There is no in between for Raheem Sterling. GW36 in 2021/22 season turned out to a unforgettable one(in the right way) for 2.4% owned FPL managers at that time. 2 goals(16 points) vs Newcastle and 1 goal, 1 assist(12 points) vs Wolves helped Sterling to reach his 50th Double Digit Haul.

Salah scored once against Norwich and then got an assist and a brace in the second game totaling 28 points(10 points vs Norwich and 18 points vs Leeds)

Trent Alexander Arnold 24 points vs Leicester GW19, 2019/20 Season (SGW)

Trent Alexander Arnold 24 points vs Leicester GW19, 2019/20 Season (SGW) ~ most fpl points in a gameweek

One of Trent Alexander Arnold’s finest performances in a Liverpool jersey to date came against Leicester in which he was involved in all four goals and kept a CS too. Trent scored a goal and registered three more assists in a 4-0 win over the foxes. Trent assisted Firmino twice and then earned an assist for getting a penalty after his corner was handled by Soyancu, Milner scored the penalty after replacing Salah moments before the corner. Trent then scored the fourth and final goal of the game to seal the victory and a huge haul.

Fun Fact: A lot of FPL managers sold Trent in the last three gameweeks leading to GW19 and were punished big time. TAA ended the season with 210 FPL points and Liverpool won the league.

Bolasie, 24 points vs Sunderland, 2014/15 Season (sgw)

Bolasie 24 points vs Sunderland, 2014/15 Season (SGW) ~ most fpl points in a gameweek

Bolasie scored a 11-minute hatrick and assisted a goal during the 2014/15 season in a 4-1 win over Sunderland. He was taken off in the 71 st minute bagging a CS point as well but Sunderland scored in the 90th-minute meaning had he stayed on the pitch for the full 90 minutes he would have lost a point, but who knows the extra 19 minutes could have got him another return or two!

The assist was for a Glen Murray goal and was just an FPL assist and not a PL assist as it was a deflected cross.

Conor Wickham scored the goal for Sunderland that day assisted by Patrick Van Aanholt who both went on to play for Palace later. Sunderland also had John O’Shea, Defoe, Lee Catermole in the starting 11. Palace had Zaha, Glen Murray, Joel Ward, Puncheon, Jediak, Speroni, and McArthur in their starting 11.

Few other 24 pointers in FPL

  • Callum Wilson vs Brighton, Leeds- 3 goals, 1 assist in DGW36 of 2022/23 season
  • Jack Grealish vs Liverpool- 2 goals, 3 assists in GW4 of 2020/21 season

The highest-scoring goalkeeper in a single gameweek based on our research should be Gomes who scored 21 points.

Gomes 21 points vs WBA, WHU GW34, 2015/16 Season (DGW)

Gomes 21 points vs WBA, WHU GW34, 2015/16 Season (DGW) ~ most fpl points in a gameweek

Gomes was an FPL legend and saved two penalties in one game against West Brom in GW34 of the 2015/16 season, both of them were taken by Sadio Berahino, Gomes rushed out of the box, and fouled Berahino to give away the first pen but eventually saved it. He also played in the second game which was a 3-1 loss to West Ham. Summing up both the games in the double gameweek, Gomes registered 21 points.

He has previously also saved two penalties in a game while playing for Spurs. It was a 3-1 loss to Sunderland with Sunderland’s Striker Bent who played for Spurs previously scored one penalty but missed two to Gomes. A certain Luka Modric played for Spurs in that game.

Jussi Jaaskelainen(for Bolton Wanderers against Blackburn Rovers) and Brad Friedel(For Blackburn rovers against Sheffield United) both also have previously saved two penalties and kept a CS but we cannot verify how many FPL points they registered in the game. Both the game were just a month from each other in the 2006/07 season. Stekelenburg(For Everton) and Van Der Sar(For Fulham) have also saved two penalties in a game but didn’t keep a clean sheet.
