A computer has selected what it thinks will be the highest-scoring Fantasy Premier League side for the 2024/25 season - including an unexpected Ipswich Town player.

With millions of FPL players around the world currently picking their sides ahead of next weekend's big kick-off, Instant Casinos used an AI tool to predict the squad which will tally the most points in the coming season.

There are some familiar and expected faces, led by Manchester City's goal machine Erling Haaland, who costs a record £15m in this season's version of the game.

Haaland bagged 27 goals and eight assists last term, racking up 217 points. 

He's partnered up top by Newcastle's £7.5m striker Alexander Isak (172 points last season), while the computer also selects Arsenal's £6.5m defender Ben White, who was the highest-scoring defensive player last term, accruing 182 points.

But there are a number of surprise picks too, with Town defender Ben Johnson - who signed as a free agent after leaving West Ham in the summer - selected by the computer.

Johnson costs just £4m and will likely start every game for Town when fit, so looks a good value choice for a bench spot.

Left-back assist machine Leif Davis (£4.5m) and electrifying attacker Omari Hutchinson (£5.5m) both miss out though.

The computer predicts that a 3-5-2 formation will prove the most fruitful in the game, with midfielders leading the way in terms of points last season.

The full AI picked squad is:

Formation: 3-5-2

Keeper: Emiliano Martinez – Aston Villa (£5m)

Defenders: Ben White – Arsenal (£6.5m), Fabian Schar – Newcastle (£5.5m), Kieran Trippier – Newcastle (£6m)

Midfielders: Eberechi Eze – Crystal Palace (£7m), Gabriel Martinelli – Arsenal (£7m), Jarrod Bowen – West Ham (£7.5m), Marcus Rashford – Manchester United (£7m), Luis Diaz – Liverpool (£7.5m)
