Son, Eriksen and Wilson benched as rotation continues

Rotation continues to affect Fantasy Premier League managers as Gameweek 17 continues with the Saturday 3pm matches.

Son Heung-min (£8.5m) and Christian Eriksen (£9.3m) were named among the substitutes for Spurs ahead of their match against Burnley, while Harry Kane (£12.6m) and Dele Alli (£8.9m) got starts.

Kieran Trippier (£6.1m) comes back into the side having missed Gameweek 16 through injury, while Ben Davies (£5.6m) was deployed at centre-back with Danny Rose (£5.8m) on the left.

Youngster Oliver Skipp (£4.5m) is set for his full Premier League debut in midfield.

With Bournemouth away at Wolves today, Callum Wilson (£6.9m) returned to the matchday squad after injury but was deemed fit enough only for the bench. Simon Francis (£4.4m) misses out meaning a second start of the season for Tyrone Mings (£4.3m) in the back-three.

Wayne Hennessey (£4.5m) misses out for Crystal Palace, meaning Vicente Guaita (£4.2m) comes in to replace him as Leicester come to Selhurst Park.

Jordan Ayew (£5.7m) lines up as a centre-forward with Wilfried Zaha (£6.7m) serving his one-match ban with Martin Kelly (£3.9m) filling in for the suspended James Tomkins (£4.3m).

Isaac Success (£4.6m) drops out of the Watford side hosting Cardiff with Gerard Deulofeu (£5.4m) coming back in to play up front.

    Plan is maybe next gw aguero in for auba, also keeping an eye on liverpool assets, but problem is gw 19 midweek boxing day fixture, considering getting son back at it but rotation will likely happen same as today also liverpool i expect will get hit by rotation before arsenal game

      Auba vs Burnley though....

    2. My Name Is Pepu
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      Who sells Auba before Burnley?

      1. El Lobito 10

        Nightfox 😀

    3. Alexis Nonsense
      • 8 Years

      Jesus showed that he's capable, so Kun might be rotated

  2. Nomar
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    5 years, 4 months ago

    Think I'm going to watch Watford v Cardiff. Should be good for a laugh.

  3. El-Kloppico

    Buying Eriksen 2 matches ago has been the worst transfer by far for me this season! Bet he'll start firing as soon as I sell, just like Sane.

    1. My Name Is Pepu
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      Let me know once you've sold him.

      1. El-Kloppico

    1. g40steve
      • 6 Years

  7. Gerd Mueller’s thighs
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years

    If Kane disappoints again, on to Kun?

    1. g40steve
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      Worth watching but defo target.

    2. El Lobito 10
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

  8. NABIL - FPL otai
    • 11 Years
    5 years, 4 months ago

    Sold Tripp for Schindler.

    Henn no show so Ryan coming on.

    Digne last on bench.

    Not a good start

  9. My Name Is Pepu
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 4 months ago

    Trippier, keep crossing that ball. Harold, keep heading them inside the net.

    1. ⚔★Vibudh★⚔
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      Sold Trippier for luiz thinking he was out :(((

      1. My Name Is Pepu
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 4 months ago

        Ouch! It was a tricky call TBH.

        I kept Trippier because I want him long term.

        Good luck with Luiz.

    Not so keen on my Kane (c) anymore with lamella & moura both starting. 2 selfish players who don't always take the best options.
    Moura 1 assist all season

    1. Rainer
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      Lamela will dive for Kane pens/FKs at least.

      1. ⚔★Vibudh★⚔
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 4 months ago

        xD

  11. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
    • 14 Years

    1. Sim Simma
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      Reverse psychology ? One minute you're encouraging Kane hatties, the next Joe Hart heroics

      1. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
        • 14 Years
        5 years, 4 months ago

        Joe Hart has a massive role to play in Kane’s haul today

  12. Rash
    • 6 Years
    5 years, 4 months ago

    Do not let me down AGAIN Mr Kane

  13. Dele
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 4 months ago

  19. DAZZ
    • 9 Years
    5 years, 4 months ago

    Burnley have conceded SO many goals recently, surely they concede another 1 or 2 today, lets be honest they arent leaving Wembley with a clean sheet today

    1. Unfathomable Ruination
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      They are not leaving the pitch in the first half with it ...

    2. Gudjohnsen
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago
