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.

Crystal Palace XI: Guaita; Wan-Bissaka, Kelly, Sakho, van Aanholt; McArthur, Kouyaté, Milivojevic, Meyer; Townsend, Ayew.

    Kane Laca Salah Aguero Aguero my last 5 weeks captain choices FML nothing from them

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

      you captained Aguero last two gameweeks?

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

        I think the other way round

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

        Surely you can see it's working back from this week lol

  3. Woy_is_back

    Wake up Kane 🙁

  4. Top Lad Dakes.

  5. Dybala10
    • 6 Years

    Townsend or Schürrle?

  6. Garlana
    • 9 Years
    5 years, 4 months ago

    Son to come on and save the day?

  7. Crouching Tiger
    • 11 Years
    5 years, 4 months ago

    I think Kane is too expensive for his returns at the moment. Looking Aguero situation closely...

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

      Me too. Want to get Aguero back. Jesus scoring twice didn't help though.

    2. Podge
      • 13 Years

      Stat padding with penos his whole career

  8. BenDavies
    • 11 Years

    Remember when Kane captainers were laughing at Sterling captainers earlier this morning?

    Aaah, love the karma.

    1. Crouching Tiger
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      Could be a bit too early for that...

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

      45 minutes left. He will get a brace.

    3. mikess

      This and I'm a Kane captainer. This place is toxic on a matchday

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

      Pointless post at this point, Kane could easily outscore sterling from here on. Im Sterling owner and I don't have kane for the record.

        2. Deulofail
          • 8 Years

          Possibly. We all know Kane likes dogs

          😮

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

    Reminder to Kane cappers that most goals are scored in the second half, and that Spurs will be coming into the second half energized and ready to break the bus down.

    One name i never see mentioned and who is doing well is doucoure

      3. Business Cat
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years

        I wish we could just Skipp to the part where Kane polishes off his hattrick

    3. yakirh

    5. SEXY SOLO SAUCE
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      Imagine betting with someone Kane blanking at home against both Cardiff and Burnley. They'd laugh and bite your hand off

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

        Depends on the odds

        I have baked beans but not a loaf of bread.

        Is it cool to put beans on a bagel ?

        1. tisza

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

          It's all going in and out the same holes so it doesn't really matter.

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

            Adding an extra hole

        3. Now I'm Panicking
          • 9 Years

            • 11 Years
            5 years, 4 months ago

            God I didn’t even think about this. Stress levels rising

        4. The Mighty Hippo
          • 7 Years
          5 years, 4 months ago

          What flavour of bagel?

          1. Richd
            • 11 Years

              • 7 Years

          Omg ok try this ... toasted bagel mayo and then add those bbq chicken slices you get in tescos .. thank me later all

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

            I've never tried toasted bagel flavoured mayonnaise. Need to get out more

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

              Import from China

      7. Make Arrows Green Again
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 4 months ago

        No point calling for Son (pace and dribbling) against a packed defence. You need Eriksen first or at least simultaneously.

        It's not "him good player him win goals".

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

          Are you quoting me again?

        2. Now I'm Panicking
          • 9 Years
          5 years, 4 months ago

          Son owners rather than Spurs fans on here

      8. tiger
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        5 years, 4 months ago

        I reckon it will take the appearance of Eriksen for Spurs to do something in this game

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

          Or Son

          1. tiger
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 12 Years
            5 years, 4 months ago

            Probably both, but I think Eriksen could be the key

            • 11 Years
            5 years, 4 months ago

            Should be when you can get points so cheap

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

              That too week-in-week-out.

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

        Kane doesn't score when Davies plays CB.
