Fantasy Premier League is back where players are building their squad (which, let's be honest, has probably already been changed at least five times) to take on friends, family and the rest of the world.

The new season is already nearly upon us with the Premier League season kicking off at Anfield on 15 August as Liverpool take on Bournemouth, meaning there's precious little time to make those final tweaks.

But one thing that's probably the toughest part of the game is coming up with a good, funny, witty team name.

You've got to have a good one that makes people laugh, gets people messaging you saying "that's good" and definitely not one that has people scratching their heads or laughing at you (not speaking from personal experience there or anything...).

And indy100 has picked out some of its favourites.
