Mo Salah is the most expensive player in the Premier league

Since FPL has finally returned, managers can begin experimenting with their starting lineups and figuring out how to make the most of their starting money for the forthcoming season.

Salah is once again in the lead after winning the Golden Boot for the third time in 2021–22. Prices for 219 Premier League players from the 20 teams in the division have been made public.

Salah has moved up to £13m for the latest edition of FPL, a full million ahead of the next most expensive midfielder on the game – City playmaker Kevin de Bruyne (£12m).

Son Heung-min of Tottenham, who shared the Golden Boot with Salah last season, is also listed at £12 million, followed by Raheem Sterling of City and Bruno Fernandes of Manchester United at $10 million.

Jarrod Bowen, a winger for West Ham, reaches the elite group at £8.5 million, while seven players are ranked just below him at £8 million.

Bukayo Saka of Arsenal, Mason Mount of Chelsea, James Maddison of Leicester, Luiz Diaz of Liverpool, Dejan Kulusevski of Tottenham, and Riyad Mahrez and Phil Foden of Man City are also included in that group.

City’s £51 million ($61m) summer signing Erling Haaland is the joint most expensive FPL forward, with much expected of a man who scored 83 goals in 87 games for Borussia Dortmund over the past two seasons.

He and Tottenham captain Harry Kane will cost managers £11.5m, with Manchester United’s No.7 Cristiano Ronaldo next up at £10.5m.

Leicester frontman Jamie Vardy will be a premium option once again in 2022-23 at £9.5m, with Liverpool’s Diogo Jota landing at £9.0 – the same price as his new team-mate Darwin Nunez, who Reds supporters will hope can be Jurgen Klopp’s answer to Haaland.

Five forwards have been priced at £8.0m, including Chelsea’s Kai Havertz following his bump up from midfield and his Stamford Bridge associate Timo Werner, while Arsenal new boy Gabriel Jesus, Everton’s Dominic Calvert-Lewin and Liverpool’s Roberto Firmino fall in the same bracket.
