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.

    Lloris come on

    Is there any argument for keeping Son when he goes to Asian games? The most he misses is three games if they make the final and should return for LEI (H) and BUR (A). If not sooner for NEW (H)....

      So many will get rid though so price drops inevitable.

      Yeah there’s always an argument if you won’t lose cash on it. Then again if keeping it doesn’t really matter long term.

      Part of me thinks I’ve wasted so many transfers on Richarlison and TAA when I could have held them.

      I'm getting rid

    4. Hotdogs for Tea

      He is not going to the Asian Games 🙂

    5. BIG TONES

      Nah, easy move to Pogba

    6. F_Ivanovic

      They're one of the favourites to make it through to the final and win it so decent chance he misses all 3. Also, 8.8m is a lot of money to be sat on your bench for 3 games. It's different when it's a defender (TAA) when you have 2 cheap covers for him.

      Yup depends on team structure I think, I had a strong bench for christmas so have the option now of playing Jiménez instead of Son, and stash him on the bench until he gets back. That being said, if you are relying on someone like Camarasa/Kamara while he is away it is probably just better to get a replacement.

  3. Alli 3',17',64�…

    Kane should have a rest I think

    1. Jealous Viper
      • 5 Years

      Can have the full game off this weekend

  4. SirStevieG

    They removed the Son assist and gave it to Sane.

      I had Sane captain that week. Would have made quite a big difference including bonus. Hope that’s reflected in my extra points 😉

  5. french holiday

    that paterson guy should score

  6. FPL Blow-In

    Is Fomez going to replace Lovren when he is back again?

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

      Yes

    2. Hotdogs for Tea
      • 8 Years

      Fomez ?

  7. Chenku╰☆╮

    Didnt i tell you. no more goals. everyone gone back to sleeping mode.

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

      You said after his goal Kane would get no more points.

      He then got an assist and should get an extra point for 60 mins and then BAPS.

      A huge lie.

    2. Jealous Viper
      • 5 Years

      I can feel your desperation

  8. Monkey Hanger

  13. La Roja

    Son is faking injury to avoid Asia Cup

  14. Rash
    • 6 Years
    5 years, 4 months ago

    Son faking injury not to go Asian games?

  15. The Polymath

    Spurs are playing like they all captained Hazard in their FPL teams.

    😀

  16. Gobigorgohome

      Son or Salah??

      1. Ribus
        • 10 Years

        Sal

      2. Gobigorgohome

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

        Can get Salah for free or keep Son

      5. g40steve
        • 6 Years

        Both

    3. Homer21

      5 more mins and he can take off who ever he wants

      1. GOTHAM City F.C.
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member

        Lloris

    4. Gobigorgohome
      • 12 Years

      Kane getting angry

      1. WVA
        • 7 Years

        He loves a yellow

      2. Business Cat

        Just barged Eriksen over chasing the ball :-O

    5. Zilla

      greedy kane

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

      I dont see the point of Son goibg to the Asian Cup. He already lifted his military punishment and playing 3 tournaments (WC Asian game Asian Cup) back to back seems unfair for Spurs.

      1. GOTHAM City F.C.
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 4 months ago

        His avoiding military 'punishment' was for spurs benefit...

      2. Hazz
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 6 Years
        5 years, 4 months ago

        Maybe he likes playing for South Korea?

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

        spurs are being kind.

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

          Poch is being too kind

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

        Maybe he’s proud of his country ? Crazy I know.

      5. Hotdogs for Tea
        • 8 Years
        5 years, 4 months ago

        He wasn’t born in Spurs though

      6. The Polymath
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        5 years, 4 months ago

        South Korea v Spurs?

        Who is more important?

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

          Spurs. You get paid millions and the best state of the art facilities in the Tottenham center.

      7. Zladan

        5 years, 4 months ago

        South Koreans are generally very proud people. At the World Cup I was chatting to a fair few South Koreans, and they all said the same thing about Son and possible compulsory military action: If he didn't earn his exemption, he would have to serve his country or be disowned. I'm very surprised he hasn't already gone.

        They take playing for their country a whole lot more seriously than English players.

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

          What do u mean disowned? Meaning his citizenship being terminated?

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

      Spurs lose after getting complacent against Wolves, and here they are getting complacent again. You'd never see this from City. They'd just be going for 7-8 goals.

      1. diesel001

        Exactly

      If Spurs added some depth to their squad, they could be contenders.
