Premier League 2025-26: Top 30 standout players from the previous season's Fantasy Premier League competition
Top Performers in the 2024-25 Fantasy Premier League (FPL) Season
The 2025-26 FPL season is upon us, and managers are eager to assemble their teams with the best players from the previous season. Here's a look at some of the highest-scoring players from the 2024-25 campaign.
In the midfield, Mohamed Salah (Liverpool) was the standout performer, scoring a record-breaking 344 points with 28 goals and 19 assists. His consistency and enormous points haul make him a must-have premium midfielder for the upcoming season, often serving as captain due to frequent double-digit returns.
Other mid-priced players to consider include Aston Villa’s Morgan Rogers, who scored 161 points with 8 goals and 11 assists, and Chelsea forward Joao Pedro, who quickly became the most-owned forward early in the 2025/26 season due to his strong finish and favorable fixtures.
Affordable defenders who stood out include Aaron Wan-Bissaka (£4.5m) and Crystal Palace wing-back Daniel Munoz (£5.5m), who offered attacking and defensive contributions, respectively.
In the attack, players like Yoane Wissa (Brentford), who scored 185 points, and Alexander Isak (Newcastle United), who scored 211 points, are expected to be in demand. Liverpool’s Luis Diaz scored 183 points, making him another high-scoring forward to watch.
It may be advantageous to select some of these high-scoring players before the start of the season, as they are likely to be transferred in before the first FPL deadline of the season.
Managers typically allocate a significant portion of their budget (~£14-15m) to their leading midfielder, moderate funds (~£6.5-7.5m) to solid forwards and midfielders with high potential, and seek value defenders in the £4.5-5.5m range to maintain overall squad balance.
The list of the top 30 Fantasy Premier League players from the previous season is provided, and it includes players like Chris Wood (Nottingham Forest), who scored 200 points, and Jordan Pickford (Everton), who scored 156 points.
