Fantasy Premier League: Best and funniest fantasy football team names for 2025-26 season
Redownload the app, it is well and truly back for a new season.
This term's version of the game has been set live by the Premier League, who had begun to tease players' prices earlier in the week.
Mohamed Salah, of course, is the most expensive player at an eye-watering £14.5million, while Erling Haaland comes in at £14m.
It is a London trident that tops the defenders price list, with Gabriel and William Saliba joining Marc Cucurella as the most valuable at £6m a pop.
Cole Palmer is priced at £10.5m, while Bukayo Saka sits at £10m.
However, the most important part of anyone's FPL team is the team name. Who will reign supreme with the best and most imaginative, and who will take the crown for the funniest?

Premier League Summer Series Reinforces League's Growth In The U.S.
Manchester United captain Bruno Fernandes (8) scored twice in a 2-1 win against West Ham at MetLife ... More Stadium in East Rutherford, N.J. Wes Brown admits he was shocked one of the first times he came to the United States on a preseason tour with Manchester United in the early 2000s. 'What I remember is that there was a massive football fanbase,' said Brown, a five-time Premier League winner during his United career from 1996-2011. 'Coming from England and Manchester, you don't think that and think there might be a few fans, but every time we played here or I've been back here watching the club, it's been absolutely fantastic. 'We didn't realize how big (football) was here, and it's gotten bigger and bigger each year. … We were walking around (NYC) today and even people were recognizing me.' Not only has the investment and expansion of domestic leagues like MLS, USL and NWSL helped drive soccer's growth in the U.S., European leagues and clubs like the Premier League and Manchester United making the highly coveted market a top priority as part of their respective internationalization strategies has added an endless supply of fuel to the now-raging football fire. The Premier League has been buoyed in the U.S. thanks to a long-term media rights deal with NBC, who first started broadcasting England's top domestic league with the 2013/14 campaign. As viewing habits have changed from solely linear TV to streaming and social media, NBC has doubled down on its coverage and accessibility of the league, whether through OTT platform Peacock or the continuation of its Premier League Mornings Live Fan Fest series. Across all NBCUniversal platforms in English and Spanish, fans consumed 17.14 billion minutes of Premier League coverage in 2024/25, the second-most ever for a Premier League season in the U.S. For the full season, NBC Sports averaged a Total Audience Delivery (TAD) of 510,000 viewers per Premier League TV match window, marking a record fourth consecutive season with average English-language viewership topping 500,000. To cap off the 'Summer of Soccer' in the U.S., the Premier League is playing the second edition of its Summer Series across the country. Featuring AFC Bournemouth, Everton, Manchester United and West Ham, the four clubs will play a series of double headers in New York/New Jersey, Chicago and Atlanta from July 26 to August 3. The inaugural Premier League Summer Series in July 2023 welcomed more than 265,000 fans to venues. The attendance for Summer Series match between Manchester-United West Ham at MetLife Stadium was ... More more than the Club World Cup Final between Chelsea and PSG two weeks earlier. Despite this summer's participating clubs finishing no better than ninth (Bournemouth) in last year's Premier League standings, Manchester United-West Ham drew an attendance of 82,566 on July 26 at MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, N.J., eclipsing the 81,118 for the 2025 FIFA Club World Cup Final between Chelsea and PSG at the same venue two weeks prior. While NBC executives 'continue to push for' a Premier League match on U.S. soil, the country has been the focal point for international football as hosts of the 2024 Copa América, 2025 FIFA Club World Cup, 2025 Concacaf Gold Cup, 2026 FIFA World Cup (with Canada and Mexico), 2028 Olympics and 2031 FIFA Women's World Cup (with Mexico). As the most-watched soccer league in the country, the Premier League looks to reap the benefits of its U.S. investment. 'The buzz gets everyone looking and seeing what's happening here,' Brown said at a Premier League Summer Series kickoff event at Classic Football Shirts NYC. 'Loads of Americans play football but when it's in the States and people are going to the games, it's an enjoyable day first of all, then you start to take an interest in the game. 'With the World Cup coming, it makes it even better as well.'

