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.

          • 7 Years
          5 years, 4 months ago

          Dunno man. Tempting but seems daft with still such a good run of fixtures.

          1. Salah’s Sonnet
            • 12 Years
            5 years, 4 months ago

            I know, does feel daft, it’s just his price and value for returns, grrr

  5. BenDavies
    • 11 Years

    1. Hy liverpool
      • 10 Years

      Same

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

      Same as many others, was a 50/50 call

    3. The Left Duke #3
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      Me 2 after a poll on here. Had AWB in a 5 man defense all week and changed this morning ffs

    4. Deli Alli OxenFree!
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      I’ve got Holebas as my first sub!—Followed by AWB & then Richarlison...but somehow, idk if i’m gonna use ANY SUBS!
      (least Holebas didn’t get a Cleanie on top of that goal tho!)

  9. WVA
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 4 months ago

    Cannot believe Son and Wilson came on, did nothing and blocked my Bennett clean sheet, i am having one of those seasons, 11 red arrows in a row now!

    1. Salah’s Sonnet
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      Wow

    2. XabiAlonso
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      Had the same myself along with sterling. Just one of those weeks

  10. Brehmeren
    • 13 Years
    5 years, 4 months ago

    As a non City or Spurs owner, starting Wilson instead of Bennett, this gw could have started better.

    1. FPL_Gyarados
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      I started Wilson instead of AWB. Glad Kane didn't get too many points as all my head to heads have him as captain. I've Salah(c) myself.

      My Mum's cup match has Kane (TC) so not out of it yet I feel.

  11. Piggs Boson
    • 12 Years
    5 years, 4 months ago

    Budget defenders doing the business. Doherty and AWB 🙂

    Big result for Palace.

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

    Looking like only 6 points for AWB today.

  13. Top Lad Dakes.
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 4 months ago

    Irrelevant Wolves goal.
    Cav G costa A

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

    Wolves keep a cleanie against a rampant Bournemouth.... Aarghhhhhhhhhh!

    1. Salah’s Sonnet
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      Rampant?

    2. SADIO SANÉ
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      They've been utter shite for weeks now

      1. F_Ivanovic
        • 8 Years
        5 years, 4 months ago

        They have played 3 of the top 6 in that time though...

  15. tm245
    • 12 Years
    5 years, 4 months ago

    Double Wolves CS, finally!

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

      Got rid of Patricio and Boly on WC but it was at the stage where I probably wouldn't have played them anyway, maybe Boly over AWB :/

  16. Pacer.
    • 9 Years
    5 years, 4 months ago

    Will Eriksen really get no bonus?

  17. Top Lad Dakes.
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 4 months ago

    grrr, AWB first sub. Didn't expect a Fraser blank today

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

    Kane winning assist BAPS to be added?

    1. Tshelby
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      Don't think so

  19. Deli Alli OxenFree!
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 4 months ago

    Wow! Of course it was Eriksen this week!
    LMAO!
    Can’t believe Son missed his chances, AND Alli couldn’t get proper contact on that cross at the post!!
    Hoping for Defender BPS now, after Eriksen, I guess?
    ...come on Tripper! lol

  20. FDMS All Starz
    • 8 Years
    5 years, 4 months ago

    Lesson: Dnt bench Wanbisa just because he is dirt cheap

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

    Time to sell Kane,Rich,Fraser,Wilson,Mahrez .....

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

    Genuine Question:

    Is Doherty essential?

    1. Yank Revolution
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      If you don't count on him for CS, then yes

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

      Not if you don't already have him with their next 5 fixtures

    3. SADIO SANÉ
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      Yes, Digne and Holebas too - making a mockery of Alonso's price

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

      If you got him at 4.4 yes

    5. HNI
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      I think 5mn for a CS giving midfielder isnt bad. Easy to accomodate too as cheap. I brought him late at 4.7mn ignoring stats but would be stupid to not bring after Liv as he keeps ticking

    6. Granville
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 14 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      I think it's daft not owning a player priced so cheaply who offers so much.

      1. Salah’s Sonnet
        • 12 Years
        5 years, 4 months ago

        He still worth bringing in you think Granville?

    7. Deulofail
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      No one is essential unless you have weird goals like, "own as many orange shirt players as possible"

  23. Yank Revolution
    • 12 Years
    5 years, 4 months ago

    41 pts from 8: Laca, Kola and Anderson to go...guess I'll take that.

    1. Salah’s Sonnet
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      Cool story

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

      Brag Alert Icon needed

  24. Stinglikeabee
    • 8 Years
    5 years, 4 months ago

    Patrico, AWB and Bennett all on my bench. Gutting. Just sums up my season.

    1. DV8R
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      Which keeper did you play instead?

      1. Stinglikeabee
        • 8 Years
        5 years, 4 months ago

        Leno

        1. F_Ivanovic
          • 8 Years
          5 years, 4 months ago

          pretty silly to play Leno instead - Wolves CS odds were 13/10 and Arsenals are 2/1. (for a good reason - their defence has been rubbish as is and they've got injuries/suspensions all over) with no CB...

  25. Botman and Robben
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 4 months ago

    Staring at AWBs points on bench. Sad.

  26. Releasebreaks
    • 6 Years
    5 years, 4 months ago

    Does anyone knows why Maddison subbed at HT ?

  27. Niho992
    • 5 Years
    5 years, 4 months ago

    Another awful GW for me 34 and 5 to go

    1. Salah’s Sonnet
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      Are you joking?

      Get out

      1. Niho992
        • 5 Years
        5 years, 4 months ago

        No im not, actually i used hit so its 30 points...

        and Kamara is one of those 5...

        WB on the bench

  28. chrisdale98
    • 9 Years
    5 years, 4 months ago

    How likely is Kayal to play? I get AWB off the bench if he doesn't

  29. Silecro
    • 6 Years
    5 years, 4 months ago

    Well, starting Bennett, patricio and awb turn out quite well

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

      good for you. Benching Bennett,patricio,playing morrisson (almost bought holebas) didn't turn out quite well

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

        well, logic was certainly on your side, just results weren't

  30. Alexis Nonsense
    • 8 Years
    5 years, 4 months ago

    Sterling + Sané owners are you keeping both?

    I can see them both start as Sané got 65mins and is needed at that flank and Sterling had his rest

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

      Yes

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

      I'm swapping Sterling for Sane

      Sterling will likely start the Wednesday night league cup game after being benched today & be benched vs. Palace, start v leicester midweek after that & then benched again for southampton before starting liverpool

    3. waitinginthelonggrass
      • 13 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      Keeping for next week anyways
