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.

    Eriksen should come on later but Sissoko in the pivot hurts a lot

    Spurs starting to turn the corkscrew. Be surprised if they didn't score.

      Just stopped turning it now 🙁

    After a 95 point week, this week is going to be poor i think.

    Kane about to score his first

    1. Pieterke30
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years

      Kane will not score today

  5. Sim Simma

    This is the Burnley of old

    Doucoure flying under the radar as far as expected goal involvement and value

    1. Danno - Emre Canada
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      If he scores today, will be 3 in 3, sensible

    Holy FPL Gods! In the name of Fortune we pray...

    SO Grateful am I, for the Sterling(c)Salvation-Score; and that thee hath rewarded my faith in your Childern of Tottenham:
    —Dele ‘of the Devine’ Alli, and the Patron Saint of Tripper!!

    Humbly, I ask of u to acceptith this ‘Wilson-Sacrifice’ in thy honor!
    and on this holy day, you findith in your mercy to bestow upon these, ‘Sons of Spurs’; a Magnificent Bounty Of Thy POINTS!!

    In the name of Fantasy we pray, and are forever in awe of your power.
    Amen

    Kane completely out of sorts. Rainy weather. Miserable. Perfect conditions for a blank.

    1. JamieC180
      • 5 Years

      Presumably you are trolling.

      Although now that I think about it it's predicted that there's going to be a strong headwind and above average moisture-levels in the air in Southampton tomorrow, so an Auba blank is a banker.

      Two words: Lucas Moura.

  9. Differentiator

    Fraser goal would be lovely jubbly

    Not gambling on that Rose cross... Come on Harry.

  11. yakirh

    Bring Son and Eriksen on!

  12. Regin

    Why does idiot poch keep on rotating all the time? Spurs and Kane horrible.

    1. LǝgleSs e|even
      • 8 Years

      Trynna emulate Pep

    2. Guru Mediation

      Why do idiots like you keep talking sh1te on this forum?

  13. el polako

    Kane you lisping, sluggish muppet please dont troll me again today !

  14. LǝgleSs e|even

    The comments about Kane here is rather shocking.. Patience?

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

      Wrong site if you're looking for patience 😀

    2. Norfolk&Chance

      Are you watching the game?

    3. el polako
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      He's got history of blanking at Wembley in "easy"games, this combined with Spurs performance in first 30 minutes - no wonder people are worried.

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

    Should have captained Jesus, Sane or Jim over Kane.... Sigh 🙁

  16. Unfathomable Ruination
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    Sissoko perennially too unselfish for his own good ... will pass over shoot every time!

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

      It's not being unselfish, it's having no confidence. He regularly messes up the final pass or shot because he panics. Ozil is unselfish, David Silva is unslfish, Sissoko is not.

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

    Lamela misses a sitter. Sisoko potential assist

  18. Numb
    • 9 Years
    5 years, 4 months ago

    Kane revelling in the quarterback role

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

      he is so deep. Mark was right

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

    Sisssoko noooobbb

  20. Digital-Real
    • 7 Years

    If kane blanks, he's gone from my team by the end of today

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

      Same to be fair, got no time for expensive underperforming attackers this season.

    2. Guru Mediation
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      Making bad decisions on top of bad decisions. Cool bro

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

    Come on Burnley score!!!

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

    Spurs players in and around Jack cork apparently

    Disgusting

    1. Point-one short
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      Would have been worse if he didn't have that cork.

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

    Imagine if there was still an hour left for Kane to score.

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

      Do you watch the game?

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

        Says about an hour left on my screen.

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

      You think he will play the next hour ? Going to be hooked on 62 mins

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

    Kane in the double pivot ?

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

      around half center circle all the tme 🙁

  25. IAWC ( It's a Wonderfu…
    • 6 Years
    5 years, 4 months ago

    Had a bad feeling about Kane.Just capped him due to Burnley and ownership.Wouldbe fuming if he blanked

  26. Pukki Party

    5 years, 4 months ago

    Have you ever seen a coach with an umbrella during a game in rainy weather?

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

      yes in Italy. Umbrellas have fashion touch too

      1. Pukki Party
        • 6 Years
        5 years, 4 months ago

        They are useful too, you wouldn't get wet.

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

      Classic Steve McClaren.

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

      Might piss his players off a bit

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

      Yes.

    5. DLL18
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      Seems to be taboo now since Steve McLaren got slaughtered for it.

      1. Pukki Party
        • 6 Years
        5 years, 4 months ago

        Cheers, was not aware of this.

      1. Pukki Party
        • 6 Years
        5 years, 4 months ago

        Nice!

      1. Numb
