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.

        I assumed rotation. Though the Tinkerman is hard to predict.

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

          but he wasn't on the bench even and was praised previously

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

    Realistically, how many on average of captain picks are blanks would you say? Must be 40-50%?

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

    Skipp CS banked.

  9. FDMS All Starz
    • 8 Years

    What is Kane doing

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

      blanking as our captain

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

      Trolling, once again.

    3. Ross From Friends
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      Ok but in all honesty look at that rain....unlucky

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

        not checking the forecast before picking your captain

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

          Everyone knows Kane acts on rattling fast ground.

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

    In the first 6-8 minutes wasn't looking good for Kane and people told us we are overreacting . He has 0 SoT

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

      That's because it was 6-8 minutes. So it was overreacting. Now it's much later in the game. How this helps clear things up.

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

      Yeah coz nothing can change in the next 85 minutes. Should just make games 10 minutes long.

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

        Six minutes would be better. It would also limit the matchday nonsense on here.

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

        When the game start you can easily get right sense, like with Sane earlier. Right at the beginning he was so lively

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

          ?

  11. Shatner's Bassoon
    • 5 Years
    5 years, 4 months ago

    Wonderful - made last minute decision to put Rich in over Kamara who starts & AWB who’s on for a CS + bonus.

    Dirge season for yr boi FPLGraham.

    1. Ghost Gooner
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      Benched AWB for Rich with 30min to go before deadline 😥

  12. Steinburg FC
    • 9 Years
    5 years, 4 months ago

    COME ON SNODDYYYY!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  13. SoShy
    • 8 Years
    5 years, 4 months ago

    Had Salah = top 10k
    Swapped for Kane = out of 10k

    And yet I'll captain Kane again.

  14. Ross From Friends
    • 5 Years
    5 years, 4 months ago

    TBH this rain is saving the Kane non cappers

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

      Also the wind, and the unicorns.

      1. Ross From Friends

  26. Dele
    • 7 Years

    My loyalty to Spurs will always make me captain Kane... but seriously

    WTF is going on!

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

      He’s a mid

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

      Can't expect hatricks every week

  27. Boo Ya Ka Sha
    • 9 Years
    5 years, 4 months ago

    Saw this coming from Burnley. Should've known better, but all the experts were talking up Kane, making it risky not to captain him. Then again we can thank Poch for starting Lamela, Son, and that youngster.

    1. Boo Ya Ka Sha

    Now that Wilson has come on, I need him to score as I have WB with 7 points sat first on my bench FML
