<h2>Best FPL Wildcard team for Gameweek 8: Predicted points</h2>
<p>Before looking at the Wildcard team, here&#8217;s how the top 10 shapes up for predicted points.</p>
<p>It was a midfield-dominated list last week and that remains the case this week, however <strong>Ollie Watkins (£8.0m) </strong>sneaks into the top 10.</p>
<p>The best-ranked defenders are <strong>Trent Alexander-Arnold (£7.9m) </strong>in 14th and <strong>Kieran Trippier (£6.8m) </strong>in 20th, on 24.5 and 22.7 predicted points respectively.</p>

<h2>The best FPL Wildcard team for Gameweek 8 according to AI</h2>
<p>Earlier this week we asked whether <strong>Mohamed Salah (£12.6m) </strong>was essential &#8211; and at that point Hub AI preferred to include him in its optimum Wildcard squad.</p>
<p>That remains the case as things stand, although it&#8217;s worth noting the slim difference in predicted points between the early week AI team and its no-Salah draft.</p>
<ul>

</ul>
<div id="attachment_57311" style="width: 907px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-57311" class="size-full wp-image-57311" src="https://cms.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2023/08/Salah-Sky.jpg" alt="" width="897" height="731" srcset="https://cms.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2023/08/Salah-Sky.jpg 897w, https://cms.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2023/08/Salah-Sky-300x244.jpg 300w, https://cms.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2023/08/Salah-Sky-768x626.jpg 768w, https://cms.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2023/08/Salah-Sky-610x497.jpg 610w" sizes="(max-width: 897px) 100vw, 897px" /><p id="caption-attachment-57311" class="wp-caption-text">Mohamed Salah</p></div>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>One thing that could well change in this draft is the inclusion of <strong>Moussa Diaby (£6.7m)</strong>, who is rated as an injury doubt for Aston Villa&#8217;s game against Wolves.</p>
<p>Diaby is expected to miss Villa&#8217;s Europa League match tonight (Thursday, October 5) but was not entirely ruled out for the weekend.</p>
<p>In any case, the AI is well covered in respect of the Villans, with <strong>Matty Cash (£4.9m) </strong>and <strong>Ollie Watkins (£8.0m) </strong>making the team.</p>
<p>It&#8217;s the only triple up in the squad &#8211; and Tottenham Hotspur coverage is limited to <strong>Son Heung-min (£9.3m) </strong>and <strong>Pedro Porro (£5.0m)</strong>.</p>
<p>The AI prefers <strong>Bruno Fernandes (£8.4m) </strong>to <strong>James Maddison (£7.9m)</strong>, with Sheffield United up next week for Manchester United.</p>
<p>In order to afford a stacked midfield, the AI has opted for a budget bench &#8211; often a feature of its selections as it seeks to maximise points potential in its starting 11.</p>
