Top FPL Picks to Target at Every Premier League Club Ahead of 2026–27

The World Cup provided a much-needed breather at the conclusion of a hectic Fantasy Premier League (FPL) season, but managers must now begin gearing up for the 2026–27 campaign.

FPL has officially launched ahead of the new season, and players can now build their squads in preparation for Gameweek 1, which gets underway on Friday, Aug. 21.

Before putting together a roster, however, managers must first settle on a clever, pun-driven team name—a time-honored tradition since the game first began.

Countless classic team names have been doing the rounds for years, but we here at Sports Illustrated have put together a brand-new list of options for every current Premier League club.

We offer our apologies in advance for some of the cringe-worthy wordplay you're about to encounter.
