With the 2025/2026 season a distant memory, this is the perfect time to examine some of the stats around the best performing players to give us an insight around who to pick next time around. Below, I’ve examined the top 10 highest point scoring strikers.
1. Haaland (Man City) – 448 points
2. Pedro (Chelsea) – 299 points
3. Watkins (Villa) – 298 points
4. Thiago (Brentford) – 286 points
5. Bowen (West Ham) – 281 points
6. Gyökeres (Arsenal) – 265 points
7. Jesus (Forest) – 253 points
8. Salah (Liverpool) – 249 points
9. Ekitiké (Liverpool) – 233 points
10. Mateta (Palace) – 227 points
Strikers seemed to be a little bit of a disappointment last season. Aside from Haaland none of them scored over 300 points which is a little unusual for the position most likely to score goals. There appears to be an overall lack of quality goalscorers like we’ve seen in previous seasons with goals spread more evenly across teams. This could result in more premium midfielders being selected for the season ahead and a change in formation. For me, an obvious take away is that players with a proven track record in the Premier League are also a safer bet than new signings.
DTT, do you think Mane and Sterling need to be classified as strikers as Sky Sports game did last season? It would prevent teams from looking similar.
I’d personally say they are strikers and it would mix things up a lot so I’d be fully behind that move
Anyone know much about Mbeumo of Brentford? Midfielder with a lot of goals and assists if he can carry over that kind of form to the prem he could be a great enabler at only 1.5m?
I must admit I’ve never heard of him but I don’t tend to look at any players outside of the top 6-7 teams.
