Your support helps us to tell the story

From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.

At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.

The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.

Your support makes all the difference.

The new Premier League season is upon us, meaning there are thousands of excited fans furiously throwing together their Fantasy Football teams, hoping this year will be the year they finally win bragging rights over their mates.

Whether you are on your 19th draft or you are starting afresh and just beginning to sift through the mountain of players, trying to shoehorn players in to keep to the £100m limit, there is not long to go until Friday’s 6.45pm deadline.

After bundling together your squad of 15, rejigging them and rejigging them some more, you then get to the main reason you do Fantasy Football – for a witty, yet clever, team name.

Some people thrive at this, while others faulter and resort to scrolling through Google to find discarded team names of the past.

So here are some of the best The Independent have spotted in our Fantasy Football scouting so far:

Le Saux Solid Crew

No Weimann, No Cry

Gylfi Pleasures

Chicken Tikka Mo Salah

Tea and Busquets
