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.

    Where’s my friend Royscalleranne who called me a snowflake fan because I predicted we would only narrowly win v Burnley? Do some research pal.

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

      Just like last season. It was fairly predictable

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

      People who call people snowfalkes are usually snowflakes

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

        Omg does that statement make me an uber snowflake? Dammit!

      Aren't we all fans of snowflakes at Christmas?

      1. Carlton P
        • 8 Years
        5 years, 4 months ago

        What kind of snowflakes?

  3. cravencottage

    2 FT;

    Kane, Sterling > Kun, Salah ?

    1. GREEN IS GOOD
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      Aguero maybe, if he starts

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

    Them Kane stats 😆

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

      What is it

      1. Whats the Huth
        • 8 Years
        5 years, 4 months ago

        Sh*t

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

      the ones about how many times he had his mouth open during the match

  5. AzzaroMax99
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 4 months ago

    Should I get Kepa or Lloris?

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

      Kepa

      1. AzzaroMax99
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 4 months ago

        Don't have any Che or Tot defenders. Lloris is cheaper but Che looking stronger and harder to concede.

  6. french holiday
    • 6 Years

    Finally returns from Benett.

  7. Tshelby
    • 9 Years

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

      44 (-4). Still many games to play.

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

        Nice!

    2. Whats the Huth

    Isaac Fail

    Blocking some juicy points

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

      Not really

  9. Podge
    • 13 Years
    5 years, 4 months ago

    15 on the pitch 18 on the bench.
    Well played podge.

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

      18 on the bench too for me ..gutted

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

    Before BPS 44pts with Fabianski/Bellerin/Kolasinac/Hazard left to play, pretty happy with that tbf

  11. french holiday
    • 6 Years
    5 years, 4 months ago

    Kane out Aguero In

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

      Have been thinking this

  12. FER FUSCH AKE
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 4 months ago

    Doherty killing my rank week in week out. I'll just bring him in now to stop his owners from getting any points off him.

    1. GREEN IS GOOD
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      Shoulda got him about 2 months ago

  13. Dynamic Duos
    • 10 Years
    5 years, 4 months ago

    Sorry Poch I will take the Kane assist and Eriksen goal.

    1. sunzip14
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      me too!

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

    Steve Cook, 0 points from 270 minutes these past 3 GWs.

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

      Consistent if nothing else.

  15. sunzip14
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 4 months ago

    Sane, Eriksen, Rondon, (K)ane 30from 4 pre baps as of now. lets go Fabianski+Anderson+Snodgrass and make it a good Saturday!

  16. BearHug
    • 8 Years
    5 years, 4 months ago

    Anyone watched the Huddersfield game?

    FPL says Lowe is out at 59th minute. All the apps like Livescore and Flash Scores have him at 60.

    Bummer

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

      Desperately need that cs point

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

        Rondonaldo scored in the 55th

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

          crap, my bad

    2. Hy liverpool
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      Ouch

    3. Brosstan
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      Because the apps count the 59th minute as 60' while FPL requires the player to complete the 59th minute to get 60 minutes played. If you get subbed at 00:45 the apps will say 1'.

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

        Exactly. Playing 60mins means reaching the 61st minute as there is no 0th minute.

    4. Andy'81
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      Good news, Rondon scored in the 55th minute so don't worry, you've lost that CS anyways.

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

    Only 2 Pen saves from Fabs and a hattie from Felipe will save my GW

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

      This would be adequate

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

      Fabs does a begovic and scores a bouncy goal will be great as well

  18. Maddi Son
    • 6 Years
    5 years, 4 months ago

    41 with Fab, Felipe, Salah & Laca.

    Average around 30-35 I'm guessing?

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

      Average about that with most Captain's played

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

      Doesn’t matter

      1. Maddi Son
        • 6 Years
        5 years, 4 months ago

        Nothing matters, but I want a green arrow.

    3. AzzaroMax99
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      I have 26 from 6 🙁 Foster lost his cs and Wilson did nothing. Average is around 29 for now.

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

        17(-4) from 4 at the moment for me. Got AWB on the bench which is annoying. Should have benched Wilson this week.

        Got 3 players in the WHU match, 2 CHE and 2 LIV left (one is Salah (c))

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

      32 (+ Sane and maybe Jim BAPS) w/ Fab Felipe Hazard Auba Robertson Alonso here

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

    Have to hand it to Spurs - no stadium, no new signings, but still keep winning

    Kane could have done better today if Lamela had picked him out a couple of times instead of shooting

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

      And best thing he doesnt moan like Mourinho. Imagine Poch getting Manutd squad to manage

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

        He'd be a force to be reckoned with at utd. Apparently Fergie was spotted having dinner with him shortly before Moyes appointment. How different that could have been

  20. french holiday
    • 6 Years
    5 years, 4 months ago

    Let this game be lesson for Poch the next time he thinks of benching Son.

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

      I'd imagine he'll start him for the midweek Arsenal League cup match then back on the bench at the weekend for everton

      1. french holiday
        • 6 Years
        5 years, 4 months ago

        Everton are no Burnley and even Burnley gave them a scare.

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

          Son won't start 2 games in 3 days & he won't go a week without starting I'd imagine

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

      He won't though and rested some big players. No lesson to be learned.

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

    40 with 5 to go. Happy enough with that despite Bennett points on the bench (had Doherty so didn’t double up for some reason)

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

    Kamara hattie would be wonderfu

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

    Not even a save point for Hart 😮

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

      Burnley defended well.

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

        Spurs were sh*t rather.

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

    Peltier to Holebas to strenghthen bench during new year worked well. Now will again play him GW vs NEW home as Doherty has tot away. Finally a decent transfer after Salah transfer out last gw

  25. Pompel
    • 10 Years
    5 years, 4 months ago

    21 juicy Wolves points 😎

  26. Digital-Real
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 4 months ago

    Kane looks a shell of a player he was.

  27. Hazz
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 6 Years
    5 years, 4 months ago

    Should have ditched Fraser on WC.
    Definitely shouldn't have brought in Wilson on WC!

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

      Check their next match. I will be hiding behind couch as non owner

      1. Hazz
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 6 Years
        5 years, 4 months ago

        Yeah - they were kept in for these two fixtures to be fair. Will be sitting and desperately hoping.

  28. JustPark
    • 8 Years
    5 years, 4 months ago

    Sergio Rondon might be on my watch list.

  29. Kepa's at the wheel
    • 14 Years
    5 years, 4 months ago

    Mitro turn on fire plz

  30. french holiday
    • 6 Years
    5 years, 4 months ago

    I will be happy to see people selling Sterlingfor Sane. He will only be more differential and while Sane will get his rest.
