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.

    Rose needs to be subbed. Useless

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

      He doesn't care anymore

    2. Duffy Dunk
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      Let's hope this strengthens Davies' place.

  2. Witty Pun: Not good at this…

    Eriksen was an obvious HT sub, Poch had nothing to lose from doing it.

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

      Was hoping for this too

    I am an idiot. I sold Salah who is OOP for Kane who is POO.

  6. Kepa's at the wheel
    • 14 Years

    Does Kane get CS points? Baps for that block

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

    With AWB first sub this will probably be the first time in weeks that I haven’t needed my bench

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

    Danny Rose... Showboat

  9. Bucket Man
    • 5 Years

    Own Deulofeu for weeks, bench him this week and he scores 🙁

    1. cravencottage

      Most frustrating FPL player- loads of talent but erratic game time and scoring

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

    As a non-Kane owner, I hope Poch persists in starting Moura in easy games.

  11. cravencottage

    Kane has never scored against Burnley while Joe Hart has been between the sticks.

    Not once.

    Stupid managers didn't take that into account when choosing their captains for the week though did they? Casuals.

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

      Nice stat

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

      Kane once scored a hattie against Burnely

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

      Yeah, right. I was as good an option a Kane. Why did no one captain me?

  14. Unfathomable Ruination
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 4 months ago

    Do we blame Spurs or Burnley for this game being as dull as it is?

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

      Poch and that fraud Harold.

    3. Rainer
      • 7 Years

      Spurs. This is a Dyche wet dream.

  15. NABIL - FPL otai
    • 11 Years

    Why no show from Henn? Injured? Dropped? Damn

        Oh. Hard luck for me then. Thanks man

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

    There is anything not 1 hope. The referee has to somehow award Spurs a penalty.

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

      Only one hope

  17. DeathoftheParty
    • 7 Years

    I'm always scared of what Kane will do...but at the same time, I don't really want to bring him in instead of who I have. Just doesn't look like he will do what he has in the past few seasons consistently.