Marcus Rashford Exit Allows Man Utd to Pursue Newcastle Target Amid PSG Doubt
During his loan at Juventus, Randal Kolo Muani made a strong impact, contributing to 10 goals in 19 appearances across all competitions. However, with no agreement yet between Juventus and PSG, his future remains uncertain — leaving the door open for Premier League clubs to show interest. PSG hope his solid run in Turin will help raise his market value ahead of the summer transfer window. The club aims to recover at least half of the €95 million they spent to sign him from Eintracht Frankfurt in 2023. Playing time was limited under Luis Enrique at PSG, where Kolo Muani started just twice all season. His next step could depend on how he fits into Juventus' plans under new head coach Igor Tudor, who replaced Thiago Motta and gradually gave him more opportunities. He earned regular minutes toward the end of the 2024-25 campaign, so now the question is — where will he be next season? Could PSG outcast be headed to Old Trafford?ESPN reported on Friday that Marcus Rashford's departure has opened up some financial flexibility for Manchester United, and Kolo Muani is reportedly on the club's shortlist. Kolo Muani has made it clear he does not want to stay at PSG and has been offered to several teams, including Newcastle and Manchester United, both of which are in need of a striker. PSG is willing to accept a loan deal that includes a mandatory purchase option set at €50 million. Meanwhile, Juventus, where Kolo Muani spent the second half of last season on loan, faces financial challenges that make signing him permanently difficult.

Liverpool star admits Florian Wirtz will face unique challenge this season
Curtis Jones has said it's important for Florian Wirtz to immediately settle at Liverpool and not feel weighed down by his record-breaking price tag. Liverpool paid an initial $135 million (£100M) for the German last month, with a further $22M (£16M) in potential add-ons to be triggered. Should those additional fees be met, Wirtz will become the most expensive signing in Premier League history. But that doesn't appear to have affected the German international, who is used to operating on the biggest stages. The former Bundesliga champion has settled quickly into life at Anfield and has made an instant contribution to the team in pre-season. He was perhaps the standout player for Liverpool in Saturday's 4-2 loss to AC Milan. READ MORE: Jeremie Frimpong says 3 things have helped him settle at Liverpool since transfer READ MORE: Harvey Elliott praises 'fearless' Rio Ngumoha after impressive Liverpool display vs AC Milan Speaking after that game, Jones said that a good start is important for Wirtz ahead of his first campaign in the Premier League. 'Yeah, obviously he's a new lad. There's a label on him that we've paid this price for him,' the midfielder told the Anfield Wrap. 'But it's about just bringing him in and letting him feel calm, at home, and just let him go and play his game and not think, 'I've been bought for this price.' 'Of course, he will know that he needs to help the team with goals and assists, but first of all, just come into the team and be yourself. We've seen that all week with him. 'As everybody already sees, you know, he can score goals, he can assist. He's an exciting player as well. 'But on top of all that as well, he's an unbelievable lad. He's got a smile on his face, and he just enjoys the game.' Wirtz is one of seven new arrivals this summer - and more are expected before the window closes in September. Jones feels it's a welcoming group to join. 'He [Wirtz] has already found his feet, he's comfortable here, and the same with all the other lads who have signed, they've come in and are just themselves. 'I bang on about this thing all the time, that it's an unbelievable team, but it's more like a family as well. If you're a young lad getting signed, you come in and have got a bunch of lads that are just all about having a laugh as well at the same time, so you just feel at home. 'Then obviously it helps the lads as well, so the lads who are coming into the team are going to be a huge help and hopefully we can go and win even more.' Jones, like most in the Liverpool team, played 45 minutes in Hong Kong and was asked how his fitness levels are at this stage of the summer. 'I felt good, actually. Obviously, it was a mixed team as well. The young lads were in there, which obviously helps [them] for the experience of that. 'Unfortunately, we obviously lost the game, which was a shame. We've got to start at a place and that's where it is at the minute.'
