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.

    Poch always leaves subs so late, like Kane off at 55mins ffs why keep him on all this time.

  4. Canary_Kid

    Holebas Digne or Doherty to TAA?

    1. Dannyb
      • 7 Years

      Holebas out of those.

    2. ZeBestee

      Doh TAA

    boring match.

  6. Jon Snow

    My dad and I are having a heated discussion. Ignoring trophies etc who is the better defender VVD or Terry?

    1. Amey
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      Vvd

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

        VVD

    2. BooYaKasha
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      Terry by a mile

      1. *Reformed-Character*
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 6 Years
        5 years, 4 months ago

        Behave yourself

    3. FPL Blow-In
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      VVD

      1. FPL Blow-In
        • 11 Years
        5 years, 4 months ago

        Purely on capabilities as a player. Terry as a leader was better but Van Dijk has time to grow into that.

        1. BooYaKasha
          • 12 Years
          5 years, 4 months ago

          This

    4. WVA

    5. Jealous Viper

      Terry. You can't ignore tons of trophies. Sorry

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

        Of course you can, football is a team game and this is an individual comparison

    6. BIGREDDOG
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      Very tough but Terry. Judge VVD at the end of his career

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

      Terry coz ypu can't ignore trophies.

    8. *Reformed-Character*
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      VVD

    9. Patch

      You know nothing Jon Snow

    10. derdourily

      VVD

    11. TorresMagic™

      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 14 Years

      Lovren makes VVD look good.

    12. SUPERMAN
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      Not seen enough of VVD. I’d say Terry

    13. Dannyb
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      Way too soon to compare surely.

    14. MTPockets

        Terry

      • The Enlightener

        JT

      • The Mighty Hippo
        • 7 Years

        Best defender: VVD

            agree

      • Zladan
        • 6 Years
        5 years, 4 months ago

        Terry unquestionably.

      • Brosstan
        • 9 Years
        5 years, 4 months ago

        Terry. Leadership factor and VVD hasnt won anything yet.

        1. YEAH PITCH!
          • 5 Years
          5 years, 4 months ago

          Terry.

      • banskt
        • 10 Years
        5 years, 4 months ago

        Terry. On account of consistency over a decade.

        1. Here's Tom with the We…
          • 12 Years
          5 years, 4 months ago

          Terry by a country mile.

      • Business Cat
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        5 years, 4 months ago

        Why are you arguing about defenders with Rhaegar Targaryen?

        VVD for me

      • Royal5
        • 12 Years
        5 years, 4 months ago

        People got short memories. Terry was fantastic. VVD still got much to prove.

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

          I know right, when VVD has won like maybe at least one title of some form then maybe this comparison can be made

          1. Royal5
            • 12 Years
            5 years, 4 months ago

            Exactly

        2. Jon Snow
          • 8 Years
          5 years, 4 months ago

          I did say this, he's a Liverpool fan and doesn't lile Terry

          That chelsea title winning team JT captained literally conceded 15 all season.

      • Brosstan
        • 9 Years
        5 years, 4 months ago

        Anyone who says VVD is suffering heavily from recency bias. Terry was consistently one of the top defenders in the world over a decade. What has VVD done? One good year at Liverpool? Even comparing them at this point is lol-worthy.

      Best Midfielder under 5m going forward please?

      1. Amey

      2. Alli 3',17',64�…
        • 5 Years

        Brooks, Camarasa (although he just got injured potentially)

      3. Garlana
        • 9 Years
        5 years, 4 months ago

        Cheers, brooks was my thought as well

      4. Tasty Jerk

        Kante

      6. Modest Bob
        • 5 Years

        They all go backwards sideways and forwards. Not sure i understand your question.

      7. Business Cat
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years

        Camarasa if he isn't too injured

          • 8 Years
          5 years, 4 months ago

          Seven. (Possibly he sees some game time in FA cup too) because of the league cup game vs Chelsea on the 8th

      2. Regin

        Yeah he needs 10 days rest.

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

      Why son will be available for Manu match if Asia cup starts on 5th jan? He is captain of South Korea.

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

        An agreement between Spurs and the national team.

      2. Cilly Bonnolly
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        5 years, 4 months ago

        Spurs arranged a deal with them so that he could join later.

      3. Ode
        • 6 Years
        5 years, 4 months ago

        Special permission to go there later

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

        He has special deal to go late, goes after Man U

      5. Gobigorgohome
        • 12 Years
        5 years, 4 months ago

        Spurs requested South Korea and they accepted

      6. Canary_Kid
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 4 months ago

        Poch made a deal with south korea to let him miss first game because he went to the Asian Games

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

        negotiations

      8. TRIPOS TOPPER
        • 6 Years

        yes

    22. Londongeezaa
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      Yesss. Son is off. Could have been much worse today.

    23. Drip Doctor
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      Why you always take Son off?

      1. Tasty Jerk
        • 11 Years

        Protect/rest for next match

      2. Ode

        He played 90mins last game

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

      I have to sacrifice too much to get Salah.

      This -8 makes me wanna spew

      I’d have to get rid of

      Martial Rashford and Alonso

      For

      Salah bamba and kamara

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

        No f$&#ing way.

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

          Yeah exactly. It’s why I’m going without Salah.

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

        No way.

      3. Futile Tinkering
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 4 months ago

        😆

      4. *Reformed-Character*
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 6 Years
        5 years, 4 months ago

        Must be another way, you’re sacrificing too many points by not getting him

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

          The other way is removing Kane or Sterling.

          I like Sterling a lot.

          1. *Reformed-Character*
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 6 Years
            5 years, 4 months ago

            Salah over Kane

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

            Remove Sterling

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

              This.

      5. Indpush
        • 6 Years
        5 years, 4 months ago

        You've always been happy without Salah.

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

          And this is why !

        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years

        Similar thoughts, Salah needed for rest of the season.

      10. Brosstan
        • 9 Years
        5 years, 4 months ago

        Looks horrible. Dont do it.

      11. Royal5
        • 12 Years
        5 years, 4 months ago

        Lolorama

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

        i mean it looks bad but it depends on the rest of your plays. If Kamara is your only bench fodder and you have 3 good defenders already then it's fine.

        Still, maybe not for a -8. Would wait 1 week and do it for a -4

    25. BOATIES FC
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      Auba and Holjberg to Salah and Kamara for free? Pools fixtures look better than the gunners short term

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

        Yes.

    26. Jealous Viper
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      Not totally happy with Kane here tbvh

      1. MTPockets
          5 years, 4 months ago

          Same but he keeps getting points and has the fixtures for more

        • Patch
          • 6 Years
          5 years, 4 months ago

          As long as Salah and Haz get roughly a goal or so then no real gain

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

        Come on Cardiff ruin their cleanie

        1. g40steve

        Thoughts on this:

        Sane, Laporte & Rashford -> Salah, Bednarek & Ings -4

        1. g40steve
          • 6 Years
          5 years, 4 months ago

          Rmember it's Hazard, could easily be a 2 pointer
