Spurs big hitters all make starting line-up at Cardiff

All four of Tottenham’s big hitters have made the starting line-up as they prepare to take on Cardiff City in south Wales.

Harry Kane (£12.6m) leads the line supported by Son Heung-min (£8.8m), Christian Eriksen (£9.3m) and Dele Alli (£8.9m) in midfield.

Harry Winks (£5.5m) and Moussa Sissoko (£4.9m) get the nod in the holding roles, protecting a back-four which features Kieran Trippier (£6.1m) and Danny Rose (£5.8m) either side of Toby Alderweireld (£6.0m) and Davinson Sánchez (£5.8m).

Ben Davies (£5.6m), Juan Foyth (£5.0m) and Lucas Moura (£6.9m) are among the key names on the bench.

Callum Paterson (£5.1m) leads the Cardiff line once again, as Neil Warnock goes for a 4-2-3-1 formation.

Victor Camarasa (£4.6m), now the top-scoring Bluebirds midfielder, is stationed in the number 10 role today with Josh Murphy (£4.8m) and Bobby Reid (£5.2m) operating in the wide areas of attacking midfield.

Cardiff XI: Etheridge, Manga, Morrison, Bamba, Cunningham, Gunnarsson, Murphy, Arter, Camarasa, Reid, Paterson.

Tottenham XI: Lloris; Rose, Sanchez, Alderweireld, Trippier; Winks, Sissoko; Eriksen, Alli, Son; Kane.

    Everton are pathetic.

    1. LarryDuff
      • 8 Years

      Silva in charge, starts season well, turns to shite, fired

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

    What to do with Richarlison?

    1. S.Kuqi
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      Keep

    2. Lemongrab
      • 14 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      Holding with those fixtures. If he blanks against BOU and sou then it might be time to jettison

    3. Ziyech on the Bench
      • 6 Years

      Bournemoth next - goals galore game

    4. Netters2018

    6. MTPockets
        5 years, 4 months ago

        Dropping in price tonight - suggests many selling

      • yakirh
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 4 months ago

        Keep for now, didn't expect this match to be high scoring, BOU will be another story, and Everton will be fresh and in need of a big win.

    7. diesel001

      I captained Kane to see all the Kane captainers feel a blank. Could have captained Haz or Auba, but felt bad for owners following their lack of points last GW.

    8. The Red Devil
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      Auba+Kola owner with Hazard (C)
      gotta be happy right? could've done without the goal, but still seems a green arrow atleast for tonight.

      1. Ziyech on the Bench
        • 6 Years
        5 years, 4 months ago

        I hope ur joking of course thats good

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

        Obviously

      3. Bullet Eder
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years

        No you should be unhappy mate, two blanks would have been better

      4. SirStevieG
        • 11 Years
        5 years, 4 months ago

        Weird comment.

    9. Ziyech on the Bench
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      Hopefully those are not final baps for arsenal’s game? How is Iwobi up there with just an assist...

      1. FPL_Hazards
        • 11 Years
        5 years, 4 months ago

        he was awful all game too

        1. The Big Fella
          • 7 Years
          5 years, 4 months ago

          Didn't watch the match but the BBC said it was all going through him. As an Auba owner I would prefer him to get something but whatever

    10. CAPTAIN CRESPO
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      Any chance Doherty or TAA don't start? I have Pereira waiting to jump off my bench.

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

        Low chance- very likely to play

    11. LIARS POKER
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      Worth losing one of Kane, Auba or Salah to get Hazard in? Feel like I should just stick with what I have as they are all getting returns but Hazard is tempting.

    12. KUNingas
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      Pereira and Kamara last on my bench 🙁

      1. Lemongrab
        • 14 Years
        5 years, 4 months ago

        Right there with you :/

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

          In fact swapped Pereira out minute before deadline..

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

      Kane and Son to go crazy. I'm feeling 21 pointer type crazy

    14. TRIPOS TOPPER
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      teams who already have Salah, Kane and Auba - are you holding Auba for Hammers away? I think I will hold

      1. CRO KLOPP
        • 6 Years
        5 years, 4 months ago

        You have Salah,why would you sell Auba?

      2. Gringo Kid
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 5 Years
        5 years, 4 months ago

        He is a season keeper, if you sell him now will be hard to add him back

      3. Brehmeren
        • 13 Years
        5 years, 4 months ago

        Why would you sell?

        1. TRIPOS TOPPER
          • 6 Years
          5 years, 4 months ago

          to get Hazard in

    15. jblakes
      • 5 Years

      do you lose your ft if you wildcard?

      1. Numb

      2. TRIPOS TOPPER
        • 6 Years

      Sometimes you just gotta laugh 😀

      Started Kamara(HUD) over Jimenez(tot) last gw. Kamara misses pen and Jimenez scores.

      Started Jimenez(CPL) over Kamara(ars). Kamara scores a goal and now Jimenez will f()ckeng blank right? You just know it

      you gotta be kidding me.............last week bench jiminez over kamara......this week the opposite
      why have you foresaken me fpl gods
      ffs arghhhh 😥

      1. De Gea Van Dijk. 10
        • 5 Years

        Benched also.

    19. Saïss Doesn't Mat…
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      Kolasinac would be an absolute legend but these arsenal peeps can't keep a goddam clean sheet!!

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

        He's often the cause being so far advanced to be fair.

