The Fix Assistant Manager feature is a powerful tool which can be customised to generate a Wildcard team for the next five Gameweeks, and the emphasis on a strong bench can be customised as well. With the above Customisations and a 30 percent emphasis on substitutes, the tool has generated the below ideal Wildcard team.

Optimise your fantasy football team using Artificial Intelligence.

Goalkeepers

The Algorithm favours Flekken and Kaminski as the goalkeeper pairing, with Luton's 'Double Gameweek' in Gameweek 7 a big reason for the latter. However, as the below image from our Rotation Planner shows, if managers are looking to save some money and willing to forego the Luton Double Gameweek, going with Areola is also a decent option with the Hammers facing Sheffield United that week as Kaminski would not be required again until Gameweek 12.

Defenders

Double Newcastle defence with Schär and Botman is recommended by the Algorithm, and Cash also makes the squad. Only Man. Utd (16) kept more clean sheets than Newcastle (13) last season and the Magpies showed their defensive solidity with a clean sheet at the San Siro midweek. Meanwhile, no defender has taken more shots (11) or landed more shots on target than Cash (five). As the below image from our Fixture Analyser shows, over the next six Gameweeks, Newcastle and Villa are ranked fourth and fifth for 'Defence Difficulty' which makes them great long term holds. Fulham have kept two clean sheets already and Ream is an affordable entry into their defence. Kaboré created two ‘big chances’ against Fulham and the Burkina Faso international is considered the best budget pick for Double Gameweek 7. It is interesting to note that neither Estupiñán or Trippier make the Algorithm Wildcard squad with its preference to go cheap in defence.

Midfield

Salah has delivered FPL returns in each of the opening five matches and is the second-highest projected scorer over the next six Gameweeks as shown in the image below. No player has created more 'big chances' (six) than the Egyptian international this season, which demonstrates that he has added another (creativity) string to his bow. Saka, Ødegaard and Mbeumo also make the top five which sees them included in the XI. Brighton (15) have scored more goals than any other team and Gross is a great entry point into their attack at a price of just 6.3.

Forwards

Haaland’s inclusion does not require any explanation with the Norwegian international topping the statistics for shots (29), shots on target (16) and ‘big chances’ (12) so far this season. Alongside him, the Algorithm favours the pair of Wissa and Morris, the former (20) is second only to Haaland for shots (29) amongst forwards, while Morris is projected to be the top scoring Double Gameweek 7 asset. The Hatters' duo of Morris and Kabore can be rotated in as shown in the below image from our Assistant Manager feature with Gross and Wissa making way in Gameweek 7. Similarly, Morris can come in for Gross in Gameweek 9 when Brighton face Man. City.
