Fantasy managers were handed yet another injury blow in midweek as Brentford midfielder Bryan Mbeumo hobbled off against Brighton with an ankle knock.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Bees manager Thomas Frank has confirmed the Cameroon international will now miss weeks of action after sustaining the blow on the south coast. He\u2019s in almost a third of sides and already faces a blank Gameweek 18, so he needs to be moved out.<\/p>\n

I\u2019ve picked out the top midfield replacements in conjunction with Fantasy Football Hub\u2019s powerful\u00a0AI Points Predictions tool<\/strong>\u00a0to show their predicted points for FPL Gameweek 16.<\/p>\n

    West Ham\u2019s Jarrod Bowen has become the forgotten man after missing out with injury in Gameweek 13 and is being overlooked as a Mbeumo replacement. Aside from that injury, he has played 90 minutes in every single game and is a key man in the Hammers attack.<\/p>\n

    Bowen has eight goals this season, with premiums Erling Haaland, Mohamed Salah and Son Heung-min the only players to have a better goalscoring record. Opponents Fulham have kept just four clean sheets this campaign, conceding nine goals in their last four games.<\/p>\n

    • Fixture<\/strong>: Everton (A):\u00a0Predicted Points<\/strong>: 4.7<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

      Chelsea\u2019s Cole Palmer is dominating much of the transfer traffic this gameweek after scoring his fifth goal of the season in the defeat at Manchester United on Wednesday. Expect his ownership to steadily climb as we get close to the Gameweek 16 deadline.<\/p>\n

      The big appeal with Palmer is Chelsea\u2019s upcoming fixture list, with games against Everton, Sheffield United, Crystal Palace and Luton Town in their next five. In fact, their next difficult fixture isn\u2019t until the end of January, giving longevity to Palmer as a fantasy pick.<\/p>\n

      • Fixture<\/strong>: Tottenham (A);\u00a0Predicted Points<\/strong>: 4.0<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

        Anthony Gordon was back in training ahead of Newcastle\u2019s trip to Everton in midweek and looks set to be another popular Mbeumo replacement given his six goals and five assists so far this season.<\/p>\n

        The trip to Tottenham is a tough one, but Spurs\u2019 last clean sheet came back in Gameweek 9. Gordon has delivered in every home game so far this season and faces both Fulham and Nottingham Forest at St James\u2019 Park in the next four gameweeks.<\/p>\n
