Unfortunately, no-one sent our Elite XI: Team Reveal managers the memo. Between James Cooper’s ‘CooperSuperTroopers’ and Corey Baker’s ‘All That Ales You’, clearly not much creativity has gone into their team names.

Fortunately for us, their ability to play FPL far exceeds their attempts to spin a humorous team name. With a combined 18 x Top 1k finishes, 61 x Top 5k finishes, and 82 Top 10k finishes, to their names, the Elite XI: Team Reveal is the place to be for top-notch FPL advice, if not football-related puns.

Speaking of which, here are some of the team names which didn’t quite hit the mark - but at least they tried. Bless 'em!
