Best AI FPL team — Gameweek 29
According to FantasyFootballHub’s handy AI team generator, the best wildcard team for Gameweeks 29-32 features a a mix of predominantly Luton, Aston Villa, and Spurs players. This is due mostly to these teams having fixtures during the blank gameweek.
It uses a 3-4-3 formation that appears to be the go-to for most FPL players at this point in the season, with a strong midfield but a fully-loaded frontline, though with the cost of this team, you can almost certainly make some big upgrades in the coming weeks. Here’s what AI selects as the best GW29 team:

Who to buy & sell in FPL Gameweek 29
With the first few gameweeks out of the way, it’s time to start planning long-term for the coming gameweeks, and that’ll involve making informed decisions on the best players to bring in or remove from your team.
Here are our recommendations on players to buy and sell, based on form, ownership, and projected performances going forward, with a mind to the upcoming blank and double gameweek schedule:
Who to buy in Gameweek 29
- James Maddison (8.0m)
- Alfie Doughty (4.6m)
- Ivan Toney (8.1m)
Who to sell in Gameweek 29
- Dominic Solanke (7.2m)
- Kieran Trippier (6.9m)
- Ederson (5.5m)
With the upcoming blank and double gameweek schedule no doubt causing a headache for FPL managers, you’ll want to assess the upcoming schedule and target teams that play in the blanks and doubles, while establishing your chip strategy. All three of these players fit the bill but are also valuable members to the team outside of blank weeks, too.
As for who to sell, we’ve picked players who are injured or out of form — at this point in the season, unless the upside is significant, there is no point holding onto these players..
