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.

    Can't believe I ripped up my team for a WC full of rubbish players. Oh well!

    1. Modest Bob
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      I can.

  3. Monkey Hanger
    • 10 Years

    Milly goal.

    1. Mysterion
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      Without Zaha? 😮

  4. The Big Fella
    • 7 Years

    I wonder if Palace will look for a striker in January. They'd be stupid to get rid of Hodgson

  5. ZeBestee

    Happy when i saw Lamela in the lineup. Clearly their main obstacle.

    No goals isnt good for me this afternoon. I need goals everywhere.

    Kane would be a great replacement for Fernandinho at City when he finally retires 🙂

    1. fedolefan
      • 9 Years

      Phew, let it rest. I see we have abandoned the Laporte-Doherty narrative now that it completely showed you up.

        Jeez mum, you said you wouldn’t join FFS 🙂

    Nobody wants to pass to Kane. Idiot rose. God I hate Kane if he doesn't score today.

    1. Modest Bob
      • 5 Years

        • 6 Years
        5 years, 4 months ago

  13. Monkey Hanger

    Townsend assist.

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

    Townsend ticking over.

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

      He looked amazing pre-season and very nearly started with him. Glad I didn't... 😀

  15. Hybrid.power
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    5 years, 4 months ago

    Townsend assist

  16. Witty Pun: Not good at this…
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 4 months ago

    Palace can sod off

  17. BenDavies
    • 11 Years
    5 years, 4 months ago

    Kane playing the Pirlo role effectively

    1. Regin
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      Or the Eriksen role

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

        Or the Scholes role

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

    Kane is annoying captain. 2 blanks in a row!!!

    1. Salah’s Sonnet
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      Footy game is 90 mins

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

        Watching the game. No chance of explosion from him. I will be utterly happy with 9pts

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

    Wolves must be nailed on for a cleanie today finally ?

    1. Modest Bob
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      I have 3 defenders and a keeper.

    2. Modest Bob
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      But no wolves.

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

    Bissaka C?

    1. Mysterion
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      Ballsy captain away at Man City

  21. Waynoo
    • 10 Years
    5 years, 4 months ago

    Kane basically playing as a playmaker

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

      Needs Eriksen to do something

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

      Moura effect.

      But Kane is still getting in the box once the play has developed. It's not like he's staying deep, he only drops temporarily to link play.

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

        I don't want him to drop deep. I want him to fall asleep in the box !!!

  22. Digital-Real
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 4 months ago

    Who's getting rid of Kane if he blanks?

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

      Yeah I will probably.

    2. Lazaretti
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      Using wc and prob getting rid even if he scores

    3. Weasel Boy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      Kane to Kun/Auba maybe

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

      Yes

      1. Gerd Mueller’s thighs
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        5 years, 4 months ago

        Yes again....I should have never brought him back in after Cardiff blank earlier this year. Son and maybe Alli are the Spurs assets to own.

    5. THFC4LIFE
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      Depends how many minutes Kun plays in the cup

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

      Hope he scores as a farewell present

  23. Ziyech on the Bench
    • 6 Years
    5 years, 4 months ago

    why does pochettino never learn his lesson on these games??? Always drops points playing safe first half with rotation instead of killing games and then rotating like Pep does

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

      Only dropped points against Watford from non top-6 this season...

  24. Jimmy Boy
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 4 months ago

    Surely Poch brings on Son or Eriksen at half-time?

  25. Gruu
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 4 months ago

    Kane > Jorginho

  26. El Matador
    • 10 Years
    5 years, 4 months ago

    Why does this always happen with Kane and Spurs?

    1. Dynamic Duos
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      Because creator-in-chief is benched

    2. L'Aeroplanino
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      rotation

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

    Is anyone watching Wolves vs Bournemouth... how is Fraser playing? I'm only getting Spurs match in my region 🙁

  28. FER FUSCH AKE
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 4 months ago

    surely son and wilson to come in soon.

  29. glufs
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    5 years, 4 months ago

    I dont know what youre complaining about. Kane is playing very well as holding midfielder. He even goes forward sometimes.
