Injuries are mounting all over the Premier League and FPL managers have been handed another tough decision to make with West Ham star Jarrod Bowen missing his side's last two fixtures.

Irons manager David Moyes gave hope for Bowen's owners heading into last weekend's trip to Burnley, stating he was in contention to play. However, he failed to make the matchday squad and was also absent for West Ham's midweek Europa League fixture.

So who should managers look to bring in for the doubtful Bowen? Here are the top replacements in conjunction with Fantasy Football Hub's powerful AI Points Predictions tool to show their predicted points for FPL Gameweek 14.

Bukayo Saka

  • Fixture: Wolves (H); Predicted Points: 6.0

If you've got cash in the bank or can free up funds to upgrade Bowen to Bukayo Saka this week, this move has to be a priority. Saka is the form player from Arsenal's attack right now going into a key period filled with promising fixtures.

Saka looks to have put his injury concerns behind him, starting Arsenal's last four games, racking up three assists. Mikel Arteta rarely rests him which is key in this fixture crunch period. While Arsenal have mixed things up from the spot in the past, it's still assumed he is the first choice penalty taker when on the pitch.

Bryan Mbeumo

  • Fixture: Luton (H); Predicted Points: 5.9

If you haven't got the funds to go up to Saka, Brentford's Bryan Mbeumo is another suitable replacement and a key asset for fantasy managers for the upcoming period. The Bees have great fixtures in the next three gameweeks, including promoted Luton this weekend.

Mbeumo has already chalked up a 14-point haul against another promoted side in Burnley this season, providing two goals and three assists in three gameweeks in late October. He is the talisman of the side with the advantage of penalties and has played every single league minute this season.

Anthony Gordon

  • Fixture: Manchester United (H) Predicted Points: 5.3

Newcastle United's injury crisis has played into the hands of winger Anthony Gordon, who has played the full 90 minutes in each of their last four Premier League fixtures, racking up two goals and an assist in that time.

His record at St James' Park is sensational, delivering an attacking return in all seven games, with four goals and four assists. Only Mohamed Salah has scored more fantasy points in home games this campaign, with the Magpies winning six out of seven on home turf.
