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 (and fpl managers) learnt nothing from the same game last year when Burnley packed the box.
    Struggled to break them down in last third.

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

      managers also refuse to acknowledge Spurs form in games that follow mid week matches. It's really poor.

      Not over yet, but a low scoring game would for with the historical pattern

      1. GREEN IS GOOD
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 4 months ago

        Blah blah blah

        45 minutes to go

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

      Difference is this year burnley- have been rubbish. But all of a sudden they are playing defence like last year.

  10. Fpl Old Guard
    • 12 Years
    5 years, 4 months ago

    Kane exceeding in the Makelele role today!

  11. Andy'81

    5 years, 4 months ago

    Can't fault the work rate in the Hudd - NUFC game, theirs been zero quality in that first half though unfortunately.

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

      HUD expert at dragging all teams down to their own awful level. They must be wondering what to do with Newcastle

  12. Monkey Hanger
    • 10 Years
    5 years, 4 months ago

    Newcastle been playing nine at the back, against Uddersfield. 🙂

  13. el polako
    • 6 Years

    I should have learnt my lesson last season, such an idiot.

  14. Hybrid.power
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    So many cheap defenders on for clean sheets.

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

    Good thing for Kane owners is that at least he won’t get subbed for a rest while it’s 0-0

  16. El-Kloppico
    • 8 Years
    5 years, 4 months ago

    Com'on Eriksen..
    Do me a Sterling plz.. 1 touch.. 1 goal.. n take a rest on the pitch.

    Hey guy's
    Anyone watched City-Everton match can tell me who looked better Siggy or Richa ??
    Digne??
    Currently have Siggy so thinking about possible transfers.
    Thank you !

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

      Richa & Digne looked good imo

      1. Bubz
        • 10 Years
        5 years, 4 months ago

        Rich was terrible

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

      Digne the only one worth looking at tbh.

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

        Cheer's mate

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

      Richa & Digne looked good. Richa had some good chances but didn’t score

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

        Thank you

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

      Digne and Richarlison are the players you need.

      How they looked against City is irrelevant as you want them to do better against the bottom and mid-table teams.

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

        Yeah.
        Digne has insane stats too.
        Cheer's Demi

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

      U can't judge siggy today as he was playing double pivot but richa digne looked good.Richa not clinical tho

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

        Have siggy.
        Definitely getting Digne in near future.
        Cheer's mate

    6. Amey
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      Thanks alot guys !
      Digne+Richa is the way to go then.
      Cheer's

    Looking forward to another Kamara autosub goal if Son gets no mins.

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

      Can’t see Son not coming on though

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

        The stars will align for those Kamara points!

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

    Should have gone for Auba instead of Kane. What a waste

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

    If Kane blanks today I'm only capping midfielders from now on. However there is still 45 minutes left so let's see what happens, it's not a fail yet.

  25. Tornado

    Anyone doing hazza to kdb next week?

    1. GE
      • 7 Years

      Nope

    2. Dannyb
      • 7 Years

      Not this soon.

    3. El-Kloppico
      • 8 Years

      You must be kidding.. ppl want hzz in their team atm

    4. mir
      • 14 Years

      I want to get hazard in my team. He's the one i fear

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

      Lolll

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

    Vert -> Trippier?

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

    Deulofeu goal is top quality.

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

      It was an accident

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

      I'm a big fan of his. Needs to get stronger and fitter to start consistently, but if he does that he could be a huge bandwagon of Mahrez(@5.5) proportions.

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

    Spurs aren't playing that badly, it's just tough for them to break down Burnley. 8 shots so far.

    But to break down a deep bus consistently you need a special player, and that someone isn't playing. Eriksen is so important to Spurs...

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

      This. Spurs do struggle to break down packed defences. Moura isn't a player to do it needs space. And you have to dump Kane in the middle of the 6yd box not where he's trying to play from.
      This has the feel of that West ham game last year when a lot of people had TC kane

    2. Chenku╰☆╮
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      Porch is a bad manager.. he doesn’t realise to break in a packed defender you need son and Eriksen.. Moura is a useless player.. good from bench but that’s it

  29. mikess

    Kane's doing better than Sterling was at half time

  30. Bartowski

    Half time lull so if anyone hasn't seen it there's a free version of PES that's just been released. Pretty, pretty good.

      on what platform?

      1. Bartowski

        I think PS4, Xbox one and Steam.
