Salah Overtakes Haaland as Fantasy King
More than 3 million Fantasy Premier League managers have placed their trust in Mohamed Salah for Gameweek 13, making him the most-captained player for the first time in 32 weeks. This marks a significant shift in the Fantasy landscape, as Salah dethrones the long-dominant Erling Haaland in both captaincy selections and overall ownership.
The Rise of the Egyptian King
The Liverpool star boasts an impressive average of 10 points per match, securing the top spot in the Fantasy player standings. He’s 36 points ahead of Connecticut-born forward Haaland, his £15.1m price tag having become less appealing to Fantasy managers recently.
A Change of Fortune
Salah’s emergence isn’t just about his recent performance. He’s seen a surge in ownership since Gameweek 10, becoming the most selected player in the game. Now residing in 56.8% of squads, he’s a clear favorite. In contrast, Haaland has experienced a notable decline in popularity, now found in just 51.8% of teams.
Projected Lineup
| Player | Captained by | Pts |
|---|---|---|
| Salah | 3,021,686 | – |
| Haaland | 2,901,780 | – |
| Palmer | 883,300 | – |
| Saka | 571,121 | – |
| Cunha | 325,617 | – |
All eyes are on Salah ahead of Liverpool’s highly anticipated clash with Manchester City this Sunday.

**Host:** And Haaland?
**Analyst:** Haaland’s price tag of £15.1m is starting to make managers wary. While he’s still a phenomenal player, that hefty price point means managers are looking for better value elsewhere, and Salah seems to be providing just that.
**Host:** That’s interesting. So, what does this mean for Fantasy managers looking ahead?
**Analyst:** It’s a great time to be a Salah owner!
He’s the most selected player in the game right now, found in 56.8% of squads, and his ownership has been steadily increasing since Gameweek 10.
Keep in mind this shift could also signal a broader trend away from relying solely on big-name players and toward finding value picks who consistently deliver points.
**Host:** Some great insights there [Analyst Name], thank you so much for joining us today!
**Analyst:** My pleasure!
