The Scout shows managers how to build a squad including Erling Haaland (£15.2m) AND Mohamed Salah (£12.6m), after both produced a record-breaking 41 points over the first three Gameweeks of 2024/25 Fantasy Premier League. The premium-priced pair eclipsed the previous high of 40 points set by Michail Antonio (£5.5m) between Gameweeks 1-3 at the start of the 2021/22 season.
Most points after three Gameweeks
Player | Season | Pts
Haaland | 2024/25 | 41
Salah | 2024/25 | 41
Antonio | 2021/22 | 40
Rooney | 2011/12 | 38
Manchester City’s Haaland has scored seven goals and collected eight bonus points, delivering back-to-back hat-tricks and 17-point hauls against Ipswich Town and West Ham United. He is the most-bought player in 2024/25 Fantasy, earning 1.3million transfers in already, while he is also the most-popular asset in the game, with an ownership now approaching 65 per cent.
When assessed against his previous two Fantasy campaigns, it's clear that Haaland's incredible start has mainly been down to a huge upturn in his finishing - he has converted an astounding 50 PER CENT of his 14 shots. For example, his 12 shots in the box are four fewer than at this point in 2023/24, while his seven big chances equal his start to the 2022/23 season.
Haaland's first three Gameweeks of each season
Season | Shots in box | Big chances | Goal conversion
22/23 | 10 | 7 | 27.3%
23/24 | 16 | 5 | 18.8%
24/25 | 12 | 7 | 50%
Meanwhile, Salah’s three goals and three assists attest to his fine all-round showings under new Liverpool head coach Arne Slot. The underlying numbers also back this up – the Egyptian’s five big chances are second only to the seven of Haaland, while his four big chances created are joint-top along with Cole Palmer (£10.6m) and Bryan Mbeumo (£7.1m).
Salah also fares well when compared with previous campaigns – his total of six goal involvements is at least two more than any of his seven seasons under Jurgen Klopp. Bringing in both Haaland and Salah will set you back a hefty £27.8m, though, which only serves to highlight the need to seek out value across the rest of the positions in your squad.
