Eriksen is the only player in the squad who has vision, awareness and real passing ability. For that reason he should always start. He has always had problems with consistency though but as has been said, he's only 21.
One thing he does need though is to toughen up a bit. He gets brushed off the ball far too easily. Modric is a great example of a slight player who could still mix it with stronger players. I think this is a mindset though, as he was brought up in a more physical croatian league rather than the dutch league, which is a bit airy fairy.
