Those Fantasy Football players who captained the freescoring Liverpool forward this weekend were rewarded handsomely.
Salah took his season's tally to 36 when he fired four past a hapless Orestis Karnezis in the Reds' 5-0 victory over Watford at Anfield on Saturday.
Salah has now eclipsed Fernando Torres' debut season on Merseyside, which makes the Egypt international the most prolific newcomer in Liverpool's history.
The 25-year-old, who signed from Roma in the summer for £38 million, now looks like a shoe-in for the Golden Boot.
