<h2>Best FPL Wildcard team for Gameweek 23: Fixtures</h2>
The Hub&#8217;s <a href="https://www.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/fixture-ticker">fixture ticker</a> for the next five gameweeks sees Manchester City ranked top, helped by their double in Gameweek 25, with four home games in this spell.
Newcastle United are the best of the rest, with a trio of home games over the next five gameweeks including Luton Town, Bournemouth and Wolves.

<h2>Best FPL Wildcard team for Gameweek 23: Predicted points</h2>
Erling Haaland (£14.0m) returned to the Manchester City squad in midweek, which has seen him secure top spot in the predicted points rankings over the next five gameweeks.
That puts him back in the Best FPL Wildcard team, as one of three Manchester City assets in attack, with Kevin De Bruyne (£10.7m), Phil Foden (£8.0m), Julian Alvarez (£6.9m) and Jeremy Doku (£6.5m) also making the top ten.
Brentford&#8217;s Ivan Toney (£8.0m) also has Double Gameweek 25 on the horizon, and has produced three attacking returns in two since returning from his lengthy ban, but it&#8217;s not enough to make the wildcard squad this week.

<h2>The best FPL Wildcard team for Gameweek 23 according to Hub AI</h2>
The AI has called upon Erling Haaland with his minutes now on the up, but it&#8217;s not enough to award him the armband for the trip to Brentford.
That honour goes to Bukayo Saka (£9.1m) ahead of Liverpool at home, with the Arsenal winger having delivered two goals in the last four gameweeks, from a leading 20 shots among midfielders.
<img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-61447" src="https://cms.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/FFStuffImage-35.jpg" alt="" width="1596" height="1300" srcset="https://cms.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/FFStuffImage-35.jpg 1596w, https://cms.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/FFStuffImage-35-300x244.jpg 300w, https://cms.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/FFStuffImage-35-1024x834.jpg 1024w, https://cms.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/FFStuffImage-35-768x626.jpg 768w, https://cms.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/FFStuffImage-35-1536x1251.jpg 1536w, https://cms.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/FFStuffImage-35-610x497.jpg 610w, https://cms.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/FFStuffImage-35-1080x880.jpg 1080w" sizes="(max-width: 1596px) 100vw, 1596px" />
Julian Alvarez joins Haaland in the forward line for a striking double up on Manchester City, with the Argentinian having scored four goals in the last four gameweeks.
Aston Villa&#8217;s Ollie Watkins (£8.8m) completes the forward line as he travels to Sheffield United, who are without a clean sheet in their last six games.
Anthony Gordon (£6.1m) takes the vice-captaincy for the visit of Luton Town, who have failed to keep a clean sheet on the road this season.
<img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-61448" src="https://cms.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/FFStuffImage-36.jpg" alt="" width="1596" height="1300" srcset="https://cms.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/FFStuffImage-36.jpg 1596w, https://cms.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/FFStuffImage-36-300x244.jpg 300w, https://cms.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/FFStuffImage-36-1024x834.jpg 1024w, https://cms.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/FFStuffImage-36-768x626.jpg 768w, https://cms.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/FFStuffImage-36-1536x1251.jpg 1536w, https://cms.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/FFStuffImage-36-610x497.jpg 610w, https://cms.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/FFStuffImage-36-1080x880.jpg 1080w" sizes="(max-width: 1596px) 100vw, 1596px" />
Jarrod Bowen (£8.1m) and Anthony Garnacho (£4.8m) make up the final midfield slots as Manchester United entertain West Ham.
This means that on 4.6 predicted points, Foden is only good enough for the first substitute spot.
Kieran Trippier (£6.7m) headlines the defence, as Newcastle United look to improve on their leading tally of six home clean sheets, with the set-piece specialist registering an assist last time out.
<img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-61449" src="https://cms.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/FFStuffImage-37.jpg" alt="" width="1596" height="1300" srcset="https://cms.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/FFStuffImage-37.jpg 1596w, https://cms.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/FFStuffImage-37-300x244.jpg 300w, https://cms.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/FFStuffImage-37-1024x834.jpg 1024w, https://cms.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/FFStuffImage-37-768x626.jpg 768w, https://cms.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/FFStuffImage-37-1536x1251.jpg 1536w, https://cms.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/FFStuffImage-37-610x497.jpg 610w, https://cms.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/FFStuffImage-37-1080x880.jpg 1080w" sizes="(max-width: 1596px) 100vw, 1596px" />
Arsenal&#8217;s Gabriel (£5.0m) and Oleksandr Zinchenko (£5.2m) complete the defence, with this pair among the Gunners&#8217; attacking returns in recent games.
AI still ranks them highly for the visit of Liverpool, with Trent Alexander-Arnold (£8.5m) last on the bench after finding himself benched in midweek.
Martin Dubravka (£4.2m) is selected between the sticks, which means we have a double up on the Newcastle United defence, and a triple up across the squad as a whole.
<img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-61450" src="https://cms.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/FFStuffImage-38.jpg" alt="" width="1596" height="1300" srcset="https://cms.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/FFStuffImage-38.jpg 1596w, https://cms.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/FFStuffImage-38-300x244.jpg 300w, https://cms.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/FFStuffImage-38-1024x834.jpg 1024w, https://cms.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/FFStuffImage-38-768x626.jpg 768w, https://cms.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/FFStuffImage-38-1536x1251.jpg 1536w, https://cms.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/FFStuffImage-38-610x497.jpg 610w, https://cms.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/FFStuffImage-38-1080x880.jpg 1080w" sizes="(max-width: 1596px) 100vw, 1596px" />
Ezri Konsa (£4.6m) sits as second substitute, while Matt Turner (£3.9m) also makes the bench as the backup goalkeeper for Nottingham Forest&#8217;s trip to Bournemouth.