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

        Partly his fault tbf

      3. Alli 3',17',64�…
        • 5 Years
        5 years, 4 months ago

        the problen or the biggest problem is the useless midfield which means Kola has to come so far forward. That said he is not a good defender and if they sort that issue and he no longer rampaging forward then their defence is still trash

        1. Where has all the rum gone?
          • 5 Years
          5 years, 4 months ago

          Thier midfield is useless.

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

        Just watch the match & you'll know why. For a 'big' team it's a shame they can't pass properly

    20. Ha.
      • 8 Years

      Rich losing me muneee

      1. Zladan

    21. Smurf
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      I’ve got a bad feeling I’ve made a mistake not captaining Kane and believe this could finally be his hat trick game.

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

        Does he start?

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

          Ah yes. This is the new article 🙂

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

        Could be .Lineup looks lit.Nothing much can be done now

      3. SEXY SON
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 4 months ago

        At least you own him, most have Auba

      4. Mortal.Swinbat
        • 13 Years
        5 years, 4 months ago

        I didn't think he would be the mos captained this week....hopefully a lot of the dead teams

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

      Any chance kola gets 3 baps?

    23. Modest Bob
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      Auba owners are the shrewdies.

      1. CRO KLOPP
        • 6 Years
        5 years, 4 months ago

        Auba moaners

      2. MrZ
        • 9 Years
        5 years, 4 months ago

        & you just a foolish newbie

      3. De Gea Van Dijk. 10
        • 5 Years
        5 years, 4 months ago

        Never in doubt.

    24. De Gea Van Dijk. 10
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      Rotation, what rotation.

      All them half time naysayers.

      Lol.

      1. yakirh
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 4 months ago

        So true
        Rotation fears were way off this Christmas

    25. Sz21
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      Auba/ Kane owners looking to get Salah in next GW.
      Who from these should we remove?

      Thinking Kane.

      1. CRO KLOPP
        • 6 Years
        5 years, 4 months ago

        Beacuse he's more expensive?

        1. Sz21
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 12 Years
          5 years, 4 months ago

          Cos he plays too deep.

          It was worse when Son missed the early part of the season and Moura was playing so not sure it hurts betters anytime soon +

          Auba is on fire.. again!
          A Kane haul will make things interesting tho.

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

        Auba

      3. RashFraud
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 4 months ago

        I’m dumping auba. Keeping Kane cuz he has better fixtures

      4. notlob legin
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 4 months ago

        I'm doing Auba to Firminio and Son to Salah = have to do it tonight though due to rises

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

      I’ll never understand FPL assist rules. They seem to make it up as they go along.

      1. De Gea Van Dijk. 10
        • 5 Years
        5 years, 4 months ago

        What happened this week.

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

          Auba given an assist which appeared to come off the defender

          1. De Gea Van Dijk. 10
            • 5 Years
            5 years, 4 months ago

            Assist confirmed.

      2. diesel001
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 4 months ago

        Make clear that if an opposition player or the post/bar touch the ball before the goal is scored by the goalscorer then no assist. Would reduce the overall number of assists, but it is very easy to adjudicate.

    27. Game&Watch
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      Digne > TAA for free decent move?

      1. MTPockets
          5 years, 4 months ago

          Probably. One's a defender for Everton, the other for Liverpool and cheaper
          Everton do have good fixtures though and Digne has nice stats, in principle

          1. Game&Watch
            • 5 Years
            5 years, 4 months ago

            Agreed, Just seems more secure with Pool defender, allthough Digne ceiling is high

      2. SEXY SON
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 4 months ago

        If Auba gets a second goal at the end would he have got 3 bonus?

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

          Yes obviously

          1. SEXY SON
            • 7 Years
            5 years, 4 months ago

            You sure? He's like 10 behind Xhaka and Kola even before deductions

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

              You get like 26bps for a goal as a forward dont you?

              1. SEXY SON
                • 7 Years
                5 years, 4 months ago

                Ah yes it's 24. Thought it must be a lot less seeing as his total is 27 before deductions but that amount seemingly includes a goal and an assist.

        2. Smurf
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 14 Years
          5 years, 4 months ago

          Does it matter?

          1. SEXY SON
            • 7 Years
            5 years, 4 months ago

            Weighing up the move to Kun, Trying to give Auba benefit of the doubt lol

        3. boc610
          • 12 Years
          5 years, 4 months ago

          If 6 was 9

            • 7 Years
            5 years, 4 months ago

            Turned phone upside down and I'm now convinced

      3. Nightf0x
        • 8 Years
        5 years, 4 months ago

        Whom should i take out to get salah? Kane or auba, (if kane will get moura gw after the next as a spurs cover)

      4. french holiday
        • 6 Years
        5 years, 4 months ago

        Auba has set his sights set on the Golden Boot this season.

      5. The Red Devil
        • 9 Years
        5 years, 4 months ago

        This is supposed to be Auba & Son's farewell games in my side, feels weird to sell the golden boot leader

        1. SEXY SON
          • 7 Years
          5 years, 4 months ago

          For Kun?

          1. The Red Devil
            • 9 Years
            5 years, 4 months ago

            no, looking at salah & mitrovic/arnie or maybe rashford

            1. SEXY SON
              • 7 Years
              5 years, 4 months ago

              Ah I see

              1. The Red Devil
                • 9 Years
                5 years, 4 months ago

                what do you think? pull the trigger?

      6. SEXY SON
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 4 months ago

        Peltier rested again then

        1. SADIO SANÉ
          • 8 Years
          5 years, 4 months ago

          yeah he seems to get rested an awful lot for a starter
