Fantasy Premier League is back, with FPL managers across the land keeping a close eye on the transfer market, preseason and those fated price drops ahead of what promises to be another nail-biting season.
There are big changes to the game this year – but some things will never change. Principally, team names, which seem to get more creative each year.
Sorry, lads. ‘John's XI’ or ‘MY FPL BALLERS’ won't suffice.
Once you've made the crucial decision about whether Haaland is really worth spending all that money, after you've picked that low-cost goalkeeper who you really do think will get a game or two, and once you've trimmed down on a few star players or even forgone an entire midfield to accommodate your star choices… you're going to need a name, aren't you?
You can change it here. We’ve got a fantastic selection of team names for you, covering every category you can imagine: whether you want a name that could pass as a real football club, something that pays tribute to a current star in your lineup, or a nod to a legendary player.
Some footballers have become forever linked with unforgettable FPL team names, after all (Jeff Schlupp, anyone?). Others simply lend themselves perfectly to a good pun. No matter what you're searching for in a team name, our ultimate list will help you pick the best one this season.
For everything Fantasy Premier League throughout the 2024/25 season, FourFourTwo is your top resource. We’re here to deliver tips, tricks, and insights that will give you the edge in your work league and beyond. From strategic advice on when to play your Triple Captain or Bench Boost to regular updates on key players, we've got you covered. Plus, we’ll be running our own league for you to join and test your skills against others.

Because sometimes, you can't beat the oldies. Not a dig at your club veteran, honest.
Here are some we suggest to you every year: the ones that your mates will scroll past in the league and tell you, “Yeah, that's a good'un.” They're not original.
You've heard them before. They're still solid.

The ruder ones
There's always one. The FPL app has been clamping down on offensive teamnames in recent years so just be aware that these probably won't get through approval. Same goes for anything that references a murderer or a tragedy. Understandable, really.

- Get Your Koch Out
- Kante Fit My Willian
- Leavemyarselona
- Mount Mee Koch
- The VARginas

Those that are too long
The FPL has a team name character limit of 20.
In the bulk of this article, we've abbreviated, cut spaces and helped you to circumvent the rules but here are ones that just look rubbish unless they're written out properly.
Take them for rival games, five-a-sides or the back of your mind on the possibility that the character limit is relaxed in future versions of the game.
