Best Fantasy Football team names for every club supporter

The 2025/26 Fantasy Premier League (FPL) season is underway, so we have come up with a list of the best fantasy football team names for every club supporter in the top flight.

Burnley, Leeds United and Sunderland are new to the division after earning promotion from the Championship in the 2024/25 campaign, while Ipswich Town, Leicester City and Southampton were relegated.

Best Fantasy Football team names – Our picks

Arsenal – Rice Rice Baby

Kicking us off is the runners-up from the past three seasons Arsenal, and we have gone for “Rice Rice Baby”, a play-on of the famous Vanilla Ice song “Ice Ice Baby”, involving Declan Rice. Yes, it is very ‘2023' but it is here to stay! Traditionally, defensive midfielders do not score highly in FPL, although Rice moving into advanced positions will see him contribute goals and assists, while new points for defensive contributions have also been added into the game for this season.

Aston Villa – McGinn and Tonic

John McGinn is a fan favourite at Villa Park, and we have gone for “McGinn and Tonic” because, who does not love a gin and tonic? McGinn could be a dark horse for FPL points next season if he is given the freedom to burst forward.

Bournemouth – Passion of the Christie

Ryan Christie is a fans' favourite at Bournemouth, and his surname is very close to “Christ”. Our name here is homage to the film “Passion of the Christ”, a story about Jesus Christ.

Brentford – 50 Schades of Grey

Kevin Schade is one of Brentford's best players, and after the departure of Bryan Mbeumo to Manchester United, the Bees will be relying on him more for attacking output. His surname sounds similar to “shade”, hence we have linked it to popular erotic novel “50 Shades of Grey”.

Brighton & Hove Albion – Dunk in Donuts

A homage to popular confectionary brand Dunkin Donuts. So, fusing Brighton fan favourite Lewis Dunk's name with it makes for a clever FPL name for Seagulls supporters. Dunk could be a decent price in the new FPL season, for a Brighton team that will aim to push into Europe.

Burnley – Parker Life

Burnley manager Scott Parker will be hoping to keep his team up this season, and this name is a homage to popular song “Parklife” by Blur.

Chelsea – Back of the Neto

Pedro Neto remains a key attacker for Chelsea despite all of the players they have signed in the summer transfer window. His surname is close to “net”, a no-brainer for a football pun!

Crystal Palace – Hakuna Mateta

Jean-Philippe Mateta became an FPL favourite towards the latter stages of last season after he went on an impressive goal streak for Palace. He could be an affordable price in the new game, and a play-on of his name to popular Lion King song “Hakuna Matata” is a match made in heaven.

Everton – Me, Myself Ndiaye

Iliman Ndiaye is one of Everton's best players, and could prove to be a good pick for FPL this season. With his surname sounding like “and I”, this is among our favourite team names!

Fulham – Iwobi Wan Kenobi

One for Fulham fans who also love Star Wars. Alex Iwobi's name has a lovely play-on with Star Wars character Obi-Wan Kenobi, and could prove to be a valuable FPL asset should the Cottagers perform well.

Leeds United – Perri Perri chicken

New signing Lucas Perri is expected to be Leeds' number one goalkeeper this season. We had to link his surname to a popular food!

Liverpool – Tikka Mo Salah

Here is one for curry lovers, as Liverpool star Mo Salah's name sounds a lot like “masala”. He has always been a popular premium FPL asset, and broke the record for most points scored by an asset in a season last campaign.

Manchester City – Haa Haa Land

A play-on of popular Ryan Gosling film “La La Land”, City fans may want an FPL name to commemorate goalscoring machine Erling Haaland. He is a popular FPL option once more from the reigning champions.

Manchester United – Kinder Mbeumo

Kinder Bueno is a popular chocolate among many, and this name merges that with new United signing Mbeumo. Enjoy Red Devils!

Newcastle United – Howe Let the Dogs Out?

Baha Men's song “Who Let the Dogs Out” was a smash hit, and a nice play-on with Eddie Howe's name could make for a great FPL name for Newcastle fans.

Nottingham Forest – Me, Myself Ndoye

Ok, this is very similar to Everton's name, but we had to go for it! Dan Ndoye could prove a popular FPL pick in his debut season for Nottingham Forest.

Sunderland – Boom Xhaka Laka

Granit Xhaka swapping Bayer Leverkusen for Sunderland was not on our bingo card at the start of the summer transfer window. Nonetheless, the former Arsenal midfielder could prove to be a popular FPL pick given his relatively cheap price.

Tottenham – Vicario Leviosa

Vicario's name combined with a Harry Potter spell could be a popular pick for Tottenham fans. The Spurs goalkeeper is a cheaper alternative to the likes of David Raya and Alisson.

West Ham United – Bowen Arrows

Jarrod Bowen makes for a playful FPL name, and the West Ham winger has always been a popular pick in the game.

Wolverhampton Wanderers – Henry the Hoever

Henry the Hoover is a popular vacuum cleaner in the UK, and Wolves' full-back Ki-Jana Hoever has a very similar surname.
