Erling Haaland makes Fantasy Premier League history ahead of 2024/25 season

Manchester City’s Erling Haaland has broken records in the Fantasy Premier League world already ahead of the 2024/25 season, it has been announced.

Haaland has surpassed a number of all-time Premier League greats priced at £14.0M on the platform in recent seasons, including himself off the back of his record-breaking debut season in the English top-flight.

Previous players to have been priced at the astronomical valuation of £14.0M include Thierry Henry in both the 2005/06 and 2006/07 seasons, Cristiano Ronaldo in 2008/09, and Robin Van Persie in 2013/14.

However, the big price set out on Erling Haaland last season did not put off players of Fantasy Premier League, with his potential for staggering points totals meaning he was still the most-popular player in Fantasy for the vast majority of the campaign.

Upon completion of the 2023/24 season, Haaland held an ownership across Fantasy Premier League in excess of 73 per cent, over 21 per cent more than any other player in the game, with a total of 217 points across the season.

Now, as confirmed by Fantasy Premier League on Thursday, Erling Haaland has made history on the platform by becoming the most-expensive player of all-time ahead of the start of the 2024/25 campaign.

The Norwegian international and Manchester City’s superstar striker has been priced at a whopping £15.0M for those wishing to include the 23-year-old in their team for the new season.
