The composition Fanatics from Teamfight Tactics is definitely one of the most popular thanks to its accessibility and great early/mid game.

The composition 9 Fanatics (Cultist)
When in doubt, always rely on this image for the objects rather than those in the "Procedure" section.
The composition 9 Fanatics has the main advantage of being extremely powerful in the early and mid game, while being rather easy to play. With Gallium which is very dangerous throughout the game, and different carry possibilities ranging from Jhin à Kalista via Evelyn, it can easily be forced.
Note that if the version 9 Fanatics with a sacred clothe elected is very popular, there are other versions with only 3 or 6 Fanatics, which use for example sentinels to Twilight Beings in secondary.
The best Chosen (Chosen) champions
Fanatic Chosen Jhin: Since Jhin is your go-to primary carry, it's obvious he's also your go-to go-to to have.
Elise / Pyke / Evelynn / Kalista Chosen Fanatic: Any Chosen Fanatic will do the job in reality, the important thing being to be able to have all 9.
When to Play Comp and Victory Conditions
When to play the comp
This composition is possible to force, but try to meet at least one of these conditions before considering it.
- You have a fanatic start : You find your first three Fanatics very quickly.
- You have a chosen Fanatic : If at the start of the game you have an elected Fanatic in your shop: go for it.
Top 1 Conditions
You will usually need one of these conditions to win the game.
- Jhin, Evelynn or Kalista 3 stars : Your main 3-star carry is important and can guarantee you a victory, especially if it is Jhin.
- Level 9 with all your 2-star champions : This composition has no synergy other than Fanatic, going level 9 allows you to add it according to your needs in the game.
Preferred items

Jhin is your primary carry of choice, usually much stronger than Kalista ou Evelyn.
Infinity blade : With high physical damage, Jhin benefits greatly from the crits of the Infinity Edge.
Other options : Offensively, Jhin can also use a Doom Blade, along with a Ouragan de Runaan for example. As a defensive object, he can use a Gripper trap against many Assassins. The Thirst for blood is also an option, allowing him to recover a huge amount of HP on the fourth shot. |

Another fairly common carry option, especially if you have it in elected or that you can 3 stars is Kalista.
Guinsoo's Raging Blade : Kalista particularly synergizes with attack speed, making this item one of the most important. Ouragan de Runaan : With a Runaan, Kalista stabs her spears into two targets at once, nearly doubling her total DPS.
Other options : Third, a second copy of Guinsoo or Runaan can be interesting. Kalista can also use a defensive item, including the Mercury so that she can stack her Guinsoo without being bothered. |

It is also possible to play Evelynn in additional carry, especially if you are not contested on it and you can pass her 3 stars or if she is elected.
Pistolame hextech : Coupled with the aggro reset of her spell, the healing of the Gunblade is very interesting so that Evelynn stays alive for a very long time. blue buff : Evelynn has a rather low mana cost, this item allows her to cast regularly. Guardian angel : If the spell is not enough to lose the aggro, the Guardian Angel can also do the trick.
Other options : Most magical power items can go to Evelynn: hand of justice, Rabadon's Headdress, Precious Gauntlet... |
What to do with a Spatula?
Duelist's Zeal ( + ): Change your Jhin ou Evelyn en Duelist can be interesting to also give the bonus to Kalista.
Youmuu Specter Blade ( + ) : You can change Evelyn en Assassin if it's your carry to give it extra crits.
Obviously, the Force of nature is always interesting.
Other Interesting Items
Solar Cape : The Solar Cloak is very powerful throughout the game, and works very well on Pyke who will activate it on the opposing backline before casting its spell and going to burn the frontline.
Lance de Shojin ou blue buff : Very interesting on Zilean so that he casts his spell faster.
Course of the game
First carousel
If you want to force this composition, you should aim for a BF Sword, un curved arch or a Giant's Belt.
Early game (Stage 2)
Levels 3/4 (Round 2-3)
This composition has the advantage of having an excellent start to the game as soon as you have 3 Fanatics. If you are lucky enough to have your Pyke with a Solar Cape, you can enjoy an easy winning streak. Try to add Jarvan IV for the bonus Sentinelle at level 4.
With this composition you generally want to pass level 4 naturally in round 2-3 and have about 10 PO at this stage.
Level 5 (Round 2-5 or 2-7)
Your best transitional unit will usually be Zed, which uses Jhin's objects very well and can have Umber (Shade) with Evelyn. It is therefore a natural addition at level 5. Note that if you already have a Chosen Fanatic, you can already play 6 of them.
You'll usually be on a winning streak, so consider leveling up aggressively if you think it's going to keep you winning. If you already have Zed to re-enter, consider leveling up by round 2-5.
Midgame (Stages 3 and 4)
Level 6 (Round 3-2 or 3-4)
At level 6, you should have your 6 Fanatics if possible, with or without an elected official. This will allow you to remain very powerful, and why not maintain your winning streak. If all goes as planned, you can chain 10 victories until round 3-7.
If you are in winning streak, you should level up aggressively by 3-1 or 3-2 round. If it was interrupted, you can slow down a bit more and wait for 3-4 further conserving your economy.
Level 7 (Round 4-1 or 4-2)
At level 7, the easiest addition is to hand in Jarvan IV or add Riven for Sentinel. Avoid Kennen if you are already playing Zed to keep his Ninja bonus.
If you are still missing a lot of upgrades, you can roll at level 7 (trying not to go below 20-30 gold unless you're really in dire straits). Another solution is to iron at 50 gold and slow roll all of Stage 4. Finally, if you're still strong enough, you can simply keep buying XP sans roll.
Endgame (Stage 5+)
Level 8 (Round 5-1 or 5-2)
Usually you want pass level 8 at the beginning of stage 5 to still have a good economy and roll for your upgrades. If you are in winning streak, you can board earlier (in round 4-5 for example).
You should then roll for your 2 star championsIncluding Jhin et Aatrox. Ideally, you also want to find Zilean to be able to pass 9 Fanatics. If you can't find them, just stay 6 Fanatics in the meantime by adding other synergies (like 4 Sentinels for example).
Note that if you don't have a chosen Fanatic, you can roll for one elected Sentinel, ideally Riven. You can then play a composition which is also very powerful, by transferring your defensive objects on Riven (and if possible a Rabadon's Headdress).
9 level
Once you have all your champions (except Zilean) 2 stars, you have a choice to make. If you are not not contested on Jhin and you still have lots of HP, you can boost your economy to 50 gold and slow roll (roll each round your excess gold above 50) to try to get it in 3 stars. This strategy is especially recommended if you have a few Neeko's Helping Hands.

If you can't play for Jhin 3, you should then consider passing 9 level to have a better chance of hitting Zilean 2 stars. It also allows you to add synergies, with champions like Kayn (Umber), Read without (Duelist), Or Azir (Sentinelle).
In general, it is generally interesting to go back to 6 Endgame Cultists and D'add powerful units individually, which allows you to get rid of champions such as Twisted fate ou Evelyn which are quite weak in lategame. It also helps to add more synergies.
Positioning Tips
You will often get the bonus Sentinelle during the game, you must then try to have at least your Sentinels adjacent to each other since they benefit from the bonus shield. For the other units, pay attention to don't overestimate a 200 HP shield putting them in too much danger, such as having Jhin too close to danger.
Try to have Evelyn et Pyke on the same side in a corner: this allows them to target the same target and therefore kill it faster.
Pay attention to your Jhin : if he is killed very quickly (by a spell ofAatrox to Assassins for example), you may be sorely lacking in damage.
