FanTeam: Creating an All-Time XI with EPL Unlimited

Sponsored by FanTeam

We’re now in the final few days before the Premier League campaign kicks off, which means it’s not long until our initial EPL Unlimited squads are locked in.

As this season-long FanTeam competition comes without a team budget, managers can build a dream team of current stars. No debating whether to start with Erling Haaland, Mohamed Salah or both.

While tinkering with drafts, we started thinking out loud: if we had the luxury of creating an all-time Fantasy XI, who would make the cut?

Ten minutes later, this was created.

Building this squad was a nostalgic thrill. It’s not every day you get to put together the perfect team, unrestricted by player pricing.

Of course, trying to squeeze in Leighton Baines as a makeshift centre-back raised a few eyebrows, but who could resist the temptation to pack in more set-piece potential? Although our front line practically picked itself, the midfield was a battlefield of legends.

FanTeam all-time XI breakdown

• Forwards: The combination of Thierry Henry and Haaland is a Fantasy manager’s…. well, fantasy. With several historical scoring records shared between them, it’s hard to argue against their inclusion.
• Midfield: Meanwhile, gathering Salah, Frank Lampard, Cristiano Ronaldo and Son Heung-min together represents the best in creativity and goal-scoring prowess from midfield.
• Defence: It’s a 4-4-2 formation here. Baines, John Terry and current Liverpool duo Andrew Robertson and Trent Alexander-Arnold were known not only for their defensive solidity but also for their attacking contributions. Essential qualities for the Fantasy world.
• Goalkeeper: For both Chelsea and Arsenal, Petr Cech was a rock between the posts and racked up clean sheets year after year. He currently holds the record for Premier League shut-outs.

But enough about the past – let’s bring ourselves back to the present. FanTeam’s EPL Unlimited game gives you the chance to draft your ultimate XI for 2024/25, with the twist being that there will be no budget restrictions.

Managers also receive a weekly free transfer, alongside a captain’s armband and the option of Wildcard activation.

Whether you want to stack your team with current superstars or take a gamble on up-and-coming talent, the possibilities are endless.
