The new Premier League season is upon us, meaning there are thousands of excited fans furiously throwing together their Fantasy Football teams, hoping this year will be the year they finally win bragging rights over their mates.
Whether you are on your 19th draft or you are starting afresh and just beginning to sift through the mountain of players, trying to shoehorn players in to keep to the £100m limit, there is not long to go until Friday’s 6.45pm deadline.
After bundling together your squad of 15, rejigging them and rejigging them some more, you then get to the main reason you do Fantasy Football – for a witty, yet clever, team name.
