Should FPL Managers Continue Keeping Mo Salah in their team?

Mohamed Salah is one of the most important names in the Fantasy Premier League (FPL) over the last eight years due to his incredibly consistent performances. While he has been one of the backbones for Liverpool over the past few years, he is also the most important player for FPL managers, being a favourite choice for the captaincy role for any gameweek. While he is the most expensive FPL player this season, starting at £14.5m, more than 53 per cent of FPL managers have selected him at present, clearly reflecting his massive popularity among them.

Mohamed Salah Seasonal FPL Points History (Last 8 Seasons)

For most of the other top players, 150+ or 175+ FPL points are good enough for a season. However, for Mo Salah, even close to 200 FPL points isn’t good enough. In the last eight FPL seasons, he has always recorded 200+ points, while his lowest FPL points during this period were 211 during the 2023/24 season. In seven out of the last eight seasons, the Egyptian always recorded 230+ FPL points.

Although Mo Salah is an established forward, he has been categorised as a midfielder in the FPL. Last season, he set a new FPL record by managing 344 FPL points, as he broke his own record of 303 in the 2017/18 edition. With 29 goals and 18 assists, Salah recorded 47 direct goal contributions last season to equal the record of the most direct goal involvements in a Premier League season (Andrew Cole in 1993/94; Alan Shearer in 1994/95). In fact, he became the first to record 45 direct goal involvements in a 38-game Premier League season. Due to outstanding performances, Salah also set a new record for FPL bonus points in the last season by securing 55 FPL bonus points. It gives a clear picture of why FPL managers are crazy for him, even with a huge valuation, and why he is a regular for most FPL teams.

Mohamed Salah FPL Form in the 2025/26 Season

Now, let's check out Mohamed Salah FPL form. While the defending champions Liverpool have started the new Premier League season with four out of four wins, Mo Salah has mostly played important clinical roles, as the Reds have secured all these victories in the late moments. At the end of the fourth gameweek of the 2025/26 season, Salah recorded 25 FPL points with two goals, one assist, and two FPL bonus points.

Why You Should Transfer out Mo Salah Now

Mohamed Salah started with the FPL valuation of £14.5m, which is huge for the FPL managers. Despite consistency, the ordinary performances from the most expensive player aren’t enough. This valuation can easily bring two in-form players into an FPL team, who can combinedly generate far better FPL points.

Like, I can easily bring in the top two midfielders with the most FPL points this season by transferring out Mo Salah (practically, there will be more balance if I need to add both highest-scoring midfielders, as I need to remove another midfielder to bring in these two midfielders). AFC Bournemouth’s Antoine Semenyo (36 FPL points) and Chelsea’s Enzo Fernández (29 FPL points) have the latest FPL valuations of £7.5m and £6.6m, respectively, and they have already combinedly scored 65 FPL points, more than 2x of Mohamed Salah FPL points this season.

Even the second most expensive FPL player, Manchester City forward Erling Haaland (£14.1m), is dominating FPL at the moment with 37 FPL points this season, standing top of the total FPL points table this season.

Why You Should Still Put Faith in Mo Salah

Mohamed Salah is in good enough touch in the very early period of the season. In fact, the Egyptian is playing the crucial, decisive role for the Reds in almost every match. It is actually a very good sign for the Mo Salah owners. He is one of the rarest FPL players who can deliver from the beginning to the end of a season, and he has started the season effectively.

I checked Sportsdunia's FPL points predictor, and it is also showing that Mo Salah is one of the favourites at present, especially for the upcoming Gameweek 5, when Liverpool will face Everton.
