There have been plenty of excellent loan stars pulling on the shirt at Stadium MK down the years (some questionable ones as well) who have made a lasting impression, and picking your favourites is an ever-evolving thing.
However, when the question was put to artificial intelligence to pick the best loans XI, there were some pretty questionable choices made by the AG (artificial gaffer).
Here are the best loan players AI chose.

Some good, some... questionable. Here's who the AI picked Photo: Harry Hubbard

. Goalkeeper - Jamie Cumming
The Chelsea loanee was named Player of the Year last season, despite Dons' relegation to League Two. Spending a season-and-a-half on loan from Stamford Bridge, Cumming racked up 77 appearances, and came desperately close to helping Dons to the Championship in 2022. Photo: Jane Russell

. Right back - Adam Smith
The full-back on loan from Tottenham Hotspur spent the first-half of the 2011/12 season on loan at Stadium MK. Making 22 appearances for the club, he also scored two stunning goals and impressed enough to be recalled by Spurs, and sent to Championship side Leeds United for the remainder of the campaign Photo: Clive Mason

9. Right wing - Luke Chadwick
The former Manchester United winger hit the ground running on loan from Norwich in 2008. He scored three goals in eight games for Paul Ince's side, but a knee injury cut his time at Stadium MK short. He was snapped up on a free transfer in January 2009 though, and remained at the club until March 2014 Photo: Ross Kinnaird

10. Left wing - Ryan Colclough
The Wigan winger was a bit of a flash in the pan for Dons in 2016/17. A regular for Karl Robinson, he made 23 appearances, and scored five goals including a hat-trick away at Fleetwood. Fell out of favour when Robbie Neilson took over and returned to Wigan in January 2017 Photo: Pete Norton

11. Striker - Benik Afobe
A remarkable half-season with Dons, on loan from Arsenal in 2014, puts him in the hall of fame of Dons loanees for sure. Scoring 19 goals in 30 appearances, including a brace off the bench against Manchester United, the striker earned a move to Wolves where his career took off Photo: Pete Norton

12. Striker - Patrick Bamford
Had two loan spells at the club, catapulting him to the upper echelons. Scoring 21 in 44 between November 2012 and January 2014, Bamford's career went up and up, earning an England cap in 2021 Photo: Pete Norton
