Looking for FPL name inspiration? These are the best and funniest from over the years...
It’s that time again. Fantasy Premier League is upon us.
Redownload the app, it is well and truly back for a new season.
This term’s version of the game has been set live by the Premier League, who had begun to tease players’ prices earlier in the week.
Mohamed Salah, of course, is the most expensive player at an eye-watering £14.5million, while Erling Haaland comes in at £14m.
It is a London trident that tops the defenders price list, with Gabriel and William Saliba joining Marc Cucurella as the most valuable at £6m a pop.
Cole Palmer is priced at £10.5m, while Bukayo Saka sits at £10m.
However, the most important part of anyone’s FPL team is the team name. Who will reign supreme with the best and most imaginative, and who will take the crown for the funniest?
If you’re lacking inspiration, these might just help you out...
