Every Fantasy Premier League season starts with selecting a good FPL team name. At first glance, you might say that the name of your fantasy team does not matter…
However, some experience FPL veterans would say that it is not entirely true. Yes, your skills and positions in the overall ranking are way more important. But FPL is also about having fun and the season does not always go the way we plan.
And when you compete with your friends, colleagues, and mini-league rivals, they all will see your FPL team name when checking mini-league standings. Selecting a good, creative, or funny name for your fantasy football team can make you stand out from the crowd in all of your mini-leagues.

How to pick a good FPL team name?
- Be creative
- Your team name reflects your identity, so choose a team name that is related to you or the topic you like
- If you want to be known in the FPL community, use the same FPL team every season and built a brand around it
- Be careful and do not use an offensive team name because offensive team names can be reported by any player and FPL could take action against managers with inappropriate team names.
- FPL Team name character limit: 20 characters
Some ideas on how to make up your own creative Fantasy Football Team name
Choosing a Fantasy Football team name can be a fun and creative process. Here are some suggestions and ideas to help you generate your FPL team name:
- Player Puns: Incorporate clever wordplay using the names of popular football players. For example, “Ctrl + Dele” or “Cahill on the Roof.”
- Pop Culture References: Draw inspiration from movies, TV shows, or music. For instance, “The Hazardous Avengers” or “Game of Throw-ins.”
- Team-Specific Names: Tailor your team name to support a specific club. For example, “Anfield Warriors” or “Emirates United.”
- Fantasy Themes: Incorporate elements of fantasy or mythology. You could go with “The Goalkeepers of Valhalla” or “The Wandering Wizards.”
- Football Jargon: Utilize football-related terms to create a unique name. Consider “The Offside Trappers” or “Midfield Maestros.”

My team name
Each year, I select the same team name for FPL, Fantasy Champions League or World Cup/Euro Fantasy. And that is Mateho XI – I know that it is very simple, basic. But its a combination of my nickname and reference to the movie Ocean’s Eleven. My friends can easily identify my team in every fantasy football competition.
