The official Fantasy Premier League transfer window is open and Liverpool’s Mohamed Salah is on top of the FPL’s price list unveiled for the new 2019-20 season.
Salah began last season’s campaign valued as the most expensive player in the game following an explosive debut season for Liverpool in which he scored 32 goals and won the Golden Boot. He was not quite as prolific last term but still won a share of the Golden Boot, with teammate Sadio Mane and Arsenal’s Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, with a tally of 22.
Mane is the big climber this time around, rising to £11.5m from his starting price of £9.5m last season after a brilliant campaign as his club finished second in the Premier League. Despite playing such advanced roles under Jurgen Klopp, both remain categorised as midfielders in the new campaign.
Manchester City’s Raheem Sterling and Sergio Aguero are priced at £12m, making them the joint-second most expensive players in the FPL. Harry Kane and Aubameyang are both priced at £11m, and are the only two players from outside City and Liverpool valued over £10m.
Trent Alexander-Arnold and Andrew Robertson will cost £7m as the most expensive two defenders following hugely productive seasons on Liverpool’s flanks racking up plenty of assists, while their goalkeeper Alisson Becker is pegged alongside City’s Ederson as the most expensive keeper at £6m.
