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.

    Jimmy goal good for a Wilson 1 pt cameo

  2. UnitednationsXI

    sold Jimenez on WC

    1. FPL Daniel
      • 14 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      why? great stats and cheap. He scores too

        5 years, 4 months ago

        yes was a tough call...was changing structure of team to 352.

        could have kept him as the 8th attacker but then severe benching headaches so got rid of him and upgraded wan-b to arsenal defender.

        1. FPL Daniel
          • 14 Years
          5 years, 4 months ago

          I plan to invest in my 12th player. Should pay off around Christmass with all this benching

      2. IAWC ( It's a Wonderfu…
        • 6 Years

        maybe 352 str change

  4. FPL Daniel

    • 12 Years
    5 years, 4 months ago

      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      1. Steinburg FC
        • 9 Years

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

      Not a good idea after mid-week games full stop I'm, but plenty of time to prove me wrong

    3. LǝgleSs e|even
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      Cmon, Sterlings first touch goal is ruining Kane's plight now? Great expectations
