When you get right down to it, football and Game of Thrones are basically the same thing. At their core is a violent struggle for territory between warriors clad in body armor.
Opposing factions attempt to gain victory over one another in a bid for ultimate supremacy. And both involve massive head injuries.
The intersection of fantasy football and straight-up fantasy is natural, and I attempt to capture this in our compilation of Game of Thrones fantasy football team names. Use these GOT names in your 2023 leagues, for some Arya-style yuks, or inspiration for your own Game of Thrones puns.
