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.

    Spurs are pretty disjointed so far.

    They need Eriksen on IMO.

    Are Kane actually creating any changes?
    Doesn't sound like it.

    1. Weasel Boy

      Chances **

      What a terribly worded question.
      Bloody phone

        😀

        "Is Kane creating chances?" Not directly, but his passing is developing the play well. He's only deep at the start of the build-up, he then moves into the box. So he'll likely be assisting the assister.

        Phone? You can't weasel outta this one, weasel boy!

      Always knew Kane was a team.

    4. The Tinkerman

      Kane has been the most advanced Spurs player for 90% of the game.

      He has dropped deep on a few occasions and generally been pretty effective a linking play and picking out Alli, shame the rest of the team can’t do the same. Pretty disjointed overall from Spurs

    Eriksen 25-30 mins = Kane goals

    Those who dodged Kane really do know!

    1. Richd
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      I dodged for Cardiff. Got him for this stretch and it feels good.

      Patient grasshoppers

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

      I brought him in before Chelsea so he's at least performed OK for me.

    “Sissoko....and the move breaks down...”

    Anyone who thinks Son will get a look in before Eriksen is deluded IMO 🙂

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

      Is delusion bad these days? smh PC bollox

  7. DeathoftheParty

    Alli is an angry young man.

  8. Richd
    • 11 Years

    People moaning about Kane, sell him.

      100%

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

      Playing deeper thabnEriksen would. Spurs are slow and lacking ideas.

      Kane ultimate fpl troll

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

    Kane awful. Big captain fail.

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

    Captained Kane at home to cardiff- blanked.
    Captained donkey Kane again at home to burnley- blanks again.

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

      Same here. Worst troll of the season ! Staying far away

    2. GREEN IS GOOD
      • 7 Years

      45 minutes left

  13. Live Lad
    • 9 Years
    5 years, 4 months ago

    Rage transfer.
    Kane + Murphy + TAA to Rashford + Sterling + Fermina (-8)?

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

      Oh dear......

    2. Gudjohnsen
      • 7 Years

      Hahahahahahah

  14. Gobigorgohome
    • 12 Years
    5 years, 4 months ago

    Burnley should have scored there

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

      Absolute sitter

  15. Botman and Robben
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 4 months ago

    Why did Son and Eriksen sit out yet they are desperately needed?

    1. Richd
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      Eriksen has a chronic stomach issue. How many more times

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

        I think just one long issue

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

      Because apparently the Carabao Cup is more important to Pochettino than the top four.

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

        lol dunno if this is tongue in cheek but he can't win can he... he's had complaints in the past about not caring about the cups.

  16. Yank Revolution
    • 12 Years
    5 years, 4 months ago

    There we go Arry, have a poke!

  17. bialk
    • 14 Years
    5 years, 4 months ago

    Kane shot saved

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

      Which goal?

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

    Should have captained Lloris instead of kane. Missed sure 12 pointer as Lloris captain.

  19. Niho992
    • 5 Years
    5 years, 4 months ago

    Poche is fraud
    Kane is fraud

    I should C Wan Bissaka and put Kane on the third spot on the bench.

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

    Do people seriously rage transfer ?

    1. Yank Revolution
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      Here's hoping they do

    2. Podge
      • 13 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      Oh yes

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

      The clueless ones yes

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

        Point proven below.

    4. Kabayan
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      Kane to Calvert-Lewin (-4)?

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

      I will, too expensive to not be a captain material.

      Going to get Kun or Auba, burned by this lisping muppet too many times in the past.

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

      It's so dumb. You'd think that people on here would know better. I rage transfer'd out Mitro on a Monday night earlier in the season but that was obv fine as all games had been played and I wanted Arnie before he rised/Mitro dropped again.

  21. internal error
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years

    Ive just rage transferred

    1. Sim Simma
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      pull the other one

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

    Eriksen was the backbone of Spurs, without him they look like sh*t...

    1. Darth Vardez
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      Don’t forget son. He makes a huge differenxe

  23. Planet Head
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 4 months ago

    Ban voyage

  24. Adriano
    • 11 Years
    5 years, 4 months ago

    Kane essentially playing Eriksen's role

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

      Bit deeper.

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

      More like Eric dier.

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

    Well done kane captainers.

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

      Apologies i thought he had an assist.

    2. Peter Ouch
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      wait its too early

  26. HD7
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 4 months ago

    Are there people who have Kane but Captained someone else? Now this is brave whatever happens.
    Those who didnt get him because of not enough money or too many hits...dont get too arrogant...you know you would have Captained him as most people if you had him in yor team 🙂

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

      🙂

    2. Adriano
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      I WCed last week and I didn't even consider getting Kane. He's an effective system player but I don't trust Spurs as a team.

  27. SirStevieG
    • 11 Years
    5 years, 4 months ago

    Well that was rubbish. Lift your game Spurs and Kane.

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

    Take Kane off ... too cold and wet for him 😉

  29. Rainer
    • 7 Years

    Jota off
    Costa on

    1. Sim Simma
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      Injury ?

  30. Fin
    • 11 Years
    5 years, 4 months ago

    Commentator just called Sissoko a 'creative midfielder'

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

      Most entertaining thing in first half

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

      Must have been American?

      1. Yank Revolution
        • 12 Years
        5 years, 4 months ago

        Screw off, ignoramus. Literally only one American on Prem coverage here, and he's in the studio (and a well-spoken, intelligent former international player to boot).

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

      Was he not referring to Kane?

    4. My Name Is Pepu
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      May be in comparison to those headless chickens, Lucas and Lamela.
