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.

      Possibly. Selling Sterling wasn't smart. You just have to prepare for the fact that he'll get benched now and then but as today shows, he can still score points when coming off the bench.

      Not a huge mistake.
      Hazard has good fixtures.
      Is another genuine captaincy option particularly when man City have a harder fixture.

      You A] JUST Sold Sterling TODAY (after seeing the lineups)?
      or B] You made that move BEFORE GW17 Startred?

      Because Pre-Match, I was disappointed w/ my Sterling(c); and then got hella pissed when he actually came on for Sané(also own)!
      ...so watching that header hit the net, was the very definition of a ‘Salvation-JAM!’ lol

        A bit similar to Wolves' defense: form turned when many decided that they are good and reliable enough to get in. Doherty at least compensates with his attacking returns. But 1 CS in 7 games for in the xGA sense the best defense in the league sounds a bit weak...

      Last chance for Laporte. Only one clean sheet since GW10 when I got him in. Last chance against CP...

      Kane can get stuffed if he pulls another CAR match from earlier this season. Luckily didn’t get him in then
