2001/02 Fantasy Football

Rewind to the 2001/02 Premier League. Arsenal took the title on 87 points, with Liverpool in pursuit. Your job: build a £100m fantasy squad from that season's 345 real players across 20 clubs, then play all 38 gameweeks and see how many points your 2001/02 XI can rack up. Robert Pirès is the season's most expensive pick at £11.5m, but bargains like Ricardo Gardner (£5.5m) are where mini-leagues are won.
