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.

    Kane back on corners today as well?

    If 0-0 through the 2nd half, Son is likely to come in, no?

    1. Hooky

      Son and Eriksen on at 60 mins

    Kane's vision and passing is quality. You can tell he used to be a holding midfielder.

      New Yaya

      Great LWB performance from him in this game

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

      I thought he was a GK when he was younger?

      1. Piggs Boson
        • 12 Years
        5 years, 4 months ago

        Don't think he has professionally, maybe he's filled in there once or twice.

        "He first played at Tottenham as a midfielder – initially in a holding position, then as an attacking midfielder"

          I think he was a keeper in the U11's 😆

    4. Mysterion
      • 6 Years

      He's a natural dribbler

        Yeah, bad landing, sore back.

    2. Hooky

      Mings not so merciless

  8. FPL Daniel

    Kane sending inbound pass to Ali. Ali the striker, Kane in the Eriksen role

    1. The Tinkerman
      • 8 Years

      Kane has been on the shoulder of the last defender for pretty much the entire game...

      Still not sure why there is an obsession about him occasionally dropping in to retain the ball. He is still the most advanced player across a game whenever I’ve seen him. The switch with Alli often works quite nicely.

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

        Disagree mate. And I love you name and grav

  9. Vlad Tepes

    Spurs playing so bad right now, slow, bad touches, sloppy passes. This will be a 0-0 game and a blank from Kane

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

    Remember, people were lolling at Sterling owners earlier...

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

      Is that the 6 point no bonus Sterling owners ? Expect better really imho

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

        Still not bad

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

    This Spurs game is perfectly poised for a Son 60 min introduction and bang, 2 goals to nil.

    1. EgyptianKing
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      Hope so!!

  12. BenDavies

    Awful display by Spurs. Kane off at 60 for Son

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

      No chance Kane goes off unless they’re winning

  16. DeathoftheParty
    • 7 Years

    That pitch is absolutely dreadful...

  17. Niho992
    • 5 Years

    So much cash for holding midfielder

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

    When Kane plays in this position I worry that Poch is not as good a coach as everyone thinks.

    1. Ziyech on the Bench

      Pochettihnho is over rated af

  25. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
    • 14 Years

  26. The Train Driver
    • 8 Years
    5 years, 4 months ago

    Kane would have been a nice (C) pick if he didn't have really sh*ty teammates...

  27. KGFC
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 4 months ago

    Kane should be reclassified as a MID... shocking he is playing on the left or deep otherwise!

  28. CloudSky
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 4 months ago

    There were 4 Spurs players closer to the goal than Harry on a counter right now.

  29. Tev
