AI has identified the best Fantasy Premier League wildcard team for you to pick in Gameweek 29 of the 2023/24 season, choosing players it expects to score the most points in the next five Gameweeks to give you the strongest lead possible.
We’re very much into the business end of the 2023/24 FPL campaign now, and we’re getting down to the wire in title races for mini-leagues.
That means we’re at the point where blanks and double gameweeks have caused havoc, and one slip-up will cost you in that title race.
With your 100m budget becoming incredibly difficult to navigate in this crunch period, especially with price rises and drops, making these decisions can be frustrating, especially at wildcard time — but luckily, AI has done the hard work for you.
Best FPL Gameweek 29 wildcard team
FantasyFootballHub’s AI team picker gives you the best chance at glory based entirely on stats and key data, and below is what they perceive to be the best team for Gameweek 29 if you’re using your wildcard, or even if you just want to make some major changes.
Their My Team wildcard tool gives you the best 16 players based on a 5-Gameweek projection. This team had settled into a similar pattern with Salah, Son, Saka, Bowen, Gordon, Pedro Porro, and Alexander-Arnold all involved. However, that’s changed in a big way now.
Here’s the best FPL Gameweek 29 team based on AI’s projections:
- GK: Flekken (BRE)
- GK: Areola (WHU)
- DEF: Doughty (LUT)
- DEF: Taylor (BUR)
- DEF: Pedro Porro (TOT)
- DEF: Reguillon (BRE)
- DEF: Udogie (TOT)
- MID: Son (TOT) (C)
- MID: Douglas Luiz (AST)
- MID: Bowen (WHU)
- MID: Barkley (LUT)
- MID: Salah (LIV)
- FWD: Toney (BRE) (VC)
- FWD: Watkins (AST)
- FWD: Morris (LUT)
This is what AI is going for in it’s best Wildcard team for FPL GW29
Obviously, this won’t be perfect, and can only use the data available to it to make the best prediction. For example, you might not want to have such a weak bench and would prefer to have some more options.
The aforementioned blank gameweeks have caused havoc for AI in gameweek 29, and there is a limited crop of players to choose from. Potential big scorers like Heung-Min Son, Ollie Watkins, and Ivan Toney are still there, but AI also wants to stash Mo Salah for his eventual return.
If you choose to run with this team, you will want a route back to Erling Haaland for GW30, so be clever about things.
