Can Footballers Have an FPL Team?
Yes, Premier League footballers are allowed to have a Fantasy Premier League team. There are no rules within FPL or regulations from the FA that prohibit it.
However, there may be rules within certain Premier League clubs that forbid it. This is because transfers they make within their FPL team may leak lineup information.

As a result, there are likely various other Premier League players playing FPL but doing so under an alias.
