bournemouth in the first game of the 2025/26 season.

So, let’s look at the FPL big hitters from last season.

Top 10 Fantasy Football Points Scorers 2024/25

No shocker here as Liverpool’s Mo Salah topped the tree as the leading FPL points scorer for the 2024/25 season with a monster 344pts.

The Egyptian hitman was, however, in most squads – and with that record haul of FPL points will again be one of the most expensive buys for 2025/26.

Salah’s Fantasy League points were thanks to a staggering 29 league goals and 18 assists that also helped Liverpool win their second Premier League title.

Don’t forget Salah is also Liverpool’s main penalty taker, so this is another area worth looking at when selecting the players for your 15-man squad.

What made Mo Salah’s FPL points tally for last season even more remarkable is that he was over 100 points clear of the second – Bryan Mbeumo.

Salah’s Fantasy Football points haul was also the biggest by a player in the history of the FPL – beating his own record by 41 points.

But ahead of the 2025/26 season. don’t forget that Mo Salah is likely to be involved in AFCON action between later December and the middle of January in Morocco.

How Does The Fantasy Football Points System Work?

See below how you can score Fantasy Football points in each game.

If you are lucky enough to see your goalkeeper get a goal – this is the biggest FPL points winner with 10pts.

However, this is, of course, rare – but a striker netting will bag you four points, a midfielder five and a defender finding the back of the net six points.

A clean sheet is rewarded with four points for a keeper and defender – plus one point for a midfielder.

We’ve listed all the ways you can score below.

Value Buy Bryan Mbeumo The Second-Most FPL Points Scorer In 2024/25

Before the 2024/25 FPL season, one of the big value buys was Brentford’s Bryan Mbeumo – who cost just £7m at the start of the campaign.

Mbeumo fired in 20 league goals for the Bees and added to that with nine assists.

While, like Salah – Mbeumo is also the spot-kick taker for Brentford.

Next season, however, the striker might not be a Bee – with strong Bryan Mbeumo transfer speculation that he’ll be joining Manchester United.

Let’s see. But one thing’s for sure – he won’t start next season as cheap as £7m.

Who Are The All-Time Top Fantasy Football Points Scorers?

It’s that man again.

As already mentioned, Mo Salah’s FPL points tally for 2024/25 was the most ever recorded by a player.

That 344 total beat his own record of 303 – and the Liverpool man is now featuring twice in the top five all-time Fantasy Football points scorers of all-time.

Salah is also one of the leading fancies to be the 2025/26 top goalscorer with the best betting sites at 4/1 – but is behind Erling Haaland as the 5/4 favourite.

When Does The New 2025/26 FPL Season Start?

It’s not confirmed yet – but the ability to start adding players to your FPL teams is expected to open very soon.

Last season, the Fantasy Football launch was on 17th July 24 – so it should be any day now.

Ahead of the new season, Liverpool are already the favourites with the best football betting sites in the UK – priced at 9/4.
