Name of the form

"Flying in the league, and near faultless form in the Champions League too, with five wins from five before a meaningless dead rubber, including a crucial win away in Naples against one of Europe’s finest sides." (The Guardian.)

What is the name of the grammatical form of the sentence like the one above? Is it a clause, set of phrases?

--------------------------

It begins with the capital letter and ends with the full stop but is devoid of the finite verb; it seems to be a set of phrases and non-finite clauses.

Without a subject and finite verb it's incorrect English. As such, it has no grammatical form you can put a name to.

It's not a grammatical term, but I'd call it "stream-of-consciousness". I don't recommend imitating it.

The full paragraph:

It’s been amazing. Flying in the league, and near faultless form in the Champions League too, with five wins from five before a meaningless dead rubber, including a crucial win away in Naples against one of Europe’s finest sides. We’ve broken countless records already and I’m sure there are more to come. What a time it is to be a City fan.
