It wouldn’t be a fantasy football league without a host of pun-tastic names, would it? Here are some of the best.

Are you excited for the return of the Premier League? Its been a fairly short break due to this year’s winter World Cup – but we’re still eager for its return.

However, no new season would be complete without a friends and family fantasy football league, would it?

Piecing together your title winning team can be tough. After all, the season is a marathon, not a sprint – though a good start is essential.

The English Premier League will get underway on August 5, as Arsenal once again open the season – like they did last year – with a Friday night game, where they will travel to Crystal Palace.

While having a dynamic, point scoring, all conquering team is what it’s all about, the lack of a weird and wonderful team name is often the most important part of piecing together your side.

But if you’re struggling for inspiration, fear not as we have cobbled together some of the best fantasy football team names for the up coming season.

How do I play Fantasy Premier League?

That’s the easy part. Firstly, you’ll need to log in and register via the Fantasy Premier League website, from there you can pick and manage your own dream team throughout the season, and you’ll receive points based on your players' real-life performances in the Premier League.

What is my budget and how do I pick my FPL squad?

You can pick two goalkeepers, five defenders, five midfielders and three forwards then, each match week, you must pick a starting XI in any formation, from your squad of 15.
