<p><em><a href="http://twitter.com/hollyshand">Holly Shand</a> looks at the<strong> Best Doucoure Replacements</strong> in FPL </em><em>ahead of <strong>Gameweek 9</strong>. </em></p>
<p>https://cms.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/fantasy-premier-league-ultimate-guide/</p>
<p>On Tuesday, news dropped that Everton&#8217;s <strong>Abdoulaye Doucouré (£5.7m)</strong> sustained a foot injury.</p>
<p>This has left FPL managers with a headache on <strong>what to do with the in-form Everton midfielder </strong>in Gameweek 9.</p>
<p>The Frenchman is in nearly one million squads right now. He&#8217;s already been transferred out by 30,000 players ahead of the upcoming deadline.</p>
<p>Fellow team-mate <b>Andros Townsend (£5.7m) </b>is the most popular replacement as <strong>Everton</strong>&#8216;s <a href="https://cms.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/fixture-ticker/"><strong>good fixtures continue</strong></a>, with <strong>Watford</strong> and <strong>Wolves</strong> up next.</p>

<h3>How Long Will he be out for? &#8211; FPL Best Doucoure Replacements</h3>
<p>Doucoure suffered a stress response in a bone in his foot against <strong>West Ham</strong> on Sunday, despite playing 90 minutes.</p>
<p>While no time frame has been put on his recovery, injury expert Ben Dinnery suggests we could be looking at two months.</p>

<p>A similar spell out this time around would see Doucoure missing the next ten games.</p>

<p>This means <strong>we may not see him again this year</strong>. We should find out more details of the investigations in Rafael Benitez&#8217;s Friday press conference.</p>
<p>The good news is that the club are reporting that Doucoure won&#8217;t need surgery so this should speed up his return.</p>
<p>However, it&#8217;s likely that many Fantasy managers will now be looking to sell him.</p>

<h3>Who are the Best FPL Replacements? &#8211; FPL Best Doucoure Replacements</h3>
<p>The mid-priced midfielder bracket is one which has flourished this season. Yet the picture is constantly changing on who the best options are.</p>
<p>For managers with some funds in the bank, an upgrade to <strong>Raphinha (£6.6m) </strong>is ideal. He has scored three goals in seven games.</p>
<p><strong>Bryan Mbeumo (£5.5m) </strong>leads the way when it comes to direct replacements. The Brentford forward has<strong> two goals in his last four games</strong> and <strong>Brentford&#8217;s</strong> fixtures turn for the better in<strong> Gameweek 10</strong>.</p>
<p>This pair are significantly ahead of the rest in the <a href="https://cms.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/predictions/"><strong>Points Prediction tool</strong></a> for midfielders priced under £7.0 million over the next four Gameweeks.</p>

<h3>Should FPL Managers Stay Invested in Everton&#8217;s Attack? &#8211; FPL Best Doucoure Replacements</h3>
<p><strong>Everton </strong>have been one of the surprise packages this season, scoring 13 goals in their opening eight fixtures. They are ranked eighth for big chances (15) over this period.</p>
<p>They&#8217;ve prevailed despite the absence of <strong>Dominic Calvert-Lewin</strong> and <strong>Richarlison</strong> for several weeks.</p>
<p>Wingers <strong>Demarai Gray (£5.8m) </strong>and <strong>Andros Townsend (£5.7m) </strong>have been the shining lights, alongside Doucoure.</p>
<p>However, Doucoure is a key player for Everton and is involved in much of the play at both ends of the pitch.</p>
<p>This could dent Everton&#8217;s output in their upcoming fixtures. He has been<strong> involved in half of their goals over the last four games</strong>.</p>

<p>Comparing these two assets, Townsend has the edge right now, especially if he remains on <a href="https://cms.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/premier-league-set-piece-takers/"><strong>penalties</strong></a>.</p>
<p>However, Calvert-Lewin is set to return soon. I think there are better options elsewhere though, since Doucoure will be sorely missed.</p>
