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.

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.
