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.

    2. Piggs Boson

    3. Thick Of It
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      Let them warm up, they are like Greg "The Hammer" Valentine they need at least 15 mins before they get going.

  13. Team Cruel
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    5 years, 4 months ago

    1. FPL Daniel

    10 mins gone no Goals yet 🙁

    1. Jafooli
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      Called it 😎

  17. Monkey Hanger
    • 10 Years
    5 years, 4 months ago

    I think the BT live score programme is far better than the Sky one.

    Agree or not?

    1. J T
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      Prefer to just watch the match

    2. Fred54
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      Yep, mainly because they focus on assists too.

    3. Team Cruel
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      I think watching an actual game is far better than watching a score programme.

      Agree or not?

      1. Monkey Hanger
        • 10 Years
        5 years, 4 months ago

        Not possible for 3pm's in the UK.

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

    Will Kane make 60'?

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

      KANEEEEE will make 90' and score a hattrick

    2. Hotdogs for Tea
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

  20. The Big Fella
    • 7 Years

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